Apple is getting ready to launch new 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air models powered by the M4 chip soon. According to Mark Gurman’s latest report, the company is reportedly preparing for a March debut.

Rumours about the M4 MacBook Air have been circulating for months. Back in December, references to the new model even appeared in the macOS 15.2 beta hinting that a launch was imminent. The leaked software references the ‌MacBook Air‌ 13-inch M4 2025 and the ‌MacBook Air‌ 15-inch M4 2025″ which confirms that upcoming M4 ‌MacBook Air‌ models are in development and are most likely close to launching.

Gurman also had previously noted that the MacBook Air was on track to launch earlier than other spring products like the iPhone 16e and iPad Air.

However, the MacBook Air is still missing when the iPhone 16e has already arrived.

Now latest reports suggest that it is expected to change soon. Gurman reports that Apple is now preparing its marketing, sales and retail teams for the M4 MacBook Air launch. Moreover, the current M2 and M3 MacBook Air models are seeing low stock in stores, which further hints at an upcoming refresh.

Aside from the M4 chip, there aren’t many confirmed upgrades for the new MacBook Air. However, some possible improvements include the following –

  • Thunderbolt 4 support (instead of USB 4/Thunderbolt 3)
  • A centre-stage camera for better video calls
  • A nano-texture display option for reduced glare

These features have already appeared in other M4-powered Macs, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see them on the new Air as well.

With Apple gearing up for launch, we should get official details very soon.

While specific video upgrades aren’t detailed in the report, it’s clear Apple is gearing up to make a big leap in mobile video recording.

Apple Plans to Integrate Modems Into Main Chipset, But It’ll Take Years

  • Apple plans to integrate future modems directly into the main chipset of its devices.
  • The iPhone 16e introduced the first-ever in-house 5G C1 modem.
  • Apple will introduce the C2 modem next year for higher-end iPhones and the C3 modem later.
  • The goal is to integrate the modem directly into the main chipset by 2028.

Apple is planning to take in-house modem technology to the next level. According to Mark Gurman’s latest Power On newsletter, the company is working on integrating its future modems directly into the main chipset of its devices. This means that instead of having an A18 chip and a separate C1 modem, everything will be combined into one. However, this shift will take a few years to happen.

With the iPhone 16e, Apple quietly introduced its first-ever in-house 5G modem, the C1 modem. This was a key step in Apple’s long-term plan to replace Qualcomm modems in iPhones. However, for now, the C1 modem is exclusive to the iPhone 16e and isn’t available across the entire lineup.

According to Gurman, Apple will introduce the C2 modem next year but only in higher-end iPhones. Then, the C3 modem is expected later and will ideally outperform Qualcomm’s offerings altogether. The C1 modem for now isn’t perfect with some trade-offs in performance. However, its power efficiency has given the iPhone 16e the best battery life ever in a 6.1-inch iPhone.

Once Apple surpasses Qualcomm in performance, the company’s next goal is to integrate the modem directly into the main chipset. Gurman says this move will improve cost and efficiency, but it won’t happen until at least 2028.

Meanwhile, many tech enthusiasts online posed an interesting question. Will Apple still offer separate cellular and Wi-Fi-only versions of its devices? Right now, iPads and Apple Watches require a $50-$150 upgrade for cellular support. If Apple’s in-house modems become the default, could all devices have built-in cellular by default?

While answers to these questions are something only time will tell, Apple’s modem strategy is clearly evolving and we can expect big changes in the next few years.

FAQs

Q1. What is Apple’s plan for modem technology in its future devices?

Answer. Apple plans to integrate its future modems directly into the main chipset of its devices, combining the A18 chip and the modem into one, but this shift will take several years to happen.

Q2. What is the current status of Apple’s in-house modems?

Answer. The iPhone 16e introduced Apple’s first-ever in-house 5G modem, the C1 modem. Apple will introduce the C2 modem next year for higher-end iPhones and the C3 modem later, aiming to outperform Qualcomm’s offerings.

Q3. When does Apple aim to integrate the modem into the main chipset?

Answer. Apple aims to integrate the modem directly into the main chipset by 2028 improving cost and efficiency.

  • Expected features – a 6.7-inch display, Snapdragon 8 Elite (for Galaxy) chipset, 12GB RAM, 256GB storage, a 4,000mAh battery and possibly a 200-megapixel + 12-megapixel dual-camera setup.

Samsung officially teased the ultra-slim Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge last month at the recent Galaxy Unpacked event. Since then not much has been revealed about the upcoming slim smartphone. But this is changing as we approach the official launch, more details are emerging.

A leaked hands-on video has given us the first real look at Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S25 Edge. The footage originally shared by YouTuber Alexis Garza showcased the phone’s ultra-thin design and compared it to the Galaxy Z Fold 6. Although the video has since been taken down, it revealed key details about the device’s hardware and build.

Here’s everything we know about the phone.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge – What To Expect?

The Galaxy S25 Edge is shaping up to be one of Samsung’s slimmest smartphones with reports suggesting it measures just 5.48mm thick. In the leaked video, the phone was placed next to the unfolded Galaxy Z Fold 6, which is 5.6mm thick in its unfolded state.

The S25 Edge is also rumoured to feature a ceramic back giving it a premium feel.

The camera module on the S25 Edge looks like a smaller version of the one found on the Z Fold 6. However, its slim form factor comes with a trade-off as it packs a 4,000mAh battery, which is relatively small for a flagship device. The phone is expected to sport a 6.7-inch display, whereas the standard Galaxy S25 has a smaller 6.2-inch screen but features the same battery capacity.

As for the cameras, there’s still some uncertainty. The AIDA64 app displayed three 12-megapixel sensors, but leaks suggest the phone might actually feature a 200-megapixel + 12-megapixel dual-camera setup. The video also confirms support for Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge – Launch Timeline

Highlights

  • WhatsApp is testing a new notification setting to ‘show count until viewed’ in beta.
  • It keeps the home screen badge visible until unread messages and calls are manually viewed.
  • There’s no confirmed timeline for the feature’s rollout to all users.
  • It could arrive in a future update since it’s already appearing in beta.

If you rely on WhatsApp for messaging, you’ve probably noticed how the home screen badge notification works. It shows a red counter indicating the number of pending notifications. However, the counter disappears as soon as you open the app, even if you haven’t checked any of your unread messages.

This can be frustrating for users who want to keep track of conversations and it increases the risk of missing messages if the app is opened accidentally.

Now, WhatsApp seems to be working on a fix.

New WhatsApp Notification Toggle Spotted in Beta

According to WABetaInfo, the latest WhatsApp beta (version 2.25.4.20) introduces a new notification setting under ‘Home screen notifications’ in the app’s settings.

A new toggle called ‘Show count until viewed’ is being tested and its description states, “Show total unseen messages and calls on the WhatsApp icon until you view them.”

WABetaInfo explains, “In the screenshot on the left, you can see the current feature that lets users clear the app icon’s notification count completely when they open the app. On the right, you can see that WhatsApp is exploring the implementation of a feature that will allow home screen chat notifications to remain visible until they are manually viewed, scheduled for release in a future update.”

If enabled, the home screen badge will remain visible until you manually view unread messages and calls. If disabled, WhatsApp will continue with its current behaviour, where the badge disappears as soon as you open the app. The current way is helpful if you want to keep messages unread without constant alerts.

As of now, there’s no confirmed timeline for when this feature will roll out to all users. However, since it’s already appearing in beta, it could arrive in a future update soon.

FAQs

Q1. What is the new notification setting being tested in WhatsApp beta?

Answer. The latest WhatsApp beta (version 2.25.4.20) introduces a new notification setting under ‘Home screen notifications’ called ‘Show count until viewed’.

Q2. How does the new ‘Show count until viewed’ setting work?

Q3. Is there a confirmed timeline for when the new notification feature will roll out to all users?

Answer. As of now, there’s no confirmed timeline for when this feature will roll out to all users, but since it’s already appearing in beta, it could arrive in a future update soon.

Xiaomi 15 Ultra – Camera Specifications

One of the biggest revelations was the full camera setup of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra featuring a quad-camera system. Following are the key camera specs of the upcoming flagship device –

  • 50MP primary sensor (1/0.98-inch, 23mm, f/1.63)
  • 50MP ultra-wide camera (14mm, f/2.2)
  • 50MP telephoto camera (70mm, f/1.8) with 10cm telephoto macro
  • 200MP periscope telephoto camera (1/1.4-inch, 100mm, f/2.6)
  • Supports in-sensor zoom (ISZ) with lossless output at 200mm and 400mm
  • Offers multiple focal lengths: 0.6x, 1x, 2x, 3x, 4.3x, 8.7x, and 17.3x

Xiaomi is focusing on improving night photography with an “ultra-pure optical system” aiming to set a new benchmark in mobile imaging. However, this generation will not feature a variable aperture.

The Xiaomi 15 Ultra isn’t just an imaging powerhouse, it’s now positioned as a “pinnacle imaging technology flagship” featuring top-tier hardware. However, with these premium upgrades, pricing is also expected to rise. In addition to its advanced camera system, the device will showcase Xiaomi’s latest innovations in battery, display, and connectivity.

Another major announcement was the first public reveal of the Xiaomi Imaging Lab, a state-of-the-art facility built with an investment of over 20 million Yuan. The lab features real-world setups like cafés, museums, jewellery stores, luxury boutiques and restaurants to test smartphone cameras in realistic environments. A second phase of development will introduce artificial sunlight and water systems.

Xiaomi’s investment in this lab is one reason why the brand is no longer focusing on DXOMARK rankings.

Other Xiaomi Launches

Alongside the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, the launch event will introduce several other products including the following –

  • Mi Home Central Air Conditioner
  • Mijia Washer and Dryer Set Pro
  • Dual-system Refrigerator Pro
  • Super XiaoAI Speaker
