Multiple reports have already revealed that Apple is working on making the iPhone 17 Air the thinnest phone in the company’s portfolio. Now a recent Bloomberg report reveals more precise details about how thin the upcoming iPhone is actually going to be.

As per the reports, the Apple iPhone 17 Air will be 25% thinner than the current iPhone 16 Pro model. This will make it ‘thinnest phone yet’ in Apple’s portfolio.

Thinnest Apple Product

Apple has been pushing for thinner and sleeker devices for a while now. In the year 2024, we first had the M4 iPad Pro launched in May as Apple’s thinnest device ever. This was followed by the Apple Watch Series 10 in September with a significant reduction in thickness.

However, the iPhone 16 series didn’t change much when it comes to the thickness of the phones. Apple is working on changing this with the iPhone 17 Air.

The current iPhone measurements are as follows –

iPhone 16: 7.8mm
iPhone 16 Plus: 7.8mm
iPhone 16 Pro: 8.25mm
iPhone 16 Pro Max: 8.25mm

iPhone 17 Air – Company’s Thinnest Phone Yet

The new model won’t feature top-tier specs but is expected to showcase Apple’s vision for the future of iPhone design.

According to Mark Gurman in a Bloomberg report, “That device will be the company’s thinnest phone yet and showcase why Apple spent billions of dollars to replace Qualcomm…By using its own modem, Apple is able to create a smartphone that’s about 2 millimetres thinner than an iPhone 16 Pro.”

A 2mm reduction from the iPhone 16 Pro’s thickness would make the iPhone 17 Air approximately 6mm thick. This amounts to an overall thickness reduction of about 25%, which is slightly more for Pro models and slightly less for the base models.

Apple clearly is focusing in making its devices more sleeker and thinner. With all the new rumours and updates, it looks like iPhone 17 Air could set a new benchmark in this regards for both the company and smartphone industry.

Amazon India’s Head of Consumer Electronics and Former CEO of its largest seller Cloudtail, Ranjit Babu has stepped down in a major leadership churn. Babu’s resignation follows a string of senior-level departures including that of former India head Manish Tiwary.

Babu has been a key figure at Amazon India for over a decade and has held key roles in top-performing categories. His stint at Cloudtail played a vital role in shaping Amazon’s success in India.

In December 2022, Babu took on additional responsibilities after senior executive Noor Patel moved to Amazon US. By July 2023, he was promoted to head the consumer electronics division and was overseeing high-revenue categories like smartphones.

“He has resigned and is moving on,” a source was quoted in the Economic Times report.

Amazon declined to comment on his departure.

Babu’s resignation comes amid a broader restructuring effort. A company veteran Samir Kumar has stepped into the role of India head after Tiwary’s exit. Other senior executives including Gaurav Arora and Suresh John have also left the organisation recently.

Tiwary’s departure came when analysts suggested Amazon India has been losing market share in key categories to competitor Flipkart. In response, Amazon is working to mark its position in core e-commerce and enter the fast-growing quick-commerce sector as well.

The company is expected to launch its quick commerce platform codenamed Tez by January.

Despite leadership changes, Amazon Seller Services the Indian marketplace arm reported a 14% increase in operating revenue to ₹25,406 crore for the last financial year. Net losses were reduced by 28% to ₹3,469 crore.

However, the revenue growth of 3% in FY23 lags behind the 32% and 49% seen during FY22 and FY21, respectively.

The bulk of Amazon’s revenue in India comes from third-party seller services subscriptions like Amazon Prime and advertising. The company also earns royalties from licensing digital content. In FY24, Amazon Seller Services received a ₹830 crore fund infusion from its parent company, followed by an additional ₹1,660 crore in FY25.

Meanwhile, Amazon India’s logistics, payments and wholesale divisions posted moderate revenue growth of 7-11% in FY24 along with slight reductions in losses.

With senior leadership shifts and intensified competition, Amazon India’s future strategies including its upcoming quick commerce launch will be crucial in maintaining its position in the market.

FAQs

Q1. Why did Ranjit Babu resign from Amazon India?

Answer. Ranjit Babu, Amazon India’s Head of Consumer Electronics and former CEO of Cloudtail, has stepped down amid a broader restructuring effort, following other senior-level departures.

Q2. How did Amazon Seller Services in India perform financially in the last financial year?

Answer. Amazon Seller Services reported a 14% increase in operating revenue to ₹25,406 crore for the last financial year. Net losses were reduced by 28% to ₹3,469 crore but revenue growth slowed to 3% in FY23.

Q3. What future strategies is Amazon India planning to maintain its market position?

Answer. Amazon India is focusing on strengthening its core e-commerce position and entering the quick commerce sector, with plans to launch its quick commerce platform codenamed Tez by January.

Bomb threats sent to nearly 40 schools across Delhi caused panic and led to evacuations. Prestigious schools like DPS RK Puram, DPS Vasant Kunj, GD Goenka Paschim Vihar, The British School and several DAV schools were targeted via emails received late Sunday night.

Delhi Police confirmed, “Two schools in Delhi received bomb threats via e-mail—one in RK Puram and another one in Paschim Vihar. School administrations have sent children back to their homes. Fire and police informed.”

The threatening email reportedly read, “I planted multiple bombs inside (school) buildings. The bombs are small and hidden very well. While they won’t cause significant damage to the buildings, they will injure many people when detonated. If I do not receive $30,000, I will detonate the bombs,” according to ANI.

The first alert came from GD Goenka Paschim Vihar at 6:15 am, followed by DPS RK Puram at 7 am. The emails sent at 11:38 pm on Sunday claimed that bombs were planted on school premises.

The Delhi Police, Bomb Disposal Squads (BDS) and fire department teams quickly responded, conducting thorough searches at all affected schools. While no suspicious items have been found so far, students and staff were evacuated as a precaution. Schools remain temporarily closed as investigations continue. Cybercrime teams are working to trace the source of the emails.

Delhi Chief Minister Atishi expressed her concerns on social media, criticizing the central government. She wrote, “After the daily incidents of ransom, murders, firing in Delhi, now threats of bombing of schools are being received. The law and order situation in Delhi has never been so bad before. The BJP-ruled central government has failed in its only task of providing security to the people of Delhi.”

दिल्ली में रोजमर्रा होने वाली फिरौती, हत्याओं, गोलीबारी की घटनाओं के बाद अब स्कूलों को बम से उड़ाने की धमकियाँ मिल रही है।

दिल्ली में लॉ एंड ऑर्डर की ऐसी बदहाल हालत पहले कभी नहीं रही। भाजपा शासित केंद्र सरकार दिल्ली वालों को सुरक्षा देने के अपने इकलौते काम में फेल हो चुकी है…

— Atishi (@AtishiAAP) December 9, 2024

AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal also criticised Union Home Minister Amit Shah, saying, “The people of Delhi have never seen such a bad state of law and order in Delhi before. Amit Shah ji should come and answer the people of Delhi.”

दिल्ली वालों ने दिल्ली में कानून व्यवस्था की इतनी बुरी हालत पहले कभी नहीं देखी थी। अमित शाह जी को आकर दिल्ली वालों को जवाब देना चाहिए।

— Arvind Kejriwal (@ArvindKejriwal) December 9, 2024

This isn’t the first time Delhi has faced such incidents. In May, over 100 schools received bomb threats that turned out to be hoaxes. Similar threats were later made to Delhi airport, hospitals, and malls. In August, more than 100 hospitals and shopping centres were targeted, with all threats proving false.

The recent threats have disrupted school operations and heightened concerns about safety, but authorities remain vigilant to ensure public security.

Highlights

Samsung plans to ship 37 million Galaxy S25 units in 2025 after the success of the Galaxy S24.
Galaxy S24’s strong sales were driven by on-device Galaxy AI features like Live Translate and Chat Assist.

Samsung is gearing up for its next Unpacked event in January to unveil the 2025 flagship Galaxy S25 series. A recent Korean media report speculates that the company is setting a bigger sales goal for itself in 2025 based on the number of units it is planning to ship.

After the success of the Galaxy S24 lineup with strong sales driven by on-device Galaxy AI features, Samsung plans to ship even more Galaxy S25 units next year. Here’s what Korean media suggests.

The Upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25

According to Korean media publisher The Elec, the company is targeting shipments of 37 million Galaxy S25 handsets in 2025—a two-million-unit increase year-over-year.

The report also indicates that Samsung will deliver around 35 million Galaxy S24 units this year, surpassing Galaxy S23 sales from 2023.

One of the main reasons for Galaxy S24’s success has been the on-device Galaxy AI features, which include useful tools Live Translate and Chat Assist.

Live Translate on Galaxy AI enables seamless phone conversations between two people speaking different languages as it translates speech in real time.

The conversations with the AI tool here remain private since it operates on-device.

This capability turned out to be particularly useful for small businesses expanding globally, which helped in increasing its popularity.

Apple is serious about the future of Apple Vision Pro despite low sales numbers and the many industry naysayers. Recent reports suggest the company is working with Sony to make the Vision Pro headset more gaming compatible.

According to Bloomberg’s Apple reporter Mark Gurman, Apple plans to support standard VR game controllers on the Vision Pro to make it more appealing for gamers.

In his recent Power On newsletter, Gurman notes that gaming is not currently the Vision Pro’s strong suit. However, the company is doing everything possible to change that for future versions.

Gurman writes, “Apple is now working on a major effort to support third-party hand controllers in the device’s visionOS software and has teamed up with Sony Group Corp. to make it happen.”

While there’s no specific timeline, a future update to visionOS is expected to add this support.

Moreover, Apple is reportedly also looking at the Sony collaboration as a means to bring PlayStation VR2 controllers to the Vision Pro.

Gurman shared, “Apple approached Sony earlier this year, and the duo agreed to work together on launching support for the PlayStation VR2’s hand controllers on the Vision Pro. Inside Sony, the work has been a monthslong undertaking, I’m told. And Apple has discussed the plan with third-party developers, asking them if they’d integrate support into their games.”

However, the collaboration has faced delays.

Apple and Sony initially aimed to announce this feature last month but it was postponed. Gurman suggests the feature is still on track unless plans are abruptly shelved.

Apple also explored a different kind of input device, prototyping a “wand” similar to an Apple Pencil for precise controls.

Currently, the Vision Pro supports traditional gaming controllers from Xbox and PlayStation for Apple Arcade games.

However, it doesn’t support standard VR controllers, limiting its ability to handle most VR games.

Sales of the Vision Pro have been underwhelming so far with “fewer than half a million units” sold. Many users are reportedly using the headset less frequently than Apple anticipated. So, adding better VR gaming support could help improve adoption and sales.

As we mentioned in the beginning, Apple remains committed to the Vision Pro despite many challenges.

Answer. Yes, the collaboration has faced delays, but Apple remains committed to adding better VR gaming support to boost the adoption and sales of the Vision Pro.

Q3. What is the current support for gaming controllers on the Vision Pro?

Answer. Currently, the Vision Pro supports traditional gaming controllers from Xbox and PlayStation for Apple Arcade games but doesn’t support standard VR controllers.
