This week, the Apple iPhone 17 -Launch teased, and FlipePR devices disputed claims that the technology helps people steal cars.
To catch up with all this, and five more of the Top Tech news stories of the week rolls down the latest iteration of our weekly Icymi Assembly.
Next week is IFA and we are sure to see some big messages there (maybe even from Samsung), so be sure to check back to the next seven -day summary.
7. Could eternal tease Downfall to doomsday?
Eternals Was the 2021 Marvel movie that instantly flopped, with both fans and critics who criticized its urgent character development over a shorter run -out. In a new interview with Vanity Fair, director Chloe Zhao claimed that having unlimited money and resources was “actually quite dangerous,” and added to her preparing her for the upcoming November release, Hamnet.
But what if the same logic could be used for Avengers: Doomsday? It is the decade’s film moment for MCU, so of course the study throws care of the unlimited wind, even if it doesn’t make sense to look in from the outside. In dangerous entertainment times and apparently no limits to what happens when you make Judgment DayZhao’s comments should perhaps be observed as a warning.
6. A new solar -driven security cam debuted
If you like the idea of having a smart security camera that keeps an eye on your home but you don’t like the idea of taking it down to charge, Swann has the solution. Swann Evo Wireless Solar can continue to run with only 45 minutes of sunlight a day and is weatherproof so you can mount it almost everywhere. There is no need to pay a subscription fee because all your videos are stored locally on an SD card. Now it’s smart.
It is not the cheapest home security camera around, but once you have entered the solar panel and the absence of monthly membership fees to watch your videos, it looks very reasonable at $ 129.99 / £ 99.99 / AU $ 179.95.
5. Samsung’s next unpacked got a date
We sometimes worry for the people at Samsung HQ. By 2025, the company has hosted separate launch events for Samsung Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Edge and New Galaxy Z Foldables, and it looks like we get another Galaxy Showcase before the year is out.
Coincident with IFA 2025 on September 4, Samsung’s next “Galaxy Event” will see “Premium AI tablets” and “The newest member of the Galaxy S25 family” enters the fold. This almost certainly means the Galaxy Tab S11 series and the Galaxy S25 FE are just around the corner, and thanks to more leaks and rumors we think we have a pretty good idea of what we can expect from all three new devices.
4. Flipper -Units responded to the claim of car theft
Could a device of $ 200 be the next big thing in car theft? A report that discovered that underground hacker networks sell flipper zero -software -patches that can unlock all kinds of cars -even big brands like Ford, Audi and Volkswagen.
The “Multi-Tool device for Geeks” is intended for security researchers to demonstrate vulnerabilities responsibly, but some bad actors abuse the device to mess with Tesla Charge ports, change traffic lights and now seemingly hacker into cars-self-silver lining is that the reports say the utilization can only open a car, you can’t drive it.
Flipper -Units reached out to us with a statement saying, “We are not aware of any officially confirmed cases of theft using a flipper zero.” And to contest claims, these hacks are even effective as flipper Zero lacks “hardware to suppress the radio signals, which would be necessary to crack systems that properly use rolling codes” as a key -free input system.
3. DJI launched a new microphone
DJI revealed MIC 3, the latest Premium release in the company’s popular portable wireless microphomic potential. It comes only 18 months after DJI MIC 2, and it will replace its predecessor at the top of Techradar’s best wireless microfonguide thanks to some meaningful design and performance updates.
Our camera editor Timothy Coleman first recently bought MIC 2 and loves it, so he was a little skeptical of the need for a new model. However, after receiving our review of DJI MIC 3, it only took him a few seconds to see why people may want to upgrade and he admits to having a color of regret over the time of his purchase.
The two models detect both 24-bit and 32-bit float sound, but MIC 3 has a smaller, cleared design, better battery life and a variety of audio upgrades, including time code support, two-level noise cancellation and improved transmission area. In short, DJI MIC 3 sets the bar to small wireless microphones.
2. Google told us what it doesn’t make
We may have just been treated with six new Pixel devices – including four new phones – but if you were desperate for a flip that is foldable or a successor of the Pixel tablet, continue to wait.
Google’s vice president of devices and services Shakil Barkat confirmed that there are no plans for a Google Flip to be foldable to participate in the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Barkat also excluded a smart ring and says the Pixel Tablet series is on the break until a “meaningful future” can be considered the product category.
The status of smart glasses is meanwhile “TBD”.
1. Apple sets the iPhone 17 -launch Date
We all expected an Apple event in September, and the Cupertino-based technology giant has just made it officially by sending invitations to a special event on September 9, with tagline, “Awe drop”.
It starts at. 10.00 PT / 13:00 ET / 18:00 BST on September 9, 2025 (03:00 September 10) at Apple Park, and we cover it from the ground to break down all the biggest messages when they happen.
Judging by the rumors and what Apple has shown in last September-daring events, we expect the iPhone 17-Set-Inclusive the brand new, super-thin iPhone 17 Air-New Apple Watches and even AirPods. So as always you won’t miss it!
