It was an open secret that we can confirm. Neither the iPhone Mini nor the subsequent Plus model had the expected result and this year Apple proves a new formula with the iPhone Air. And yes, following the wake of the Macbook Air, Ultrafine design is its differential point And he has made Apple have to make certain sacrifices. Let’s see what the new family offers. Ultrafine Design and Size ‘Plus’ 5.6 millimetersthat is the thickness of the new member of the iPhone family. Apple has not said how much measuring the camera module, but by the photos it seems that it stands out a lot. To put it in context, the iPhone 16 Plus, its predecessor, has a thickness of 7.8 millimeters, which is a slimming of 2.2 millimeters. In addition to its extreme thinness, the design stands out for The module where the camera goes, which is now horizontal and occupies the entire width of the phone. This is where they have found the space to place all the components. For the rest, it maintains the usual aesthetics with rounded corners, straight edges and the dynamic island at the top of the screen. In case someone worries resistance on such a fine mobile (Vietnam’s memories with the iPhone 6), Apple has manufactured it about a Grade Titanium Chassis And it has Ceramic Shield glass 2. According to Apple, it is four times more resistant to breakage and three times more scratch resistant. Although the iPhone Air is a new proposal with its own last name, it still has a certain ‘plus’ spirit. The screen measures 6.5 inches And, like him iPhone 17also comes with Promotion technology that adjusts the refreshment rate from 120Hz to 1Hz, putting the entire range at the same level. The maximum bright peak is 3,000 nits. The price of thinness Reduce both thickness entails sacrifices and one is the battery. Apple has not revealed the exact capacity. What they have said is that they have redesigned the interior to maximize the battery space. Rumors point out that it could be 2,800 mAha figure that seems at all insufficient for such a large screen. We will see in the review. At the moment we have to settle for autonomy, which according to Apple will be a full day, although they do not give more details. Next to the mobile they have presented a new thinner Magsafe battery. It is not a good sign for autonomy. On the other hand, although Apple has not said that it is because of thinness, the iPhone Air It only has one camera. It is the same main camera that carries the iPhone 17; A 48 megapixel sensor with f/1.6 lens and optical stabilizer. A fact: the last high -end iPhone that had only one camera was the iPhone 8 and currently we only found the 16E iPhone with that configuration. Apple has managed a system for the camera to give us a certain game even if it is only one. By default, you will take the photos to 24 megapixels and Playing with the resolution emulates a system of several cameras. For example, to make Zoom 2x reduce images to 12 megapixels. We still have no angular, but something is something. By the way, the front camera rises to 18 megapixels and has Center Stage. Goodbye, SIM card. Hello, chip n1 One of the most important changes (although perhaps not so attractive) is the absence of SIM tray. With the excuse of thinness, Apple gets rid of simple cards and We can only use it with an esim. For now the rest of the range retains the physical sim, but everything indicates that most likely in the next generation it disappears completely. That Apple has had to completely redesign the iPhone Air is not an exaggeration and we see the test in the Chip N1, The new brain in which all wireless connections are managed of the iPhone and is exclusive to the Air model, although it is expected that the rest of the range in future generations will be extended. It also has the C1X chip, the new modem that, according to Apple, is twice as quickly as the previous model and consumes 30% less battery. With respect to the processor, although we have seen that the iPhone Air makes some concessions that place it below the normal iPhone 17, the processor is not one of them. The new model equips the Chip A19 Prothe same that carry the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max. Of course it goes out standard with iOS 26 and its new Liquid Glass interface. Among the new functions that Apple has announced Live Translate, a real -time translator that uses artificial intelligence. Versions and prices of the iPhone Air The iPhone Air will arrive at the stores along with the rest of the models on September 19 in sky blue, light gold, white sky and black. About the price, although we have already seen that it stays below the iPhone 17 in several aspects, It will cost much more. This is the prices according to the capacity: 256GB: 1219 euros 512GB: 1469 euros 1TB: 1719 euros In Xataka | iOS 26: Output date, novelties, compatible iPhone and everything we know about the greatest change in iOS

The presentation event of the new iPhone has also allowed the watches to also charge prominence. We have known both the ambitious Apple Watch Ultra 3 and the Apple Watch Series S11. The funny thing is that the true leading events of the event have been the new Apple Watch Se 3. The reason is logical: the last renewal of these devices It occurred three years agoand that has allowed the jump in these “affordable” smart watches to be especially striking. In fact, the Apple Watch 3 approach more than ever to their older brothers. Long live the always active screen The novelties in the Apple Watch are 3 are the most notable of the three models presented today, and it is demonstrated by the fact that we finally have in this model the option of maintaining the screen always active, something that until now was reserved for the two high -end models of Apple. This improvement joins other remarkable other such as the inclusion of a new Apple S10 socate that is more powerful than that of its predecessors but does not compromise the battery. In fact in Apple they assure that the autonomy can reach 18 hoursand also supports a “fast charging” mode that is twice faster than in the second generation watch. According to the manufacturer, 15 minutes are enough to provide the 8 -hour extra autonomy clock. The third generation of these “affordable” watches allows their users to enjoy gestures such as double touch or doll’s turn. As for health monitoring, we have apnea detection, and sleep monitoring and score. The Apple Watch 3 have a speaker in which we can play music and podcasts. There is 5G networks supportand as in series 11 and ultra 3, the frontal glass of the SE 3 makes use of the ionx glass that according to Apple is twice the scratch resistant than that of its predecessors. Versions and Apple Watch Price Se 3 The new Apple Watch is available for reservation from today, and will be available in stores on September 19. The price starts from 249 euros.

Last year the tenth anniversary of the launch of the Apple Watch was fulfilled, and Apple celebrated it with a Singular redesign of your smart watch, the Apple Watch Series 10. We have just met your successor, the Apple Watch Series 11and as expected, the news, that there are, are more modest. Even so, those improvements are there, and although there are some slight changes in hardware, where things change more clearly is in the field of health in which Apple continues to focus these smart watches. If it works, don’t touch it The aforementioned redesign last year remains in the Apple Watch Series 11, but does it with a slight improvement: we are facing The thinner series watch Apple, something that among other things has contributed its new protective glass. It is a crystal that Apple calls Ionx and that according to those responsible is twice more resistant to the scratches than the Apple Watch Series 10. We have models manufactured in both aluminum and titanium, both in Wi-Fi version and in a version with 5G connectivity. Precisely in that section Apple talks about A new modem that theoretically improves the coverage of the signal, but that is also more efficient and consumes less battery if we opt for the model with mobile connectivity. In development …

Europe has made the decision to walk to the electric car. That it reaches the destination of 2035, with the approach to eliminate the sale of cars with combustion engines or that stumbles and a friendly hand helps you get up is something that only time will say. At the moment, the rules are written. And the rules say that cars cannot be sold with Combustion engines in 10 years (provided they are not neutral in carbon). But before, in 2030 and 2027 must be met Two milestones that should pave the way. The first says that brands will have to give an account in two years. Finished 2027 should appear before Europe to show them that The average fleet emissions sold between 2025 and 2027 It is less than 93.6 gr/km of CO2. In 2030, this figure is reduced by half. And the only way to get it is electrifying (and much) sales. But also adding with cars with combustion engines. As? With all those who move on the border or below the border of those 93.6 gr/km of CO2 so that they are not a river when counting. That forces to make an important economic effort and throw many accounts. Because electrifying a car is a greater economic effort. More expensive prices that reduce the margin of benefits in the range that leaves the most meager figure of the entire fleet. Solution? Make a car with love.

Much pampering “When we designed this car we put it locked. We had to take risks and knew that if it was seen in the early stages of the project they were going to cancel it.” Who speaks is Paula Fabregat, Head of Design of Renault in segments A and B. His words, while he describes each and every one of the details of the Renault Clio distil passion. He explains that designing a Renault Clio again is a capital challenge. “It is an icon For the brand but we were commissioned to do something totally new. From first I may not even remind you of a CLIO, ”Fabregat tells us. And indeed, no. It does not remind us of a Clio. At least first. Is that bad? Of course not. The front is baroque, full of edges and tension lines. Play with a curved surface on the side, much more complex than it is usually common in this price range. And closes with a rear equally baroque and very risky. Whether or not the market like. I recognize that the front does not finish fit. On the contrary, it seems very meritorious such a risky rearwith four optical groups that clearly remember a supercar. I would not say that the Renault Clio is beautiful or beautiful but of course it is a car that does not leave indifferent, that risks with each new generation. And win (a lot) live. The Renault Clio no longer plays in his own league, plays a sport that has been very complicated. The small and cheap car with combustion engine that, with the discomforts of its size, takes you everywhere but is a city winning spin no longer exists. A Seat Ibiza with an 116 hp engine (without electrifying) already plays on the border of the 20,000 euros. The cheapest Hyundai i20 with eco label (soft hybridization) also moves in those prices. The price of this Renault Clio has not yet been revealed but nothing tells us that it will be cheap. In Renault they play a step further. If they cannot compete for price for the technical obligations that are obliged to assemble (we return to Europes regulations, also in terms of security), they want to earn the favor of customers for offering a round product, well finished and with a technology at the height. That commitment to design is no accident. But neither are the multitude of details that can be seen inside. The instrument box maintains the 10 -inch screens game that we have seen in other group models. It comes promoted by Open R link, its operating system Mounted on Android Autowith access to Google Assistant, Google Maps or Google Play (they already tell us that it is compatible with streaming applications such as HBO or Amazon). As standard, the car is delivered with a monthly 2 GB data package for two years. There are very good details inside. In the dashboard a textile finish is used in all its versions. The seats seem comfortable (it will have to be confirmed with a test) and the physical controls have a good touch and are well topped. The good work of Renault in ergonomics in recent years is replicated in the Clio and is not chosen to reduce the pilot’s position. These details of spoiled car are more evident in their alpine finish level, with matching blue seams with small details of the same tone on the tires or on the front headlights. And risky moldings such as the horizontal plastic that the classic metal tones of the escapes with a gradged between the silver, multiple purple, lilac and blue. Risky and a little macarra. They have my instant “yes”. The real … Read more

The Münich Motor Show, now known as IAA Mobility, has begun to become one of the great events of the year in Europe. With the hug to electrification, manufacturers have taken this room (in the most important European market) as a key to presenting their novelties. This year, Mercedes has used it to present the New Mercedes GLC. How new GLC? If the GLC is just in the market for a while. Yes, but no. Because this Mercedes GLC is electric and its origin should not be sought in its (now) combustion brothers. Let’s clarify all this mess and tell you everything that brings the new Mercedes GLC … electric. Mercedes GLC Electric Technical Card Mercedes GLC Electric Body type. Five -seater SUV Measures and weight. 4,845 meters long, 1,913 meters wide, 1,644 meters high and 2,972 meters of wheelbase.

Version with 94 kWh battery and 490 hp motor (360 kW). price and launch Available in spring of 2026. Price to be confirmed. Reconfiguring the offer As we said, if we look back we will see that Mercedes presented the new GLC in 2022. Then he did it only with hybrid versions (including the plug -in, of course) but there was no trace of the electricity. That is because that variant already occupied the Mercedes EQC. But that car has not been sold too well and taking advantage of the fact that it was playing to renew it, Mercedes has decided give it a new life With a new generation that, now, takes advantage of the acronym GLC. It is a movement similar to that announced by Volkswagen with its ID.2 that It has been called ID. Poleassuming the classical denomination. With the change, the new Mercedes GLC Electric adopts the classic denomination but, also, the same design language as its combustion variants. Therefore, of the most stylized (and modern) front that we have seen in the EQ family, which They have not finished working in the Berlinas. Of course, the front grill will be entirely illuminated, highlighting the electric character of the vehicle, remembering the company’s chrome classic grills. To gain space to the battery, Mercedes has extended the car in eight centimeters. That allows you to solve a 94.5 kWh capacity battery. In the absence of knowing consumption in a more extensive analysis, that battery capacity should place the electric SUV between 450 and 500 real kilometers of autonomy if it is around 20 kWh/100 km on the road. According to WLTP cycle, the car declares 713 kilometers of autonomy so they are waiting for these figures. As for the load, Mercedes confirms that the battery uses the structure of 800 voltskey to sustaining very high powers that in this case reach 330 kW in direct current and 11 kW (22 kW in option) in alternating current. The company also reflects that the car can be charged in 400 volt plugs. A decision that comes after the enormous controversy generated when it was learned that the Electric Mercedes (The big car of the moment for Mercedes) did not include this possibility initially. According to the brand, you can recover 330 km in 12 minutes. All this will be moved by two synchronous electric motors of permanent magnets (the striker being disconnect) with a total power of 490 hp (360 kW) that allows it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/ in 4.3 seconds and reach a maximum of 210 km/ h. Inside, Mercedes does maintain the possibility of setting up his Hyperscreen. Mercedes ensures that it is a 39.1 inches screen “without seam” which immediately becomes the largest screen built by the company. It has matrix backhoper technology with more than 1,000 individual LEDs and by zonal attenuation allows simultaneous adjustment of two display areas through sliding controls. The other option is a three -screens game. The instrument box is 10.3 inch and the central and the passenger grow up to 14 inches. The latter, in the input options, is not “functional” but allows to include an image selected by the co -pilot or rotate among 12 previously selected options. Above itself there is an option that allows the control of certain parameters of the infotainment system. It is, according to the brand, the largest visualization unit of Mercedes-Benz to date. They ensure that it allows “exceptional clarity thanks to the high resolution and innovative matrix backhoper technology with more than 1,000 individual LEDs.” The area attenuation allows the simultaneous adjustment of two display areas through sliding controls. Mercedes-Benz has presented a patent for this innovative technology. The infotainment system will be conducted by what Mercedes calls “a artificial intelligence -driven supercomputer Both Microsoft and Google. “The software has Google Maps maps for navigation and a voice wizard driven by Google for the control of vehicle functions and access to information by searching in the network with artificial intelligence. In addition to the usual applications stores, Mercedes implements its own online payment service and the option to perform video calls from the car. In the rest of the cabin, the panoramic roof shines with its 162 stars illuminated individually. As for the launch and the price, we know that the car will arrive in the spring of 2026 but it remains to reveal the price of the same.
