Just a week after a report suggested that Samsung is scrapping plans for a second-gen Galaxy "Edge" phone due to low sales of the Galaxy S25 Edge, it looks like Apple may be scaling back production of its ultrathin iPhone Air for similar reasons. Maybe people aren't as happy to trade battery life and features for something thinner than an already-thin smartphone after all?
In other recent tech news from around the web, more companies are stuffing AI into web browsers, hoping that's a thing users want, and there are at least two kits coming soon that will let you turn a LEGO Game Boy into a playable retro console soon. Both will be hitting crowdfunding sites soon.

This follows reports that Samsung has scrapped plans for a Galaxy S26 Edge due to sluggish S25 Edge sales. Maybe thin isn't in? asia.nikkei.com/spotlight/su…

And it looks like the kit that supports cartridges (and uses an actual Game Boy CPU) will be hitting Crowd Supply soon. www.theverge.com/games/805673…

Another AI-powered web browser is here. Following on the heels of Perplexity's Comet browser, OpenAI is launching ChatGPT Atlas. With Chrome and Edge also adding AI features, soon your browser will do all your web surfing (and shopping) for you. *sigh* www.theverge.com/ai-artificia…
