TL;DR

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim is expected to launch in 39 countries, according to a report from PhoneArena, citing a reliable source.
The list of countries includes regions like Europe, Asia, and the Middle East but notably excludes the US.
It’s unlikely the Galaxy S25 Slim will be available through US carriers, corroborating an earlier rumor and Samsung’s history with slim models like the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition.

Samsung is expected to release a new “Slim” model as part of its Galaxy S25 lineup this year. There’s no official confirmation from the company, but we’ve been hearing a lot about the so-called Galaxy S25 Slim in the past few weeks. From leaked renders to details about its features and specs, information about the device is quickly trickling in. Now, a fresh download from PhoneArena claims to reveal a list of all the countries where the phone could ultimately launch.In the exclusive report, the publication cites a “historically reliable source” who states that the Galaxy S25 Slim will be available in 39 countries. While the list may not be complete, the outlet suggests it is nearly accurate. Here’s the list:

Afghanistan
Australia
Austria
Brazil
Caucasus
Croatia
Egypt
France
India
Iraq
Ireland
Israel
Kazakhstan
Kenya
Libya
Malaysia
Mexico
Morocco
Nigeria

Pakistan
Philippines
Poland
Portugal
Russia
Saudi Arabia
Senegal
Serbia/Montenegro
Singapore
Slovenia
South Africa
Srilanka
Switzerland
Thailand
Tunisia
Turkey
UAE
United Kingdom
Uzbekistan
Vietnam
Notably, the US is not listed as one of the countries where Samsung is expected to release the Galaxy S25 Slim. This corroborates a recent observation by tipster Evan Blass, who claimed that the upcoming device has something in common with Samsung’s previous slim phone, a.k.a the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition. He said the S25 Slim will “almost certainly not be offered through US carriers.”It’s not all that surprising that Samsung isn’t planning a US launch for the Galaxy S25 Slim. We’ve heard nothing about the device coming to the country in the run-up to the Galaxy S25 series launch on Wednesday.

Another, even more powerful HONOR Magic7 model could be on the way

Another, even more powerful HONOR Magic7 model could be on the way

According to a new rumor, HONOR is preparing yet another, even more powerful Magic7 model. As a reminder, the HONOR Magic7 Pro and the HONOR Magic7 RSR Porsche Design models have already been announced.
HONOR is seemingly planning to launch an even more powerful Magic7 model in April
Well, according to Fixed Focus Digital, a tipster, a new model is coming in April. He did share a couple of details when it comes to that phone. Based on that, it seems like it will be slightly upgraded.
The tipster claims that the phone will feature a 6,000mAh+ battery, so it could even break the 6,000mAh barrier. On top of that, it will have a “dynamic periscope camera”.
The HONOR Magic7 RSR Porsche Design model already has an upgraded periscope telephoto camera compared to the main unit. It comes with ultra-large aperture lens, and dual electromagnetic focus motors for macro photos.
It is worth saying that the HONOR Magic7 Pro and HONOR Magic7 RSR Porsche Design already launched for global markets. We’ve actually reviewed the HONOR Magic7 Pro recently, in case you’re interested.
This phone could get only a couple of changes
We’re not sure if there will be any other changes to this upcoming device. It could be only about the battery and the periscope camera, who knows. It is also said to be a refinement of the main model, the HONOR Magic7 Pro.
If we had to guess the name, we’d say it’ll be called the HONOR Magic7 Ultra. That’s just a wild guess, though, nothing indicates that HONOR will actually use that name, at least not yet. Who knows what name the company will opt for.
We’re not sure another Magic7 model is necessary, but there you go. That variant could, however, end up being exclusive to China. We’ll just have to wait and see.

ChatGPT brings its conversational search engine to everyone


New custom instructions added to ChatGPTResponses become more personal to youMore new features expected in 2025OpenAI has confirmed via X.com that it has introduced new customization features to ChatGPT. The new features that allow you to customize how the AI chatbot responds to you are rolling out now in the browser-based version of ChatGPT and on desktop on Windows.The release currently doesn’t cover users in the EU, Norway, Iceland Liechtenstein, and Switzerland, but will be “available soon” according to OpenAI. It’s also not available yet in the Mac app. OpenAI says the new features will be coming to desktop on MacOS ”in the next few weeks.”We’ve updated custom instructions to make it easier to customize how ChatGPT responds to you.With the new UI, you can tell ChatGPT the traits you want it to have, how you want it to talk to you, and any rules you want it to follow. pic.twitter.com/BaXaqAw5cEJanuary 17, 2025Accessing the new featuresThe update includes two new options in the Customize ChatGPT dialog box (available by clicking on your icon, and then choosing Customize ChatGPT from the menu that appears). The first is ‘What should ChatGPT call you?’ and the second is ‘What do you do?’ which is asking for your occupation.In the ‘What traits should ChatGPT have?’ box you’ll find new options have been added including ‘Chatty’, ‘Witty’, and ‘Opinionated’.Below this box is a new ‘What else would you like ChatGPT to know about you?’ box, where you can type in your interests and values.Once you’ve entered some information in these boxes you’ll find your interactions with ChatGPT are taken to a much more personal level, which can help save you time, since you don’t have to keep asking it to respond in a certain way. It will also tailor information to your profession.Click on your user account icon in the top right of the screen to access the new customization options. (Image credit: OpenAI/Apple)Much more personalI’ve experimented with the options and the effects are immediate. I love the more chatty GPT, for instance. And if you want a bit of fun you can ask to reply in “casual bro talk”, or “like you’re in a Jane Austen novel”. In fact, the possibilities are endless.Sign up for breaking news, reviews, opinion, top tech deals, and more.The only thing I found a bit limiting was not being able to set up multiple personality profiles. Currently, if you want to turn off your custom settings, or switch easily between two different modes of reply, you have to go back to this menu then edit and save it every time.While welcome, this update to ChatGPT is fairly minor, and we’re still waiting for some of the more exciting updates we’ve been promised for 2025, most notably an AI Agent from ChatGPT. So far in 2025 OpenAI has added a new tasks feature, which goes some way towards the goal of an AI agent by enabling you to set reminders for certain times using ChatGPT, but is still a fair way off the full autonomous agent experience we’re looking forward to.You might also like

2027’s MacBook Air could feature this Pro display feature

macOS Sequoia on MacBook Air M2

Mahmoud Itani / Android AuthorityTL;DR

Due to lower-than-expected iPad Pro sales, Apple may delay the OLED MacBook Air till 2029.
The MacBook Air could adopt oxide TFT technology in 2027 to boost the display’s performance.
The MacBook Pro is reportedly still on track to feature OLED panels next year.

Apple was initially rumored to adopt OLED panels for the MacBook Pro and Air in 2026 and 2027, respectively. However, due to lower-than-expected demand for the OLED iPad Pro (M4), the company may postpone the Air model’s switch to OLED until 2029. Nevertheless, the MacBook Air is still set to receive a welcome display upgrade in 2027.According to The Elec, the MacBook Air will retire its amorphous silicon (a-Si) TFT LCD in 2027 in favor of an oxide TFT LCD. Apple’s Pro notebook models first acquired this technology in 2022, contributing to a longer battery life, more vibrant colors, higher contrast ratio, and other display enhancements. While this upgrade won’t be as impactful as switching to OLED on the MacBook Air, it’s a welcome boost compared to the existing amorphous silicon TFT LCD.It’s worth noting that the MacBook Pro will reportedly stick to the initial plan and debut with OLED in 2026. So, those desperately seeking a superior display can opt for a Pro model next year instead of waiting for 2029’s MacBook Air. However, given the ever-changing nature of Apple rumors, it’s not unlikely that the company will alter these goals or scrap them at some point before then.In the meantime, the iPhone maker could release M4 MacBook Air models as early as this month. Towards the end of this year, Apple may also upgrade 2024’s MacBook Pro from M4 to M5. Both launches will likely revolve around incremental performance boosts rather than significant changes to their interior or exterior.

The TikTok Ban: What You Need to Know

The TikTok Ban: What You Need to Know

The Supreme Court has refused to stay the execution of a law that, effective January 19th, forces TikTok to be sold to a U.S. company or shut down. This decision reflects the growing concern among U.S. lawmakers regarding the influence of foreign-owned technology companies. Many Americans are reacting strongly to this decision, especially since TikTok’s Chinese parent company, ByteDance, could potentially share user data with the Chinese government. Ironically, users can already find a TikTok clone operated by the Chinese government, which raises questions about the motivations behind the ban.
The Rise of TikTok
Launched in 2016, TikTok is a foreign-owned tech platform that has gained immense popularity, boasting over 1.5 billion active users worldwide, including approximately 150 million Americans. Many users have found their livelihoods on the platform, creating short films that have become a cornerstone of their careers. TikTok creators argue that other social media platforms do not provide the same organic reach and collaborative tools that TikTok offers. They often state, “They have posted the same content on other platforms for years, but only TikTok has fostered their communities and allowed them to reach broad audiences.”
The Generational Divide
Members of Congress, most of whom did not grow up with social media, may struggle to understand the implications of modern technology. The average age of a senator is 64, and for House members, it is 58. This generational gap could contribute to the government’s challenge in addressing the rapidly evolving digital landscape while balancing national security and civil liberties.On April 24, 2024, Congress enacted the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act. This law prohibits the distribution and maintenance of applications controlled by foreign adversaries, identifying China, North Korea, Russia, and Iran as those adversaries. The law specifically targets ByteDance, requiring them to sell TikTok to eliminate “Foreign Adversary Control” within 270 to 360 days. Failure to comply would result in a ban.
Legal Challenges Ahead
Historically, the courts have deferred to the federal government in matters of national security. However, in 2020, the federal courts blocked two executive orders issued by then-President Donald Trump attempting to ban TikTok. Therefore, many legal commentators believe the new law’s constitutionality is questionable. TikTok and a group of its users have once again sued the government, arguing that the Act is an unconstitutional intrusion on free speech rights, stating, “By banning all online platforms and software applications offered by TikTok and all ByteDance subsidiaries, Congress has made a law curtailing massive amounts of protected speech.”TikTok contends that it is an American company headquartered in Culver City, California, thus entitled to First Amendment rights. TikTok argues that courts should apply strict scrutiny when reviewing such laws. This standard requires the government to demonstrate that the law is the least restrictive means of advancing a compelling governmental interest—a challenging task, especially concerning fundamental rights like freedom of speech.
The Government’s Stance
The U.S. government, on the other hand, argues that the Act does not implicate the First Amendment at all, asserting that TikTok’s status as a subsidiary of ByteDance disqualifies it from free speech protections. The government claims that American users remain free to express themselves on other platforms and would continue to have that freedom even if TikTok divests.The litigation progressed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, which upheld the constitutionality of the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act. The court concluded that the Act implicates the First Amendment and is subject to heightened scrutiny, potentially applying either strict or intermediate scrutiny.The Court of Appeals affirmed that the government has compelling national security interests and justified the need for the Act. They acknowledged that laws targeting specific speech are presumptively unconstitutional, yet determined that China poses a “hybrid commercial threat” due to its data collection laws.
Ongoing Debate on Data Privacy
TikTok challenged the government’s justifications, arguing that if data collection is indeed a national security threat, Congress should enact a data privacy law that would apply to all tech companies, not just TikTok. While the court recognized that the Act does not fully address the data collection risks posed by the PRC, it argued that it was still a step in the right direction.The court also dismissed TikTok’s suggestions of less restrictive alternatives, maintaining that the secret manipulation of content on TikTok by the Chinese government poses a grave threat to national security. The court contended that no amount of government speech could mitigate the risk of content manipulation as effectively as divestiture.
Conclusion
As the legal battle over TikTok continues, the implications of this case extend beyond the platform itself. The intersection of technology, national security, and free speech rights invites a broader discussion about how we regulate digital spaces in a globalized world. The ongoing developments will undoubtedly shape the future of social media in America and the legal frameworks surrounding it.

Apple, Google, Meta questioned over donations to Trump

Apple, Google, Meta questioned over donations to Trump

It looks like tech giants like Apple, Google, and Meta are among some companies facing scrutiny by US lawmakers over their generous donations to US President Donald Trump’s inauguration fund. US Senators Elizabeth Warren and Michael Bennet have sent letters to Apple, Google, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, OpenAI, and Uber demanding answers regarding its recent donations.
Generous, personal donations
Over the past few weeks, the companies mentioned above and some of their CEOs have made massive donations to Trump’s inauguration fund. This involved donations amounting to $1 million each. In some cases, like Apple, OpenAI, and Uber, its CEOs made those donations personally.
Companies donating to a President’s inauguration isn’t new. However, what caught the attention of these lawmakers was the amount that was donated. For context, when Joe Biden became President, the amount that these companies donated paled in comparison to how much they donated to Trump.
According to FCC filings, Uber donated $1 million, while Microsoft donated $500,000. Google donated $337,500, while Amazon donated $276,509. Apple donated a paltry $43,200, while Meta and OpenAI didn’t donate anything at all. So far, none of the companies have responded to the letter, except for OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman, who seemed to take offense to these accusations in a post on X.
The Senators have given the companies until the 30th of January to respond.
Ulterior motives
Unsurprisingly, these companies and their CEOs are being pressed to answer questions about their donations to Trump. With Trump being the new President of the United States, he has a lot of control and say over what goes on in the country. This includes decisions over taxes, import or export restrictions, and more.
In fact, the recent restoration of TikTok’s services following Trump’s intervention is a perfect example of that. Deepwater Asset Management analyst, Gene Munster previously reported that companies like Apple could benefit from Trump taking office. During his campaign, Trump said that he would enact a protectionist approach to the US economy. This basically involved imposing tariffs on imports from China.
This would affect many companies, such as Apple, which relies heavily on China to manufacture its products. However, Munster suggested that Trump could spare companies like Apple and Tesla from paying the higher end of these tariffs. This is why Senators Warren and Bennet are concerned that these donations might be a way to curry favor. It would also allow these companies to avoid regulations that could hurt their bottom line.

Ransomware attack forces Brit high school to shut doors • The Register

Ransomware attack forces Brit high school to shut doors • The Register

A UK high school will have to close for at least two days, today and tomorrow, after becoming the latest public-sector victim of ransomware criminals.
Blacon High School in the historic city of Chester, in north west England, said yesterday the attack hit on January 17, and didn’t rule out having to shut its doors to students for additional days this week.
Students have not been given the day off, however. Teachers set work for them to complete on Google Classroom over the two days, although they can still visit the school to collect lunch.

No ransomware crew has claimed responsibility for the attack at the time of writing, and the school is unwilling to comment on whether any data was compromised as a result of the incident.

“We have an independent cybersecurity company working in school to understand exactly what has happened,” headteacher Rachel Hudson said in a statement. “Until this is completed, I will not be able to provide any further details on any potential data breach.”
Many of the school’s IT systems are down, although Hudson said senior staff are working to create systems that will enable operations to continue.

Phone lines are also down, but a temporary number has been established if needed, and additional communication about the incident will be posted to the school’s website and social media pages. Parents will also be contacted directly through the Parent Pay platform.
“I will update you as soon as we know more and will aim to open once again to students as soon as we can,” Hudson said. “In the meantime, I ask for your support in helping students to complete work at home, especially for Year 11. Thank you for your patience and understanding at this time.”
The attack on Blacon High School is the second major ransomware attack on the UK’s public sector in a week after the Medusa gang hit Gateshead Council two days earlier on January 15.

Unlike with the school, the criminals behind the council attack wasted no time in plastering their data leak site with stolen data. Medusa posted 31 pages and screenshots of stolen files, revealing personally identifiable information (PII) belonging to council residents and staff.
It also set a $600,000 ransom demand for the “deletion” of the council’s data. Although cybercriminals typically make promises such as these, the prevailing belief among experts is that they are rarely honored.
Hudson said: “Unfortunately, cyberattacks like this are happening more frequently despite having the latest security measures in place. This has sadly been experienced by the NHS, National Rail, other public sector departments, and schools.”
The NHS was battered by ransomware last year. The attack on pathology services provider Synnovis over summer caused the most disruption, affecting thousands of appointments and procedures at major London hospitals.
Then, in late November, INC Ransom pounced on Liverpool’s Alder Hey – northern England’s premier children’s hospital – days after an unconnected strike on neighboring NHS hospitals in Wirral.
The news in Blacon also came in the same week as the UK government officially considering a total ban on ransom payments made by public sector and critical national infrastructure (CNI) organizations.

It’s one of three proposals being explored over the next 11 weeks. Another approach being examined is to take the public sector ban a step further and require the biggest private sector organizations to apply for a payment license from the government.
The details are still being fleshed out but given the UK’s close political ties to Australia, which recently adopted a similar rule in its Cyber Security Act, the UK may take after its Oceanic cousin and apply the rule to companies that meet a revenue threshold.
Public sector IT overhaul
While Blacon High School hasn’t detailed the root cause of the ransomware attack, UK public sector organizations don’t genrally have the same financial muscle as commercial businesses to spend on cyber defenses.
The government plans to release a report on January 21 outlining the impact of archaic technology on the public sector. The report will examine matters such as productivity and public satisfaction with services, but also how outdated tech is contributing to the growing threat of cyberattacks.
The technology used by central government alone was found to be outdated in around 25 percent of cases, on average, while the worst cases saw this rise to 70 percent. The report will also say that a growing number of these antiquated systems are “red-rated” for security risk. For the UK’s perpetually underfunded state schools, the position of security is likely to be worse.
Jake Moore, global cybersecurity advisor at ESET, said “Schools and other local government agencies often lack funding and consequently may not have the best protection for their systems which makes them soft targets.
“Schools frequently suffer from a lack in funding which can result in weaker network protection and the use of older systems, inadvertently making them susceptible to multiple cyberattacks.
He added: “There are now endless examples of educational systems and councils being struck in similar attacks and often there can be weeks of disruption which causes a knock-on effect to the wider community.”
Following the publication of the government’s report on archaic tech tomorrow, sweeping reforms are expected to be announced, with the implementation of these led by the Government Digital Service (GDS), which is set to be given more powers. ®

Your phone could soon tell you when your earbuds are charged and ready to go (APK teardown)

google pixel buds pro 2 in case next to pixel 9 pro 1

Rita El Khoury / Android AuthorityTL;DR

Google is working on a new feature to alert users when their earbuds case is fully charged.
New strings related to the upcoming feature suggest it could work with all Fast Pair-enabled earbuds.

Android already has a feature that notifies you when your Fast Pair-enabled earbuds and charging case are running low on battery. Google is now working on a similar feature that will let you know when your earbuds are fully charged.
You’re reading an Authority Insights story on Android Authority. Discover Authority Insights for more exclusive reports, app teardowns, leaks, and in-depth tech coverage you won’t find anywhere else.
An APK teardown helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release.
Late last year, Google rolled out a handy feature for Pixel Watch users that pushes a notification when a connected watch reaches 100% charge. New strings spotted in a teardown of Google Play Services version 25.03.32 beta suggest that the company could soon bring similar functionality to Fast Pair-enabled earbuds, alerting users when their charging case is fully charged.
CodeCopy Text<string name=”fast_pair_headset_case_fully_charged_title”>Fully charged • %1$s</string>
The feature is still a work in progress, and we couldn’t enable it in the current release. However, it’s safe to assume it will function like the fully charged notification for the Pixel Watch. Users should see a notification on their phones when their earbuds charging case reaches 100% charge, and the notification should disappear automatically once the case is disconnected from the charger.It’s worth pointing out that since Google is implementing this feature through Play Services, it should work with all Fast Pair-enabled earbuds and not just the company’s Pixel Buds lineup. In the case of the Pixel Watch, the company implemented the fully charged notification through the Google Pixel Watch app, making it exclusive to its smartwatch lineup. We’ll have to wait until the rollout for confirmation, though.
