Samsung hasn’t officially unveiled the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra yet. However, that hasn’t stopped luxury customisation company Caviar from putting its own version up for sale.

Last week, we looked at some iPhone 17e and 17 Pro Max discounts – now let’s have a peek at a different model, the iPhone Air. The phone is one of the thinnest around, measuring 5.6mm and weighing only 165g. It has a titanium frame to keep it tough despite its slender build. The phone has the powerful Apple A19 Pro chipset and a 6.5” LTPO display.
