This is the Daily Tech News for Friday, October 24th, 2025. We tell you what you need to know.

Follow up in a context of those stories and help each other understand. Today, ultra slim and

light phones are dropping like flies. Oh, no. All over. That sounds dangerous. I'm Jason Howell.

I'm Win Whitow. Let's start with what you need to know with the big story.

Yeah, so I would say today's big story isn't big in the sense that everybody's talking about it, but it's big in my mind just from a curiosity standpoint.

Earlier this week, Tom and Sarah briefly mentioned on this show that Nikai's supply chain sources are claiming

that Apple is drastically cutting orders for the iPhone Air to 10% compared to September.

Now, we have notable Apple analyst Ming Chi Kuo also sharing the demand for the slim and light iPhone, by most suppliers,

they're reducing their capacity by more than 80% by the first quarter of 2026. Some components

expected to be discontinued by the end of this year. So major change there.

And so I read this and then I remembered like we actually just talked about on Android

Faithful reports from last week that Samsung has canceled reportedly, of course.

You know, this is behind the scenes stuff.

So not confirmed at this point, but canceled the Galaxy S26 edge, which would be the follow-up to the S-25 edge that came out for the first version of it this year.

A swift reversal, I would say, in its plans to try and carve out a new variant for its S-26 lineup.

And now we have a report by reputable Leaker Ice Universe, pretty reputable, I'd say,

sharing that the Galaxy S-26 series, the whole series might actually get its release date pushed

by a few months to March of next year. Other leakers also pointing to a similar prediction.

Some of those reports are suggesting that the cancellation of the Edge series could at least be a piece of the puzzle. And so I guess

the big question that I have about this is how do two major companies who are pretty good

track records, I'd say, at getting some of these things right?

And granted, you can't get everything right.
