Is this our first look at Motorola’s next Moto G Stylus phone?

In a week already filled with leaks, another one has emerged that shows off the Moto G Stylus (2025). This is particularly noteworthy because the last G Stylus model was released only two months ago, so it’s quite early in the process to already see a successor. Alas, here we are.

Compared to the Moto G Stylus (2024) and its leather back, the render of the 2025 model shows a seemingly glossy finish. The design of the phone otherwise looks mostly the same as the current generation. The render shows a dual-camera setup on the back with a flash beside it, but do note that the render isn’t the best quality. You can take a look for yourself below. The stylus also looks to be a slightly different style, but given how blurry the render is, it’s hard to say for sure.

There’s a front camera in the middle of the screen and what looks like volume rockers on the right side of the frame. The bottom and top of the phone aren’t shown, so we can’t say for sure what it will include. With any luck, Motorola will continue to include the 3.5mm headphone jack and expandable storage that the current model comes with.

Unfortunately, that’s where the information stops. No spec sheet came with the image, so we can only make educated guesses for now. The price might be around $450. The 2023 edition was priced close to $500 at launch, while the 2024 model was $400, so aiming for the middle feels like a reasonable estimate.

Between this leak and another recent Motorola leak, the company is gearing up for another announcement. In a year of subpar releases, it’s nice to have a device to look forward to that could carry on the standard set by the Moto G Stylus (2024).

A few months ago, I had an opportunity to try a handful of Motorola smartphones. They look good and even stand out, though the brand seems to be pulling off lazy-Samsung-design stuff with some of its releases. But then, Samsung is doing worse, so there's that bittersweet consolation.

An argument can be made here that Motorola is putting some great phones on the shelf with a premium feel and competitive innards at attractive prices. But it is undeniable that Motorola is not in the best state, at least from the perspective of users who have recently plonked cash to get a Moto smartphone.

This may be our first look at the iPhone 17 Pro’s massive redesign

The iPhone 17 has been the subject of quite a few leaks so far, but we might have just gotten our first look at its redesign. Spoiler alert: it's a big one. If this design is accurate, then Apple has completely shifted the way it positions cameras on the back of devices by opting for a horizontal side-by-side placement that makes the iPhone 17 look a lot like a Pixel device.

The suggested appearance was first leaked on Weibo, then noticed and shared on X by known tipster Jukanlosreve. The post shows what looks to be a frame, said to be part of the iPhone 17 supply chain. According to the Weibo post, the bar places the ultrawide angle lens in the middle to make room for the "front structured light." We assume this means FaceID. The post has been translated from Chinese to English, so a few details were lost in translation.

Apple insider leaks future plans for a significant iPhone spec change

Apple has long followed a strategy of consolidating the hardware supply chain within its own circle. Shifting away from Intel to in-house M-series processors was one of the biggest bets in recent memory. Now, the company is eyeing the same strategy for a critical part that allows iPhones to, well, act like phones.

According to Apple tipster Mark Gurman at Bloomberg, Apple will finally put its own cellular modem inside iPhones and iPads starting next year. The plans will be executed over three years, spanning three generations of modems, as part of a plan to end Apple’s reliance on Qualcomm for the part.
