The demand for the Iron Man limited edition Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge is getting out of hand. First there was the eBay auction about two weeks ago that had a winning bid of $35,600. Now there’s word of an auction in China that saw one of the Iron Man editions of the Galaxy S6 Edge sell for more than $91,000.

The online auction for the Iron Man limited edition Galaxy S6 Edge in question happened on JD.com, China’s second largest e-commerce retailer, according to Android Authority. A total of 92,429 bids thrust the price of the smartphone up to 568,788 yuan, which converts to about $91,638 today. The actual price of the special edition phone is $1,079.

“The popularity of the phone in China was actually predicted, in light of the red on the front and back of the device,” according to BusinessKorea. The publication adds that in China, the number 6 symbolizes good luck. The Iron Man limited edition Galaxy S6 Edge that was sold on JD.com had the serial number 66, which signals a double portion of good luck for whoever owns the phone.

The Iron Man edition Galaxy S6 Edge has the same spec sheet as the regular S6 Edge, though it has a unique color scheme and theme. The packaging offers a nifty unboxing experience, and the wireless charger looks like the superhero’s Arc Reactor.

Samsung released the special edition phone only in South Korea, China, and Hong Kong. Marques Brownlee, Jonathan Morrison, and Unbox Therapy just gave away three Iron Man edition Galaxy S6 Edge smartphones.

Samsung may soon launch an affordable variant of the Galaxy Tab S6

Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite

Samsung may soon introduce a more affordable variant of its flagship Galaxy Tab S6 tablet. A new leak by Android Headlines offers the first look at what is supposedly the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite that the company is expected to unveil in the "next few weeks."

The new midrange tablet will inherit the same metallic design from its more premium sibling and also come bundled with Samsung’s latest-gen S-Pen stylus. Plus, the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite will likely be capable of wirelessly topping up the stylus -- just like the Galaxy Tab S6.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 is just around the corner. We expect it to be announced on January 22 at the Galaxy Unpacked event that's expected to be happening that day, and a new leak further corroborates that information while adding in a few more tidbits we didn't know before.

Tipster Jukanlosreve shared the news on X, citing a "very reliable" source that confirmed the Galaxy S25 will officially be on sale in Korea (and presumably the U.S.) on February 7. In addition, the leaker says the Slim model will also be shown at the Unpacked event.

Is your child safe from inappropriate apps on Apple App Store? A report says no

Apps aimed at children have been available since the inception of the App Store. However, not all apps created for minors are safe to use. This is the main finding of a new survey conducted by two child safety organizations. The report presents the results of a 24-hour research study in which 800 apps were reviewed, and the findings are concerning.

The Heat Initiative and ParentsTogether Action study found that Apple's App Store is a mass distributor of risky and inappropriate apps to children. Many apps have features that put children at risk of sexual abuse and exploitation, low self-esteem and poor body image, disordered eating, exposure to sexual and violent content, and more. Apple claims that the App Store is a safe place for children, but the study found that Apple takes no legal responsibility for the veracity of age ratings.
