Even the most capable and flagship phones often struggle to last from morning to night once streaming, gaming and constant scrolling are added to the mix. While faster charging has reduced downtime, it has not solved the underlying issue of high power consumption. In this article, we explore some smarter settings for your Android smartphones, and a few habit changes that can still deliver meaningful gains in daily battery life.

2+ hour, 1+ min ago (370+ words) Apple's long-rumoured foldable iPhone may not reach users as quickly as expected, even if the company unveils it next year. According to well-known Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, development delays and manufacturing challenges could push meaningful availability of the iPhone Fold closer to 2027. Kuo recently shared fresh insights during an appearance on the MacroMicro podcast, followed by a detailed note expanding on Apple's foldable plans. While Apple is still expected to announce its first foldable iPhone in the second half of 2026, Kuo cautions that production timelines are far from smooth. At the heart of the delay are early-stage yield issues and difficulties in scaling up manufacturing. Foldable devices rely on complex components, especially flexible displays and hinges, areas where even established players like Samsung took several generations to stabilise. For Apple, which typically prioritises high-quality mass production, these challenges could significantly…...

3+ hour, 39+ min ago (353+ words) iPhone 17 had launched in India for Rs 82,900 but recently it was mentioned that Apple plans to hike the prices of its base model by up to Rs 7,000. In fact, rumours hinted that the company could make the iPhone 17 price change in December 2025 but now those concerns can be more or less put to rest. The chances of Apple increasing the iPhone 17 price in India has been claimed to be fake news and the company has no plans to hike the iPhone 17 price in the country anytime soon." In fact, the company is having a hard time managing the demand for the base iPhone 17 model in the country and is struggling to supply in time. These trends probably suggested Apple could increase the price to handle the situation." The new iPhone 17 has got reasonable upgrades this year, which includes a 120Hz ProMotion…...

6+ hour, 5+ min ago (200+ words) Since the AirPods Pro 3 launched, there have been complaints from users who have noticed a static-like sound or a crackling issue when using the earbuds, particularly when Active Noise Cancellation is on but no media is playing. Users have also run into strange high-pitched whistling sounds that happen intermittently. We shared the issues back in late October, and despite two subsequent firmware updates, the problems haven't been solved. Apple released "AirPods Pro 3" firmware version 8B25 in November, and firmware version 8B30 on December 10. Feedback from users who have installed the firmware updates indicate that the noise issues have not been addressed. Affected users are hearing static noises with Active Noise Cancellation on, sometimes with media playing and sometimes without. There have also been reports of problems with latency and sound syncing when watching videos. Some "AirPods Pro 3" users have had their AirPods…...

6+ hour, 49+ min ago (575+ words) Apple announced its new iPhone 17 lineup in September at its Awe-Dropping Event, and it was met with much fanfare. After years of playing it safe, the company is once again experimenting with the design of its phones." The iPhone 17 Pro Max sports its most noticeable (and maybe controversial) design change in years. By contrast, its closest competitor, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, retains its signature look. The two flagship phones feature versatile camera setups, plenty of power, and a slew of features. Each will suit a specific type of user." Also: Samsung's Galaxy Z TriFold phone is unlike anything I've ever seen - that's a good thing If you're wondering which of the two Apple or Samsung phones should be your next daily driver, let me break it down for you. Here's how the new Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max compares to the…...

7+ hour, 20+ min ago (389+ words) The OhSnap Snap Grip 5 is fantastic. In 2022, we called a simple magnetic ring from Anker the best MagSafe phone grip, but things have evolved dramatically since then! You can buy two or even three magnetic rings joined at the hip these days to wield your iPhone, recent Pixel, or really any phone if you stick a magnetic case or included mounting ring on the back. But the best I've yet tried are the double-sided $15-$25 Syncwire Magnetic Phone Ring Holder " and, more recently, the $40 OhSnap Snap Grip 5. Unlike the Anker we swore by for years, both are double-sided magnet rings. I don't have to take them off when I plop them on a MagSafe phone charger or car mount. And with them on, I can stick my phone directly to a fridge, filing cabinet, or certain pieces of gym equipment since…...

7+ hour, 35+ min ago (293+ words) As a part of the Android 16 QPR3 beta update that rolled out to Google Pixel phones yesterday, Google has also updated its emoji set to include a few refreshed designs ahead of a larger update to come. Google's emoji design for Android (on Pixel devices) has changed over time with slight variations in design for certain emoji alongside new additions. Google revealed its Unicode 17.0 additions, as detailed by Emojipedia, earlier this year, but the company has also implemented a few altered emoji designs which are now live in Android 16 QPR3 Beta 1. The updated emoji designs for faces include: The changes are, for the most part, relatively minor. The "Face Exhaling" emoji, for instance, gets more of a frontward angle while the "Loudly Crying Face" makes the mouth smaller, falling more in line with Apple's design. Similarly, "Cold Face" ditches the snow on…...
