Apple releases iOS 15.4.1 and iPadOS 15.4.1 to fix battery drain issues

Today Apple is releasing a new round of software updates for its mobile devices. This includes iOS 15.4.1 for all supported iPhones, as well as iPadOS 15.4.1 for all supported tablets. As the number incrementation strongly implies, this is a minor release that doesn't bring any new features. It does, however, purport to improve something that we'd wager is incredibly important for most people: battery life. That's because the release notes mention that upon installation of this update, your iPhone or iPad will fix the battery drain issues that were apparently introduced with the release of...

Google Pixel 6a retail box allegedly leaks showing new Pixel 6-like design

Google is widely expected to announce the Pixel 6a during its I/O conference taking place this May. The 6a will of course be the company's next installment in its affordable smartphone line, following on from the 5a launched last year. Today an unverified source brings us the image you can see below, which obviously claims to portray the retail box for the upcoming Google Pixel 6a. And if this is real, which is a big if, then it seems like Google is looking to unify its design language across its smartphone range, as the Pixel 6a sports a distinctly Pixel 6-like look, and doesn't resemble...

Instead of an official look at the phone, here is a leaked image. The M53 looks quite different from the Galaxy A53 5G, the design language matches the Galaxy M33 instead with a square quad camera bump in the corner and an LED flash below.

Instagram gets its chronological feed back, but there's no way to make it the default

For all haters of algorithmic feeds in social networking apps, today is a big day. That's because Instagram just announced it's bringing back the chronological feed. The new version of the app has two optional feeds, which you can get to by tapping on the Instagram logo at the top. The first is called Following, and this is the chronological feed of every post from every account you follow, while the other one is called Favorites and is pretty self-explanatory. You can add up to 50 accounts as your favorites, and when choosing this feed you'll only see their posts - also sorted...

Samsung possibly readying a third foldable line for this year

So far, Samsung is maintaining two foldable lineups in the Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip. This year we expect the Z Fold4 and the Z Flip4 but a report from Galaxy Club suggests that there might be a third foldable in the pipeline. That's because there are three codenames for foldables being thrown around - B4, Q4 and N4. Since last year's names for the Z Flip3 and the Z Fold3 were B3 and Q3, it's probably safe to assume that the N4 codename belongs to an entirely different foldable handset. The leak also reads that Samsung won't be producing it in such large quantities as the other two...

Starting Tuesday, all Instagram users in the US can begin tagging brands’ products in their posts. Previously, this was only available to creator or business accounts. “Over the next few months” the feature will roll out to everyone. Over the last few years, Instagram has gradually shifted towards selling products right from within the app and the latest update may make it more so that users can more easily identify products featured in photos and video posts, as well as stories. The app plans to eventually add Reels into the mix. To tag a product, you’ll first need to tag...

Motorola's newest flagship smartphone has three names: Edge X30 in China, Edge 30 Pro globally, and Edge+ in North America.

Xiaomi 12 Ultra arrives in May, new rumor claims

The Xiaomi 12 Pro is nice and high-end alright, and it's recently escaped China, but it's definitely no Ultra.

Apparently, the Xiaomi 12 Ultra will be officially announced for the Chinese market in May, and then it will make its way to other countries at some point after that. This is a redo of what happened with the rest of the 12 series, basically - revealed in China in December, unveiled for...

Samsung Galaxy S22 in for review

It's finally here - the Galaxy S22 has arrived at the office and we can start work on its review. The smallest S22 flagship took its sweet time this year. It's been plagued by delays in many markets across Europe and some impatient readers have even gone down the conspiracy route - we've heard that we've purposefully forgone an S22 review, but the truth is the Samsung store just took this long to ship our unit. Anyway, here's an unboxing - you get the Galaxy S22 (ours is the Mystic White), a SIM tool, and a USB cable. The box is even smaller this year, which makes Samsung's carbon...

Flashback: Galaxy A80's flip-up camera is still unique in Samsung's line-up

What do you think of the new Galaxy A-series phones that were unveiled earlier this week? Samsung’s mid-range series has its advantages (e.g. flagship-level software support), but it is quite conservative in its design. It’s strange to think that the series is descendant from the ambitious Galaxy Alpha. The series has ventured out to the wild side on occasion – in 2019, for example, with the launch of the Samsung Galaxy A80. Every now and then we hear rumors that there will be a sequel, but none of them panned out. So, let’s have a closer look at this phone that is unique in Samsung’s...

Xiaomi Watch S1 and Watch S1 Active review

Introduction Alongside the global launch of the 12 series, Xiaomi showed the S1 pair of smartwatches that take direct aim at Huawei and Samsung’s lineups. The Xiaomi Watch S1 and Watch S1 Active share their internals and smarts, but they’re very different on the outside and target different people - one is a classy, premium watch, the other is a youthful, sporty watch. The most impressive thing about these smartwatches is the bang-for-buck ratio - both are fast, capable, and look great, and both are cheap compared to their direct competition. The Xiaomi Watch S1 Active is only...

Weekly poll results: iPhone SE (2022) sees little love

The new Apple iPhone SE (2022) was never going to be the most desirable iPhone, but it received a rather cold welcome, whereas its predecessor enjoyed some positive comments. Those can be summed up as “it’s cheap” and “it’s small”. Of course, that was back in 2020 and things have changed since. Starting with the first, the new model costs $430, $30 more than its predecessor. This is without taxes, mind you. In Europe, the new SE starts at €520, you can get some very capable Androids for that kind of cash. If you want to stick with Apple, an iPhone 12 mini costs around the same in some...
