Here We Go is the non-Google map app I didn’t know I needed

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-25 14:00:37

Nathan Drescher / Android Authority Earlier this year, I started to become concerned about how much of my personal life was tied to the big tech companies, especially my Google account.

I don't know anyone who's satisfied with their phone's battery life. We always want more power so we don't wind up with a tapped-out phone at the end of the day or the need to carry a portable charger everywhere. So I'm very curious to see how Adaptive Power affects iPhone battery life when iOS 26 is released, likely soon after the iPhone 17 is announced at Apple's Sept. 9 fall event. Currently, the iPhone uses as much power as it needs to perform its tasks. You can extend the battery life by d
