Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Apple has said that Samsung’s US factory will make chips for a number of its products, including iPhones. It’s unclear if Apple is referring to its A series chips that are the heart and soul of iPhones. Samsung has historically produced A series chips for Apple, but it’s been a while since anyone but TSMC manufactured iPhone chips. Apple says Samsung’s facility will supply chips that “optimize power and performance of Apple products.” Apple has announce

This $100 discount makes the Motorola Razr 2025 my favorite budget flip phone

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-09 08:42:37

Ryan Haines / Android Authority Motorola Razr (2025) I absolutely love flip phones, mainly because I am a fan of smaller devices. There’s also the novelty factor; these are really cool and always spark conversations. My main issue is that they also tend to be very expensive. Things are changing, though, and there are now very accessible devices with a foldable screen. If I had to spend my hard-earned money, I would go for the Motorola Razr 2025, which is now $599.99 thanks to a $100 discount. B

When Apple unveils the iPhone 17 lineup next month, it seems like we’ll also see a new version of Apple’s first-party protective cases as well. If the latest rumors are true, the iPhone 17 case lineup will take a design cue from the AirPods Pro 2 charging case. It appears Apple is planning to add support for an optional lanyard loop to its official iPhone 17 cases. That’s according to leakers Majin Bu and DuanRui.
