In under 18 months, my iPhone's battery life has gone from great to terrible

zdnet.com Adrian Kingsley-Hughes 2025-10-24 18:00:17

Adrian Kingsley-Hughes/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways My iPhone is less than 18 months old. It now cannot make it through a day without a recharge. Nothing appears abnormal in the settings. Rather than do my usual and upgrade my iPhone again last year with only about a year on the clock, I decided to try what most people end up having to do -- keep it going for a few years. Apple says that the battery is designed to retain 80% of its orig

This blog is running on a recycled Google Pixel 5 If you glance over this blog, you will see that I am an avid Android fan.

Google critics think the search remedies ruling is a total whiff

theverge.com Jay Peters 2025-10-24 16:06:24

Today’s ruling is a reminder of Google’s sweeping power over the online economy, but the limited remedies ordered by the court demonstrate why we need additional rules of the road for Big Tech. That’s why we must pass my bipartisan American Innovation and Choice Online Act to stop dominant platforms like Google from continuing to unfairly preference their own products over competitors’ — which hurts consumers and entrepreneurs, and stifles innovation. Through three administrations, our antitrust

Google is changing how Extra Dim works on the Pixel 10, and it’s so much better

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-24 18:56:55

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR The new Pixel 10 series integrates the “Extra Dim” feature directly into the main brightness slider, making it easier to access. This removes the need for a separate toggle, as Extra Dim now automatically activates when the brightness slider is at its minimum. While the feature was tested on older Pixels, it is currently exclusive to the Pixel 10, though it may come to other devices later. Google’s new Pixel 10 series introduces some surprise display upgr

After 10 generations of Pixels, Google's phones have never been more like the iPhone, and we mean that both as a compliment and a gentle criticism. For people who miss the days of low-cost, tinkering-friendly Nexus phones, Google's vision is moving ever further away from that, but the attention to detail and overall polish of the Pixel experience continue with the Pixel 10, 10 Pro, and 10 Pro XL.
