9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-11-01 08:35:53

Apple’s commitment to end-to-end encryption is so strong that it withdrew a key privacy feature from the UK market rather than be forced to compromise it globally. The company also faced pressure on this front from the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA). In a surprising twist, the White House came out in support of strong encryption, and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is now urging Apple and other tech giants to stand firm on the issue … The US’s changing narrative on strong encryption I des

New Galaxy S26 Edge battery leak keeps piling on the bad news

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-01 09:31:36

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A Chinese regulatory filing suggests that the Galaxy S26 Edge could have a smaller battery than previously rumored. The listing hints at a 4,200mAh battery rather than a 4,400mAh battery. This would still be an improvement over the Galaxy S25 Edge. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge might be the most polarizing Android phone of 2025. The device has a very slim and light design, but this form factor comes at the expense of battery life.
