A brand-new iPhone can easily last all day, but that wanes over time as parts age. But newer software takes its toll too, as the latest iOS 18 software and apps, including Apple Intelligence AI, can drain them quickly. Shooting photos and videos, playing games and watching shows and movies can deplete the battery, too. But before you consider buying a new Apple phone, like the new iPhone 16 or the more affordable iPhone 16E, give these battery hacks a try to make your long-lived iPhone a bit mor

Google’s Pixel 10 series is widely expected to be the first with processors manufactured by TSMC instead of Samsung. This is a good thing in theory as TSMC-made chips have historically been more efficient than Samsung-manufactured silicon. It also sounds like this could be a long-term arrangement that lasts until the Pixel 14 series . This all got me wondering what people really want from the Pixel 10’s processor.
