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.

Prakhar Khanna/ZDNET It's been agreed upon by the ZDNET team that the OnePlus 13 is this year's sleeper hit.

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google is developing a new, optional split design for Android’s Quick Settings and notifications panels, separating them into distinct pages. This “separate” view will require swiping from the top right for Quick Settings and top left for notifications, contrasting with the current “combined” view. While the feature’s release is uncertain, it’s actively being developed and might appear in a future Android 16 quarterly update. Google is set to roll out
