Apple Intelligence’s required iPhone storage in iOS 26 is actually good news

9to5mac.com Ryan Christoffel 2025-09-19 13:00:17

Apple Intelligence is entering its second year, and iOS 26 adds many new and improved AI features. But despite everything new, there’s surprisingly good news for iPhone storage requirements in the new update. Apple Intelligence still has the same 7 GB storage requirement in iOS 26 Last year, Apple Intelligence launched in iOS 18.1 with a selection of features, followed by a steady drip of new additions throughout iOS 18.2 and beyond. One trend I noticed at the time was that those new features

I can’t wait for Samsung and Google to copy this revolutionary iPhone 17 feature

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-24 09:00:37

Joe Maring / Android Authority Every Apple event, be it WWDC or the new iPhone launch, brings me a set of confusing thoughts. There’s a lot of mockery over what Apple has decided to copy innovate and their random announcements that no one asked for (hello, iPhone Air), but also a bit of jealousy-slash-awe at Apple’s pull over the entire phone industry. I see that new front-facing camera, and I know many Android brands are now scrambling to copy it in 2026; it’ll easily be the new gold standard

Reduce bandwidth costs with dm-cache: fast local SSD caching for network storage

How we cut AWS bandwidth costs 95% with dm-cache: fast local SSD caching for network storage The bandwidth billing challenge When deploying infrastructure across multiple AWS availability zones (AZs), bandwidth costs can become a significant operational expense. Some of our Upsun infrastructure spans three AZs for high availability, but this architecture created an unexpected challenge with our Ceph-based storage system.

All of the new phones share one important upgrade you might have missed during Apple's 72-minute livestream, though: they all start at 256GB of storage.

Tesla revamps the Megapack in attempt to reverse its declining storage business

Tesla is updating its utility-scale Megapack batteries as it seeks to stem the decline of its lucrative energy storage business. The new battery product known as Megapack 3, which Tesla revealed late Monday, are a bid to lure utilities and data center developers that are desperate for power.

Will Amazon S3 Vectors kill vector databases or save them?

The Pixel 10 Pro’s free AI Pro plan is a trap, don’t get fooled

Joe Maring / Android Authority The Pixel 10-series is Google’s most aggressive bet on AI yet. Year on year, the company keeps tacking on more AI-first features. From the camera to the notes app and elsewhere, the pitch is clear. This isn’t just another smartphone. Instead, it’s a showcase for how Google’s AI strategy ties directly to its hardware.

If you missed the news, Google has finally ditched the aging UFS 3.1 flash storage type for the far more impressive data speeds of UFS 4.0 and Zoned UFS (ZUFS) technology to improve age-related wear and tear.
