Apple now has 2.35 billion active users

Apple now has 2.35 billion active users, revealed Tim Cook. The CEO stated in an earnings call that Cupertino has reported its best quarter ever. The executive pointed out that Apple Intelligence, powered by Apple chips, was one of the driving forces behind the impressive results. Tim Cook, Apple CEO Looking into the report, sales of iPhones actually declined on a yearly basis, even if it was by 1%, which in turn suggests Apple Intelligence wasn't such a formidable sales booster at all. Still, the 2.35 billion users is the most Apple has ever had. It is 150 million more than the...

Our updated Realme 14 Pro+ battery life results are in

The Realme 14 Pro+ is powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 SoC, runs Android 15-based Realme UI 6.0 out of the box, and has a 6,000 mAh Si/C battery under the hood with 80W charging support. After we posted our Realme 14 Pro+ review, a few of the review commenters got riled up because the battery test results were lower than expected. We already knew the numbers were suspiciously low even before publishing, but we had done our due diligence by retesting everything twice (and even more in some cases). And the numbers rarely lie - in the end, you've got to call it for what it is. In...

Samsung Galaxy S25 comes with satellite messaging but not everyone can use it

Samsung Galaxy S25 phones all come with an overclocked Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, and it even supports satellite messaging. The manufacturer never spoke about the feature due to a limitation: it isn't accessible to everyone. The reason is that Samsung will allow carriers to manage service agreements with satellite operators. Presently, there is only one satellite operator in the open market: Skylo, which only has a partnership with Verizon in the United States. Qualcomm collaborated with satellite operator Iridium; however, Samsung chose to bypass them and requested that the chip...

Predictably, the Pro model came out on top, while the affordable but less capable Lite model didn’t get as much attention. The Honor Magic7 Pro proved quite popular in the polls, but it’s not perfect. Many commenters say that it’s not a large enough upgrade from the Magic6 Pro (and we reached the same conclusion in our review).
