Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max

Galaxy S24 Ultra Andy Boxall / Digital Trends Sorry for using that tired old clickbait headline, but in a roundabout way, it’s true. You genuinely won’t believe that I’m about to tell you something so headbangingly obvious about smartphone batteries. Here we go. I’ve found that when I use my phone less, the battery lasts a lot longer than I expected. I know, shocking! Told you it was going to be hard to believe. But before you get all angry and start writing me emails, I’m not claiming this is some kind of revelation…

Sales of the iPhone began on June 29, 2007, and it completely changed the world of mobile phones. Now, in 2024, we’ve had over 16 years of iPhone releases. In just a few more years, it will be two decades of the iPhone, which is a little crazy to think about. Let’s take a look back at every iPhone release in order, what made them special,…

Galaxy S24 Ultra (left) and iPhone 15 Pro Max Digital Trends Samsung has just released its flagship 2024 smartphone lineup in a surprisingly early Galaxy Unpacked event. While the usual assortment of rumors left us with few doubts about what was coming in the Galaxy S24 lineup overall, the premium Galaxy S24 Ultra is still the most exciting update as it packs in some fascinating changes from last year’s model. While the Galaxy S24 Ultra is perhaps a bit more iterative this year, there’s a lot to like about this model…

Andy Boxall / Digital Trends Everything seems to be more expensive these days, but it has always been a fairly solid and accepted rule that the biggest, most powerful Apple iPhone model — currently the iPhone 15 Pro Max — would be the most expensive non-folding smartphone you could buy, even in its most basic configuration. However, in a continued effort to steal Apple’s thunder — not being content with the 5x optical zoom camera and titanium frame — Samsung has priced the Galaxy S24 Ultra higher than its prequel,…

Mophie Mophie, a brand known for its mobile power accessories, has announced the return of the fan-favorite Juice Pack case for the iPhone at CES 2024. Yes, the Juice Pack is back. Mophie was the first officially Apple-certified battery case maker and has been around since the very first iPhone. Mophie was acquired by Zagg in 2016. It’s gone through a few variations over time, with the Juice Pack Air and Juice Pack Access in 2019, and then it disappeared for a while. It didn’t help that Apple had its own Battery…

Joe Maring / Digital Trends It’s early January. You know what that means, don’t you? We’re curing hangovers from New Year’s Eve parties, committing to a new set of resolutions, and trying to remember how to work after multiple long weekends. For folks in the tech space, it also means that it’s time for the Consumer Electronics Show — better known as CES. CES 2024 is right around the corner, and after covering the event remotely for the past few years, I’m finally going back to cover it in-person — my first time doing…

Nadeem Sarwar / Digital Trends Siri, Apple’s voice assistant, has lived in the shadow of Google Assistant and Amazon’s Alexa for a while. But recently, it proved more useful to me than any of its rivals by helping me out of an impossibly difficult situation. What Siri did was listen and, crucially, hear, — which was something my dad was suddenly unable to do. And then, it communicated important information in a way that saved the day. Mutton Jeff Digital Trends Let me explain. My dad has worn hearing aids for years…

Nadeem Sarwar / Digital Trends Over the past few years, Apple has been leaning more into pushing the pricey “Pro” iPhones as a creative person’s best friend. Some of the marketing claims don’t sound that outlandish. For example, Cinematic Mode really blew my mind, as long as I had stable hands or a gimbal at my disposal. With the iPhone 15 Pro pair, Apple introduced the ability to capture videos in Log format. Log takes a mathematical approach to video capture and editing. But to draw a rough parallel, Log capture is…

The ever-changing landscape of the smartphone industry in India is always surprising. This year, there have been plenty of changes and several newcomers in some segments to make for a very interesting mix of devices for eager buyers to choose from. While most regulars like Xiaomi and Realme have seen a handful of launches in the budget segment, brands like Motorola and Infinix have gone in all guns blazing. Xiaomi has been making headway into the higher end of the budget range and the mid-range instead. The…
