iPhone 17 Pro Max's battery capacity rumored to be larger than its predecessor's
As you may know, that's pretty much been the default capacity for flagship Android devices up until recently, when Chinese brands started using Si/C batteries thus taking them past that limit, while Samsung and Google have been content to stay around the 5,000 mAh mark, for now at least. iPhone 16 Pro Max
Throughout Apple's iPhone Pro Max line, every new generation brought with it a slight increase in battery size, aside from the iPhone 14 Pro Max which actually had an ever so slightly smaller cell than the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max

Samsung starts testing One UI 8 for the Galaxy S24 FE
We recently learned that Samsung started working on Android 16-based One UI 8 for the Galaxy A55, and now we hear that the Korean brand has started testing One UI 8 for the Galaxy S24 FE as well. Samsung Galaxy S24 FE Samsung is testing One UI 8 on the Galaxy S24 FE with firmware version S721BXXU6CYG1/S721BOXM6CYG1/S721BXXU6CYG1, which isn't publicly available yet. And considering how Samsung directly rolled out the stable build of One UI 7 for the S24 FE without releasing an open beta, the smartphone may not be a part of the One UI 8 beta program either. As far as the stable build of One UI 8 for the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE is concerned, we hope it will be released by the end of this year since the smartphone received One UI 7's stable update in April.

Counterpoint: Global smartwatch market continues to decline in Q1 2025
It's not looking great for the smartwatch industry as analysts from Counterpoint have recorded a fifth consecutive quarter of decline with 2% year-on-year slip. However, China is experiencing a surge in smartwatch shipments, with a whopping 37% year-on-year growth. Experts point out two major reasons for the global smartwatch market decline. The first is the waning of Apple smartwatch sales, accompanied by a significant and persistent deceleration in India's once-booming smartwatch market. Still, Apple retains the top spot with 20% global share, while recording 9% decline in shipments. Apple is followed by Huawei, which grew 53%, and so did Xiaomi, from 6% last year to 10%, recording the same 53% growth as Huawei. Samsung lost nearly 23% of its market share year-over-year, dropping from 9% to 7% of the global share. Consumer preferences are seeing notable changes as people are looking for more expensive and feature-rich devices. The $100-$200 segment experienced a 21% growth, while the sub-$100 category saw a 17% decline in shipments. Looking ahead, Counterpoint believes that the smartwatch market will see a modest uptick in sales by the end of 2025, with around 3% growth. Source

Major iPhone 2025 battery capacity leak will have you drooling over one model
The upcoming iPhone 17 series is rapidly moving closer to its expected unveiling in September. It's hard to believe but we are only two months away from Apple introducing its latest iPhone models, including the ultra-slim unit dubbed the iPhone 17 Air. Yeah, that's exciting for some. But there are others like me who would prefer that a new top-of-the-line iPhone 17 Pro Max feature a little more heft and girth so that it can include larger batteries. This is exactly what to expect for the iPhone 17 Pro Max , according to a new Weibo post from tipster Instant Digital. He says that the iPhone 17 Pro Max will be equipped with a battery sporting a capacity of approximately 5000 mAh. This would make it the largest iPhone battery of all time, surpassing the current record holder which would be the 4676 mAh battery powering the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Weibo post from tipster leaks the iPhone 17 Pro Max battery capacity. | Image credit-Weibo A 5000 mAh battery powering the iPhone 17 Pro Max would result in a 7% hike in battery capacity for the most premium of all 2025 iPhone models. Apple has really done the work needed to change how consumers perceive the battery life on the iPhone. You might recall that in 2014, Samsung released a commercial showing iPhone users landing at an airport and immediately looking for places to plug in their iPhones. It's a hilarious ad for the Galaxy S5, and if you haven't watched it, by all means go out and do so now. It gave iPhone users a nickname of "Wallhuggers" that they no longer deserve, thanks to the increase in battery capacity that Apple has bestowed on its most expensive handsets. Yes, the iPhone 17 Pro Max will be thicker and heavier, but most would prefer to carry around a heavier, bulkier phone if it results in longer battery life. If a sleeker, svelte iPhone is your cup of tea, this year brings the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air to the marketplace. With a rumored 2800 mAh battery powering the iPhone 17 Air , choosing the thinnest iPhone model available this year could leave you feeling great holding such a thin handset. However, it could also leave iPhone 17 Air owners wanting when it comes to battery life. If I were to update to a new iPhone model this year, I would stick with the model I always buy-the latest iPhone Pro Max model. And if this device does come with a 5000mAh cell, battery life is going to be tremendous. Of course, I'm still considering the Pixel 10 Pro XL, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, or even the Pixel 9 Pro Fold to save some bucks. Secure your connection now at a bargain price!
