Apple's Bold Decision Over iPhone 17 Pro Price
With the news that Apple is expected to add $50 to iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro following September's launch, consumers will face a more expensive iPhone, as the Android-based competition keeps pricing steady. Tim Cook and his team will benefit from the idea that premium smartphones, particularly the iPhone, should come with a higher price tag in the future. First, it has to navigate that higher price tag on the iClass of 2025. Sticker Shock With The iPhone 17 Pro The first is the sticker price. Apple is expected to push up the cost of all the iPhone 17 models by $50 compared to the equivalent iPhone 16 models. That stands out compared to the Android-powered competition. Samsung held the price of the Galaxy S25 family when they launched in January this year, from the entry-level Galaxy S25 starting at $799 through to the Galaxy S25 Ultra's $1,299. Google is expected to take a similar approach when it launches the Pixel 10 family on Aug. 20, maintaining price parity of the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL. At first glance, Apple is increasing the cost, making the competition even more attractive. Yet this price increase comes with its own momentum. Apple's approach to the 'what happens with a new phone' argument. The entry-level models are expected to move up from 128 GB of storage to 256 GB of storage. While you will be paying more than last year, you will be getting double the storage... Compare the 256 GB model from last year to this, and you find a $50 saving. The contrast is clear. Android stays the same between 2024 and 2025, while Apple finds a way to make consumers feel good about spending more money on their new smartphone. The Hidden Cost Of The iPhone 17 Pro As with every consumer technology company, Apple is having to deal with the US first sensibilities of Donald Trump. This not only includes increased import tariffs, but also a drive for companies to bring more manufacturing to US soil. Addressing the tariffs in the short term will erode the margins on the iPhone. While the storage has been increased (it would be interesting to see the impact on the wholesale cost of the iPhone bumping from 128 GB to 256 GB), the wholesale cost may not be as much as $50. Apple has given itself extra room to manoeuvre around the tariffs while preserving a significant proportion of its profit margin. Apple is also working to build an end-to-end silicon supply chain in the US. By bringing one of the key components to the US, the various chipsets will no longer be impacted directly by the tariffs. That will take time to come online, and when it does, the component cost will likely be higher than the chipsets currently used. To stay competitive, Apple will need to lift the consumer price tag on its hardware to cover the difference. Setting consumer expectations for a higher price tag on premium phones today would certainly help balance out that equation tomorrow. The iPhone 17 Pro Can Start The Change Apple is looking to drive home a different message than Google and its Android partners. It is setting the market to expect higher pricing on premium smartphones while offering a recognisable step up in specifications year-on-year. That stands in contrast to the Android ecosystem looking to hold steady both in price and core specs. The question now is, which way does the market want to go? Will it support higher pricing on premium devices, or is the market so saturated with features that lower prices are the only way to cut through? Apple is going for the former. Android is going for the latter. It's going to be fascinating to watch if either makes significant inroads on the other.

This is the first thing I set up after pairing my Samsung phone with a Galaxy Watch
Zac Kew-Denniss / Android Authority Samsung smartphones are crammed full of valuable features, from One UI's readymade tools to Good Lock's downloadable bounty. One example that I've taken full advantage of is Modes and Routines. First launched in 2022 as Bixby Routines, the feature allows users to create and initiate a series of settings based on conditions. This allows wide-ranging automatic control of one's phone and, more importantly for Galaxy Watch users, their smartwatches. Suppose you have just purchased a Galaxy Watch 8 series device or are still using one of the older Galaxy Watch models, like I am. In that case, Modes and Routines is the companion tool you should learn to master to bring the Samsung phone and the Samsung watch even closer together. And, if you need a few ideas on how to get started, here are three ways I use it daily. Is your Galaxy Watch paired with a Samsung smartphone? 0 votes Yes, I use a Galaxy Watch paired with a Samsung smartphone. NaN % No, I use a Galaxy Watch, but it's paired with another Android phone. NaN % No, I use a different smartwatch and smartphone setup entirely. NaN % I maximize my Galaxy Watch's battery life Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority My Galaxy Watch 4 is not the spring chicken it once was. Its battery life is a shadow of what it used to be, and even when it was new, it didn't last too long. I use Modes and Routines to boost it when and where I can. More specifically, I've created a mode that enables Power saving when I don't explicitly require my watch's complete feature set. Of course, I don't want this Mode to trigger when I'm exercising, sleeping, or driving, so I ensure that it triggers when I'm at my desk working and is overruled by alternative modes when required. Once I'm done driving, for instance, my watch goes back into power-saving mode. This ensures that it's always in its mode's efficient state without kneecapping its abilities. I've written about this in-depth previously, but here's the recipe: Open the Settings app on your phone, then select Modes and routines. Tap + Add. Give your mode a name and select its icon, then tap Done. Next, tap + When to start this mode. Tap Time period and pick your parameters. Once you're happy, tap Done and Done again. Next, tap + More actions for this mode. Tap Add action. Select Galaxy Watch, then select what you want the mode to address. As mentioned, I set Power saving to On. Once you're happy, tap Done, then Done again. Of course, this will benefit older Galaxy Watch models more than the current, freshly baked lineup, but Galaxy Watch 8 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2025 owners will still see a modest battery bump with this trick. I switch up my watch faces automatically Ryan Haines / Android Authority If you don't have any issues with your battery life but want more visual diversity, you can use a mode to switch or rotate through your installed watch faces. There are two reasons you might want to do this. Firstly, if you own a gaggle of faces you want to put to use, this is a great way to do it. We recently found that Samsung is working on a watch face switching feature, but it's not yet available. Secondly, it's a great way to improve legibility in certain situations. I trigger a specific watch face when driving or exercising, but I also ensure an eye-friendly watch face is in session when I'm in bed. Notably, even if your Modes and Routines list will become convoluted quickly, you can create as many modes dedicated to specific watch faces as you wish. You can decide to trigger them hourly, daily, weekly, or with other modes like mine. Here's how to set it up: Open the Settings app on your phone, then select Modes and routines. Tap + Add. Give your mode a name and select its icon, then tap Done. Next, tap + When to start this mode. Tap Time period and pick your parameters. Once you're happy, tap Done and Done again. Next, navigate to Change appearance and tap Watch face. Select your preferred watch face to use in this period. The watch face you want must be installed to the watch itself before it appears on this list. Once you're happy, tap Done, then Done again. This feature still has plenty of room for improvement. There's no way to select multiple watch faces in a single mode, which restricts its versatility. I suggest experimenting with your favorite faces and the existing modes and determining how you can incorporate the two. I make my watch more useful while driving Andy Walker / Android Authority It's always a good idea to keep both hands on the steering wheel. With Modes and Routines, you can make content on your watch's screen more legible and easier to spy on at a glance. I use the native Driving Mode and set it to trigger when my Samsung phone connects to Android Auto. This enables various items on my Galaxy S24 FE, including mobile data (which is switched off automatically when connected to my home Wi-Fi network) and setting my phone's ring volume a little higher to overcome road and radio noise. I also use this mode to initiate settings on my Galaxy Watch, including: Enabling Always on display Enabling Sound mode Enabling Raise wrist to wake Selecting a more legible watch face, preferably one with a larger font If Modes and Routines allowed, I'd also trigger Hourly chime to sound while driving. This would make keeping track of the current time a little easier. Unfortunately, this isn't an option at the time of this writing. Beyond the exclusive fitness and health tracking features, Modes and Routines is perhaps the best reason to use a Galaxy Watch with a Samsung smartphone. This little piece of software brings the two products closer together and gives users even more control of integral features. Once you become aware of the potential and master the feature, you'll be rewarded with a highly customized wearable experience, whether you own a brand new Galaxy Watch 8 or an older Galaxy Watch 4. These three Modes help me get the most out of my Galaxy Watch and Galaxy smartphone pairing, but they're by no means the only ways to use Modes and Routines. If there's a particular way you use this tool, let me know in the comments. Follow

iPhone 16 Pro Max Price Slashed Ahead Of Apple iPhone 17 Launch
Unlike Samsung's repeated Galaxy S25 promotions and Google's constant Pixel 9 price drops, Apple discounts are rare, which is why Amazon's latest iPhone 16 deal is worth taking a look at. The retailer has slashed the price of all current iPhone 16 models in the U.K., including the iPhone 16e, a month before the iPhone 17 lands. They're not the most dramatic price drops, particularly when they're compared to Samsung's latest free Galaxy Watch 7 deal. But Apple fans will be happy to see any sort of discount for the resolutely expensive iPhone. These are obviously not huge discounts, but it is rare to see an unlocked, current-generation iPhone prices cut by more than this. Some extra money can be saved via Amazon's trade-in platform, which lets you trade in more than one device at a time. The used-phone valuations are almost competitive, which is an improvement on the paltry prices the company has offered in previous sales. Here's a selection of trade-in valuations against Samsung and Apple's current pricing. So the first thing is that Apple U.K. only accepts iPhones for trade-in. But the U.S. site has the Galaxy S22 Ultra priced at $160 (£118) and the Galaxy S23 Ultra at $250 (£185), both less than Samsung and Amazon's respective offers. Apple's trade-in pricing matches Samsung's numbers, which isn't a surprise considering they're in direct competition. But Amazon's prices remain significantly below those of Apple and Samsung. That is the price you pay for a cheaper upfront device. Apple Weighs Price Rises For The iPhone 17 There is a decent chance that the iPhone 17 series will be more expensive at launch than the iPhone 16 lineup was. A report from The Wall Street Journal in May stated that Apple was considering increasing prices to offset proposed trade tariffs with China, where the bulk of iPhone manufacturing happens. These price rises would be blamed on new features, with Apple weary of directly blaming any increases on tariffs. More recent rumours suggest that a $50 price hike is likely for the iPhone 17 Pro option, as my colleague David Phelan explains. 'Regular leaker Instant Digital has claimed, in a post spotted by MacRumors, that the next iPhone 17 Pro will cost $50 more than it does now. This chimes with previous reports that every iPhone will see a $50 price increase compared to current counterparts.' That $50 could be covered by raising the iPhone 16 Pro's base storage model to 256GB, up from 128GB. Doing this, though, could result in an effective price cut, as MacRumours explains. 'It's possible that Apple could increase the iPhone 17 Pro's base storage to 256GB, bringing it in line with the Pro Max, to help justify its $50 price increase. That would represent an effective price cut of $50 over today's iPhone 16 Pro with 256GB of storage and help to simplify the lineup.'
