‘iOS 18.5 Battery Drain' Trend Explained Amid New iPhone Update Rollout
Apple iPhone users are complaining about the iOS 18.5 battery drain after installing the new update. The latest version of iOS started rolling out on May 12. While the new update does not bring any major changes, Apple has addressed several security fixes and introduced a cool new feature regarding Back Tap, among other things. Amid concerns of battery drain due to the latest update, users are resorting to some tried and tested hacks to solve the issue. Several iPhone users have noticed a significant battery drain due to their iOS 18.5 update. As per Apple, the new update mainly focuses on some of the security fixes, including improving a core Bluetooth issue and unexpected app terminations. Speaking of the battery drain after the iOS 18.5 update, an Apple user shared on X (formerly Twitter), 'A week after the iOS 18.5 update my battery started to drain faster from 7 minutes every 1 percent of battery to 6 percent of battery.' Another user claimed, 'When I updated to iOS 18.5 [on] both of my phones it seems it drained my battery from 87% to 83%. [I don't know] if that was normal but minutes later it stop draining to quick on my iphone 15 pro max but my 16 pro max drain a little slow after the update.' A third user complained on Reddit, 'Horrible, I even charged it up to 91%, haven't used it much, and I'm down to 56% 5 hours later.' While the battery drain seems to be an existing issue for iOS updates, there are some quick fixes shared by fans that users can perhaps try and follow to resolve the problem. A Redditor shared the hack, 'I must admit turning off APPLE AI BETA SOLVES 65% of the problem.' Meanwhile, iPhone's newest iOS update comes with some intriguing features. Users can now upgrade their Back Tap feature. With iOS 18.5, users can get an alert when they have turned on the Back Tap. The alert will also reveal the number of back taps one has triggered, which can help them create new shortcuts for different numbers of back taps.

How AI-powered Samsung technology is creating homes that are wonder-filled
This is sponsored content for Samsung Australia. Running a household takes up headspace - and in the busiest times of our lives, this demand can quietly pile onto our mental load. Whether you enjoy the satisfaction of doing the chores or would much prefer to kick your feet up on the couch and watch an episode of your favourite TV show, Samsung research reveals that 68 per cent of Australians think about household chores up to four times a day. [1] That's more mental airtime than most New Year's resolutions. The research found that, 83 per cent said they would rather be relaxing in front of the TV, listening to music (61 per cent), or spending time with loved ones (60 per cent). [2] In response to this desire to spend less time maintaining the home and more time on the things that matter, Samsung continues to pioneer AI-powered innovations designed to make everyday living smarter, easier, and more enjoyable. Below, we list four innovations from Samsung's 2025 home appliance and audio visual solutions line-up that represent the next leap forward in Samsung's vision to simplify Australian home life with AI and save Australians time every day - so that household maintenance can be a passing thought, not an intrusive one. Beyond its line-up of smart TVs, in 2025 Samsung has brought its advanced screen technology to a wider range of products including refrigerators, washing machines and more. In particular, the 809L Bespoke AI Family Hub™+ Refrigerator features a 32-inch display that transforms the fridge into a central smart home control hub with the ability to connect, monitor and control compatible third party devices connected through SmartThings's Map View feature. [3] This could mean connecting your fridge to your smart phone to receive calls via Bluetooth or by connecting to your front door camera to greet your guests when they come over for dinner. [4] The 809L Bespoke AI Family Hub™+ Refrigerator can do all sorts of fancy things, such as recognise up to 33 items in your fridge to help you prepare a food list, get recipe suggestions and even manage 'use by dates' by manually setting a date corresponding to the food item. Simply making dinner for one? Users can turn on the 32-inch screen and stream their favourite TV shows and movies while they prepare their meal. Via the AI Home screens, Australians can also use features like the refrigerators' Daily Board to receive personalised information and better manage their day ahead. If you're looking for something a little smaller, the 615L AI Home Side By Side Refrigerator features a 9-inch AI Home screen that manages smart devices in one place, provides access to apps and personalised information and has an Auto Open Door for convenience. [5] By offering a diverse selection of products with varying screen sizes, Samsung aims to enhance usability for consumers while also realising an interconnected smart home. Samsung Vision AI represents the next step in Samsung's journey to deliver intelligent, intuitive and seamless screen experiences. It enables TVs to become smart companions that enhance entertainment and seamlessly integrate into connected lifestyles. This is shown in the Neo QLED 8K QN990F and Neo QLED 4K TV which adapt their brightness and sound based on ambient conditions. This makes the cinematic viewing experience dynamic and spectacular. Similarly, the Q-Series soundbars, like the HW-Q990F and HW-QS700F, use AI-optimised sound to deliver immersive audio tailored to the surrounding environment. This expansion underscores Samsung's commitment to bringing adaptive and intelligent screens to more users, redefining the modern home experience. Samsung's commitment to smarter living doesn't stop at convenience - it extends to security and peace of mind. At the heart of this is AI Home, underpinned by Samsung's Knox Security for robust data protection. With an expanding SmartThings ecosystem, Samsung enables your devices to work together for a more secure and connected home. For instance, if suspicious activity is detected while you're out, the Bespoke Jet Bot Combo™ AI automatically moves to investigate using its built-in camera, sending real-time video to your Galaxy smartphone for instant monitoring and control. Samsung also enables Galaxy devices and home appliances to access 3D Map View, to oversee and manage your entire smart home from anywhere, at any time. The result? A connected ecosystem that adapts your lifestyle - keeping you informed, entertained and protected. Samsung's AI-powered TVs and home appliances are built to help lighten the mental load - turning routine household tasks into smooth, automated experiences. Whether it's intelligent fridges or Smart TVs, each product is designed to give Australians what they crave most: more time to focus on what they love. It also begs the question: How would you spend your time if you had more of it? [1] Nature Research, CE One insights commissioned by Samsung Australia, April 2025.

Tile trackers are being fully integrated into Life360
Tile trackers are getting more deeply integrated with the Life360 app. In a blog post published this week, Life360 announced that you'll now be able to set up and manage the handy Bluetooth location trackers without using the Tile app at all. Life360, a family safety and location app, purchased Tile's Bluetooth device-tracking business for $205 million in 2022. Since then, Tiles have been part of the Life360 app, allowing you to track the location of both people and items in one app, but you still needed to use the Tile app to set up the tracking devices. As part of the transition, the Life360 app will get some of the Tile app's features, including sending an automatic push notification if you leave an item behind and the ability to see location history for Tile-tracked items. The move seems aimed at pushing Tile's users toward the Life360 app. The company told TechCrunch that the Tile app is not being retired 'at this time,' but that's not surprising, as it's likely to take a while to move customers to the new app. Considering that as of last month, the domain now redirects to the Tile app's days feel numbered. As part of the update, Life360 is also reorganizing its paid plans, adding the SOS Alerts feature that lets you call 911 by triple-tapping on a compatible Tile to its $7.99 a month Silver membership, along with seven days of location history. SOS Alerts were previously only available with the $14.99 a month Gold plan, which also allows for 30 days of location history. You can use Life360 for free to track both people and items, but you only see 2 days of location history. Life360 is a location app designed for families. Similar to Apple's Find My app, it allows authorized members of a 'Circle' to see each other's real-time locations in the app. Each member has control over whether the app shares their location, as well as how precise a view of their location other members have at any time. The service can send alerts to members of your circle when you arrive somewhere, leave somewhere, and when your flight lands. It essentially does away with all those 'text me when you get there' requests from parents and family members. Life360 offers more than just location services. It styles itself as an overall family safety app and has features such as crash detection and roadside assistance. Its paid plans also include driver reports, which show phone usage, top speed, and hard braking data. Families with teens who are tempted by this service may want to consider exactly how that data is shared before signing up for it.
