An Old Iphone Can Outperform The Samsung Galaxy S22

And sometimes benchmarks can be quite unbelievable. This is how I feel about the recent benchmarks for Samsung’s newest flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S22. Now, we’ve already seen benchmarks that show that the Galaxy S22 Ultra and S22+ outpaces all other Android smartphones but is still beaten by the A15 chip in the iPhone 13 Pro Max. But it gets worse. A lot worse. Another benchmark has emerged that shows the Exynos 2200 chip present in some versions of the Galaxy S22 being outperformed by the A13 Bionic chip that powers the iPhone 11 and the current-generation iPhone SE....

Apple Stop Charging My Batteries To 100

The idea behind this feature is that it reduces battery wear by temporarily limiting the maximum battery charge limit to 80 percent and only adding the final 20 percent in time for you to wake up in the morning and start using your iPhone. How does it know when to add that final 20 percent? On-device machine learning. Pretty smart. The technology was later added to MacBooks, Apple Watch, and even the AirPods (interestingly, it was never added to the iPad or the iPod touch)....

Apple Releases Tracker Detect Android App To Identify Airtags Other Find My Enabled Trackers

The potential for AirTags and similar devices to be used to track and locate unsuspecting people raised privacy concerns when AirTags was first released.
