Apple's two failed iPhones in 2025

The interest in the iPhone 17 series is high, particularly for the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max models, which are outselling their predecessors. The iPhone Air has a different tale to tell; sales haven't been great, with reports showing low demand and major production cuts.  In contrast to the heavily publicized flop of the iPhone Air, there hasn't been much info on how the iPhone 16e is doing in sales. Early reports suggested it was doing pretty well, but it seems that wasn't up to Apple's standards.  Sales of the iPhone 16e and iPhone Air aren't meeting Apple's expectations, as per info from leaker Fixed Focus Digital (source in Chinese). While no exact figures were shared, the leaker suggests that Apple's effort to launch a popular, budget-friendly iPhone hasn't succeeded. Even with the challenges, Apple is still set to roll out successors for both models. The iPhone 17e is anticipated to launch on time in spring 2026, whereas the iPhone Air ...

Link Bubble update brings all-out improvement

Nowadays, news, posts and tweets containing all sorts of app updates feed up this high technological era and you just ignore several of them, maybe most of them because sometimes, you could not keep up with them anymore. But this moment, it’s high time that you read further because this may trigger your interest and might help you easily keep up with the trendings in just a pop of a bubble.

Speaking of bubble, a new update has been announced recently by Link Bubble bringing the market air on excitement and anticipation. But for the benefit of those who are not that familiar with the said app, Link Bubble benefits Android users by letting them to load up web pages in a “bubble” that can be seen on top of the existing application like the popular visited Facebook and Twitter. The former examples befit the service of this update since these social networks concentrate on loading external content in a browser window. Also, Link Bubble also works in many conditions, making it a useful tool for browsing websites and several other operations.

The other good news that is worth mentioning is that the update also includes fixing the existing problem Link Bubble users face which is the ability to toggle the bubble from the notification bar. With the update to version 1.3, aside from the added support for Android L, and for mirroring webpage content to Android Wear, users can continue to work in the background even when the bubble is held invisible on screen, the action bypasses the background audio limitations imposed by Google.

The full change log is mentioned below:

NEW Features:
· The update lets Android Wear devices to show text content from a link. In addition, links can be opened or closed on your device through Wear.
· Users have the option to ‘hide’ Link Bubbke through the notification without having fear of discontinuance of access to the app. Thus, the action allows Youtube playback background or similar access.

IMPROVEMENT:

· Better and clearer animation when web content slides on/off screen.
· Able to restore slide-in animation the moment the first link starts to load.
· Add hack that prevents Pocket from showing up when you add links to it.
· When links are sent to external apps while running the L Preview, Link Bubble can be minimized.
· “intercept links from” works suitably for Android 4.4 and below.
· Cookies are now available in Incognito Mode, though cleared at the end of the session.

CHANGE:

· Adjusting the Incognito Mode setting enables the bubbles to open and be reloaded. Tabs from the preceding sessions are no longer automatically restored. A prompt will be displayed right away that requires confirmation to restore the tabs.
· Empties cached web data from time to time.
· Sadly, because of the Android API required for this functionality that is reduced by Google, the “intercept links from” option has been disabled for those running the L Preview

BUG FIX:
· Fix rare issue wherein not a trace of a single tab would appear on screen and pressing the device’s Home button failed to close Link Bubble.
· Update fixes issue pertaining to web contents that fail to slide on screen.
· Fix issue wherein after the Pro trial has finished, the bubble favicon is not updated.
· It fixes the issue wherein “Unable to launch 3rd party application is erroneously showed.

Link Bubble is also being discounted, for a limited time, by 50%, to $2.69 CDN. The Pro version is needed to unlock unlimited tabs, Android Wear support and Article Mode.

By up to 50% discount, to $2.69 CDN, Link Bubble will be available with a discounted price in only a limited time. The Pro version is required to unlock unlimited tabs as well as Android Wear support Article Mode.
