Apple's two failed iPhones in 2025

By
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 ...

AT&T Galaxy S5 G900AUCU2AOA1 No Lollipop Update, still at KitKat

By
AT&T Galaxy S5 SM-N900A users has started receiving an OTA software update to G900AUCU2AOA1.  But only for those Samsung  Galaxy S5 that still runs with the official Android 4.4.2 KitKat G900AUCU2ANG3, I mean not rooted and modified.  While looking at the software build G900AUCU2AOA1, just looks so deceiving and much likely an Android 5.0 Lollipop update just like the ones what Verizon released the Android 5.0 Lollipop build G900VVRU1BOA8 on its Galaxy S5 SM-N900V users.  But if you're a AT&T Galaxy S5 user's don't get too much over-excited yet, that's because the update still  in Android 4.4.4 KitKat based firmware.

In addition, the update itself brings the promising HD Voice capabilities on your Galaxy S5. The HD Voice feature is the main key-feature to this update  but  it is also currently available in select markets only.  Along with it are the new features that offers services such as "Uber" which you can request and get a ride thru your Galaxy S5 phone, while the rest are AT&T's mail, AT&T Live and remote support.

However, if you  are a AT&T Galaxy S5 users and might somehow being skeptical about the update, and or you might reluctant to perform a software update.   Who knows that this might be just another preparation and might be the last KitKat update you will ever seen before your Galaxy S5 gets the Android 5.0 Lollipop update. So you should update your Galaxy S5 right now or otherwise your phone might get outdated.

Here are the technical details of G900AUCU2AOA1: 
  • Android version: 4.4.4
  • Baseband version: G900AUCU2AOA1
  • Kernel version: 3.4.0-3116194
  • Build number: KTU84P.G900AUCU2AOA1

Here is the actual screenshot of the G900AUCU2AOA1 Android 4.4.4 once updated to it.  This can be simply seen by navigating through the phone's Setting>>About Device.

For the complete changelog details about G900AUCU2AOA1 just head-over at AT&T Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-N900A support page.  If you did not see the update yet, just keep on checking. AT&T usually rolls out a software update in gradual manner via over-the-air.  The actual file size of G900AUCU2AOA1  update is 487MB, according to AT&T and Samsung.

Paint On Galaxy Z Fold7 Phones Is Already Peeling Off, According To Consumers

By
The paint chipping issue reported by some Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 users appears to be a recurring problem that was also seen with the Z Fold 6. Despite users claiming they have not dropped their devices, paint delamination is occurring on the anodized aluminum body. Samsung’s support page for the Z Fold 6 suggests that poorly grounded third-party chargers can cause leakage currents, damaging the anodized finish and leading to paint chipping. This is why Samsung advises using only official chargers. However, since at least one affected user on Reddit reported using an official 25W Samsung charger, it raises concerns that the problem might not be solely due to third-party chargers. It could indicate potential issues with Samsung’s paint application process or possibly that their chargers might not fully prevent this damage under certain conditions.
