Apple’s iPhone 18 could bring one of the biggest privacy upgrades in years. 👀
Leaks suggest Apple’s new in-house C2 modem may let iPhones hide your exact location from carriers by limiting precise tower triangulation.
That means:
• Less carrier tracking
• Better metadata privacy
• More control over your location data
• Possible satellite + 5G upgrades too
Apple isn’t just replacing Qualcomm anymore.
They’re turning the modem into a privacy weapon. 🔒📱
If this ships with iPhone 18, Android brands will have to respond fast.

@SnazzyLabs I think you were too lenient on apple OS in your 2025 apple products tier list video lol. Every single one of their OS has gotten worse since even with updates

It would be really great if Apple made tvOS work at more than 7-12FPS. It's so friggin' slow with tvOS 26 on all but the very latest gen models (and even those are slow too)!

@eliteobsolete There’s recently a way to by pass 9.3.5 activation lock. Just introduced this January. Bobika5 and A5_Bypass_OSS

the last iPod Touch 5 ever made/sold?? ?
unit is an AppleCare+ replacement 64GB iPod in yellow on iOS 9.3.5, FD715LL/A
Apple's checkcoverage service provides a sale date in November 2019 and under warranty until December 2020 😮😮😮
RIP 💀💀 iCloud locked FOREVER 🔒🔒 Apple plz fix

The new Googlebook is so UGLY. It just looks like a standard windows laptop. None of Google’s design language is implemented into this laptop design like the PixelBook Go.
Just a small RGB strip for Gemini 🤦♂️
SLK15@SLKVinyl
Google should re-release the PixelBook Go with a Snapdragon X-Elite! - 2.1 lbs (0.95 kg) - 13mm thin - rounded corners and bottom ridges This is the best laptop design ever and I think it would be really good competition with the MacBook Neo.

@Dull_wall_build @OutofGalaxyy Battery drains and slight lag and hitches are night and day compared to whatever ios 26 is on any phone that is weaker than a 15 Pro Max lmao. Those "tailored" apps can barely runs now thanks to liquid ass. This is how bad ios has become

I used to criticise Pixels and Tensor a lot for the poor benchmark scores, but after I used iPhone 12 mini, I feel like we should cut them some slack. Pixels might not have the best benchmarks but they never perform like this in daily use. Who at Apple thought 4GB RAM at $800 and no cooling system with such a powerful processor was a good idea? 😭 Do they think everyone lives in California weather? Clip 1: Scrolling the wallpaper menu for 5m Clip 2: Using the phone normally outdoors for 5m PS: Before anyone says “it’s because you’re using mini”, it’s the same experience on a non-mini iPhone 13. The 13 might take 4-5 minutes extra to reach the same point but it does reach there quick.
English
@hunnpham @OutofGalaxyy Yeah and on a Samsung opening any social media app drains the battery like a vampire. The quick panel lags and hitches on their flagship devices. Optimization is a word Android phones don't even understand lol. Google apps on IOS are tailored, meanwhile samdroid gets nothing! Lol
English
How cute
Adopting system wide blur only in 2026
Apple did that with iOS 7 in 2013, but everyone develops at their own pace ;)
Noah Cat@Cartidise
Guys, the “biggest update ever” to Android is more “blur” across the system (it’s still using cheap transparency on the search bar lol) Yes, Google has finally added blur on Pixel UI They’re only 13 years late...
English
@Dull_wall_build @OutofGalaxyy An iPhone 12 on iOS 26 that has a more powerful soc than a Pixel 10 lags and overheat just by changing the lock screen wallpaper or opening the phone app lmao. Optimized my ass
English
@hunnpham @OutofGalaxyy It's more like "oh yeah, we can't do that because our phones would catch fire and explode because our OS is nowhere near as optimized."
English
@techdroider Your previous design was better is a big fuck you to Liquid Glass lmao
English
Android 17 is most likely getting an iOS 7-like "frosted glass" blur effect across the entire UI.
This is Google’s answer to iOS Liquid Glass.
English
@SnazzyLabs @MicrosoftvApple More like he's criticizing how bloated and unoptimized ios has become since liquid glass. A much more powerful chip but somehow can't even change the wallpaper smoothly, and has animations at sub 60fps when opening apps. That's how bad ios has become
English
@MicrosoftvApple Kinda sounds like you are defending the Tensor’s garbage performance, tbh.
English
I’m tired of this narrative that Pixel 10 and 11 have an SoC that’s as powerful as the 6 year old iPhone 12 or just 10% more powerful.
While true on-paper, the iPhone 12 mini has frame drops even in basic multitasking on iOS 26 and this is what the phone becomes in 5 minutes of outdoor use in summers because there’s no vapour chamber. It’s an identical experience for the base iPhone 12 and 13 as well.
The Pixel 11 is NOT gonna perform as garbage as this because it has 2-3x the RAM, a vapour chamber for cooling and a more optimised UI (regardless of the reason why it’s more optimised). Pixel 11 is going to perform smooth af and on-par with the iPhone 17 in daily use.
I’m the last person to defend tensor’s garbage performance compared to Snapdragon and even Exynos but I really hate this narrative of iPhone winning in benchmark numbers by 6 years but performing worse than Androids that score half of that on paper.

The Tensor G6 is a huge upgrade. 10% SoC improvements put it at just a little bit more performant than an iPhone 12. Nice work!
English
@SnazzyLabs You laugh but UI on a pixel 10 with weak hardware is night and day compared to an iPhone 12 on iOS 26.
It should radicalise you to no end that you would've had a smooth UI if Liquid Glass doesn't exist and if iOS wasn't bloated. All that power wasted on useless things. Tragic

Pixel 11 leak 👀 Google may finally fix the biggest Pixel complaints Main upgrades • Tensor G6 chip • TSMC 2nm process • MediaTek M90 modem • Better thermals + efficiency Camera • 50MP main camera on base Pixel 11 • Pixel Glow RGB LED inside camera bar Display + battery • 6.3-inch OLED (base) • Up to 2450 nits brightness • 5000mAh battery on Pro XL • 240Hz PWM dimming Pixel Glow • RGB LED system inside camera visor • Replaces IR thermometer • Similar vibe to Nothing Glyph lights Context • Google focusing on design + efficiency this year • Pixel Glow could become Pixel’s new identity feature
English
@mweinbach Those systems have to come with soldered ram, which automatically makes it e-waste
English
dGPUs in a laptop are largely unnecessary, unified memory plus a large iGPU are better in almost every way
English
@ShishirShelke1 We will forget this garbage lol. I absolutely love that the more people use Liquid Glass the more they hate it
English
@majordev13 Nah it’s the tool. Any iPhone before the 13, when you were able to turn off smart hdr takes better photos than current iPhone
English
So it really is all about the photographer not the tool

@heystevebauman @joshmanders Wow cpu spikes when launching start menu!? Here’s macOS Tahoe SwiftUI calculator taking 60gb of ram, still not fixed btw. Microsoft with all of its ai garbage is not even remotely comparable to the turd that is macOS Tahoe

@hunnpham @joshmanders Windows is still trying to optimize its start menu because it sucks so bad:

@wisplite @heystevebauman Craig Federighi inherited the world’s best local search service ever, proceed to overload it with internet results and iPhone app search over 20 years to now becoming worse than windows search. Incredible talent really
English
@hunnpham @heystevebauman Why does it pull up Excel on your iPhone before the actual Excel app 😭
English
@heystevebauman I find the people threatening to go back to Windows because Liquid Glass is "ugly" hilarious. I just wanna go... you'd rather use a broken operating system that's trying to shove AI down your throat and ads than... *checks notes* a border radii not being to your liking?
Doubt.

@Cartidise You know it's a bad idea when none of the chinese brands copied it lmao
