  2. TechSpot: New AI model can predict battery lifespan after only 50 cycles. “A new tool could dramatically accelerate how scientists design and test batteries. Researchers at the University of Michigan have developed a machine-learning system that can predict a battery’s lifetime after only a fraction of the usual testing, potentially cutting months or even years from the prototyping process.”

  4. Statcounter reports that #iOS26 #adoption is significantly lower than previous versions, with only 16% of #iPhone users having upgraded four months after release. This is compared to over 60% adoption for #iOS18 at the same time last year. The reasons for the slow adoption are unclear, but concerns about #batterylife, the #LiquidGlass #design, and Apple’s #delayedrecommendation could be factors. 9to5mac.com/2026/01/08/most-ip #tech #media #news

  5. 🚗💥 The Expanding Car: A Tragedy in Tonnes
    Once cars were polite: they fit in spaces, whispered fuel economy, and didn’t need prayers to park. Then… the battery boxes arrived. 📦⚡
    At first, small. Then bigger. Then… massive. Cars grew taller, wider, heavier — all to carry the box. Weight remembers everything. Physics squints. Efficiency disappears. 🏋️‍♂️💨
    Now: bigger motors, bigger brakes, bigger wheels, squinted headlights. Cars are assertive: “I am large because I am sustainable.” Meanwhile, the hatchback from ’98 smirks silently, 50mpg and proud.
    🐾☕ Marvin approves, if it fits the driveway.

  6. iOS 26's 'Adaptive Power' is apparently giving your iPhone a 'hidden battery boost.' Because nothing says cutting-edge tech like a feature you didn't even know existed (or needed). Are we just passively optimizing now?

Engadget: Google is clamping down on Android apps that cause excessive battery drain. “The company just announced the launch of a new metric for app developers that keeps an eye on battery usage.

  11. Lilbits: A new modular PC input device, Google brings even more AI to Pixel phones, Apple’s $230 knit iPhone holder

    Over the past few years I’ve seen a couple of different widescreen touchscreen displays that are designed to be used as both a second screen and an input device for a computer. But the UltraBar X stands out for its unusual, modular design.

    At its most basic, this device is just another 7 inch ultrawide touchscreen display that connects to a computer. But that’s just the core module. There are […]

  13. Motorola's Edge 70 just landed: 5.9mm thin, ready to give the iPhone Air a run for its money. But get this – it boasts a 4800mAh battery, promising up to *50 hours* of life. Meanwhile, the Air struggles to hit half that. Thinness is cool, but is it useful if you're tethered to a charger?

    Currently UK-only. What's your personal trade-off: super thin or super long battery life?

  15. Any idea what causes such absurd power drain behavior?
    This is while phone is idle, screen off.
    ("Put-to-sleep-when-not-in-use" is enabled for Whatsapp btw)
    Usually battery holds 2 to 3 days. But here it just powered itself off within minutes.

    Unable to boot, shows battery 0%. After just a few minutes on charger, it boots and is right bach at more than 50%

  16. Xiaomi’s 17 Pro Max, despite its huge 7,500mAh battery, loses to Apple’s smaller iPhone 17 Pro Max in battery life tests. The reason lies in Apple’s superior hardware-software optimization, while Xiaomi focuses on flashy specs over efficiency. It’s a reminder that smart engineering beats size on paper.
