Garmin Enduro 4 Launches at $900 with Solar-Powered Unlimited Battery Life

Garmin has launched the Enduro 4, a rugged smartwatch priced at $899.99 that prioritizes extreme battery longevity over premium materials. Featuring a 1.4-inch Memory-in-Pixel (MiP) display and solar charging, the device offers up to 90 days of smartwatch battery life and potentially unlimited usage in power-saving modes with sufficient daylight. While it shares core training and navigation features with the more expensive Fenix 9 Pro Solar, the Enduro 4 is 36 grams lighter and $300 cheaper, though it lacks phone call capabilities, voice commands, and a dive computer.

Disable Background App Refresh to Extend iPhone Battery Life

Apple’s Background App Refresh feature silently drains battery by fetching data for apps while the phone is idle. Disabling this setting in iOS stops unnecessary background tasks, significantly extending battery life without limiting active app usage. Users can toggle the feature off entirely or customize it per app, prioritizing battery efficiency for social media while keeping navigation apps active.

Apple Watch Series 12 Review: S11 Chip Delivers Major Battery and Health Gains

The Apple Watch Series 12, launched September 18, 2026, offers significant upgrades over the Series 11, primarily through the new S11 chip. Key improvements include extended battery life that supports overnight sleep tracking without mid-day charging, faster charging speeds, and a new Readiness app. While the hardware design remains largely unchanged, the Series 12 introduces Ceramic Shield 2 glass for aluminum models and more accurate heart rate monitoring. It is positioned as a substantial software and performance update rather than a redesign, competing with the higher-priced Ultra 4 for users prioritizing health metrics and battery efficiency.

iPhone 18 Pro Max Breaks Battery-Life Records in PCMag Lab

iPhone 18 Pro Max Breaks Battery-Life Records in PCMag Lab

PCMag's lab tests crown the iPhone 18 Pro Max as the longest-lasting phone ever, recording 34 hours 31 minutes of battery life—about 2 hours more than the iPhone 17 Pro Max—thanks to a 5,567 mAh US battery and the A20 Pro's improved cooling and efficiency; the test drains the battery with active processing, radios, and a high-brightness YouTube loop. Android rivals like the Galaxy S26 Ultra and Pixel 11 Pro XL appear in the rankings but don't beat Apple, and OnePlus has signaled it will exit the US market though current models remain for sale. The Lab Award highlights standout battery performance rather than a perfect score across all metrics.
