Study: iPhone Users Upgrade Less Frequently Than Android Owners

iPhone users in the US do not upgrade their phones as frequently as Android users, according to a study by CIRP. Only 10% of iPhone owners surveyed purchased a new model within a year, compared to 23% of Android buyers. The research firm suggests that the longer usage patterns of iPhone users, the availability of more affordable Android phones, and the frequent release of multiple Android models throughout the year may contribute to this trend. Additionally, the better support and faster chips of iPhones could also play a role in users' decision to hold onto their devices for longer periods.

Pixel's Adaptive Charging feature now works without alarms

Google Pixel phones' Adaptive Charging feature may no longer require an alarm to optimize battery lifespan. The feature, which slows down charging to hit 100% closer to unplugging, previously required an alarm to be set between 3AM and 10AM. However, recent reports suggest that the feature is now activated based on usage patterns, without the need for an alarm. This change has not been confirmed by Google, but it could be rolling out soon.
