I'm the kind of longtime iPhone user who doesn't upgrade their handset every year anymore. I moved to the iPhone 14 Pro from the iPhone X‚ and I skipped the iPhone 15 series. But I will probably buy one of the iPhone 16 models this September. And‚ unlike previous purchases‚ I might avoid the Pro completely and buy a cheaper model. Not only that‚ but I'm also considering getting a larger iPhone model‚ which would be a first for me.  I've always avoided the Pro Max size‚ but now I feel like I need a bigger screen. I could get that from the base iPhone 16 Pro‚ which will be slightly larger than the regular model. But I've come to realize that I don't necessarily need a Pro smartphone. I could do fine with a non-Pro version and save money.  The real reason the iPhone 16 Plus is so appealing concerns battery life. The iPhone 14 Plus and 15 Plus have seen great praise for battery life‚ and I think the iPhone 16 Plus should be just as good‚ if not better‚ than its predecessors. That's why I find a leaker's recent battery size claims for the iPhone 16 Plus annoying‚ and I hope their info is inaccurate. Why would the iPhone 16 Plus pack a smaller battery than its predecessor?

When Apple unveiled the Vision Pro and showed someone using it on a plane‚ I'm sure a lot of people wondered how they were supposed to transport the headset safely to pull something like that off. I sure did — that glass looks expensive‚ and I would not want to scratch or break it. Apple did announce its own case for the Vision Pro‚ and while it certainly does provide protection for the headset‚ it is certainly not the most compact case I've ever seen. A number of reviewers pointed out that they felt that they needed a separate backpack to carry Apple's case. As it's almost a foot tall‚ I see where they're coming from. Continue reading...

In a bold marketing move that has left political pundits scratching their heads‚ Budweiser‚ the iconic American beer brand‚ has announced the release of a new limited-edition beer can aimed at appealing to a more politically diverse audience. Dubbed “Dem Light‚” the new beverage promises to offer a refreshing taste of bipartisanship‚ with a special nod to former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley. The decision to feature Haley‚ a prominent Republican figure‚ on the “Dem Light” can has raised eyebrows across the political spectrum. Some see it as a savvy marketing strategy aimed at capitalizing on Haley’s popularity among conservative voters‚ while others view it as a puzzling attempt to bridge the partisan divide through beer branding. In a statement accompanying the announcement‚ Budweiser explained its decision to feature Haley on the “Dem Light” can‚ citing her reputation as a moderate voice within the Republican Party. “Nikki Haley embodies the spirit of bipartisanship and cooperation that we hope to promote with our ‘Dem Light’ beer‚” said a spokesperson for the company. “We believe that by celebrating leaders from both sides of the political aisle‚ we can bring people together over a cold beer and remind them that there’s more that unites us than divides us.” Reaction to Budweiser’s announcement has been mixed‚ with some consumers expressing enthusiasm for the new product and others expressing confusion and skepticism. “I’m not sure what to make of it‚” said one beer drinker. “But if it tastes good‚ I’ll give it a try.” As “Dem Light” prepares to hit store shelves‚ all eyes are on Budweiser to see whether its bold marketing gamble will pay off. Will beer drinkers embrace the idea of a bipartisan brew‚ or will “Dem Light” fall flat in the face of political polarization? Only time will tell‚ but one thing is certain: in the world of beer marketing‚ anything is possible.

Toby Keith’s death came as a shock to fans despite the state of his health.

Keith was also in Vegas for Charles Barkley’s birthday party with Willie present. Both artists stayed back to catch up‚ and that was when Willie whipped out the good stuff. “Willie’s got that real chronic‚ medicinal stuff‚” he said. “I’ve never smoked much pot in my life‚ it’s not my high.” RELATED: Clint Eastwood‚ Who Inspired Toby Keith Song‚ Reacts To Country Singer’s Sudden Death In no time‚ Keith was so into it that he couldn’t even function. “We set down and he starts rolling one up‚ so when in Rome‚ you know? We burn one…It was‚ like‚ the most hardcore weed that I’d ever had‚ and I’d only hit it like three or four times‚ and unlike Bill Clinton‚ I did inhale‚” he continued.
