O2 Revises UK iPhone Tariffs

O2 Revises UK iPhone TariffsIn the UK each network provider has so many different tariffs available that it can be confusing – very confusing. After research among its customers O2 haverestructured its tariffs, and among the big winners are iPhone owners, although there’s speculation that their fees might have come down because oflower than expected UK sales, possibly 10,000 below expectations, Vnunet reports.   Previously, iPhone customers had to pay upfront for the handset ($540),and had a choice of three different plans, costing $70, $90 or $110 a month.   Under the changes, for example, an iPhone user on the lowest level will now get double the monthly minutes andtexts. On the highest level, users will have the option of either saving $20 a month or climbing to a new $150 level that offers 3,000 minutes and 500 texts each month. The handset fee will remainunchanged, however.   Existing customers will find the new tariffs taking effect next month, while new customers will click in during March. There will be no change to the fact that iPhone userswill have unlimited access and browsing at Wi-Fi hotspots owned by The Cloud.

Apple Intelligence on iPhone 15 Pro.

Apple's WWDC 2024 keynote was one of the biggest ones that the company had made in years.

By this time next year, Apple may have installed its own in-house Wi-Fi chips in all of its phones, or at least one of them.

According to Ming-Chi Kuo, a well-known analyst with a trusted record, Apple is working on its own Wi-Fi chips to replace the current ones from Broadcom, but there's not a firm timeline on when they'll arrive (via MacRumors). He says the iPhone 17 Pro might come equipped with this new chip, but other sources suggest it won't get widespread adoption until the iPhone 18.

How to fast charge your iPhone
iPhone 12 Mini with charger

While they may not be some of the longest-lasting smartphones on the market, modern iPhones boast more than respectable battery life that should be able to get you through an entire day's use without breaking too much of a sweat. Of course, that assumes a lot of things — including a battery that's still relatively new and in good health, plus a usage pattern that doesn't include all-day streaming or gaming.

But for some people, overnight charging isn't going to cut it, and you'll want to get your battery topped up again as quickly as you can so you can get back in action.
