Adam Levine tweets from an iPhone after promoting Milk Music for Samsung

adam levine iphone tweet samsung maroon5
A good celebrity endorser is hard to find. Nobody knows this better than Samsung, a company whose celebrity endorsement deals have so often gone awry. Not too long ago, LeBron James famously dissed the Samsung Galaxy S5 that he was supposed to be promoting, Ellen DeGeneres tweeted with an iPhone even though she was supposed to be using a Samsung smartphone, and Jay-Z did the same, appearing with an iPhone in hand shortly after signing a deal with Samsung.

Now it’s happened again.

Just days after Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine went on stage to promote Milk Music at a Samsung event in New York City, he was caught tweeting from an iPhone. The Voice coach tweeted that he and his friends would be on The Ellen Show on Monday, September 8. The tweet was posted at 11 a.m. EST and appears to have been removed. Levine reposted the tweet around 2:25 p.m. EST minus the “via Twitter for iPhone” stamp.

To make matters worse, Levine famously said that he and his fellow band mate would have a “ceremonial iPhone burning” after the Samsung event last week. So either Samsung hasn’t given Levine his new Galaxy Note 4 yet, or he was just being ironic about the whole iPhone burning thing.

Apple is expected to manufacture a slightly smaller number of iPhone 15 handsets compared to the iPhone 14 last year, but the company is eyeing an increase in revenue when the device launches in the fall.

How? Because it’s considering increasing the cost of the iPhone 15 Pro models.

I lost my iPhone on a dream vacation — and it wasn’t a nightmare
Photo of Spain.

Our trip to Spain and Morocco, which my wife, Julie, had meticulously planned for 15 months, started off rather inauspiciously on June 25. After arriving in Chicago from Portland, Oregon, we learned that our connecting flight to Newark, New Jersey, had been canceled due to weather concerns. As we waited in line for two-and-a-half hours to talk to a United Airlines agent, we were told via text by a customer service rep that we might be stuck in the Windy City for two days.

A 30-year Spanish teacher, Julie was on the verge of fulfilling a lifelong dream of visiting Spain. Now, several activities were in danger of being erased from her bucket list as her worst fears about the trip were being realized. When we finally made it to the service desk, our hope was all but snuffed out. We explained the situation to the agent, who spent several minutes looking at his computer wordlessly. He eventually looked up and said: "I can you get out on a flight tonight."

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.

If you fall into either (or both) of these categories, then 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 on the road. Thankfully, every iPhone released in the past six years supports much faster charging, but the downside is that with very few exceptions, Apple has never supplied you with the right adapter to get the best possible charging speeds from your iPhone.
