Apple thinks 128GB is "lots of storage"

Apple's iPhone 15 starts at 128GB of built-in storage, a chunk of which is of course taken up by iOS and the preinstalled apps. In 2024, you may think that's not really sufficient, or at least not a lot. But Apple begs to differ.

The company says the iPhone 15, which, again, starts at 128GB, has "lots of storage for lots of photos" in the description for its newest video ad. Let's watch the ad together below.

It's definitely got a catchy soundtrack, and the idea is pretty cool, and it's definitely well executed - we can't fault the ad for any of those things. It's just the premise...

The cheaper Galaxy Z Fold6 version might cost way less than you were expecting

For a while now Samsung has been rumored to shake up the foldable smartphone market this year by launching a cheaper version of the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold6 alongside that device - most likely in early to mid July.

This cheaper version of the foldable now has a rumored price tag, and it's shockingly good: under $800. That's less than half what the Fold5 started at. You should probably read that as $799, and don't forget that $799 could translate into €919 or something like that across the pond, but still - for a book-like foldable, this is incredibly impressive and could indeed catapult the...

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra vs. Samsung Galaxy S24+

There is no uncertainty in our minds that the S24 Ultra is the ultimate Galaxy - that is, if we exclude the Fold from the conversation so as not to complicate things. But does everyone need the ultimate Galaxy? Perhaps the more ordinary Plus is all the Galaxy you'd ever have any use for, and spending the premium for an Ultra isn't entirely warranted. With that in mind, we set off to find out how the two stack up, hopefully saving you some money in the process - or, alternatively, convincing you to go Ultra.
