LG’s G3 already has a very long battery life, but the company has seen fit to double the flagship’s battery life with a new promotion. From now until September 22, LG will give anyone who buys a G3, an extra battery pack and charging cradle.

LG says that both the battery and charger would typically cost around $70, so even though you’ll have to pay a sizable amount for the G3, it’s a great deal. Those who take advantage of the promotion would then be able to charge their extra battery while they use the removable 3000mAh battery that comes with the G3. Then, once that one runs out, they’ll be able to pop in the new one and keep humming along.

Seeing as the G3 already gives about 50 hours of 3G use before it needs to be recharged, having an extra battery on hand could mean that you almost never have to charge your smartphone. You’ll never be a wall hugger again.

To take advantage of the promotion, all you have to do is visit LG’s website and you’re good to go.

I used a Wear OS smartwatch for the first time, and I love it

Ever since the original Apple Watch, smartwatches as a whole have really taken off. Though Apple largely dominates the market, there are still plenty of non-Apple smartwatches to choose from.

I’ve been solely an Apple Watch user for the past decade, but I’ve been trying out a Google Pixel Watch 3 for the past couple of weeks. And, honestly, I kind of love it.

This hacking tool can unlock an iPhone 16. Here’s how it works

Apple does not assist third parties in unlocking iPhones, which has led many law enforcement agencies to rely on the Graykey forensics tool. A recent report from 404 Media indicates that this controversial product can now access the newest iPhone 16 models.

Should this be a concern for you? Almost certainly not, but it's still good to stay informed about how these things work. Here's a quick overview.

The wait for the iPhone SE 4 is almost over

iPhone SE

We know the iPhone SE 4 is on the way — that's been leaked over and over again. The question on everyone's mind is exactly when the new model will be released.

Previously, information pointed to a spring 2025 launch. Now, we can narrow that down further to March. The iPhone SE 4 is set to change how people see the SE series; rather than an outdated budget device, the latest model should be more similar to a stripped-down version of the flagships.
