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.

It’s the end of the road for these two iPhone models
Apple iPhone 6S Plus

Seeing your favorite handheld gaming device in a retro store has a unique way of making you feel old, but Apple might have topped it. According to the company, the iPhone XS Max and iPhone 6s Plus are now "vintage." They join the ranks of the iPhone 4 and even the iPad Pro 12.9-inch model.

It's not wholly unexpected. Apple declares a device vintage after five years, and that means it becomes more difficult to have that device repaired or to find replacement parts for it. Obsolete is applied to products that are more than seven years old, but sometimes certain variants get that label early.

Even though Apple has launched the iPhone 16, last year's model isn't going anywhere yet. In fact, the iPhone 15 is now a better buy than ever since Apple is selling it at a lower price — and you can find even deeper discounts online and from many carriers.

The iPhone 15 marked a watershed transition in Apple's standard iPhone lineup. It was a significant jump ahead of its 2022 predecessor, packing in the most significant camera improvements for a standard model since the iPhone 11 adopted the dual-lens camera design in 2019. That put it ahead of its time, and it's still a compelling choice against this year's iPhone 16, especially if Apple Intelligence isn't your cup of tea.
