The Galaxy S25 could add a new feature that’s perfect for mobile gaming

The Samsung Galaxy S25 is set to blow fans away with its impressive specs, and the latest leak just lends more credence to those rumors. According to trusted leaker Jukanlosreve, Samsung is working on a "game mode" that will improve performance without generating a tremendous amount of excess heat.

Jukanlosreve speculates the game mode feature will utilize the Qualcomm Adreno Frame Motion Engine 2.0 (AFME 2.0), which is a technology that can double the frame rate in games without increasing its power usage. That means a smoother gaming experience without extra heat or a noticeable impact on battery life. Qualcomm writes that AFME 2.0 "provides realistic detail by generating high-quality scenes, doubling the frame rate while maintaining the same power consumption."

Kino is the iPhone camera app I’d recommend to everyone

The Halide camera app is one of the hot favorites among folks who take mobile photo and video capture seriously. A fair share of content creators that I know have completely replaced the iPhone’s stock camera app with Halide, all thanks to the deep creative controls that it offers.

The app recently added a fantastic feature called Process Zero, which switches all the AI processing and delivers pristine shots. However, for all the deep controls that Halide has to offer, it also serves up a sharp learning curve. At times, it can even get overwhelming.

Apple might discontinue its most ‘courageous’ iPhone accessory

Apple's Lightning to 3.5mm headphone adapter.

Apple introduced the iPhone 7 in 2016. The phone is noted for being the first Apple handset to ship without a traditional 3.5mm headphone jack — something Apple infamously praised as a move that took "courage."

At a time when most wired headphones needed one of those jacks to listen to music, Apple had an interesting solution: a Lightning to 3.5mm headphone jack adapter that shipped with every new phone. According to MacRumors, Apple is set to end production on that accessory.
