Launching today in the Washington D.C. area, Anheuser-Busch has created an Android mobile app (iOS coming soon) that lets users order between 1 and 100 cases of Bud Light and have the beer delivered directly to their home. Obviously limited to users that are specifically 21 and older, the beer company promises that deliveries will be made within an hour. This service could be particularly ideal for any party or sporting event, especially when the host or attendees are already too inebriated to drive to the supermarket or liquor store.

Detailed on the Anheuser-Busch newsroom, the Bud Light Button app also includes something of an added bonus. Anheuser-Busch vice president Lucas Herscovici said “Some people will get just a little something extra, like Bud Light-branded gear, but once in a while, we’re going to deliver a really over-the-top, amazing experiences. Maybe that means we show up with a DJ who turns your gathering of friends into an amazing event. The only way to find out for sure what we’re going to do is to grab your phone and use the Bud Light Button.”

Anheuser-Busch is working with Klink, an alcohol delivery service operating within Washington, D.C., Orlando, Miami and Ann Arbor, to fulfill and deliver all orders. Basically, Klink fulfills the order at a local vendor near the user, picks up the beer and delivers it to the home of the Bud Light Button app user. There’s also a nominal delivery fee and it’s likely that the delivery driver would accept tips.

Interestingly, Anheuser-Busch isn’t the only beer company that’s looking for a way to break into the home delivery market. According to Fortune, MillerCoors is attempting a similar pilot program within Boston, New York, Seattle and Washington, D.C. that will deliver within 60 minutes. Of course, MillerCoors isn’t offering the possibility of a DJ showing up at your front door.

An Apple insider says a new iPad is coming in spring 2025. Here’s what we know

Someone holding the iPad (2022) with the display turned on.

Apple did not release any new iPads in 2023. However, this year marked a significant change with the introduction of all-new versions of the iPad mini, iPad Air, and iPad Pro. Notably absent from this list is the standard iPad, which hasn't been updated in nearly three years. This is expected to change in the coming months. According to MacRumors, Apple plans to release an updated iPad alongside the iPhone SE 4 in spring 2025.

While limited information about the upcoming iPad is available, several details have emerged in recent months. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the new tablet is expected to support Apple Intelligence, just like all iPads released in 2024 do. This support suggests that the 11th-generation iPad will likely have a newer A-series chip and at least 8GB of RAM.

MediaTek’s Dimensity 8400 is going to make 2025 phones faster and more efficient

MediaTek Dimensity 8400 SoC visualized on a phone.

MediaTek has just introduced its latest smartphone silicon, and this one promises some big changes for midrange smartphones. The latest offering from the Taiwanese company is the Dimensity 8400 chip, and it will take on Qualcomm’s excellent Snapdragon 7 series Gen 3 processors.

The new MediaTek chipset, however, enters the fray with more firepower than we have ever seen in this segment. That’s because the Dimensity 8400 goes all-in on big cores and ditches efficiency cores, just like its flagship sibling, the Dimensity 9400.

It sure looks like the Samsung Galaxy S25 is getting a price increase

The back of the yellow Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 is just around the corner. We expect it to be announced on January 22 at the Galaxy Unpacked event that's expected to be happening that day, and a new leak further corroborates that information while adding in a few more tidbits we didn't know before.

Tipster Jukanlosreve shared the news on X, citing a "very reliable" source that confirmed the Galaxy S25 will officially be on sale in Korea (and presumably the U.S.) on February 7. In addition, the leaker says the Slim model will also be shown at the Unpacked event.
