Amazon has just launched a big promotional offer on the AirPods 3: in their version with wired charging box, they are currently offered at 168,95 € instead of €209 on the Apple Store, i.e. 19% immediate discount. Models with a MagSafe-compatible case are on the other hand 189 € instead of €219 at Appleor 14% off.

At the entry level, the AirPods 2 are also on sale at 136 € instead of €159 at Apple, or 15% discount. And on the AirPods Pro side, the price is 265 € instead of €299 at Apple, or 11% savings. As usual with Amazon, it’s unclear how long these deals will be available.

After a set of renders that showed off the new iPhone 15 Pro design, we now have confirmation that the iPhone 15 is switching from Lightning to USB-C.

The image shared by Unknownz21 on Twitter doesn’t show much, but it is indeed an iPhone, or a very good imitation of it. Besides the USB-C port, we can see Apple’s pentalobe security screws as well as the symmetrical speaker holes on each side. The phone also appears to have a more curved chamfer and possibly a new titanium body, although it might also be a metal prototype mold.

The iPhone has been rumored to be switching to USB-C for years and a new European Union ruling requiring all smartphones to have USB-C by 2024 has likely accelerated development of the new port by Apple. The firm has used Lightning as the charging port for the iPhone since its introduction in 2012 to replace the bulky 30-pin connector. Back when it was introduced, Apple hailed the cable as adaptable, reversible, and durable, all hallmarks of today’s USB-C cables.

Three years following Lightning was introduced, Apple developed its first Mac with a USB-C port, the 12-inch MacBook, and has since rolled it out to all Macs, iPads, and chargers. After the iPhone 15 passes, it is likely that the AirPods and AirPods Max will be next. Then it will only be a matter of time before Lightning is gone for good, as only a handful of compatible accessories and older iPhones will remain.

Has your phone been lagging a little lately?

It may be because it needs to be restarted.

Because it is important for his system to do so.

But why do you have to turn it off and on once more?

And how often should it be done?

I asked Theo the question, the smartphone specialist who sold me my phone.

And he explained everything to me.

Here’s why to restart your laptop and how often. Look :

1. Why is my phone slow?

This small device is an integral part of our lives.

And it may be 100% charged, but sometimes it is very slow.

Normal, from morning to evening, we are on it to send emails, consult the Internet, telephone…

We download lots of files that leave cookies everywhere.

By force, the phone is saturated with files that take up all the space.

And that’s not to mention our thousands of photos and videos which are very heavy.

All this only slows down the functioning of the smartphone.

This is where you have to act.

Here’s how :

2. How to restart your phone?

As my Samsung phone had become really too slow, here is what Theo advised me:

Turn off the device completely to restart it.

Nothing’s easier !

The ideal, according to him, is to leave it off overnight.

But if we don’t have the possibility to do that, we can simply press the “restart” button.

And in a few seconds, the system reboots.

The last possible trick is to spend at least 30 seconds in airplane mode.

The result is the same, but it takes less time.

3. Restart to update

You’re probably wondering what’s the use of restarting the phone

So let me explain.

By restarting, the device will start on a good basis.

First of all, it allows him to do all the updates.

And that’s important.

For what ?

Because it fixes security vulnerabilities. This is also the main reason to let the phone do the updates.

Indeed, it prevents hackers, who know these flaws, from rushing in to hack your device.

In addition, these updates make it possible to benefit from new functionalities… it would be a shame to deprive yourself of them.

4. To clear the cache

Clear cache, what is it?

The idea is to cut off apps that continue to run in the background.

Which isn’t a good thing because that’s what slows down the system, among other things.

And then it “eats” the battery.

By restarting the phone, the cache is immediately cleared.

It is therefore a great way to optimize the performance of the device.

Your turn…
