The Moto Razr and Razr Plus Succumb to Shrinkflation

The memory crisis claims another couple of victims. Motorola’s midtier and entry-level flip phones cost $100 more than their predecessors, and have few upgrades to show for it. The 2026 Razr Plus costs $1,099, up from $999. It still comes with a Snapdragon 8S Gen 3 chipset – two years old at this point – […]

Motorola Just Revealed the Razr Fold’s Price, and Hoo Boy

2026 is shaping up to be a tough year to launch a high-end phone. The memory crisis has phone prices rising across the board, so an already expensive phone risks becoming a much too expensive phone. That might be what happened to the Razr Fold, which will cost $1,900 when it goes on sale in […]

Apple Addresses iPhone Flaw Enabling FBI Entry to Erased Notifications

404 Media disclosed that a flaw in Apple’s push notification storage system permitted the FBI to retrieve erased Signal messages from a suspect’s iPhone using forensic tools. The case, which DOJ representatives present as the inaugural instance of indicting individuals with “Antifa” related terrorism charges, unveiled a method for governments aiming to bypass Apple’s user privacy regulations, which necessitate that law enforcement obtain a court order to access users’ notification data.

As per the company’s support page, the updates for Apple’s iOS 26.4.2 and iPadOS 26.4.2 fixed a “logging issue” and produced “enhanced data redaction.” The correction addresses a security vulnerability where “notifications designated for deletion might be unexpectedly stored on the device.” Apple asserts that the update is accessible for “iPhone 11 and subsequent models, iPad Pro 12.9-inch 3rd generation and beyond, iPad Pro 11-inch 1st generation and beyond, iPad Air 3rd generation and beyond, iPad 8th generation and onwards, and iPad mini 5th generation and later.”

This security correction is another installment in Apple’s struggle to safeguard users against unwarranted privacy violations. Since 2015, the tech behemoth has been in the sights of the U.S. government, entangled in public conflicts regarding federal law enforcement’s access to user data. While executives have positioned the company’s privacy protections as a cornerstone of its product suite, its pro-privacy legacy is somewhat compromised by the current CEO Tim Cook’s readiness to yield to foreign governments.

“Reasons Why Informed Consumers Choose This $75 iPad Case Instead of the Magic Keyboard”

If you’re aiming to improve your iPad usage, purchasing a keyboard is a wise decision. The Magic Keyboard Folio by Apple is a well-liked option due to its smooth compatibility with iPads, effectively converting them into laptop substitute devices. Nevertheless, it carries a steep price of $249 and does not include features such as a protective case or an Apple Pencil holder.

For those in search of a wallet-friendly alternative, the Logitech Slim Folio presents an attractive option. Available for only $75 on Amazon, it merges a keyboard with a protective case, offering comprehensive coverage for your iPad. Suitable for the iPad 10th Gen and iPad A16, it boasts a full-size keyboard that includes a specific row for iPad OS shortcuts, such as media controls and screen brightness modifications.

In contrast to the Magic Keyboard, the Slim Folio connects through Bluetooth Low Energy rather than the iPad’s Smart Connector. It necessitates manual pairing but will automatically disconnect when removed from the magnetic docking groove. This configuration guarantees that the keyboard is only active when required, defaulting to the virtual keyboard at other times.

The Slim Folio’s design enables the keyboard to stow behind the iPad for reading or drawing, offering versatility while protecting the device from all angles. Additionally, it features a slot for the Apple Pencil. Operated by two coin cell batteries, the Slim Folio can endure for up to three years with average usage, rendering it a practical and cost-effective choice for iPad users.
