I know what mine is; it is the Pixel 5. Perhaps an obvious answer, but it truly is the phone that stands out to me the most over my many years of buying and using smartphones. Sure, HTC offered some very slick devices back in the Windows Mobile days, but if I were hard-pressed to name the one phone that stands above all others, at least in my opinion, the Pixel 5 is it. It was incredibly affordable while offering stock Android, which was a big deal at the time of bloated UIs from the competition, and frankly, it was the perfect size, pocketable yet usable, something I truly miss even in 2024.
But after all of these years, what phone stood out to you as your favorite? What still sticks in your memory as the phone no one has been able to beat?
Apparently, YouTube Premium users across the world have been receiving emails about impending price hikes. Those in Ireland, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Italy will see higher fees across the service, including family plans, and Switzerland and Sweden will see higher Family subscriptions, with the Middle East, Singapore, Thailand, and Indonesia receiving higher Premium prices. And this is just what has been reported by users, so expect more territories to get hit (read more in the linked article).
But with this change, we here at AP have been wondering how many users will be canceling their YouTube Premium plans when the higher fees drop? It's not like YouTube Premium is priced very well to begin with, with many taking issue with the cost not reflecting what you get (especially if you don't need YouTube Music) and rising fees sure won't help this situation. So, will you be one of the people dropping the service or do you feel the higher fees are justified?
There is no denying that Google is pushing Gemini into every space it can muster, from Messages to Gmail, there is no getting away from it. Sure, there is also the app, as well as a subscription tier for the app, but it would seem Google feels we all need some convincing to use its AI by shoving the service into everything. So this got me thinking: perhaps few are actually using Gemini, which is why I wanted to ask. How often do you use Gemini, or do you even use it at all? Hit the comments, as I have a sneaking suspicion nobody is all that interested in AI.
Sure, I've used wireless charging here and there, but I can't say it is something I've actually sought out. That is until I picked up my Pixel 9 Pro. Now, I own a primary device that can not only take advantage of Qi2 charging but also wirelessly charge devices on its own, like the Pixel Buds. That's pretty slick in my book, so I'm finally wirelessly charging things like a madman. So what about you? Do you feel that Qi2 wireless charging is worthwhile, or are you disappointed with the slower charging speeds compared to wired? Hit the comments below to share your use case or why you're still shying away from Qi2 charging.
I can't help but get annoyed I can't really use Adobe's products on my phone. I can technically, but they're so incredibly limited and not optimized.
I feel like this would be an absolute game-changer. It's something I keep hoping to hear from any brand at their conference, but never do. fingers crossed for Samsung Unpacked. What's a feature that would be a game-changer for you that you've always wished for?
Nowadays, we all look at our phones first thing in the morning. I know I do. Studies tell us we shouldn’t, but we do. We want to be connected to the world as soon as we wake up. We want to be plugged into what's going around us, even as awful as that can be sometimes. You wake up, and you scan to see what's happened overnight. After all, a lot can happen in 8 (hopefully) hours. So, which app is it that you open first thing? Is it some kind of social media app, do you answer a few emails, or simply solve the Wordle for the day before it's time to set out to work?
