It was about time for the Apple Vision Pro disassemblies to arrive. The two videos below are from JerryRigEverything and iFixit and end up at the same goal - opening up the Vision Pro and disassembling it in individual parts - but the way to getting there is contrasting. It should come as no surprise that the Vision Pro isn't easy to open up and repair. First, detach the power cable (twist and turn), then the knit band (there are pull tabs), the magnetically attached face cushion, and the light seal. The speaker stems are removed with a SIM eject tool. There are no visible screws, and the...

The Realme 12 Pro+ battery test results are in and they look good. The device runs on a standard 5,000 mAh battery, just like its predecessor, but the new Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 should, in theory, offer better overall efficiency. And for the most part, the real life tests prove that to be true. The Realme 12 Pro+ has slightly longer battery life with improved talk time and web browsing. However, the Active Use Score is only slightly higher than last year's Realme 11 Pro because there's no change in the video playback time and the gaming endurance is more than an hour...

Google officially stopped sticking to its "first Monday of the month" schedule for releasing Android updates last year, but here we are on a first Monday of a month and - you guessed it - there's a new update out.
