Apple made a surprise announcement for AirPods Max users recently. The company says that a software update coming next month with iOS 18.4 will add lossless audio when using the included USB-C cable, along with ultra-low latency audio.

Lossless Audio Support on AirPods Max

Apple says, “With this update, AirPods Max will unlock 24-bit, 48 kHz lossless audio, preserving the integrity of original recordings and allowing listeners to experience music the way the artist created it in the studio. Lossless audio also extends to Personalized Spatial Audio to deliver a more sonically accurate, uncompressed, and immersive experience, and users can enjoy more than 100 million songs in lossless audio with Apple Music.”

Ultra-Low Latency for a Smoother Experience

The update will also bring support for ultra-low latency audio, which Apple says will “significantly” lower lag to a level that is “on par with the native built-in speakers on Mac, iPad, and iPhone.”

Apple adds, “Gamers and livestreamers can also benefit from ultra-low latency audio, which significantly lowers lag time, and is on par with the native built-in speakers on Mac, iPad, and iPhone. With no response delay, gameplay and livestreaming become reliably smooth and even more immersive for users.”

New USB-C to 3.5mm Cable for Wired Playback

The update will roll out in April as part of iOS 18.4, iPadOS 18.4, and macOS Sequoia 15.4, but these features will be exclusive to AirPods Max with USB-C. If you have the Lightning model, this might be a good reason to upgrade.

Alongside this, Apple has started selling a new USB-C to 3.5mm audio cable.

Wired Playback Support and Apple’s New Cable

Apple last year introduced AirPods Max with USB-C but with very few changes. These included –

New colours
USB-C port instead of Lightning
Support for Personalized Spatial Audio

That was it. Many users were disappointed, especially since the original Lightning AirPods Max supported wired playback with a special Lightning to 3.5mm cable, but the USB-C version did not.

Now, Apple is addressing that with the upcoming firmware update and the launch of the USB-C to 3.5mm audio cable.

The new cable costs $39 and is available now on the Apple Store.

Apple writes, “It can be used to connect AirPods Max to 3.5 mm audio sources, like the audio-out port on an airplane. Users can also connect their iOS or iPadOS device to 3.5 mm audio ports, like audio-in ports on car stereos or other speakers.”

If you want to connect your AirPods Max to a device using its included USB-C cable, that will work too. But if you need to connect to a 3.5mm headphone jack, this new cable is the way to go.

FAQs

Q1. What new features does the AirPods Max update bring?

Answer. The update adds 24-bit, 48 kHz lossless audio and ultra-low latency, improving sound quality and reducing lag for gaming and livestreaming.

Q2. What is the purpose of the new USB-C to 3.5mm cable for AirPods Max?

Answer. The $39 cable enables wired playback for USB-C AirPods Max, allowing connections to devices with a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Q3. Who will benefit from the latest Apple AirPods Max update and cable?

Answer. These features are exclusive to the USB-C AirPods Max, encouraging Lightning version users to consider upgrading.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge Launching in April With Rumoured 2K Display – Price, Specs and What to Expect

Team My Mobile

March 25, 2025

Highlights

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge launch is expected on April 16, 2025.
The pricing will most likely be between €1,200-€1,400 positioned above the S25+ but below the S25 Ultra.
Leaked Features – Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, 2K display, titanium frame, 3,900mAh battery, 200MP main camera and three colour options.

Samsung launched the Galaxy S25 series introducing the Galaxy S25, S25+ and S25 Ultra in January 2025. Now, the company is reportedly preparing to launch a fourth variant in the S25 Series, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge.

The phone was first teased at MWC 2025 and Samsung hasn’t officially confirmed the details yet. According to leaks, the S25 Edge will feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and a 3,900mAh battery. Here’s what we know about the phone so far.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge Launch Date and Expected Price

According to multiple reports circulating online, the Galaxy S25 Edge is expected to launch on April 16, 2025, with sales likely to begin in early May.

While Samsung hasn’t revealed the official pricing, leaks suggest the 256GB variant could be priced between €1,200 and €1,300 (approximately Rs 1,13,000 – Rs 1,22,500), while the 512GB model may cost between €1,300 and €1,400 (around Rs 1,22,500 – Rs 1,31,900).

This places the S25 Edge above the Galaxy S25+ but slightly below the S25 Ultra in terms of price. For reference Galaxy S25 starts at Rs 80,999, Galaxy S25+ starts at Rs 99,999 and the top variant Galaxy S25 Ultra starts at Rs 1,29,999.

Samsung S25 Edge Gets a 2K Display But There’s A Catch

Caption – Tipster Ice Universe’s recent post on Weibo. (Translated via Google Translate)

Popular tipster Ice Universe recently shared some new details about the Galaxy S25 Edge, which includes details of its 2K resolution display. If true, this would mean the screen quality of this variant will be on par with the S25+ and better than the standard S25.

However, there’s a catch!

Since the S25 Edge has a smaller battery than the base S25, the high-resolution display could drain power faster. Some users might prefer a lower resolution to balance battery life.

One exciting upgrade is the titanium alloy middle frame. Until now, titanium was exclusive to Samsung’s Ultra models, but the S25 Edge could be the first non-Ultra S-series phone to feature it.

Leaks suggest the phone will be available in three colour options, including –

Titanium Icy Blue
Titanium Silver
Titanium Jet Black

Netflix Now Supports HDR10+ for Better Picture Quality

Team My Mobile

March 25, 2025

Highlights

Netflix adds HDR10+ support to enhance picture quality with dynamic brightness and contrast adjustments.
Netflix pairs HDR10+ with the AV1 codec for smoother 4K streaming while conserving data and improving visuals for dark content.
Users will need a Netflix Premium subscription and compatible devices supporting HDR10+ and AV1.

Netflix is expanding its HDR options by adding support for HDR10+ alongside the existing HDR10 and Dolby Vision formats. This means viewers with compatible devices can enjoy even better picture quality, especially for Netflix’s often dark original content.

Announced in a detailed blog post, Netflix wrote, “HDR streaming has increased by more than 300%, while the number of HDR-configured devices watching Netflix has more than doubled. Since launching HDR with season one of Marco Polo, Netflix now has over 11,000 hours of HDR titles for members to immerse themselves in.”

What HDR10+ Brings to Netflix?

HDR10+ enhances visuals on a per-frame basis, adjusting brightness and contrast dynamically for a more lifelike experience. To enable this, Netflix is pairing HDR10+ with the AV1 codec, a compression technology designed to stream 4K video efficiently without consuming too much data.

Netflix initially introduced AV1 to help users save data while watching on mobile, but the same technology now ensures smooth streaming for large HDR files as well.

Who Can Watch in HDR10+?

Netflix has started rolling out HDR10+ support on select titles with plans to eventually expand it to all HDR content. To watch in HDR10+, you’ll need the following –

A Netflix Premium subscription
Show/Film must be available in HDR10+ format
A device that supports both HDR10+ and AV1 (most modern smartphones and tablets qualify)
For TV or streaming devices, ensure that the HDR toggle is enabled in Netflix application settings

Why Does HDR Matter?

After 4K resolution, high dynamic range (HDR) has become the next big thing in modern streaming. It improves contrast and makes bright and dark areas of an image more distinct. Many TV shows today are designed with HDR in mind, meaning that without it, some scenes may look too dark or washed out.

Netflix first introduced HDR in 2016 with Marco Polo and has since made Dolby Vision and HDR10 the standard.

If your TV already supports Dolby Vision, you may not notice much of a difference, but if it only supports HDR10+, this update will enhance your viewing experience.

FAQS

Q1. What does HDR10+ bring to Netflix?

Answer. HDR10+ dynamically adjusts brightness and contrast on a per-frame basis, enhancing visuals for a more lifelike streaming experience.

Q2. What do I need to watch Netflix in HDR10+?

Answer. You’ll need a Netflix Premium subscription and a device that supports both HDR10+ and the AV1 codec, such as modern smartphones and tablets.

Q3. Is HDR10+ available for all Netflix content?

Answer. HDR10+ support is rolling out for select titles and is planned to expand to all HDR content over time.

Amazon India is making a big move to support small businesses by eliminating referral fees on over 12 million products priced below ₹300 starting April 7. This is the company’s biggest fee reduction so far, aimed at helping sellers expand their selection and offer lower prices.

What’s Changing for Amazon Sellers?

The fee waiver will apply across 135+ product categories, including apparel, footwear, jewellery, groceries, home décor, beauty, toys, and kitchen essentials. Currently, sellers pay referral fees ranging from 2% to 16%, but this cost will now be removed for low-value products.

Amazon India is also making shipping more affordable for sellers using external fulfilment channels like Easy Ship and Seller Flex:

National shipping rates will drop from ₹77 to ₹65.
Weight handling fees for products under 1 kg will be reduced by up to ₹17.
Sellers shipping multiple units in one order could save up to 90% on the second unit’s selling fees.

Amit Nanda, Director of Selling Partner Services at Amazon India, explained that these changes are designed to reduce costs for sellers and help them compete better, especially for everyday low-priced products.

“As part of the continuing action to help sellers reduce their cost of doing business, we are now making a really large change in terms of the drop in selling fees on Amazon. [..] In the past also, we have made fee drops to help sellers. But they were more focused, and not as wide.” Nanda told ET. He also highlighted that referral and shipping fees account for nearly 90-95% of what sellers pay on the platform.

This move follows a fee reduction in August 2024, when Amazon lowered selling fees by 3% to 12% across 59 product sub-categories before the festive season.

Regulatory Challenges And Market Expansion

The fee cuts come at a time when Amazon India is under increasing regulatory scrutiny. In August 2024, the Competition Commission of India (CCI) found that both Amazon and Flipkart had violated antitrust laws by favouring select sellers. The case, which began in 2020, is now being heard by the Karnataka High Court.

Meanwhile, Amazon India continues to grow, hosting over 1.6 million sellers, 90% of whom are small and medium businesses. Over 50% of these sellers are based in tier II, III and IV cities.

In September 2024, Samir Kumar took over as Amazon India’s country manager replacing Manish Tiwary. The company also entered the quick-commerce space in December 2024, launching a 15-minute delivery service in Bengaluru.
