October 25, 2025, 11:14 AM EDT. The Samsung Galaxy Watch FE LTE offers much of the Galaxy Watch 7 and Watch Ultra's functionality in a smaller form. Weighing 25.9g in a 40mm chassis, it delivers LTE for phone-free use and runs Wear OS 5.0 with Google apps. Its BioActive sensor tracks sleep, ECG, irregular heart rhythms, and blood oxygen, though it doesn't measure skin temperature. The processor is the same as the Watch 5/5 Pro, delivering responsive navigation, and sleep tracking is on par with other watches after a week of data. The smaller size makes the heart-rate sensor sit more securely during movement, but you lose some high-end capabilities and features found on the Ultra. Overall, a compelling option for those who want a compact, capable wearable without the bulk.

October 25, 2025, 11:04 AM EDT. Samsung has resumed the Android 16-based One UI 8 update for the Galaxy S23 lineup after earlier pauses. The rollout includes the October 2025 security patch and is about 385MB when updating from One UI 8 (larger from One UI 7). The update is currently rolling out in South Korea, with other markets to follow. For those who haven't upgraded yet, head to Settings > Software update > Download and install to get it. Some users reported battery life issues and a Bluetooth glitch, but Samsung's security page lists fixes. If you're curious about the Galaxy S23 FE's update, it may follow soon. Tarun Vats tracked the news on X via SamMobile.

October 25, 2025, 11:02 AM EDT. A UK Competition Appeals Tribunal ruling suggests Apple could owe up to $2 billion after a case over App Store fees affecting about 36 million iPhone and iPad users. The tribunal found Apple abused its dominant position by charging excessive commissions for iOS app distribution and in-app payments. Claimants argued consumers paid more for apps, subscriptions, and in-app purchases, while developers faced higher commissions. Apple said it would appeal the decision. Dr. Rachael Kent called it a landmark victory for App Store users. A hearing after 3 November 2025 will address costs, potential appeal, and how quantum is calculated. Apple notes the 30% commission applies to paid apps, 85% of apps pay no commission, and a program halves the rate for small businesses.

October 25, 2025, 10:44 AM EDT. Tesla Energy hints at a Solar Roof revival as it begins production of a residential solar panel in Buffalo, NY, with shipments to customers in Q1 2026. The update also shows strong demand for Megapack and Powerwall and introduces Megablock, shipping from Houston in 2026. Executives cite rising interest in AI/data-center applications and a surge in US residential solar driven by policy incentives and a new solar lease. While the Solar Roof struggled since its 2016 debut, Tesla stresses US manufacturing and industry-leading aesthetics as it hints at broader deployment, countering past reports of only ~3,000 installations.

October 25, 2025, 10:42 AM EDT. SpaceX capped a record year with its 135th orbital launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base, lifting off at 10:20 a.m. ET to place 28 Starlink satellites into LEO aboard a Falcon 9 booster. The mission marked the year's milestone, with every orbital flight this year completed by Falcon 9. The first stage, booster 1081, returned to a Pacific drone ship, 'Of Course I Still Love You', about 8.5 minutes after liftoff. The upper stage will deploy the satellites roughly an hour later. Earlier this week SpaceX logged the 139th liftoff of the year with Spainsat NG-2, as the company pushes Starship tests this year.
