November 11, 2025, 11:32 AM EST. Starting March 1, 2026, Google Play Store will display warnings on app listings for conservative battery-draining behavior. These warnings may reduce an app's visibility in discovery surfaces, potentially decreasing installs. The trigger is that more than 5% of an app's sessions in the last 28 days exceed the bad behavior threshold: sessions with over 2 cumulative hours of non-exempt wake locks in a 24-hour period. Developers will see a warning on the Android vitals overview and have until March to address issues before the metric-excessive partial wake locks-is treated as a core technical quality metric. Excluded from prominent discovery, such apps could still be found via searches, but overall visibility will shift to those with better power efficiency. The change underscores a push to help users save battery and encourage performance optimizations.

November 11, 2025, 11:30 AM EST. New reports claim Apple has indefinitely delayed the iPhone Air 2, removing it from upcoming schedules per The Information, with insiders citing lower-than-expected sales.

November 11, 2025, 11:28 AM EST. An AI-created artist, Breaking Rust, tops Billboard's Country Digital Song Sales chart with 'Walk My Walk,' a first for the genre. The cowboy behind the hit exists only as synthetic content, with millions of streams and social followers but no verifiable human footprint. Breaking Rust built momentum on Instagram clips and now commands over 2 million monthly Spotify listeners, with 'Livin' on Borrowed Time' surpassing 4 million plays. Though not leading Billboard's Hot Country Songs, the milestone signals growing acceptance of AI-generated music in mainstream country. Earlier AI acts like Velvet Sundown have drawn attention for large listenership. Credits point to Aubierre Rivaldo Taylor, an obscure figure tied to Breaking Rust and another AI project, fueling debates about authorship, transparency, and the need for guardrails as AI music expands.
