Swiss retailer <a href="https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/product/samsung-galaxy-a25-5g-128-gb-blue-black-650-dual-sim-50-mpx-5g-smartphone-40057696">Digitec</a> recently shared key insights into the upcoming Samsung Galaxy A25, confirming a price tag of CHF 279, approximately $320 or &euro;300. This disclosure also solidifies the device's scheduled shipping date on December 18, specifically for the 6/128 GB memory variant.
The listing, <a href="https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_a25_store_listing_confirms_launch_date_and_price-news-60844.php">as reported by GSMarena</a>, sheds light on a second version of the Galaxy A25 that is in the works. This alternative model is expected to feature 8 GB RAM and 256 GB storage, though its availability in Switzerland remains unconfirmed, with prospects of it reaching other countries.
<a href="https://www.technobezz.com/news/samsung-s-galaxy-s24-series-leaks-showcase-s-pen-s-sleek-design/">Leaks and reports</a> indicate that the Galaxy A25 will support 5G connectivity and house an Exynos 1280 chipset. Boasting a 6.5&rdquo; OLED screen, the device cleverly integrates the fingerprint scanner into the side power key for user convenience.
One notable feature is the substantial 5,000 mAh battery, complemented by 25W charging support. However, Samsung has chosen not to include an adapter in the retail box, providing only a USB-C cable for charging. As the launch date nears, the Samsung Galaxy A25's competitive features and <a href="https://www.technobezz.com/news/samsung-s-style-makeover-galaxy-s25-set-to-redefine-the-look/">user-friendly design</a> is becoming a notable contender in the smartphone arena.

<a href="https://www.technobezz.com/i-os-17-rumors-and-concept-showcase-exciting-features-ahead-of-apple-s-announcement/">Apple's new iOS 17.2 update</a> has left music fans feeling disappointed because the Collaborative Playlists feature in Apple Music, has been taken out. This means people won't be able to use it until at least 2024, which is a long time to wait.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The feature, first revealed during Apple's WWDC in June, initially appeared in the beta version of iOS 17.2. But it was suddenly taken out in the fourth beta version, indicating that Apple is dealing with some problems. <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2023/12/05/apple-music-collaborative-playlists-delayed/">Insights from 9to5Mac suggest</a> that Apple decided to pull collaborative playlists from iOS 17.2 due to concerns about potential abuse and spam. To counter these challenges, Apple is introducing new measures, including limiting the number of "pending requests" a playlist owner can entertain.
This has made users wonder about what kinds of problems could happen. To make a collaborative playlist, users need to turn on a feature that lets them control who can use it &ndash; this is important to prevent any bad behavior. Without this control, playlists could be open to unauthorized changes, spam, or harmful content. Apple's work to make playlists more secure and give users more control seems really needed in this situation.&nbsp;&nbsp;<img style="font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; width: 644px;" src="https://cdn.technobezz.com/c/Apple_Music_Collaborative_Playlist_feature_e376bccc2b/Apple_Music_Collaborative_Playlist_feature_e376bccc2b.jpeg" alt="" width="300px" height="200px" />
The problem is even worse because people were really looking forward to Collaborative Playlists being <a href="https://www.technobezz.com/news/apple-s-latest-crucial-updates-keep-your-devices-safe-from-web-threats/">an important part of iOS 17.</a> But since the year is ending soon, it's increasingly unlikely that this feature will be included in iOS 17.2. People are guessing about when the next updates might come out &ndash; maybe there will be a smaller update before the end of the year, but the big changes will probably wait for iOS 17.3. Looking at how Apple released previous versions, it seems like the first test version of iOS 17.3 might not come out until next year.&nbsp;&nbsp;
As Apple deals with these problems, it's obvious that <a href="https://music.apple.com/us/browse">Apple Music</a> users are really unhappy. The fact that Collaborative Playlists aren't in iOS 17.2 shows that Apple didn't keep the promises they made before. People are hoping that Collaborative Playlists will come back in a later update, but they might have to wait until iOS 17.3 for it.&nbsp;&nbsp;
