Pocket Casts podcast app is under new ownership once again
The popular podcast app for Android and iOS, Pocket Casts, has now been purchased by the owners of Tumblr and WordPress.com.
Pocket Casts is one of the most popular podcast apps on Android and iOS, with a history stretching back years. However, Pocket Casts eventually had to figure out how to make enough money to support the ever-increasing development costs — or find a new owner willing to pay the bills. The app was purchased by a consortium of public radio groups in 2018, but only three years later, the group was looking to sell Pocket Casts. Now the app has been purchased by Automattic, the company best known for WordPress.com and Gravatar.
Samsung Galaxy A12 Review: Slow and steady does not win this race
This budget phone might have a large screen, decent cameras, and a high-capacity battery, but it's sluggish to the point of frustration.
Samsung first showed off the Galaxy A12 and Galaxy A02s in November last year, and in the following months, it was gradually released in India and other regions. The phone has been available in the United States for a while now, and since we've had a look at most of Samsung's other US budget phones, we thought now was as good a time as any to give the A12 a shot.

Android 11 could be landing soon on the OnePlus Nord N10
The OnePlus Nord N10 may finally get its long-awaited (and final) OS update to Android 11. A user with a Metro device has gotten the update.
OnePlus has fallen behind with software updates over the past few years, with its previous-generation flagship phones usually taking months to get the newest major Android OS updates. Security patches also aren't as frequent as they are for most devices from Google and Samsung. Even though the speed of updates probably won't change, OnePlus did promise to deliver more updates for most of its phones earlier this month, and now the OnePlus Nord N10 5G is starting to receive its first (and only) Android OS upgrade.
Belkin's MagSafe chargers for the iPhone 12 are 14-17% off right now

Two of those are Belkin's magnetic charger and charging stand, which are now on sale at Amazon for $24.99 and $29.99, respectively. That's $5 off the normal prices.

Logitech's MX Master 3 is one of the best computer mice you can buy right now, thanks to its wireless connectivity, software features, and ergonomic design. The mouse was on sale for $80 back in May, a rare $20 reduction from the normal price, but now the MX Master 3 is once again on sale for $80 at Staples.
OnePlus has been running a few sales over the past few weeks across its entire range of phones. Earlier this month, the company discounted the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro by $30 and $40, respectively. That wasn't much of a discount unless you were already planning on buying the phones, but now there are much better sales on both devices.
Google's Pixel 4 is nearly two years old at this point, but it's still a capable Android phone with a clean software experience and regular security patches. The smaller Pixel 4 was originally priced at $799, and has gone on sale many times since release, but now you can pick one up for $399.00 at multiple stores. That's $400 off the original price, and one of the lowest prices we've seen for the phone yet in new condition.
OnePlus won't sell the base model OnePlus 9 Pro in the US and Canada
OnePlus confirmed today that it will not sell the 8GB RAM + 128GB storage model of the OnePlus 9 Pro in North America.
The OnePlus 9 series was released earlier this year, with two models for most regions: the cheaper OnePlus 9, and the pricier OnePlus 9 Pro with an upgraded camera array and (slightly) larger screen. However, the entry-level OnePlus 9 Pro was continuously delayed, leaving anyone looking for a sub-$1,000 OnePlus phone to buy the non-Pro model. Now the company has confirmed the base OnePlus 9 Pro will never be available in the United States and Canada.
Firefox 90 is here with loads of improvements for desktop and Android
Firefox 90 is rolling out now to Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android with impressive performance gains and better auto-fill.
Firefox is one of the few remaining browsers with its own rendering engine, as Opera, Brave, Edge, and others now utilize Google's Chromium engine. That means Mozilla can try out new improvements and rendering changes that Google might not be interested in, and as more of the browser is rewritten in the Rust programming language, Firefox becomes faster and faster. Mozilla is now rolling out version 90 of the Firefox browser on both desktop and Android platforms with some helpful improvements.
Apple has a new MagSafe Battery Pack for the iPhone 12 series
Apple has a new MagSafe-compatible portable battery that sticks to the back of an iPhone 12, but it will cost you almost a hundred bucks.
Apple finally replaced the Lightning connector on the iPhone 12 last year, but not in the way some were expecting. Instead of adopting the industry-standard USB Type-C connector, Apple combined Qi wireless charging with magnets to create MagSafe, borrowing the name from earlier MacBook chargers. The new technology has led to a surge in iPhone accessories that attach to phones without adhesive or clips, and now Apple has released yet another MagSafe product: a battery pack.
