Recently, we’ve entered an exciting collaboration with Maple Media, creating a bundle of 17 apps worth having on your phone. From relaxed fun to serious productivity boosts, these apps cover all your bases and provide a fun boost to your phone. Normally, the bundle is $9.99 per month (far lower than the cost of using the apps individually), but for your first 7 days you can get access to the bundle for free.

View the full Digital Trends App Bundle for a complete list of the apps, or read on for a summarized take.

If you want to know the details of each app in the bundle, the announcement linked above will have all of them described in detail. The apps, which have a collected 50 million+ downloads with over 900,000 reviews, are already quite popular and well known in the first place. But what’s the main draw of the bundle? Getting such a well-rounded collection for such a low price. Instead of a bundle of, say, map apps, you’re getting just about every type of app you could ever want, across many categories. Here’s how I’d break them down and a look at some of my favorites in each category:

What's happened? This week, China's Quality Certification Center released information about a battery (EB-BS04898ABY) with a maximum capacity of 4,855mAh. That's the same capacity as was previously seen in the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, and fans have taken this certification to mean the Galaxy S26 Ultra will not see a capacity increase after all.

The Samsung Galaxy Ultra models have had the same battery capacity for the last five years.

What's happened? Samsung has officially announced the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite, a budget-friendly alternative to the Galaxy Tab S10. The device has been rumored for months, but this is the first time Samsung has officially acknowledged its existence.

The Galaxy Tab S10 Lite will have a 10.9-inch display and a peak brightness of 600 nits — a bit on the lower side, versus the iPad Pro's maximum brightness of 1,600 nits.

People that shop at Costco love to talk about being in Costco. Part of that is because it's pretty great, and part of that is because its at least mildly exclusive. There's really no point in showing up at a Costco without a membership. So, because we think Sam's Club and Costco just might be your ticket to more affordable tech during tariff uncertainties, we've been searching for way to get you into Costco cheaper.

What we found was a pair of Groupon deals that sell you the Gold Star or Executive memberships at their regular price but give you $50 Costco shop cards alongside additional bonuses. When you do the math, this makes the $65 per year Gold Star membership effectively just $15 and the $130 per year Executive membership just $80.
