iPhone saves Israeli soldier’s life, blocks bullet: Report
In 2021, a story was published about a highwayman shooting a gunman in Brazil, but his life was saved due to a Moto G5. Last year, a Ukrainian soldier blocked a bullet with an iPhone 11 Pro. Also, last March, a Ukrainian soldier posted a video online claiming that his Samsung phone saved his life.
In a recent development, a new story surfaced about an Israeli soldier who was at war with the Palestinian armed faction Hamas, whose life was saved thanks to his iPhone X.

After the story of an Israeli soldier who blocked a bullet thanks to an iPhone he kept in his clothes became known, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu gifted him a new phone.
In response, PM Netanyahu and Israeli Orthodox Rabbi Rabi Shai Graucher gifted a new Apple iPhone 15 to the soldier who survived and his colleagues and encouraged them, “You are our heroes, and we will win together.”
Because there was a thick case, it was not possible to stop the bullet with just the iPhone. Meanwhile, there have been many cases in the past where bullets were blocked with mobile phones placed inside clothes.
His phone literally STOPPED a bullet & saved his life.
So Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (@netanyahu) & Shai Graucher went to gift him with a new one.
“You are our heroes and together we will win"

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra to skip stacked battery, 65W charging
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra may not feature a stacked battery and 65W charging. Last April, it was reported that the company is developing advanced battery tech inspired by EVs for its mobile portfolio. However, the plan to bring it to Galaxy reportedly pushed to Galaxy S26 Ultra.
According to a rumor, Samsung canceled bringing stacked battery tech and 65W charging to Galaxy S25 Ultra. Now, it is planned for Galaxy S26 Ultra, which will arrive in 2026. The next Ultra flagship would continue 5000mAh conventional battery and 45W charging support.
Stacked battery tech would mean offering a higher energy density with a different arrangement of the cells. It will unlock even longer battery life for the Galaxy flagships. Meanwhile, Samsung fans won’t see advanced batteries in the flagship arriving next year.
The tipster mentioned that Samsung is skipping the new battery and faster charging in the S25 Ultra to reduce the cost. We’ve seen Chinese manufacturers bringing over 5000mAh battery to their recent flagships, however, Samsung still offers longer battery life.
As Snapdragon going more expensive this year, the South Korean tech giant considering expanding its Exynos to more Galaxies. The Galaxy S25 Ultra may use Snapdragon internationally could also be the reason behind the delay in stacked battery tech.
It seems that it was in the plan, but Samsung changed its mind, wanting to reduce costs and put the stacked battery and 65w charging speed in the S26U.
