#### 1. **Apologies for the Delay**
First things first—let’s address why we’ve been away. We didn’t post a video for nine days! You might be wondering, “Why the long gap?” Well, here’s the sad truth: Brian, our editor, and his wife experienced multiple family deaths this past week. It was a tough and emotional time for him. Please show some love and support in the comments below. We’re back now, though, so let’s get into the tech news.

#### 2. **Apple's iPhone Battery Innovation**
Story number one today is about Apple. You know, the company that continues to surprise us with its battery innovations. Currently, the iPhone 10R holds the title for the best battery life of any iPhone ever. But guess what? The upcoming iPhone 11R is set to outdo it because Apple is giving it an even bigger battery!
According to reports, the iPhone 11R will feature a whopping **3110 milliamp-hour (mAh)** battery. That’s a **5.7% increase** compared to the iPhone 10R, which has a **2942 mAh** battery. This upgrade means you can spend an extra 5.7% of time doing… well, whatever you do on your phone. You know what we’re talking about—those of you watching this while on the toilet (shhh, don’t pretend you aren’t).
By the way, we just made “#ToiletSquad” a thing. SomeYouTubers have “#NotificationSquad,” but now *you* are part of the #ToiletSquad. You’re welcome.

#### 3. **Mozilla’s New Firefox Update: Paid VPN Service**
Next up, let’s talk about Mozilla and its recent announcement regarding Firefox. You might have come across an article claiming that Mozilla is making you pay for Firefox. But hold on—don’t panic! That’s not the case.
What’s actually happening is that Mozilla is introducing a **paid VPN service** through Firefox. This isn’t about forcing users to pay for the browser itself but rather offering a premium VPN (Virtual Private Network) service, similar to ProtonVPN, which costs $10 per month.
This move makes sense for Mozilla—it’s diversifying its income streams while providing users with a more native and integrated VPN experience. So, would you be willing to pay extra for this convenience? Or do you prefer sticking with your current VPN? Let us know in the comments!

#### 4. **PureVPN Promotion: Take Back Control**
Speaking of VPNs, we’re teaming up with PureVPN to help you take back control of your internet experience. With over **2000 servers in 140+ countries**, PureVPN lets you surf the web anonymously and follow your own rules, not someone else’s.

(Warning: The hosts then start rambling about money and how much they like it.)

#### 5. **Google Photos and Drive Syncing Changes**
Finally, let’s talk about something that might affect your workflow—Google Photos and Google Drive syncing options. For a while now, you’ve been able to sync photos and videos between these two services, but guess what? Those days are numbered.
Starting in July, any new photos or videos you add to either Google Photos or Google Drive **won’t show up** on the other platform. This applies to deletions as well—deleting something from one service won’t automatically delete it from the other.
Apparently, this change is happening because it was confusing and complicated for users. So, if you rely on this syncing feature (like we do), make sure to organize your files before July. Otherwise, you might end up with duplicate content or lose track of where your photos are stored.

#### 6. **Closing Thoughts**
And that’s all the news from today’s show. We hope you learned something and found it as entertaining as we did while putting it together. If you enjoyed the episode, don’t forget to hit that like button (or dislike if you’re feeling extra). And if you’re new here, subscribe for more daily tech updates.
Oh, and one last thing: The hosts decided they’re done because… well, they ran out of “francs” (they probably meant “franks,” but it’s too late to fix now). So this is the end of the episode. See you in nine days—because that’s how long it took us to recover from Brian’s family drama.
