In its normal fashion, Nothing has been everything except clear with its teasers about the upcoming Nothing Phone 3a, and now a new rumor suggests it might borrow one of the iPhone’s best features. So far, Nothing has confirmed only that the Phone 3a is on the way and that more will be revealed at its March 4 conference, and the latest teaser post only adds to the mystery.
The shared image depicts a button on the side of the phone beneath the power button. For reference, Nothing has always kept its power button and volume rockers on opposite sides of the handset. Unless the Nothing Phone 3a is undergoing a massive design change, the picture indicates a new button is coming with this latest release, and many fans suspect it is a dedicated camera shutter button.

Of course, the caption does lend a bit of credence to that theory. “Your second memory, one click away. Power in perspective.” The use of “perspective” would fit the camera button idea, and if it’s correct, this button could be used to do everything from opening the camera app to snapping a photo.
A few weeks ago, Nothing shared another teaser post with a Pokémon on it, although what exactly that means isn’t quite clear. Some fans believe it can be an indicator of a model number, while others think it was nothing more than a ploy to generate hype and excitement for the next release. Nothing is holding a press conference on March 4 at the Mobile World Congress event where it will reveal all the details you’ve been waiting for, including specs, battery capacity, and much more.
There are still a lot of information we don’t know about this next phone, but stay tuned here and we’ll update you as we find out more.

The OnePlus 13 has already set an impossible standard for Android phones in 2025
Four weeks into the first month of the year, one thing is clear about smartphones in 2025: this is going to be an extremely competitive year. Whereas some phone makers used to wait until February or March to launch their flagships for the first half of the year, the early launch of the Snapdragon 8 Elite last year has seen all companies launch their products early.
Honor launched the Magic 7 Pro two weeks ago, followed by Samsung with the Galaxy S25 series last week. Before both of these, however, was the launch of the OnePlus 13, a phone that I think is setting the standard for smartphones in 2025 in so many ways.

There’s a secret way to free up 7GB of storage in your iPhone
If you constantly run out of space on your iOS device, you could free up as much as 7GB of data just by disabling Apple Intelligence. The iOS 18.3, iPadOS 18.3, and macOS Sequoia 15.3 updates released this past week enabled Intelligence by default, but it isn’t a requirement — and if you don’t want to use it or would prefer the free space, you can turn it off.
On average, Apple Intelligence requires around 7GB of storage space regardless of platform. The reason for this relatively large requirement — especially when the operating system itself takes up a decent amount of storage — is because Apple runs the Intelligence features on-device. This ensures greater levels of security, but it also means less memory. This is a 7GB requirement per device, according to MacRumors.

Here’s our closest look at the iPhone SE 4 yet
In recent months, there have been conflicting rumors about what to expect from the upcoming iPhone SE 4. However, the latest rumor may have clarified some of these uncertainties.
Leaker Majin Bu (via MacRumors) recently took to X to share mockup images (and a video) of the next budget iPhone. According to these images, the iPhone SE 4 will feature a traditional notch instead of the Dynamic Island that previous reports suggested. To the left of the notch, there appears to be a selfie camera and a single-lens rear camera. The images also indicate that the phone will have a glass back and an aluminum frame.
