A good celebrity endorser is hard to find. Nobody knows this better than Samsung, a company whose celebrity endorsement deals have so often gone awry. Not too long ago, LeBron James famously dissed the Samsung Galaxy S5 that he was supposed to be promoting, Ellen DeGeneres tweeted with an iPhone even though she was supposed to be using a Samsung smartphone, and Jay-Z did the same, appearing with an iPhone in hand shortly after signing a deal with Samsung.

Now it’s happened again.

Just days after Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine went on stage to promote Milk Music at a Samsung event in New York City, he was caught tweeting from an iPhone. The Voice coach tweeted that he and his friends would be on The Ellen Show on Monday, September 8. The tweet was posted at 11 a.m. EST and appears to have been removed. Levine reposted the tweet around 2:25 p.m. EST minus the “via Twitter for iPhone” stamp.

To make matters worse, Levine famously said that he and his fellow band mate would have a “ceremonial iPhone burning” after the Samsung event last week. So either Samsung hasn’t given Levine his new Galaxy Note 4 yet, or he was just being ironic about the whole iPhone burning thing.

Apple releases multiple iPhones every year, offering folks choice in terms of size and features. In 2024, the iPhone 15 lineup includes four distinct models.

The regular iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are great for those who don’t need a telephoto lens and don’t care about the Action button or the 1TB of storage. But anyone who wants a more “pro” experience has the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

iPhone SE 4: news, rumored price, release date, and more
The Apple iPhone SE (2022) and Apple iPhone SE (2020) together.

While the spotlight always seems to be on Apple’s mainline iPhones, the iPhone SE is a great pick for those who are on a budget. If you want an iPhone that doesn't break the bank, the SE is the way to go.

The original iPhone SE came out in 2016, and then Apple revamped it in 2020 and 2022 by giving it some more modern hardware. The iPhone SE tends to get updated every two or so years rather than annually like the traditional iPhone. This means  that we should see a new iPhone SE 4 this year, but it’s not so cut-and-dried with this particular model.
