A lot of things wind up here that you don’t need. That game you downloaded on a whim and haven’t played in months? In Safari on an iPhone, go to settings > Safari and look for Clean History and website data. Particularly the free ones that constantly track your activity and drain the battery. But resolutions can also be set to improve the health of your tech devices. I deleted TikTok and the 613 megabytes of data it doesn’t need.

The iQOO 9 SE 5G is a solid option for folks looking for a performance-driven device. The Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G features a 200MP primary rear camera with OIS.

Of course, Redmi Note devices have always been the budget kings, but this year around, the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ became the first Note to cross the Rs 30,000 price point. The iQOO 9 SE 5G is a solid mid-range option for folks who want a performance-driven smartphone. If the Nothing Phone 1 has unique looks, the Google Pixel 6a has the best camera system in the mid-range price segment. Barring aside the Pixel 6A, the iQOO 9 SE also provides a better camera system than many of its peers, a solid multimedia experience - thanks to the capable E4 AMOLED display and loud stereo speakers, and a largely bloatware-free software experience. The Nothing Phone 1 was probably the most unique-looking device of 2022, and it will be safe to say that the phone will be retaining its "unique design" title entering 2023. Here is a list of the best options you can consider this January.

Professional photographers have long used the RAW format and editing software to turn image files into gorgeous pictures — and you can, too.

For those using iPhones and iPads for editing, you could also consider the apps [Halide Mark II](https://halide.cam/), [Darkroom](https://darkroom.co/) and [RAW Power](https://www.gentlemencoders.com/raw-power-for-ios/index.html). [Photo app to edit RAW files](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211965). [JPEG](https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/file-types/image/raster/jpeg-file.html) or [HEIC](https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/file-types/image/raster/heic-file.html) files, which crunch down and discard some of the image data to reduce the file size. Adobe’s site has [a tutorial](https://helpx.adobe.com/ca/lightroom-cc/how-to/raw-file-mobile-photo-editor-app.html), as do many websites specializing in digital photography. In the settings, go to “Format and advanced options” and tap the button for RAW copies. The Snapseed app, which is free and works on both [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.niksoftware.snapseed&hl=en_US&gl=US) and [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/snapseed/id439438619), has a support site with [an online tutorial](https://support.google.com/snapseed/answer/6312515?hl=en) and an [instructional video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jT6rNJBtJw0) on YouTube for beginners. Now all you have to do is tap on the shutter button to save the file to the camera roll. Next, tap the button next to RAW + JPEG control. A 48-megapixel file allows for photos with good detail even with significant cropping, but the file size of each photo can be 75 megabytes or larger. On iPhone 14 Pro models, you can choose the resolution to store your RAW files: 12 megapixels or a whopping 48 megapixels. There are many specialized camera tools that capture and edit RAW files available in the app stores. However, when you choose to capture images as [RAW files](https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/file-types/image/raw.html), you get uncompressed and unprocessed data from the camera’s sensor.

While some of these issues are directly related to use of social media apps like Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, smartphone addiction is known to keep children inside and lead to the development of poor habits. It is estimated that Americans spend an average of five hours on their smartphone each day - and while some agree that is too much, the amount people should spend on the device each day is still up for debate.
