Miami pharmacist who sexually abused girls in Colombia is off to prison, feds say
A Miami pharmacist will spend the rest of his life behind bars after he attempted to board a flight to Colombia to sexually abuse young girls, federal prosecutors say. Stefan Andres Correa, 42, was arrested in April 2024 at Miami International Airport after officers searched nine phones Correa had on him and inside his luggage. They found more than 100 videos of Correa having sex with more than 50 young girls — some as young as 9, court records show. Correa admitted that he was traveling to Bogota, Colombia, to sexually abuse minor girls. Officers, records show, uncovered text messages where Correa offered a sex trafficker $75 to sexually batter children between 10 to 12 years old. In March, Correa pleaded guilty to attempted sex trafficking of a minor and production of child sexual exploitation material. He was handed down his lengthy sentence on Friday by U.S. District Court Judge Beth Bloom. READ MORE: Miami pharmacist raped preteens, feds say. He paid to sexually abuse more in Colombia 'This prosecution and this sentence should serve as a warning to any predator who is trying to travel through our District to prey on children. We will find you and prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law,' U.S. Attorney Hayden P. O'Byrne said in the Southern District of Florida's news release. '...Predators such as Correa are a scourge upon humanity, and must be dealt with accordingly.' In messages with a sex trafficker, Correa said he would give a girl an iPhone XS Max, according to court documents. He, in another text, wrote, 'If she behaves, and takes good care of me, you can keep bringing her and you'll each get [$75].' When Correa spoke to investigators, he told them he had traveled to Colombia about 45 times to 'have sex with minors,' records show. In a letter to the judge, Correa said he was taking accountability for his actions — and stated that he 'had a unhealthy yet treatable sex drive.' Correa will be locked up at the Federal Correctional Institution Marianna, a medium-security prison in Florida's Panhandle. The case was investigated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Homeland Security Investigations agents in Miami, Cleveland, Ohio, and Bogota, Colombia. Assistant U.S. Attorney Lauren Astigarraga, the deputy chief of the major crimes division, prosecuted Correa. 'This investigation underscores the global and horrific nature of child sex trafficking and the importance of international cooperation to end it,' said Jose R. Figueroa, Acting Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Security Investigations Miami, in a news release.

Apple just gave another iPhone 'vintage' status — and that has big implications for repairability
Like a beautiful old car or your dad's long-serving leather jacket, the iPhone XS is officially "vintage," at least according to Apple. And that means a few things have changed. Alongside the 5th-gen iPad from 2017, the iPhone XS has been added to Apple's vintage products list now it has been "a minimum of 5 years from when Apple last distributed the product for sale." Apple itself stopped selling the iPhone XS in 2019, but other retailers kept the torch alive for a little longer, hence why the XS is only hitting vintage status seven years after it was first sold. The iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR, launched at the same time, were already on the list. Apple introduced the world to the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR in 2018. It was a big year for the iPhone, getting offered in three versions for the first time, including the first Max-sized iPhone, and setting the stage for the first pro iPhones the following year. But the smartphone industry keeps moving, and as the iPhone 16 series reigns supreme, with the iPhone 17 series edging closer, even once cutting-edge phones must be consigned to history. Vintage status doesn't stop the iPhone XS from getting repaired by Apple — but that will depend on if it has the parts available to do it. Similarly, while the iPhone XS received its last main software update with iOS 18, making it unable to upgrade to the newly announced iOS 26, Apple may still push out security updates if something needs to be addressed. It will be another two years until Apple declares the iPhone XS obsolete, when it will refuse to repair the phone. So the clock's ticking if you want to keep your XS going past that date. If you need an upgrade, our best iPhones list will guide you towards the ideal model for you available right now. But if you're hoping to upgrade to the latest model, then read up on the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max rumors so far while we wait for their likely September launch. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips.

Tap a time period to see your Activity graph for the last 24 hours, or a set number of days. You can also see a list of apps that contributed to your battery usage. And it'll display the amount of battery that was used by each individual app. You can see how long each app was in use on the screen, as well as in the background. Apple explains that you might see the following usage types: Background Activity means that most of the app's battery usage — such as playing music or tracking location — happened while the app was in the background. No Cell Coverage and Low Signal means that your device was searching for a signal or being used with a low signal. Connected to Charger means the app was used only when your device was charging. If you're worried about battery life and can't get to a charger right away, consider turning Low Power Mode on to preserve it. You can find this feature in your battery settings.
