 In this talk, I will discuss soft photon QED effects on the various observables such as  $R_K$ and $R_D$. I will show that, in general, collinear logs can enhance the corrections but by choosing the kinematical variables in a photon-inclusive way, these collinear divergences can be removed. Furthermore, I will demonstrate that the newly proposed observable, $\frac{|V_{ub}|}{|V_{cb}|}$, is robust against these QED  effects. Additionally, I will discuss radiative inclusive $B$ decays, specifically $B \to X_u \ell \nu_{\ell}\gamma$, and an efficient complementary method to calculate the non- perturbative parameters $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$.
