iPhone XI cases show a Lightning port, offer another look at the square camera hump

Posted: 25 Jun 2019 06:00 AM PDT

There were rumors that the iPhone XI models will follow the iPad Pros and drop Lightning in favor of a USB-C connector. Renders of Olixar cases posted by MobileFun pour cold water on our hopes, however. The case shows only a small hole at the bottom, not big enough to fit the larger USB-C plug. Apple's 2019 iPad models also use Lightning, so it's clear that Cupertino isn't ready to make the switch yet. A prominent feature on the case is the square cutout for the camera hump - it's not the prettiest design. If you were hoping that this rumor was also false, it's time to start...

Samsung Galaxy S10 5G sells 1 million units in South Korea alone

Posted: 24 Jun 2019 10:00 AM PDT

Samsung is reportedly dominating the 5G market in South Korea with over 1 million Galaxy S10 5G units sold 80 days of its availability. If we divide the total number by the days on the market we get an estimate of 15,000 Galaxy S10 5G's sold per day. In comparison LG has reportedly sold 280,000 V50 ThinQ 5G's since May 10. That's still a strong number, but nowhere near what the Samsung flagship managed. The 5G revolution started in South Korea but you can already get a Galaxy S10 5G in the UK through EE and Vodafone and in the US through Verizon and Sprint. Source | Via
