This week, iOS 13 arrived to all iOS devices and the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro has officially gone on sale as well. Next week, iOS 13.1 is expected to arrive on September 24 and will add Apple's CPU throttling feature to iPhone XR and iPhone XS users. For those unfamiliar, Apple first admitted it throttled CPUs on older iPhone in 2017, which sparked controversy, which ultimately prompted Apple to issue $29 out-of-warranty battery replacements for those affected. Apple's reasoning for the feature was to compensate for random shutdowns that iPhones would experience with a weak, aging...

Posted: 20 Sep 2019 08:00 PM PDT

Just yesterday, Huawei announced its Mate 30 lineup and as anticipated, it is launching without an official Google license due to the US trade ban that placed Huawei on a blacklist, barring American companies from doing business with the Chinese company.

Reworked Samsung Galaxy Fold goes through a durability test

Posted: 20 Sep 2019 08:20 AM PDT

Moving on some sand placed on the Fold's primary screen managed to...
