Posted: 07 Feb 2020 09:15 PM PST

The much anticipated (and well overdue) successor to the iPhone SE from 2016 is just around the corner, according to a bunch of leaks, rumors, and speculation we've seen about it in the past few months. Every bit of leaked info was pointing towards an introduction at some point during the first quarter of this year, and today we have something a little more concrete than that - but still not a solid date, mind you. According to renowned leakster Evan Blass, a.k.a. @evleaks, Apple is set to unveil the device in mid-March. There's been some confusion as to the naming, it's either going to be...

OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro rumored to launch in late March or April

Posted: 07 Feb 2020 07:21 PM PST

Back in 2019, OnePlus made the 7 and 7 Pro official in mid-May, but a new rumor says the company may be employing a different strategy this year. According to one Twitter leakster, we should expect to see the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro being launched either in late March, or sometime in April. That would signify a shift in strategy for the Chinese company, as apparently it's now trying not to come out with its new flagships too late after companies such as Samsung, Huawei, Oppo, and Xiaomi show their newest wares. Alleged OnePlus 8 render Obviously this is one rumor that you...

Apple fined €25 million in France for throttling iPhones via OTA updates

Posted: 07 Feb 2020 03:15 PM PST

It was long regarded that Apple (either jokingly or not) intentionally slowed down its phones right around the time a new one came out. Just over a couple of years ago, Apple admitted that it was, in fact, slowing the performance of older iPhones, but the reasons it brought forth were somewhat reasonable. Apple has agreed to pay the French Government €25 million in fines by the Paris Public Prosecutor's Office following its investigation of the complaint that iPhone users were not informed that iOS updates 10.2.1 and 11.2 would cause older devices to slow down. For lack of informing its...

Google Podcasts is now available on the web

Posted: 07 Feb 2020 12:35 PM PST

Google Podcasts has always been a bizarre product. The app has been around for a while but is only available on Android and has barely any features to speak of, especially compared to excellent alternatives like Pocket Casts. The service is now available on the web but is somehow even more brutally simple. There is no way to access your subscriptions on the website, so you have to manually search and play each episode. The website only remembers the episode you were playing, so you can continue playing it where you left off but that's pretty much it. This really limits...

Posted: 07 Feb 2020 11:12 AM PST

As the Motorola Razr is starting to roll off the shelves and into eager early buyer's hands a question begins forming - is the hinge durable? As with all foldables durability is suspect and, like with early Galaxy Fold's, the Motorola Razr is not without fault. CNET set up the Motorola Razr on a FoldBot machine, made by SquareTrade, with the intention of livestreaming the Razr being folded 100,000 times. It only got to 27,000. If we take one study's estimate that Americans check their phone 52 times a day then the Motorola Razr could begin showing hinge issues a year and a half into its...
