Rakuten files antitrust complaint against Apple in Europe

Posted: 16 Jun 2020 08:22 AM PDT

Rakuten is yet another company that files an antitrust complaint in Europe against Apple. It follows Spotify and Netflix, which have previously complained about Apple's policies. They argue that the 30% cut that App Store gets for each purchase or subscription is way too high. Apple responds by saying that the 30% tax goes for maintaining and managing the App Store. Rakuten's complaint isn't all that different. The store says that while the App Store takes 30% of each purchase, it also promotes Apple's own Apple Books service. Same with Apple Music and Spotify, the Cupertino-based...

Redmi K40 (or Mi CC10) spotted at the 3C with 33 W fast charger

Posted: 16 Jun 2020 06:49 AM PDT

Considering that Xiaomi launches a new Redmi K generation every six months or so and the Redmi K30 Pro came out in March, we're not far off the Redmi K40 reveal. First things first, though - certifications. The 3C certified a Xiaomi phone with a model name M2006J10C. It will come with the MDY-11-EX charger, the 33W power brick that is bundled with the Redmi K30 Pro along with several other phones. So this could be the Redmi K40 (Pro). Another possibility is that this is the mysterious "CAS" phone, which may become the Xiaomi Mi CC10. It surfaced earlier this month with claims that it...

OnePlus Nord 5G (aka OnePlus Z) may have four cameras on its back

Posted: 16 Jun 2020 06:03 AM PDT

OnePlus Nord 5G - allegedly the retail name of the OnePlus Z (previously known 8 Lite) - will have a quad-camera, teases leakster Max J. Initially, renders showed a dual camera, then rumors claimed a triple cam, now we're up to a quad setup. Back when the rumors were claiming a triple cam, the breakdown was a 64 MP main (some sources claimed 48 MP), 16 MP ultrawide and a 2 MP module (likely a depth sensor). The fourth module may be a macro camera as putting a telephoto lens on the "lite" model (even if it's not named as such) doesn't make sense. For comparison, the vanilla OnePlus 8 has...

Posted: 16 Jun 2020 04:33 AM PDT

The saga between the United States and the Chinese manufacturer Huawei took an unexpected turn after the US Commerce Department announced it will allow some cooperation with American companies. Although Huawei will remain on the entity list, now an amendment will allow American companies to disclose US technologies to the Chinese telecom giant without requiring a license if it is for the purpose of 5G standards development.

Posted: 15 Jun 2020 05:13 PM PDT

Google's Pixel 3a and 3a XL launched last year on May 7. We have been eagerly waiting for the Pixel 4a to arrive this year, with rumors initially suggesting that Google was going to announce it during Google I/O. That event was cancelled due to the pandemic, and the phone kept getting further delayed. Photos of the phone's retail packaging leaked back in early-April and we're already more than two months since then. The latest report comes from Jon Prosser via Twitter. According to the tipster, the Google Pixel 4a has been again delayed after the phone was expected to be announced sometime...

Posted: 15 Jun 2020 02:55 PM PDT

Posted: 15 Jun 2020 09:28 AM PDT

Samsung's One UI 2.1 might be the last major update the Galaxy S9 and S9+ will receive and the OTA is now being pushed to users in Germany and South Korea.

For instance, you can now share things quickly with other Samsung owners, similar to Apple's AirDrop function. You can even share your Bluetooth audio stream so other friends can tune in and play their own music through your phone, which in turn is connected to the audio device. The camera app has also...
