As you may already know, Motorola is busy working on the next iteration of its first foldable smartphone.

OnePlus 8 Pro won't get a successor this year, just the vanilla 8

Posted: 07 Sep 2020 09:00 PM PDT

The two 6.1-inch iPhone 12 will launch first, 5.4" and 6.7" to follow

Posted: 07 Sep 2020 08:04 PM PDT

According to the time frames of the SLP (substrate-like PCB) shipments, Digitimes was able to determine that two out of four iPhone 12 will hit the market earlier than the other two. This is a theory that Digitimes has been throwing around for quite some time and it's in contrast with other forecasts, one of which is from Bloomberg. All theories have one thing in common, though - not all four iPhone 12 will launch at the same time. Going by the info from the SLP suppliers, the two 6.1-inch iPhone 12 will make it in time - the Pro and the non-Pro variants of the 6.1-inch flavor. Their...
