Posted: 30 Nov 2020 06:51 PM PST

We're assuming this will work in concert with Samsung's SmartThings Find feature, which was unveiled recently. SmartThings Find can find compatible Galaxy products with more accuracy, and the upcoming Galaxy Smart Tag is going to be one of those. But also, based on the name, it's most likely to be a smart object tracker, to compete with Tile. The Galaxy Smart Tag was certified by the Indonesian authorities with the model...

Posted: 30 Nov 2020 01:37 PM PST

Apple has just been fined €10 million (about $12 million) in Italy because of the way it advertises water resistance for its devices. Italy's antitrust authority doesn't like how "aggressive and misleading" Apple's commercial practices are, regarding its iPhones and their water resistance ratings. The regulator said in a statement that Apple advertises iPhones as water resistant without clarifying that they are only so under certain circumstances. It added that the company is tricking its customers through its disclaimers, which say that phones aren't covered by warranty in case of...

Posted: 30 Nov 2020 10:04 AM PST

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 is still pretty far off but info starts to emerge lately. This one, for example, gives some insight into the possible pricing of the handset.
