Report: the Apple Watch Series 7 will feature a larger battery instead of adding new sensors

Posted: 28 Jun 2021 07:27 AM PDT

Ever since the original Apple Watch was released, Apple has been advertising a battery life of 18 hours. This is just as true for the first model as it is for the current Series 6.

That will be the focus of the Apple Watch Series 7 to the exclusion of new sensors. According to Bloomberg, the 2022 model will introduce a body temperature sensor. That could have been added this year, but Cupertino thought it is wiser to use the room that...

Huawei Mate X2 4G goes on sale in China with HarmonyOS 2.0 out of the box

Posted: 28 Jun 2021 06:35 AM PDT

Huawei has trouble sourcing 5G components due to the trade war with the US, so the company has taken to re-releasing some of its existing 5G phones as 4G-only models.

There is a small price cut involved too, though it barely makes a scratch on the CNY 17,800 price tag of the Mate X2 5G. The 4G...

Posted: 27 Jun 2021 08:28 AM PDT

But this was far from the company's first attempt to use music superstars to promote its gadgets. Back in 2007 Samsung (and Sprint) released the Beyonce-themed B'Phone, a limited edition version of the Samsung UpStage M620. The phone had two sides – a simple-looking feature phone and a media player with a music...
