Sony representatives reached out to us to set the record straight on the expected software support for the Xperia 1 III flagship.

And yes, the statement is worded defensively, but that's to cover unforeseen circumstances. We have to point out that the Sony Xperia 1 III will launch in August in the US and in Europe with Android 11 pre-installed.

Posted: 20 Jul 2021 03:59 AM PDT

Back in April HMD Global unveiled the Nokia X-series with a couple of 5G-enabled mid-rangers and the Nokia G-series and more affordable LTE-only models. But there's no hard 4G/5G divide between the G and X series, apparently, as British retailers have started listing a Nokia G50 with 5G connectivity.

Posted: 19 Jul 2021 07:14 PM PDT

Today Apple has released iOS 14.7 to all supported iPhones, although as of yet it hasn't also sent out the corresponding iPadOS 14.7 update to its tablets, which is weird, because these usually go out together.

The new build is labeled MIUI V12.5.1.0.RFAEUXM, and as we mentioned already (and that "EU" in the name...

Mike Levin, co-founder of CIRP, says this is due to loyalty and switching - iPhone users have a higher 93% loyalty, compared to 88% for Android users. And iPhone users are more likely to buy another iPhone than to switch over to Android. Image...
