Flashback: the Motorola ROKR E1 was a dud, but it paved the way for the iPhone

Apple began life as a hardware company, selling desktop computers and then adding laptops to its roster. But in 2001 the company started its long journey to becoming a media distribution company - a journey that saw the launch of Apple Music in 2015 and will welcome Apple TV+ later this year. In 2001 Apple released iTunes to the world and a few months later the very first iPod followed. Those two products revitalized the waning company and grew quickly. In 2005 Apple had a commanding 75% share of digital music sales and 80% of MP3 player sales. With over 20 million iPods sold, Steve... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://bit.ly/2PySgZ0

Twitter CEO's account got hacked, fell victim to SIM swapping

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey's own Twitter account was hacked yesterday, allowing the perpetrators to post a total of 17 offensive tweets. The tweets were up for no more than 10 minutes and a little over an hour after the issue was noticed the account was already secure. In a statement, the Company points the finger at the carrier, assuring Twitter systems have not been compromised. The phone number associated with the account was compromised due to a security oversight by the mobile provider. This allowed an unauthorized person to compose and send tweets via text message from the phone number.... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://bit.ly/2zFvWlC

Motorola One Zoom detailed specs surface

The Motorola One Zoom has leaked a few times before so we already know what it will look like. We also know a few of its specifications, but the latest leak completes the picture, leaving very little to the imagination. The One Zoom will be powered by the Snapdragon 675 SoC paired with 4GB RAM. It will have 128GB storage and run Android Pie out of the box. But, do note that it won't be a part of the Android One program and will come with deep Alexa integration.

iPhone 11 family to unsurprisingly become available on September 20

Apple is unveiling the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max at a special event on September 10. But that's the announcement. You may be wondering exactly when you'll be able to purchase one of the new devices. Well, wonder no more. According to a source working at a major US carrier, pre-orders for the trio are set to start on September 13. That's the Friday after the announcement, and it comes as no surprise that Apple would start taking pre-orders then - because it's been doing the same thing for years. Exactly as unsurprising is the rumored release date of the three... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://bit.ly/2LcsAM4

Android 10's September 3 release date confirmed by Canadian carrier

A few days ago a couple of chats with Google support reps surfaced telling us to expect the official release of Android 10 to Pixels to happen on September 3. And today a slip-up by Canadian carrier Rogers has seemingly confirmed the rollout's date. For a short while, Rogers' public OS upgrade schedule included the lines you can see screenshotted below. Apparently this carrier didn't get the memo of Android 10 being the official name of the release formerly known as Android Q, but other than that, it's all there, black on white.

iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max have all their specs seemingly leaked

After many months of rumors, purported leaks, and speculation, Apple will finally make the new trio of iPhones official on September 10. And today out of China comes a new report that seems to leak all of the new devices' specs. Before we go into the actual information, don't forget to take all of this with a healthy serving of salt - it's just an unconfirmed rumor at this point. That said, a lot of the stuff in it lines up with what we've heard in the past, and the rest is at least plausible. iPhone 11 This is the successor to the iPhone XR, and hence Apple's entry-level option for... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://bit.ly/2ZowlIl

Samsung wants to release the Galaxy Fold in Korea on September 6

According to a new report from Samsung's home of South Korea, we might be closer to the actual availability in stores of the Galaxy Fold than you may think. So far the company has only officially confirmed that it's going to release the Fold at some point in September. Now though, sources inside the mobile industry have told news agency Yonhap that Samsung is actually in talks with the Korean carriers to make the Galaxy Fold available in the country on September 6.

T-Mobile's Samsung Galaxy J7 Star is now tasting Android 9 Pie with One UI

Another day, another Samsung smartphone gets the update to Android 9 Pie. This time around it's T-Mobile's Galaxy J7 Star on the receiving end of Google's latest OS (for a few more days), which comes alongside the Korean company's innovative new user experience dubbed One UI. If the name doesn't sound familiar, know that Galaxy J7 Star is the name under which T-Mobile chose to sell a phone that is otherwise better known as the Galaxy J7 (2018) in most parts of the world.

Lime, Jump, Bird pledge to remove their Miami scooters to avoid flying menaces

Illustration by William Joel / The Verge Hurricane Dorian’s expected landfall on Florida has Miami, Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, and Tampa scrambling to remove bikes and scooters from their streets. If the devices aren’t removed from the streets, they could potentially be picked up by hurricane winds — transforming into threats to people and property. Miami has demanded that all of these mobility companies remove their products from the streets by noon on Friday, Bloomberg reported . Tampa has not yet issued a request for removal, but if (or when) it does, the companies will have 12 hours to comply with it. (“All of our vendors appear prepared for that requirement, and are staying tuned to the weather notices,” says a spokesperson for the city of Tampa.) Lime, Uber’s scooter...

Oppo Reno Z in for review, unboxing and key features

Oppo's fairly new Reno series has a midrange member - the Reno Z which offers all the essential features from a phone in its price range and even some improvements compared to the more expensive Oppo Reno. The device recently made its way to our office and we got to unbox it and take a look at its key features. Starting with the design the Reno Z feels really similar to the vanilla Reno. In fact, the two devices are nearly identical as far as dimensions go with 6.4-inch AMOLED displays and a dual-layer glass build. What you do notice with the Reno Z though is the waterdrop notch... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://bit.ly/2Uk6EDc

Realme is all set to introduce its Q series next week on September 5 at an event in China, and the company has now confirmed that it will be powered by the Snapdragon 712 SoC. Realme CMO confirmed yesterday we are going to see four products at the event. However, an insider, familiar with the company's plan revealed to us: Realme 5 Pro is the main hero product in the Q lineup. Perhaps the 5 Pro will debut in China under a different moniker as a part of the Q series?

vivo NEX 3 flaunts its display curves in unboxing video

vivo's NEX 3 will get official sometime next month, and as we get closer and closer to its grand unveiling the Chinese company's teaser campaign is turning more and more into a bona fide hype-driving endeavor. We've already had an official teaser video, but this time around vivo went one step further and gave a NEX 3 unit to Arun Maini, aka the guy running the YouTube channel Mrwhosetheboss (yes that's a typo, but it seems intentional on his part).

Samsung Galaxy Fold is on its way to India

After many months of fixes that are supposedly going to make it sturdier, Samsung's Galaxy Fold is going to become available at some point next month, perhaps around the same time as the new iPhones hit the streets. Samsung has slowly been readying the launch of its first foldable smartphone, and as part of that process the company's Indian website is now listing the Fold. That means the device will also launch in the subcontinent, though at this point it's unclear if India will be in the initial batch of markets to get it in September.

While Samsung may not be the fastest company out there when it comes to rolling out updates to big new Android versions, it is increasingly supporting older models, even those that were anything but flagships when they launched. Case in point: the Galaxy J5 (2017) has been on the market for more than two years already, and has already received one major Android update taking it from Nougat to Oreo. And starting today, it's being updated to Android 9 Pie too, with Samsung's new One UI on top.
