We are getting closer to the end of the summer and the Apple rumor mill is fully in motion. Today's rumors comes from The China Times where "supply chain news" claims that a new 2018 iPhone will have its wireless charging coils updated to support faster wireless charging. It's expected that at least one of the iPhones that will launch in 2018 will have this updated wireless charging by using copper coil instead of FPC (flexible printed circuit) to get a stronger current wirelessly. The downside to using a coil is that it'd take up more space, but the upside is less heat is produced which... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2N4iZH5 via IFTTT

Huawei uses DSLR camera to capture 'selfie' featured in nova 3 video ad

Image
Huawei has found itself in some hot water over a video ad it's created for distribution in Egypt. It's all about the recently outed nova 3 and nova 3i, and as far as smartphone commercials go, at first blush it's nothing out of the ordinary. Unfortunately for the Chinese company, Sarah Elshamy, the actress that's featured in the ad, shared a 'making of' picture from the set on Instagram.

It scratches at the same level as other flagships, doesn't bend too much (unlike the broken Oppo Find X) and is overall as sturdy as you'd expect from a device of this build and price tag.

The numbers aren't as high as the Galaxy Note8 year, the Note9 is reportedly seeing 80% of the demand. That is partially due to the pent up demand after the Note7 was pulled from the market.
