At a packed event yesterday Apple introduced three new iPhones and a re-designed Watch Series 4 so there's plenty to digest. But if you happen to be one of those people who missed it, the official videos on Apple's YouTube channel can help you catch up quickly. The first one is about the iPhone XS, XS Max and XR and showcases all the important features of the handsets - displays, cameras and design. The next one is about the new Apple Watch Series 4. Unlike the last three generations, this one gets not only under the hood changes but also a design update allowing a larger... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2xcSfNL via IFTTT

The prices of the new iPhones are pretty steep, especially in Europe. The older models got cheaper, but not by much. But wait - eBay is offering a 10% discount on all smartphones and all smartwatches. The deal expires today at midnight. There are conditions to using the PHONE10 code, of course. You need to be a registered user on eBay.de or eBay.at, but you can live in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands or Poland. The code can be used only once and the maximum discount is €50 (so for devices over €500 you won't get the full 10% off). Check out all the terms & conditions.

Few phones can claim they caused quite as big of a stir as the Xperia XZ3. After Sony dropped its first curved OLED Xperia, seemingly out of the blue at IFA 2018, reactions have ranged from overwhelming excitement, through confusion and all the way to denial and anger. That's a level of drama typically reserved for soap operas or celebrity gossip and it all spells out one thing - a massive wave of exposure for Sony. from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2Ndrq6Y via IFTTT

"Never settle" sounds like a permanent promise, but things change. The OnePlus 6T will not have a 3.5mm headphone jack, says co-founder Carl Pei. And the company just unveiled a pair of affordable USB-C headphones. "Making a great phone doesn't mean putting every component available into the device," says Pei. A survey by the company revealed that more than half of OnePlus owners used wireless headphones. And it's an old survey, predating the launch of OnePlus' own Bullets Wireless headphones. The volume that was freed up by the 3.5mm jack would be use to fit new tech. Pei hints at... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2Ms4nQz via IFTTT

Did you watch the Apple event last night? We saw new iPhones and new Apple Watches as well. Check out this official 4 minute video introduction, highlighting the new iPhone features. There's an intro video for the watch as well. Let's start with the iPhones. Here's a three-way comparison between the new models: iPhone XS Max vs. iPhone XS vs. iPhone XR.

It's been nine months since the beginning of 2018 and this is the first solid evidence that Samsung is readying a follow-up to the Galaxy A7 (2017). The 2016 and 2017 versions all launched at the beginning of each year while the 2018 model seems to be delayed more than half a year. According to a Bluetooth certification sheet, the device is on its way and we are pretty sure the SM-A750N and SM-A750FN are model names belonging to the Galaxy A7 (2018) despite the fact that Samsung changed its naming scheme for the A-series this year with the release of the Galaxy A6 (2018) and Galaxy A8... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2OcSOyh via IFTTT

In typical Apple fashion, the iPhone XS announcement of its trio of iPhones, the company didn't give much specifics about its chipset outside of the 7nm process and their core count. But RAM and clock speeds weren't confirmed. Luckily, a Geekbench listing is here to fill in the gaps. Two benchmark sheets reveal the multi and single-core performance of the new A12 chipset powering the iPhone XS, XS Max and XR as well as the RAM on board. iPhone XS Max and XR benchmark results As expected, there's not much improvement in the multi-core performance but the single-core score is... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2CPCmmH via IFTTT

Yesterday, Apple announced three new iPhones with varying feature sets. But one thing among them is common: they all ship with the same charger. The charger in question is the same 5W unit that Apple has been providing for several years now. It is one of the lowest power output chargers you can get on any phone today and is seriously slow. Apple added support for fast charging on the iPhone with the launch of the iPhone X and iPhone 8. These devices support USB Power Delivery protocol and can take advantage of USB-C chargers, such as Apple's own 30W USB-C Power Adapter —... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2CQJ1wJ via IFTTT

Okay, we were expecting LG to spill the beans soon given that its V40 ThinQ is collecting regulatory approvals from the NRR and the FCC but we weren't expecting it so soon. In a blog post on its official website, the company scheduled an event to announce its new flagship. The date is October 3 and the event will be held in New York followed by a secondary launch in Seoul, South Korea on the next day. The invitation comes in the form of a video that hints at a triple camera setup. We've also had some revealing reports for the past few weeks as well as alleged press renders, but... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2QoQqWN via IFTTT

Samsung just started gradually rolling out an OTA update for last year's Galaxy Note8 and it's an important one. Reportedly, the first stop is France, but we expect it hit other markets soon enough. The patch weighs in at around 712MB, has a build number N950FXXU5CRHA and carries two new exciting features that weren't previously available to the handset - AR Emoji and Super Slow-Motion video capture. Both are pretty self-explanatory and have been made available for the Galaxy S9-series and the new Galaxy Note9 since launch. However, the Galaxy S9 and S9+ received an OTA update... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2Qr77Rx via IFTTT

At its big event yesterday, Apple announced its Watch Series 4 and focused a lot on its ability to do EKG readings - an impressive feat and a first of its kind on a smartwatch. The new Apple Watch performs an ECG in 30 seconds by combining the built-in heart rate sensor, electrodes embedded in the digital crown and a special ECG app. On stage, Apple later admitted that the ECG functionality will arrive later this year, meaning that Apple Watch Series 4 will not have the feature at launch. But what Apple didn't mention on stage is that the ECG functionality of the Apple Watch Series 4... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2NFFtSj via IFTTT

A series of gas explosions killed a teenager, injured at least 10 other people and ignited fires in at least 39 homes in three communities near Boston on Thursday, forcing entire neighbourhoods to evacuate as crews scrambled to fight the flames and shut off the gas. Authorities named the dead teenager as Leonel Rondon, 18, of Lawrence, died after a chimney toppled by an exploding house crashed into his car.  Live TV images showed firefighters battling blazes in Lawrence, Andover and North Andover, about 25 miles (40 km) north of the US city. The streets were darkened where authorities had cut off electricity and were shutting down gas service in an effort to stop further blazes. "It looked like Armageddon, it really did," said Michael Mansfield, Andover fire chief. "There were billows of smoke coming from Lawrence behind me. I could see pillars of smoke in front of me from the town of Andover." Flames consume a home in Lawrence, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston...

President Tayyip Erdogan has warned that an assault by the army and its Russian and Iran-backed allies on Idlib, home to around 3 million people, will uproot hundreds of thousands in one of Syria's last rebel strongholds. Already hosting 3.5 million Syrians - the world's biggest refugee population - Turkey says it cannot absorb more victims of the war and has accused the West of abandoning it to face the consequences of President Bashar al-Assad's reconquest of Syria. At a meeting in Tehran on Friday with the presidents of Russia and Iran, seen as the last realistic chance to avert all-out conflict in the insurgent-held region, Erdogan failed to win a pledge of ceasefire from Assad's two main backers. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2Mqg0Yl via Latest News
