Xiaomi 14 SE is allegedly coming to India in June

The Xiaomi 14, Xiaomi 14 Pro, and Xiaomi 14 Ultra will soon get a new sibling in the series if a new leak from a usually reliable source is to be believed.

New Apple Pencil to have haptic feedback

Apple is working on a new Apple Pencil, and this one will apparently come with some exciting new features, according to Mark Gurman at Bloomberg. The upcoming stylus will feature haptic feedback built-in, making the writing experience feel more natural. This will hopefully be at least somewhat customizable, so it will act differently depending on what you're doing with the pen, but such details haven't been outed yet. Other recent rumors also claimed it would come with a squeeze detection mechanism. When you pair that with the double-tap gesture, it could result in iPad owners...

EU Commission designates iPadOS as gatekeeper

The European Union Commission has placed iPadOS as a gatekeeper under the Digital Markets Act (DMA). Following an eight-month investigation, the EU Commission concluded that iPadOS is on three key premises. Apple is leveraging its ecosystem to disincentivize users from switching to other operating systems and devices – essentially locking users to iPadOS. A similar case is made for business users who are locked into the platform due to its “large and commercially attractive user base”. The EU Commission also concludes that iPadOS’s business users exceed the threshold for a...

Weekly poll results: the Motorola Edge 50 series is promising but overpriced

Last week’s poll shows that Motorola aimed too high with the pricing of the Edge 50 series. That said, with solid review scores and a good discount, these could become very popular (we have already reviewed the Pro and Ultra models). Starting with the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra, nearly half of voters picked the “it costs too much” option. Maybe they would have felt differently if the phone had the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, but the 8s variant is an issue at €1,000. Many in the comments were posting about how you can get more performance at that price point. The Motorola Edge 50 Pro was...

Apple once again blocks Spotify's EU app update

Spotify submitted a new version of its iOS app in the European Union with in-app pricing information, but Apple has rejected it. The reason? Apple wants Spotify to accept its updated rules on the Music Streaming Services Entitlement, according to which Spotify would still need to pay Apple a 30% entitlement commission for in-app purchases. Spotify says it won't be adopting Apple's revised changes. Spotify spokesperson Jeanne Moran told TheVerge - “Apple has once again defied the European Commission’s decision, rejecting our update for attempting to communicate with customers about our...

Google Pixel 8a price leaks, to be pricier than the Pixel 7a

Huawei Watch Fit 3 looks just like an Apple Watch

A lot of people will consider any non-round smartwatch inspired by the Apple Watch, regardless of how close the design actually is aside from the rectangular-ish shape. And even if something is inspired by something else, it's still pretty easy to distinguish between the inspiration and the "inspired by". Huawei, however, is in a different realm with the upcoming Watch Fit 3, if the renders of the device that leaked today turn out to be accurate. It would be very hard for most people to tell this one apart from an Apple Watch from afar - and even up close, we'd wager. Huawei Watch Fit 3...

Blackview Hero 10 will be the world's cheapest foldable when it launches next month

The nubia Flip was announced in February as the world's cheapest foldable smartphone, as it starts at just $499.
