Just 12% of global iOS users and 4% of US ones have allowed app tracking since the iOS 14.5 rollout

Nobody was ever in doubt that Apple's new anti-app tracking (ATT) feature, rolled-out with iOS 14.5 would have a major impact on the way targeted advertisement works and consequently, any company with a business model built around it. Like Facebook and its subsidiaries, like Instagram - some of the most severely-affected parties and naturally among the most vocal against ATT. Having a hunch that a certain change is significant, though, is not the same as getting some actual data on just how significant it is. The Verizon Media-owned Flurry Analytics has its mobile analytics services...

Redmi K series phone with Dimensity 1100 chipset allegedly in the works

It really didn’t take long after last month's announcement for the Redmi K40 Gaming to basically explode in popularity, raking in 100,000 sales in one minute. It should hardly come as a surprise then than Xiaomi could be looking into launching one or more derivative models in the near future. We already know that the "K" device family is a thing and we might now be looking at a sprawling "K Gaming" sub-branch in the future, as well. At least that's what a recent Weibo insider tip suggests. The source has a solid track record and just happens to recall another phone alongside the...

See the Sony Xperia 1 III's cameras in action in these alleged leaked photos

Sony is no stranger to extended pauses between device announcement and actual sales. This is definitely the case with the new Xperia 1 III and Xperia 5 III. Both were unveiled back in April and can likely be expected in Japan around mid-June. In the meantime, Sony has been trying its best to keep interest high with a few promo videos, as well as engineering talks particularly centered around the camera setup on the new phones. Arguably, the most intriguing part of the package, pretty-much shared between the Xperia 1 III and its smaller Xperia 5 III sibling. Promos and engineering talks are...

Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 Lite gets 3C certified with 44W charging

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 Lite, also rumored to be called Tab S7+ Lite, is expected to come in three variants - Wi-Fi only (SM-T730), 4G (SM-T735), and 5G (SM-T736B/SM-T736N).
