Twitter will manually authenticate verified accounts starting December 2

Twitter relaunched its verification program last May after a hiatus of more than three years, but it was paused again after Elon Musk took over Twitter. However, Musk has announced that Twitter will "tentatively" launch Verified on December 2 and manually authenticate all verified accounts before the check activates. Manually authenticating verified accounts is definitely a good idea because after Musk's takeover of Twitter, the company started offering the blue check marks to eligible Twitter Blue subscribers as well without actually verifying identities, which led to verified accounts...

OnePlus 11's color options tipped

Renders of the OnePlus 11 (formerly known as 11 Pro) that leaked a couple of months ago revealed the smartphone's design. The renders showed the smartphone in black color, which we now know will be called Matte Black. This revelation comes from tipster Max Jambor, who said the OnePlus 11 will come in Matte Black and Glossy Green colors. However, it's unclear if these will be the only colors or if there will be more options.

Thousands of employees quit biggest iPhone making factory impacting shipments

The biggest iPhone making plant owned by the biggest iPhone making company Foxconn in China is located in Zhengzhou, and it's been the scene of unrest all this week.

Xiaomi's Q3 financial report reveals 10% drop in revenue

Xiaomi posted its quarterly financial analysis, and the numbers show a significant decline. Revenue for the July-September 2022 period was CNY70.5 billion, just south of $10 billion. Of them, 50.5% came from overseas markets. The revenue is 10% lower compared to last year. Net profit dropped even more - 59% year-on-year to CNY 2.1 billion ($294 million). However, that was partially due to the CNY 829 million ($116 million) investment in the newly set up EV business and other projects that should bear fruit in the future. The company also revealed investments in R&D increased by 25%,...

The promo page set up on vivo's official Chinese website reveals the iQOO 11 series launch event will begin in China at 2:30PM local time, and since the company uses the word "series," it's safe to say iQOO will unveil multiple smartphones next Friday (likely vanilla and Pro models).

The upcoming iPhone 15 tipped to have rounded back, titanium chassis

According to a tipster specializing in Apple-related leaks, Apple is planning a big design overhaul for its iPhone 15 lineup. Reportedly, the new chassis will be made of titanium while the glass back panel will have round edges. The front will likely remain flat, though, resembling the good old iPhone 5C. So a smoother transition between the side frame of the phone and the back glass is expected. A more comfortable grip is likely the goal and the titanium build will probably reduce weight. The tipster does say that it's too early to confirm the changes and even if there's an internal...

Then in 2011 the Kindle Fire Android tablet arrived and while it couldn't quite achieve the same domination it became a major player in its niche. What was next? An Android phone – but not one that is beholden to Google. At the end of July 2014 Amazon unveiled the Fire Phone. It ran Fire OS, the company’s fork of Android that has been reworked to slot into the Amazon ecosystem much like the Kindle readers and Fire tablets were. By that we mean that...
