Lava AGNI 2 5G will be priced at INR 20,000

Lava first mentioned its upcoming AGNI 2 5G handset hot on the heels of MediaTek’s announcement of the Dimensity 7050 chipset. That initial bit of info on the upcoming phone was quickly followed up by a live photo of the back side of the upcoming smartphone. A new rather credible leak now claims that the AGNI 2 5G will be priced at INR 20,000. That would make it a very appealing value package. If the leaked specs are to be believed, that is.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 case photos confirm the new large cover screen

Samsung's new foldables are well on their way to market. If rumors are to be believed, we can expect the Z Fold5 and Z Flip5 to debut alongside the Watch6 and Tab S9 sometime in July.

Apple supplier pretty much confirms the death of the iPhone 15 Pro's solid-state buttons

The ongoing 'will it / won't it' saga of the rumored solid-state volume buttons on the iPhone 15 Pro is coming to a close. We have recently heard, multiple times from multiple sources, rumors about Apple canceling the project and reverting to normal, clickable buttons on its next-gen devices. Today a new bit of information almost confirms that. Apple supplier Cirrus Logic can't just disclose that Apple was its customer for this tech, since confidentiality agreements prevent it from doing that. At the same time, it needs to keep investors informed of milestones or setbacks, and the latter...

Apple's Q1 saved by record iPhone sales

Apple reported its fiscal quarter results, and they are better than analysts expected. Cupertino gained $94.8 billion in revenue between January and March 2023, 3% down from last year's $97.2 billion. The company posted record sales of iPhones for the first three-month period of the year and an all-time record for services, including App Store, Apple Music, Apple Pay, and iCloud. The YoY decline came primarily from the underperforming sales of Macs and iPads.

Those are big words indeed. Passkeys let you sign in to apps and websites the same way you unlock your phone: with a fingerprint, a face scan, or a screen lock PIN. Thus, passkeys are resistant to online attacks like phishing, making them more secure than things like SMS one-time codes. However, keep in...

Apple faces £1.6b lawsuit in the UK over iPhone throttling

Apple could face yet another lawsuit regarding the purposeful throttling of the iPhone 6 and 6s, colloquially known as batterygate. The suit in question is worth £1.6b and is by Justin Gutmann on behalf of UK-based users affected by Apple's "throttling" of the iPhone 6 and 6s. Gutmann's lawyers argue that Apple concealed issues with the older iPhones' batteries by limiting performance. Apple is trying to block the suit by appealing to a London tribunal. Cupertino's lawyers claim the suit is "baseless", and that only a small number of old iPhone batteries are defective, for which Apple...

Unlimited power! For a brief moment in 2019 there was a smartphone with a massive 18,000mAh battery – yes, that’s 3-4 times bigger than a typical phone battery today. However, it failed to find an audience and it launch was canceled. We’re talking about the Energizer Power Max P18K Pop, a highly descriptive name for a unique phone.
