Weekly poll results: Apple AirPods deflated by fan opinion

It is instead the time to reminisce and look back on the past 12 months and also prepare and speculate on what the new year has to offer. As far as the first point goes, there were at least a couple of notable calamities in the market this year and as December comes to an end, we are happy to finally see some proper evaluation and closure for some of the unpleasant situations. Samsung is ready with its official investigation of the Note7 saga, which should hopefully mark its final chapter. LG is also hoping to...
