T-Mobile adds a data cap to it's "Mobile Without Borders" program

A couple of years ago, T-Mobile announced "Mobile Without Borders" feature, which allows T-Mobile customers to roam to Canada or Mexico with full 4G LTE speeds and without roaming fees. The new feature was part of Magenta's ‘Un-Carrier Amped' campaign which beat one-upped AT&T's announcement at the time to make roaming in Mexico free. Anyway, the feature has had enough time to mature and for T-Mobile to figure out the cost-effectiveness of the feature and what the actual usage has been. According to T-Mobile, less than 1% of those who travel to Mexico and Canada use less than 5GB of...

HTC sees monthly revenues double for September

HTC has announced that it saw consolidated revenue for September 2017 of NT$6.51 bn (US$215 million). This represents more than double the revenue for August 2017 of NT$3,00 bn. It would be a safe guess to say that revenues have likely been boosted by shipments to Google of the recently launched Google Pixel 2 which HTC manufactures. However, the big picture is less positive as this represents a 30% decline Year-On-Year. Monthly Consolidated Revenue Let's see if HTC can finish the year strong as it's rumored to be launching several new phones before the year is out, one of...

Apple is working with LG Display on a foldable iPhone for 2020

The soon to be released iPhone X may be a revolutionary step forward for Apple's smartphone designs, but it will by no means be the last. In fact, what could be considered an even bigger leap is expected to arrive in three years. That is if a new report from South Korea turns out to be accurate. It claims that Apple has teamed up with LG Display to develop a foldable iPhone. The handset could go on sale in 2020. Not only is LG's screen-making subsidiary working alongside Apple on the project, but the parts-making LG Innotek has also set up a team to develop the necessary flexible circuit...
