Apple is apparently still working on solid-state haptic buttons for iPhones

Apple was rumored to launch solid-state, haptic buttons for the iPhone 15 Pro, then for the iPhone 16 Pro, and that never happened. The company was then said to have put the project on hold, but today a new rumor from China claims Apple is still working on perfecting the technology. The reason for Apple skipping it so far has to do with registering false touches, presumably when you just brush up against the buttons without the intention to use them. The buttons are also allegedly less responsive than Apple would like. Cost was never an issue. Apple is also said to be tweaking the...

Samsung Galaxy Watch8 to have a bigger battery than the Watch7

Samsung is obviously already working on the Galaxy Watch8, the successor to the Watch7 which launched last July. The Watch8 should become official in July alongside the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7, if history repeats itself. The Galaxy Watch8 has now been spotted in both a Korean certification database and in the TUV database - specifically, its battery has. This reveals the fact that the watch will have a 435 mAh battery in its 44mm size. That's 10 mAh more than what the Galaxy Watch7 can boast. So it's not a big improvement, but it is one nevertheless.

This way, the company basically confirmed the new device and said we would see it this month. OnePlus initially claimed there would be no more T products, as they were “diluting the flagship portfolio,” and we haven't seen one since August 2022. Apparently, this...

Apple's satellite connectivity expansion plans interrupted by Elon Musk

Apple has been offering Emergency SOS via Satellite and Roadside Assistance via Satellite in the United States, but the expansion of those services faces a challenge from Elon Musk. The Wall Street Journal reports that the SpaceX owner is not happy with the iPhone maker's investment in Globalstar, a competitor to his Starlink. The main issue is spectrum rights, which are divided into licensable bands secured by satellite operators like Starlink, Globalstar, Echostar, Viasat and Iridium. Apple invested over $1 billion in Globalstar so the company can secure rights to additional...

Asus teases second generation ROG Ally with improved performance and battery life

Asus has taken to Twitter once again to tease its next generation ROG Ally handheld gaming device. The 34 seconds video doesn't show the actual product but does hint at what one might expect. The video shows the ROG mascot working on the next generation Ally. The items on the screen read 'marathon stamina', 'more capacity', 'faster speeds', and 'fresh look!'. All of this seems pretty self explanatory, in that in the very least we can expect the next Ally to have improved performance, increased storage, better battery life, and a new design. The video also shows the original Ally...
