Apple unplugs long-delayed AirPower wireless charger

Image
Apple today said it has cancelled plans to release a wireless charger for its iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods. The company first revealed AirPower in September 2017 and suggested it would arrive by early 2018. More than 18 months later, the product still hasn’t reached store shelves. Apple has scrapped it. “After much effort, we’ve concluded AirPower will not achieve our high standards and we have cancelled the project,” said Dan Riccio, Apple’s senior vice president of hardware engineering, in a statement emailed to TechCrunch . “We apologize to those customers who were looking forward to this launch. We continue to believe that the future is wireless and are committed to push the wireless experience forward.” The charging pad’s absence had become a running joke for the last few months as people have begun to question the product’s legitimacy. A handful of Apple events came and went with no further mention of AirPower. Editor's Pick Plusus Xpad charger is a flexible wi

Google leaks the Nest Hub Max: 10-inch smart display with camera

Image
Google Last year, Google had to deal with a massive early leak of the Google Pixel 3 , with multiple prototypes sold on the black market in Europe. Today, though, Google is dealing with a different kind of leak: the leak of the as-yet-unannounced Nest Hub Max. The leak (first spotted by  Android Police ) originates from the “ Connected Home ” section of the Google Store. There, you can see the cross section of a model home and click on various details to see how Google and Nest products can make your life easier and more secure. If you click on the Google Home Hub options littered throughout the house, you can read all about the Nest Hub Max, which seems to be a larger Google Home Hub with a built-in camera. Editor's Pick Google Home Hub review: This is the Smart Display you should buy Alongside the new Pixel 3 and Chromecast, Google also recently announced the Google Home Hub. The Hub is Google's first entry into the smart display market, aiming to improve on the

Looking for a starter smartphone? NUU’s offer on the G+ is the perfect budget pick or side device

If you’re looking for a phone that isn’t a primary device for a power user, check out this offer from NUU Mobile . These specs would have been flagship-tier a couple of years back, but now they’re a fraction of the price , and the best part is that it comes bundled with unlimited talk, text, and data for three months without you paying a dime. A phrase we started to hear a lot a couple of years ago was “ good enough .” For years, the gap between flagships and budget smartphones was immense in both cost and specs, but recent years have featured the rise of the mid-range as a legitimate option for those who didn’t want to sacrifice performance, but also didn’t feel like shelling out big for something that would be obsolete in 24 months . “Bang-for-buck” became the primary metric, and people started framing things as, “Sure it’s 80 percent of the latest flagship spec-wise, but I only paid 50 percent.” It's the perfect gift bundle for teen's-first-smartphone... or the perfe

Sony might slash 2,000 jobs from mobile division by 2020

Image
According to a new report from  Nikkei Asian Review , Sony mobile is about to experience a tectonic shift. The report alleges that Sony will cut its mobile division in half by 2020. If this is true, it will result in roughly 2,000 people either losing their jobs or getting shifted to a new department at Sony. It should be noted that  Nikkei Asian Review does not cite a source in its article on this matter. However, the publication is highly-regarded and trustworthy. Besides, although this news is disappointing to hear, it’s not exactly unexpected. Just yesterday, Sony announced it was shutting down a factory that primarily makes smartphones. The company also moved its mobile division into another division that makes TVs, cameras, and audio gear. It’s assumed Sony did this to help hide just how much money its mobile division is losing.

Android security review 2018: Huge boost in device security updates

Image
Google just revealed the Android Security & Privacy Year in Review 2018 report. The annual report sums up how well Google is doing at protecting Android users from security and privacy breaches. According to the report — which Google creates and disperses — the company is doing a great job at protecting users from potentially harmful apps (PHAs). The report states that in 2018, only 0.08 percent of devices that used the Google Play Store exclusively for app downloads were affected by PHAs. There are around two billion Android devices worldwide, but millions of those devices either don’t use the Play Store exclusively or don’t use it at all (such as the millions of devices in China). With that in mind, the amount of devices affected by PHAs is likely comparatively quite small. Editor's Pick Are Android updates getting faster? Let’s look at the data If you want the freshest version of Android as fast as possible, the Google Pixel range is clearly your best bet. Hist
