Android 9 Pie update for the Moto X4 is now rolling out in India

The Moto X4 is now receiving the update to Android 9 Pie in India. It comes over-the-air as a 1.1GB download, and once you install it you'll be on build number PPW29.69-17. If you haven't gotten the update notification yet, then you could manually check for it through Settings. Note though that it's likely to be a phased rollout, so doing that might not actually work.

Some iPhone users are getting their Apple ID accounts locked

An odd occurrence has been spotted by an increasing number of iPhone users - their Apple ID accounts are being locked. This would normally happen if someone attempts to access an ID by entering an incorrect password too many times, but that's not the case here. It's still unclear what is prompting Apple's systems to lock people's accounts, but if that happens to you the company will require you to reset your password. It's an inconvenience, for sure, but thankfully you aren't being permanently locked out of your account. You'll instantly know if you're affected because iOS will...

New Samsung patent shows off dual foldable display design

It seems like we have been talking about foldable displays forever now. That's no coincidence either, since looking back at the news section, we can trace the earliest mentions of the futuristic tech to 2014 - a millennium ago in tech terms. Well, flexible displays are finally here and going to start appearing on consumer devices in 2019. How do we know for sure this time around? Well, Samsung already teased a working prototype at its annual developer conference (SDC 2018). Other manufacturers have stated official plans for delivering flexible phones too. Plus, Google is already...

Android Pie for the Samsung Galaxy S8-series and Note8 is on its way

Unfortunately, the listings don't reveal anything out of the ordinary...

Spotify lands on Apple Watch, offers just remote control functionality for now

Spotify has landed on the Apple Watch, just update the app on your iPhone (v.8.4.79) and it should show up on the watch (unless you've disabled Automatic App Install). If you haven't already, you can download Spotify from the App Store.

You can also use this to control Spotify Connect speakers (Connect was recently enabled on the free tier). Spotify is working on a fully offline, phone-free experience, which will be a true alternative to Apple Music,...

Samsung should announce a trio of new Galaxy S10 flaghips next year - two models with curved 5.8-inch and 6.44-inch displays - and a third with a flat 5.8-inch display. Thanks to leaker Ben Geskin we may have some new clues to clarify that last one. Dubbed the budget Galaxy S10 with model number SM-G970F, the most basic device in the lineup will have a flat Infinity-O display, a fingerprint scanner on the side (not an in-display one), a dual camera and come with either 4GB or 6GB of RAM coupled to 64GB or 128GB of storage. According to Geskin the budget Galaxy S10 may even carry a 2018...

YouTube VR arrives to Oculus Go

YouTube VR was a long time coming standalone app for Facebook's Oculus Go budget VR headset. If you are an Oculus Go owner, you can finally enjoy the rich VR-ready YouTube library, which happens to be the biggest one in the world. And, surprisingly or not, the media content on the Oculus Go platform is far more important than the gaming aspect of this device. According to Oculus, 70% of the time users spend with the headset is watching videos with the other 30% being for gaming. There are plenty of video streaming app services prior to the YouTube VR launch on the Oculus platform...

Samsung to finally allow adoptable storage with Android Pie

The adoptable storage feature was introduced with Android Marshmallow a few years ago and it made sense for devices with low built-in storage since the microSD card acted as an additional space not just for your media but your apps as well. Unfortunately, Samsung chose not to adopt that feature on the premise that only low-storage, low-end devices would benefit. It all changes with Android Pie, though. The adoptable storage option in Android Pie beta for Galaxy Note9 According to post in XDA Developers, the adoptable storage function will be enabled with the upcoming Pie update...

Xiaomi apologizes over misleading UK flash sale terms

Xiaomi brought its most popular smartphones to the UK on November 8. To celebrate the new market, the company launched a flash sale where the Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite and Xiaomi Mi A2 were offered for £1. The deal was over in the blink of an eye since the company offered only three phones at that price per model. A follow-up included two units apiece, adding up to the massive amount of 10 smartphones. The immediate stock depletion led to users voicing their anger on Twitter, with one fan even going into the website code, revealing the page was programmed to show Out Of Stock once the Order...

Samsung Galaxy S10 will have Infinity-O display, ultrasonic fingerprint scanner

You could say that it's a bit early to expect solid Galaxy S10 leaks but these latest ones come from as a leakster with a good reputation - Evan Blass. He was apparently able to obtain some preliminary details about the Samsung Galaxy S10 - it will come with a "punch hole" selfie cam, which sounds like the new Infinity-O notch, an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner, three cameras - standard, wide and telephoto, and Samsung's leaner One UI atop Android 9 Pie.

Apple's T2 chip won't allow third-party repairs to your MacBook

Apple's T2 security chip, which is found in all new MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iMac Pro and Mac mini is essential for many of the features these devices offer including the "Hey Siri" and Touch ID. But it's also the leash that helps Apple keep tight control over its hardware and block out the third-party repair centers. It's now officially confirmed by Apple that the T2 chip performs a series of diagnostics on the first boot after a certain component has been changed and if it finds unauthorized hardware, it bricks the whole device making it unrepairable. The replacement parts must...
