Weekly poll results: tiny Asus Zenfone 9 stirs big excitement

Is the Asus Zenfone 9 the perfect phone for people who want a small Android flagship? That seems to be the case, judging by the glowing reception in last week’s poll – half of people who voted want one. Another 30% would be interested, if Asus had offered software support longer than two OS updates and security patches spanning two years. To be fair, Asus said “at least two years”, but not everyone is willing to bet $700/€800 on the chance that patches keep coming after mid-2024. Admittedly, the poll is probably skewed – those interested in a small flagship are more likely to read...

iPhone 14 could be delayed due to growing China-Taiwan tension

You might have heard about Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the US House of Representatives, and her visit to Taiwan. It's been all over the news lately. But how is that relevant to the iPhone 14 release, you might ask? Well, as most of you know, Apple is TSMC's top customer and the company ships chips to Pegatron in China where iPhones are assembled. And Pelosi's visit to Taiwan has put an even bigger strain on the China-Taiwan relationship. As a result, the CCP has come up with new regulations forbidding any mention of "Taiwan" or "Republic of China" in the shipping documents. This in turn...
