The dream of carrying a foldable iPhone that doubles as an iPad mini 4 seems a little more realistic today, with another top Wall Street analyst now predicting the idea will come to fruition. “Our checks also suggest that Apple is working with suppliers on a foldable phone (that potentially could double up as a tablet)”, said Bank of America Merrill Lynch analyst Wamsi Mohan to CNBC. Apple is just one of many smartphone manufacturers that could be rushing to embrace the foldable smartphone futur

If you were hoping to see Apple’s oft-rumored, cheaper 13-inch MacBook 2018 model, then you might want to level your expectations. That said, next week likely won’t be the venue for this long-awaited revival of the affordable MacBook. A cheaper MacBook for learning, work and play? Apple may very well position this cheaper MacBook toward students. At any rate, keep it locked here for the latest from Apple’s announcements next week, and fingers crossed we’ll see this new, more affordable MacBook s

Motorola announced in September 2017 that, among many of its phones, the Moto Z would receive the Android Oreo update. The anticipated upgrade has made its way to Moto Z owners in Brazil, teasing that Moto is sampling its wares on one region before blasting it out on global basis. As with anything relating to Android software, it could be minutes, days or, as a worst case scenario, weeks until we see it arrive on our handsets. What to look forward to in OreoWhenever Android Oreo arrives for the

It’s all about the murder of Professor Vollmer, a technological genius who was responsible for creating a virtual world called the Simulacron. He’s essentially given lots of drugs and undergoes a number of virtual reality experiences in an attempt to raise his intelligence. (Image: © The Matrix)1999: The MatrixPossibly the most famous and epic virtual reality movie out there, but did The Matrix strike you as a VR movie on first viewing? This cult movie starring Jennifer Jason Leigh and Jude Law

You probably wouldn’t describe Apple products as cheap, and that’s probably part of the reason why iPads and other Apple devices aren’t the dominant devices in education. Apple is seemingly looking to change that, as the company is rumored to announce a new low-cost iPad aimed at education. Apparently the device set to be announced will be a new version of the company’s cheapest iPad, which presumably means the 9.7-inch iPad (2017). The consumer version of that currently starts at $329 / £339 /

Benro also makes regular filter holders in a variety of sizes together with a wide range of cheaper resin and premium quality glass filters.

Casio has announced a new limited-edition version of its high-tech adventure watch that runs on Wear OS. The original Casio WSD F20 was announced at CES 2017, and this new version of the watch, called the Casio WSD F20SC, is even better for true adventurers, boasting a new and improved durable design. The WSD F20SC won’t replace the WSD F20 in the Casio range either, as it’s a limited-edition product. It’ll be on sale from Casio’s website at some point in late June, but there are only 700 units

KeepVid – once a popular destination for anyone looking to download videos from YouTube, Facebook, DailyMotion and Vimeo – is no more. As recently as March 1, KeepVid was using its Facebook page to solicit suggestions for its Android app. The change was probably prompted by a complaint from one of the video platforms the site formerly supported. “KeepVid predicts that video downloading will become possible if the video download tools and video sharing platform reach an agreement about downloadin

This year’s early flagships have stuck with physical fingerprint scanners, but 2018 could still be the year of the in-screen scanner, as both the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and Huawei Mate 11 are rumored to pack one. As well as giving the phone a headline feature, it’s a move that according to an analyst – speaking to the same site – would allow Samsung to fit a larger battery into the Samsung Galaxy Note 9. In-screen competitionBut it’s not just the Note 9 that could be using the technology, as more

The OnePlus 6 launch is drawing ever closer, and the specs are starting to leak out with more frequency – and today’s glut doesn’t bring a huge range of surprises. The front-facing camera has been improved to a 20MP sensor, with an f/2.0 aperture, which should take some pretty impressive selfies. We’ve heard that the price of this phone is set to go up dramatically, and with a spec list like this it’s easy to see why. The leak also states that the phone will be 7.5mm thick and weigh 175g, which

If you really stretch that notion you can use it to justify growing your game collection, and to that end Nintendo has launched its spring sale, with discounts across a range of Nintendo Switch, Nintendo 3DS and Wii U titles. Nintendo eShop sales aren’t known for being overly generous, especially when it comes to Nintendo Switch games, but this time there are actually some fairly decent deals on offer in the UK store. The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, Arms and Doom, for example, all get a 33% discount,

Amazon and Google are upping their street cred with audiophiles, with the companies offering Tidal high resolution music streaming through their respective Amazon Fire TV and Android Auto platforms. Tidal for Amazon Fire TV has also been tailored to fit the big screen format rather than its mobile standard, with a library of high quality recordings that should complement Amazon’s own Prime Music offering. Against the tideBarring the exclusion of video content for the in-car version for obvious s

A new report by the RIAA has revealed the music listening habits of the US and it’s no surprise that streaming is currently the undisputed winner. When it comes to digital downloads, however, the outlook is pretty bleak. For the first time since 2011, music listeners who want to have their own record collection are preferring to buy albums and singles on physical media, rather than downloading it to their hard drives. Sales of digital media decreased a massive 25% compared to last year. Whether

Although they’ve only just been released, a number of Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus owners are reporting that they’re experiencing touchscreen issues with their new handsets — specifically noting that certain areas of the screen is completely unresponsive to touch-based input. A user shows a large unresponsive section on his Galaxy S9 that reaches across the middle of his touchscreen. Either way, Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus owners may want to test their own devices to see if they suffer from t

Best Buy will reportedly stop selling the unlocked Huawei Mate Pro 10 and other smartphones, laptops and smartwatches from the Chinese electronics company. Don’t expect the Huawei P20 hereIt’s becoming more difficult to find a Huawei phone for sale in the US without the support of any of the four major US carriers and now, reportedly, Best Buy. You can find the Huawei Mate 10 Pro for around $729 at the moment. The same goes for the new Huawei Mate X Pro laptop. We’ll update this story if we rece

But Samsung’s new Exynos 9610 begs to differ. This is quite impressive, as the Samsung Galaxy S9 can manage 960fps at 720p, so it’s really not far off what the Exynos 9810 handles in terms of image processing. The Samsung Exynos 9610 also brings along some features that promise to inject more smarts than expected into your midrange phone’s camera. Curiously, the GPU is the same one that you’ll find inside of the Exynos 9810 powering the Samsung Galaxy S9 in some regions, the Mali G72, as Android

Today, Amazon announced that for the third year in a row it was voted #1 in the Harris Poll’s annual corporate reputation survey of American consumers. As a way of saying ‘thank you’ to its customers, Amazon is offering 20% off a selection of Alexa devices, including Fire tablets, Echo Plus speakers, and Fire TV media players — but only for today! Although these prices are not quite as low as what we saw during the Black Friday season, this one of the best discounts from Amazon in recent months.

But the company’s latest patent suggests it thinks it might be safer to just fly drones directly in front of customers instead of risking broken Amazon Fire tablets (or concussions). To potentially aid in this, the retail giant has filed a patent for a package delivery drone with a sensor system for registering both “visible” and “audible” gestures. But another patent spotted by GeekWire last year lends credence to the notion that Amazon wants the delivery drones up close and personal with custo

Instagram has gotten a ton of flack for showing users posts out of chronological order. The social media platform’s algorithm-based feed means you often miss timely posts, such as a family member’s vacation photos or a friend’s engagement announcement. If you don’t tap the button, you’ll keep scrolling right on through without Instagram automatically refreshing. Secondly, the Facebook-owned company plans to show more recent posts in your feed. Oh, and sorry if we missed your most recent vacation

Take, for example, OLED TVs. Sony has just announced the final pricing of its 2018 A8F OLED TVs – the new 55-inch A8F will run you $2,799/£2,800 while the 65-inch variant will come in at $3,799/ £3,800. Why is Sony selling a 2018 TV at half-price from last year? As we mentioned in our preview of the TV from CES 2018, the Sony A8F OLED is almost exactly the same screen as last year’s model, which would explain why the 55-inch A1E OLED and the 55-inch A8F OLED are the same price on Sony’s website.
