Fitbit has announced that it will be putting the axe to most of the remaining features available to Pebble owners on June 30, 2018. The company outlined in its blog that this is a six-month extension of when it planned to retire the wearable lineup – a move to encourage Pebble developers to contribute to its Fitbit OS. The prolonging of the Pebble isn’t just beneficial for developers interested in making apps and watch faces for the Fitbit Ionic and Fitbit Ionic 2 (whenever it’s announced). Fitb

Huawei has been hotly tipped to launch its next flagship phone during MWC 2018 at the end of February, but a new report suggests that it will delay things until April.
