Motorola has patented a solution for deformities in foldable phone displays

-
Despite the abundance headlines in recent times that may suggest only Samsung is working on foldable phones, Motorola is among one of the many others that are working on prototypes and has now been granted a patent that could fix any potential deformities.

Regardless of the flexible nature of OLED displays, folding them multiple times can ultimately lead to deformities in the flexible area of the panel. This deformity isn't necessarily permanent, but would ultimately affect the user experience, hence the adoption of a new heat-based technology that should allow the flexible areas to be ...

Apple is postponing new iOS features in favor of reliability and performance

Apple has decided to postpone new features in iOS in favor of improving the reliability and performance of the operating system, as according to a report by Axios. According to the report, Craig Federighi, Senior Vice President, Software Engineering, announced the revised plan to employees at a meeting earlier this month. This pushes features like refresh of the homescreen and in-car user interface, improvements to core apps like Mail and camera experience to 2019. What we will get this year is improvements to AR, digital health and parental controls. Apart from that, the OS will largely feature improvements to performance and user experience. We have seen Apple do this with macOS in the past, where they dedicate one entire update cycle to just refining the OS and make existing features work better. However, we have never quite seen Apple do that on iOS. This is largely due to the hyper competitive nature of the mobile market where competition and customer demands push companies t

Libratone Q Adapt USB-C earphones review: Pricey, but for good reason

-

It's sad, but the headphone jack is being included on fewer and fewer phones every year. Ever since Apple started the trend of relying on one connector with the iPhone 7, Google, HTC, Motorola, and more companies have all released flagship devices without the 3.5mm jack that all of us knew and loved. Without the headphone jack, people basically have three options for personal audio: dongles, Bluetooth headphones, and USB-C headphones. Dongles look cheap and out-of-place, they're a pain to move around, and they're easy to lose. Bluetooth headphones can be a pain to pair and must be charged fairly often. So if you don't particularly fancy either of those, you're left with one choice: headphones with a USB Type-C connector. That's where the Libratone Q Adapt USB-C earphones come in. I've been using a pair for several weeks now, and I'm ready to share my thoughts. Here's the short answer: they're good. Design and build quality The Q A
