Deal: Get the Google Home Hub two-pack for $250 ($48 off) from Costco

-

Yesterday's Google Home Hub deal from Home Depot might have been a great one, but it ended almost as soon as it began. Even though that deal seemed like an error, today's deal from Costco is no mistake and offers two Home Hub devices for $250.

That is $48 less than if you purchased each Home Hub separately, since the device sells for $149. You will have to be happy with the Chalk color, however, since that is the only color available for the two-pack.

Keep in mind that the devices will ship between October 22 and October 30 if you were to pre-order them today. You must also have a Costco membership, but at least shipping is free.

As a refresher, the Home Hub is the latest addition to Google's line of Home devices. Based on the Cast platform instead of Android Things, the Home Hub features a seven-inch display, music and movie playback, smart home controls, and more.

Google Home Hub hands on: A home with a view

Like Apple, Google isn't always first to market, but both companies always try to do things better than the other. What Google typically does better than most is software, but not necessarily this time. With the …

Its diminutive size and lack of a built-in camera makes the Home Hub a good choice for those who want to use it in the bedroom and not worry about privacy issues. The Home Hub also comes in Charcoal, Aqua, and Sand.

You can grab Costco's Home Hub deal at the link below. The retailer did not say for how long it will offer the discounted bundle for, so it might be best to take advantage of it if yesterday's deal is any indication.

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

You too, Brutus? OnePlus 6 leaked images show iPhone X-inspired design

-

This week during MWC 2018, ASUS unveiled not one but two iPhone X clones which are expected to hit the market with affordable price-tags. ASUS' flagship, the ZenFone 5Z includes a powerful Snapdragon 845 and will start at only $499. Which means OnePlus is in for some direct competition. Obviously, we expect the Chinese company to retaliate …with its own iPhone X-inspired offering. Indeed, according to a pair of leaked images from the Chinese blogosphere, OnePlus is hard at work trying to replicate the Notch. OnePlus 6 could turn out to be iPhone X look alike Note that the device shown in the pictures (allegedly the OnePlus 6) is only a prototype, so the final product could end up looking a lot differently. Like it's the case with these leaks, the blogger who posted these images has subsequently deleted them. Yet the folks at ITHome spotted them before they were taken down. Looking at the images, we notice the phone appears to have a glass back, indicative o

Beyond eSIM: How iSIM could turn phones into the ultimate Internet ID

-
Image
Most modern smartphones still support the classic SIM card (well, the nano variant at least), but a gradually growing number of phones and other consumer gadgets are starting to support eSIM . We might not be too far away from yet another change in SIM tech, as devices could soon start using iSIM. Earlier this year, Arm unveiled its vision for the iSIM – an integrated SIM that fits into a device's system-on-a-chip. In the future, along with a CPU, GPU, LTE or 5G modem, your next phone SoC could also include the SIM card built inside it too. While there might not appear to be a big difference compared to eSIM, iSIM could end up drastically changing the way we use a wide range of connected devices. eSIM vs iSIM eSIM and iSIM are rather similar in a number of respects. Both replace the transferable nano SIM cards with a hardware chip that's permanently fixed inside a user's phone, tablet, or other gadget. When you consider that nano SIM cards are around 12.3 x 8.8 m
