Japan is making Apple allow non-Webkit browsers on iOS Japan is joining the EU in forcing Apple to allow non-Webkit browsers on iOS. Following the EU's Digital Markets Act, which came into effect last year, Japan now has the Smartphone Act.

The Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold reportedly faces delays, will arrive after the other three models A week ago, a tipster contacted us to say that the Google Pixel 10 Pro will go on pre-order immediately after it gets unveiled on August 20.

First, the “regular” phones will arrive on schedule – the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL pre-orders will start on August 20, shipping and open sales will start on August 28.

Infinix Hot 60 Pro unboxing and hands-on This is the Infinix Hot 60 Pro, and it's the more conventional phone in the new series. While its sibling, the 60 Pro+, is a bit thinner and curvier, the Hot 60 Pro is nearly as thin and light, but has a flat design that some will like better. The regular Hot 60 Pro also has a few hardware advantages over its Pro+ counterpart - you get a dedicated AI assistant button under the volume and power keys, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Curiously, you also get a microSD slot in the Infinix Hot 60 Pro, whereas the Pro+ lacks one. Like the Infinix Hot 60 Pro+, the Pro also comes in two... https://www.gsmarena.com/infinix_hot_60_pro_in_for_review-news-68870.php

Weekly poll results: Apple Watches surprisingly popular, Google and Samsung need to step up their game While smartphones have converged on pretty much the same formula, there is a wide variety of smart watch/band/ring/etc. devices out there. And the results from last week’s poll are quite interesting. Most of our readers who use a smart wearable have an Apple Watch. We are pretty sure that most of our readers have Android phones, but apparently, they don’t use smart wearables all that much. That aside, Wear OS is surprisingly low – almost half the popularity of Apple’s watchOS watches. Other advanced smartwatch platforms (e.g. Huawei) are also more popular than the platform that is... https://www.gsmarena.com/poll_results_apple_watches_surprisingly_popular_google_and_samsung_need_to_step_up_their_game-news-68841.php
