iOS 27 source code reveals a new Apple wearable supporting Visual Intelligence

An X user @samhenrigold unearthed a reference inside the iOS 27 source code that mentions a new Apple wearable device with model number B790.

Unfortunately, we have no clue which device is referenced in the source code, but it's surely an upcoming one, and it has a...

Insider claims that OxygenOS and Realme UI will be merged into ColorOS

Back in 2021, Pete Lau revealed that OxygenOS and ColorOS will merge. That meant that OnePlus phones would no longer have a separate software branch from Oppo phones. Now a knowledgeable insider claims that the company will bring things to their logical conclusion – merging Realme UI too. This way, the three related but previously independent brands will use the same software, ColorOS, which will help reduce R&D costs. But this is only part of a wider consolidation effort.

Amazon's Starlink competitor is almost ready

Today, Amazon's VP in charge of Leo, Chris Weber, has just announced that over 390 Leo satellites have been deployed already, which is apparently enough "to support continuous service across initial latitudes". He further states that the company has already completed "enough launches for initial service this year", strongly...

Commodore announced its $499 Callback 8020 flip phone a couple of weeks ago, and apparently people didn't like the price. So now the device has gone up for pre-order as promised, but it starts at $399. That's some magic trick - making the product 20% cheaper before even launching it. Part of this is explained by the fact that the $399 price includes "eco-validated" RAM and storage, which means they're "remanufactured", aka reused, aka recycled, whatever you want to call it. If you want your RAM and storage to be new, you need to pay an extra $50 and then you're up to $449. Anyway,...

Samsung ultimately refuses BOE panels for the Galaxy S27, new report says

Last month we heard that Samsung was in talks with China’s BOE for the supply of OLED panels for the upcoming Galaxy S27, and BOE's displays were allegedly $5 cheaper than what Samsung Display could supply. So it seemed pretty inevitable that BOE would get the deal and the vanilla S27 would ship with the Chinese panels. Well, not so fast. A plot twist has emerged today. Apparently Samsung has decided not to go with the BOE displays after all, and so Samsung Display was chosen to supply the OLED panels for the Galaxy S27.
