Apple Intelligence is finally unleashed thanks to iOS 18.1 public beta

It's finally here - sort of. Following the disappointing launch of iOS 18 on Monday without any Apple Intelligence features, today these have finally become available to the regular, non-developer public. But only if you are willing to try out iOS 18.1 (or iPadOS 18.1), as its first public beta has now come out following a period of developer-only testing. Keep in mind that the beta might have plenty of issues and bugs, so it's generally not recommended to install on your main device. If you do want to try your luck, then you need to go to Settings > General > Software Update, tap the info...

Sony 1000XM5 headphones get pink versions

Not long ago Beats decided to Kardashianize the Studo Pro headphones with some new colors, and today - coincidence or not - Sony is following suit. Only there's no Kim Kardashian here, and we're only getting one new color, not three. Both the WH-1000XM5 over-ear headphones and the WF-1000XM5 true wireless earbuds are now being offered in pink. This seems to be true across regions, but the exact name of the new colorway will vary by locale for some reason. Rest assured that it is, however, the exact same pink everywhere. The products are identical in every other respect...

Xiaomi overtook Apple in terms of global sales for August

Xiaomi claimed the number two spot in Counterpoint Research’s global monthly sell-through volumes for August. The Chinese brand outpaced Apple which came in third place while Samsung retained the leading spot.

Samsung halts One UI 6.1.1 rollout for the Galaxy S23 Ultra

On Monday Samsung started pushing the update to One UI 6.1.1 to the Galaxy S23 family in Europe, India, and other markets. Today the company has suspended the rollout for the Galaxy S23 Ultra. The reason is a bug that is causing ghosting in pictures captured at zoom levels between 16x and 19.9x. This issue doesn't affect any other phones, so only the rollout for the S23 Ultra was halted. The company is currently working on addressing the issue. Once it's done that, it will re-release the update with it fixed. Right now it's unclear how long this will take, but hopefully it won't be more...

EU court finds Qualcomm guilty of predatory pricing

The EU's second highest court confirmed an earlier verdict and found Qualcomm guilty of what is known as predatory pricing. However, the court reduced the fine from €242 million to €238.7 million. The case concerns Qualcomm's contract with British software maker Icera, which is now part of Nvidia. Between 2009 and 2011, Qualcomm sold chips below cost. This practice aims to exclude other competitors from the potential deal. Qualcomm has put forward numerous appeals, including one that claims the Qualcomm-Icera deal accounted for just 0.7% of the Universal Mobile Telecommunications...
