During remarks at Huawei’s Developer Conference that kicked off on Friday, the CEO of Huawei’s consumer division Richard Yu promised that the company can “immediately” switch to HarmonyOS, the new smartphone operating system it unveiled Friday, from Android whenever it needs to.

That day might be sooner than later, however, based on new comments from President Trump, who reiterated on Friday that the status quo will remain in place regarding the US’ Huawei ban.

If you’ve heard of number neighbors recently, you’re not the only one, as the whole thing went viral on social media this past week. But as you’ll see in some examples, not everyone understands what number neighbors are, and can take the whole thing the wrong way. Number neighbor refers to the phone numbers that are one digit away from yours, and people are texting their neighbors so they can post screenshots of the conversations online.

It seems almost like a certainty that Apple will introduce an overhauled MacBook model featuring the largest screen size since the 17-inch Pro’s cancellation. And the best thing about the new 16-inch version is that it won’t have a bigger footprint than the current 15-inch MacBook Pro. Recent reports claimed that Apple was able to reduce the size of the bezels on its 15.4-inch laptop to fit even more display into the same space. The new device is expected to arrive this fall, and there’s a new source that suggests it might be released even sooner than expected.

Apple’s new iPhone 11 series handsets are now almost exactly one month away from being announced. If the huge leak from earlier this week turns out to be accurate — and we have every reason to believe it will, considering the source — then the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Max, and iPhone 11R will be unveiled on September 10th or 11th ahead of their release on Friday, September 20th. While nothing is official just yet, the rumor mill has already told us just about everything we need to know about Apple’s next-generation iPhone lineup. There are simply too many hands in the pie, so it’s impossible to keep most of the details surrounding unreleased iPhones a secret.

We know that the iPhone 11 series will be a big upgrade in terms of power and performance, but we also know that it’s going to be a relatively small upgrade where design is concerned. In fact, this year’s new iPhone 11 series is expected to feature the exact same design as last year’s iPhone XS series apart from the new camera array on the back of each of the three models. The iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Max will have a new triple-lens camera housed in a big, square camera bump, while the iPhone 11R will have a dual-lens camera in a similar square camera bump. It’s a bit of a disappointment for some Apple fans, but it’s also an interesting development in the smartphone industry as a whole, and we’ll explain why.

Are AirPods popular because they’re good headphones, or do people think they’re good headphones because they’re popular? Truth be told, we think it’s a little from column A and a little from column B. They actually do feature impressive sound quality, but they also have a bad design with smooth plastic tips. That means they don’t create a seal in your ear, so all the bass leaks out and the sound quality is just average. Instead of spending $159 for average sounding earbuds, check out the SoundPEATS TrueFree True Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds on Amazon. They’re under $30 and they have silicone tips so all the sound is delivered right where it should be.

After all the leaks rumors that have been spilling out over the past few months, Samsung’s new Galaxy Note 10 lineup is finally official. Company executives took the stage in New York City earlier this week to take the wraps off of Samsung’s latest and greatest Android phablets, and they’re spectacular. The new Galaxy Note 10 series is easily the most impressive smartphone series Samsung has created to date, featuring a stunning all-screen design and cutting-edge specs. These new Note phones are powerful and sleek, and they improve upon everything that Samsung fans love about the Galaxy Note series.

Since just about everything there was to know about Samsung’s new Galaxy Note 10 series leaked long in advance, there wasn’t much left to surprise us with when Samsung finally took the stage at its Unpacked press conference in New York. There was something we uncovered after the show was over though, and while no one knew about this big change ahead of Samsung’s event, the new feature really shouldn’t come as much of a surprise at all. Why? Because Apple did it first.
