OnePlus 7 Pro hit with insufficient stock in China just as phantom touch issue appears
The OnePlus 7 Pro went on sale in China on May 21 and sales exceeded CNY 1 billion ($144 million) in just one minute, making it JD.com's best selling single product.

This might take a while, though, and in the meantime orders made during the sale on May 23 will only end up being shipped on June 1. Lau said efforts are...
iOS 12.3.1 is out to fix issues with VoLTE and the Messages app

Verizon's LG V40 ThinQ is now receiving the Android 9 Pie update
LG isn't really known for fast updates in the Android world, so it shouldn't surprise you that it's only today started pushing out Android 9 Pie for the V40 ThinQ units sold by Verizon.

The update arrives over-the-air as build V405UA20a and it includes the April 1, 2019 security patch level. Aside from all the goodies that Google baked into Pie last year, including the pill-based two-button gesture navigation system, you're also receiving some new...
