Apple's three iPhone 11 models hold on to the Lightning port, get upgraded Taptic Engine
Apple is going to introduce three new iPhone models this fall at its traditional September event, according to a new report. The three handsets will be direct successors to last year's iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR, and they will have the same screen technologies and resolutions as their predecessors. As previously rumored, Apple may only move to an AMOLED panel for its most affordable smartphone in 2020. Speaking of things that aren't changing - the Lightning port will stay for another round, the report says, opting not to join the latest iPad Pros in USB-C land. The three new models will all...
Samsung Galaxy Note10 to be powered by the Snapdragon 855 Plus chipset, full specs outed
Yesterday a rumor claimed to shed light on the Galaxy Note10 family's battery capacities, but today famed leakster Evan Blass (aka @evleaks) has shared some information that is slightly contradictory to that. According to what he knows from his sources at this time, the Note10's battery capacity will be 3,600 mAh. That's 100 mAh more than yesterday's rumor said, which should be good news for future owners of this smartphone. Blass confirms the 6.3" screen size, alongside the unsurprising revelations that it's an AMOLED panel with 60Hz refresh rate. The Note10 will apparently be offered...

Or perhaps the company will out it just a couple of days before that - at least that's what's heavily implied by the date shown in these leaked official press renders you can see below courtesy of famed leakster Evan Blass (aka @evleaks). A new rumor today 'confirms' (as much as any rumor can) some specs and reveals others. Let's dive...
Apple inches closer to acquiring Intel's smartphone modem business, report claims
After Apple and Qualcomm settled a few months ago, Intel was left out because of it and was forced to exit the 5G modem business. But a rumor has been going around claiming that Apple is in talks with Intel and wants to buy the modem chip business to reduce its reliance on Qualcomm in the future. And according to reliable inside sources familiar with the matter, this is exactly what Apple is aiming at here. Moreover, the two American firms are in advanced talks. In fact, they are really close to reaching a deal, which could be happening as early as next week. Reportedly, it will be at...
