Right now, Face ID is the go-to biometric security measure for Apple's most expensive mobile products. That option replaced Touch ID in that regard. However, a lot of people out there want Touch ID to make a comeback for all products -- and that may happen.
It's a little earlier than usual, but Samsung has just announced its newest round of products for 2021. That includes a few new smartphones, truly wireless headphones, and even a tracking device.
We now know that Samsung will be officially announcing its next flagship smartphones, almost certainly the new Galaxy S21 lineup, later this month as the company just sent out invites.
Foldable phones are all the rage these days, gobbling up plenty of attention. However, they're not quite yet the mainstream devices some companies might hope (due in large part to the price tags). That may change when/if Apple hops into the circus at some point in the future.
"Free Fortnite" is the rallying cry Epic Games has been calling out for months now, trying to get people to listen to their demands. Apple (and Google) pulled the massively popular battle royale game Fortnite from their digital storefronts earlier this year (due to actions on Epic Games' part), and, ever since, Epic Games has been trying to force Apple and Google's hands to get the game back on those platforms.
It has been rumored for a bit of time now that Samsung is looking to ditch the power adapter in the box of some of its phones. And now regulatory filings have apparently confirmed as much.
If you're in the market for a new standalone monitor, but want to focus on a big one versus multiple smaller options, a curved monitor might be the way to go.
It has been rumored for quite some time that Apple is going to launch a Tile-like tracking device, probably called AirTags. However, the company hasn't gotten around to actually announcing anything quite yet. Which may give Samsung some room to beat them to the punch.
The iPhone 12 lineup has a ridiculously good camera system, but things can always get better. So it shouldn't be a surprise Apple is reportedly looking for new ways to make that happen.
Apple is not shy about touting the capabilities of its A-series processors. That's certainly the case with the A14 Bionic, which the company introduced earlier this year.
Back to its old tricks in a bid to convince people to use its foldable smartphone, Samsung is once again taking potshots at Apple with the latest ad campaign. First its social media department had fun mocking Tim Cook & Co. over the removal of a power adapter from the iPhone boxes (you can bet they'll do precisely the same thing with the upcoming Galaxy S21), and now the South Korean conglomerate is messing with an important element of Steve Jobs’ legacy with its city light advertisements for the Galaxy Fold Z foldable smartphone with 5G.
Samsung typically debuts its next-generation Galaxy smartphones in February before putts them on sale in March. This time around, however, things could be a bit different because the next Galaxy refresh is rumored to come much earlier than usual in 2021.
