iOS 11.4.1 makes it so that we can type ”Taiwan” again
Before 11.4.1, typing the word ”Taiwan” again into any application would often cause the phone to freeze. Such situation was the result of bad relationship between China and Taiwan mixed with crappy programming. Long story short, China does not officially recognize Taiwan as a country. Due to this, Chinese iPhones do not even have that country’s name in their dictionaries. This change has been accidentally implemented into iPhones outside of China, which caused the crashes. Patch 11.4.1 fixed this ...

LG Q6 updated to Android 8.1
LG tries very hard to convince us that its 160 pounds budget phone is worth buying. The company’s latest trick to coerce us into getting one – or to wipe the tears of those who already have – is to update its operating system to 8.1. The update is already available in South Korea; it should reach European markets in a few months. 8.1 update brings a slew of changes with it, like new options for LED flash camera or the stereo DTS:X 3D sound.
