Apple vs a class action lawsuit. Ouch

Macbook butterfly keyboards are delicate devices, prone to jamming and other failures; many people know it and some of them have decided they had enough. Seventeen thousand people have signed the petition wrote by a number of MacBook 12 and MacBook Pro 2016 users from the Northen Distric Court of California. They believe that their devices’ butterfly keyboards are way too prone to malfunction and demand a change. They also believe that Apple is aware of the issue and still not only does not do anything about it but even has the nerve to charge more for the MacBooks with defected ...

An event will take place in China on May 16th where Nokia will show off its newest phone, Nokia 6X.

What do these pictures show us? An iPhone-esque notch (let me know if you have any idea what purpose does it serve other than looking kewl) and lack of Zeiss name near the camera. The latter may ...

Hurray, Roland Quandt lives and keeps on leaking. Our second most favourite leakster has just Twittered that HTC will release four colour variants of its upcoming U12 Plus smartphone. There will be classic black, red and violet colours as well as a half-transparent one. Cool, right? Unfortunately, Quandt believes that U12 Plus will be a pretty expensive smartphone. According to him, it will cost something around 950 – 1000 dollars. That is quite a bit. Whether or not the device will be worth it is up to you. Personally I think its specs do its price at least a partly justice:– ...
