Smartphone innovation has stagnated, and this is not a knock against the consumer electronics companies or the tech giants that design them. Maybe we’ve reached peak smartphone, and this is as far as it needs to go. It could well be part of the reason why the race to upgrade your phones is slowing.
I was born and raised in developing Asia, a region where buying a smartphone is financially unattainable for hundreds of millions of people, much less a two-year upgrade. In India, the average person needs to save two months’ salary to buy the cheapest available smartphone, according to a survey published by the Alliance for Affordable Internet last August. From my perspective, the trend of routinely upgrading a phone every two years when it doesn’t change that much is a privilege, one that reminds me of the stark income equality gap as well as the ever-increasing digital divide globally.
The 28-year-old was worn down by her hectic work life, trying to juggle a full time writing career with running two side businesses. Her doctor told her to simply ‘stop stressing’ when she asked for next steps after her diagnosis
The reference to ‘hackers’ stems from a controversy that started in 2018, when 10-year-old tweets and blog posts by Reid surfaced in which she refers to homosexuals as ‘rentboys’ and ‘grimey closet-cases.’
The central bank had less than three months import cover as of end-2019, World Bank estimates show. The currency weakness would make it costlier to service $2.5 billion in debt payments due by end-2020.
‘Wembley can be packed full of strangers all screaming, chanting, drinking, hugging, but at a wedding, you are still restricted in the church, must be seated in bubbles, must have masks on and are not allowed to sing?’ fumes Rosie, whose sister, ties the knot next Saturday, two days before so-called Freedom Day.
Branson denied that he and Bezos were in a ‘battle of the billionaire space founders’ to see who would go up first, despite changing from the second to the first VSS Unity test flight in order to go up before Bezos.
A controversial anti-abortion law in Texas allows private citizens to file lawsuits of up to $10,000 in damages against abortion providers who perform abortions on women who are pregnant for more than six weeks.
She says: ‘I first noticed a change in my hair during late 2019. I was at work touching up my hair in the bathroom and I discovered a tiny patch of hair missing. I didn’t think anything of it and simply just restyled my hair to cover the patch.
Due to her hectic schedule, running two businesses – event styling business Pretty Little Pink Book and women’s group My Go To Gal – alongside a full-time job as a writer, the doctor put her condition down to stress.
Are we at peak smartphone? I’m not discounting foldable phones. Samsung and Huawei have made undeniable technological progress, and their bendy handsets have dramatically altered the way smartphones are used and could represent the future of the industry. But folding phones are far from the mainstream. Phone manufacturers and carriers in the US have moved the most innovative devices to a price that’s simply beyond reach for most people. For instance, the Galaxy Z Fold 2 starts at $2,000 (£1,799, AU$2,999) and Huawei’s Mate X2, available in China for now, costs nearly $3,000 ($2,800, £1,985, AU$3,640 converted). Until these prices hit price parity with say the iPhone 12 Pro or Pro Max, foldable phones are likely to remain a niche product.

Critics say that provision would allow abortion opponents to flood the courts with lawsuits to harass doctors, patients, nurses, domestic violence counselors, a friend who drove a woman to a clinic, or even a parent who paid for a procedure.
Instead, it allows anyone - even someone outside Texas - to sue an abortion provider or anyone else who may have helped someone get an abortion after the limit, and seek financial damages of up to $10,000 per defendant.
Another travel perk is that Google Assistant will also be able to book a room at partner hotels and sites such as InterContinental, AccorHotels, Choice Hotels, Priceline, Mirai and TravelClick — that is, if you already know the name of the hotel you want to stay at. This could be a boon if you’ve got loyalty status.
The British billionaire will launch on the first of the three test flights carrying a full complement of ‘astronauts’ in the cabin, before they begin flying the first of 600 ‘future astronaut’ ticket holders in 2022.
When you look at what changed from the iPhone 11, you’ll see the usual suspects on your list: 5G, OLED screen, new design. Admittedly there are a few more things you won’t see everywhere, such as MagSafe and the Ceramic Shield, but nothing extra-special to truly write home about. Personally, the last time I was blown away by an iPhone reveal was back in 2017 when Apple introduced the iPhone X, which set new design standards for the modern-day iPhone. The iPhone X did away with the physical home button and chunky bezels of its predecessors and made way for a sleek, futuristic device that inspired the iPhone 12 family. Also, for the first time with Apple, we were able to unlock an iPhone with Face ID, Apple’s facial recognition technology.
