European Commission fines Apple €1.8 billion for abusing its position in music streaming

Today the European Commission (EC) has fined Apple a whopping €1.8 billion for abusing its dominant position in the market for the distribution of music streaming apps to iOS and iPadOS users through its App Store.

Xiaomi Watch S3 in for review

Xiaomi announced the Watch S3 to the global audience in Barcelona during its MWC keynote. The wearable is now with us for review in silver, and since the device is all about customization, we also have two bezels (yellow and green) and their matching straps.

Unlike its siblings from the Watch 2 series, this wearable does not have WearOS and comes with HyperOS, meaning no extra apps will be available to download, at least for now.

Weekly poll results: the Xiaomi 14 Ultra is a hit, a pricey hit

Xiaomi can pop open the champagne – last week’s poll shows that the Xiaomi 14 Ultra will be one of the best smartphones of 2024, even though it’s still quite early in the year. Good thing that the Ultra flagship is launching globally, unlike the Pro. Looking at the results, a third of voters are ready to buy it right now and (if they are in Europe) they can do so as the phone is available on Xiaomi’s online stores. However, some need more convincing and are holding off until the reviews come out. We have a hands-on review with the Xiaomi 14 Ultra for a closer look at the flagship...

Galaxy S25 series will be all-Exynos everywhere, new rumor claims

A new rumor today from a leakster over on X (formerly Twitter) has some bad news for those who dislike Samsung's line of Exynos chipsets. According to this source, at the current stage of development, Samsung is planning for the entire Galaxy S25 line to use its Exynos SoCs - given the history, we assume this means the yet-unannounced Exynos 2500. That's all of the models in all of the countries, everywhere. On the other hand, the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 will only use Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets (the 8 Gen 4, presumably), while the entry-level and mid-range Galaxy A series will...

Apple backtracks, won't remove progressive web apps in the EU after all

Back in mid-February, Apple announced that iOS 17.4 would remove support for progressive web apps in the EU. The company blamed this on the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA), which goes into effect next week and is the reason why iOS 17.4 will come with support for alternative app stores. Following a huge amount of online backlash, today Apple has changed its mind and revealed that progressive web apps will still be supported even in iOS 17.4 in the EU. So, like before, you'll be able to add a progressive web app to your home screen and it will launch in its own top-level window, not being...

Spotify launches audiobook-only tier

Spotify has had audiobooks for a while now, but no special plan for them. That changes today with the launch of the new Audiobooks Access subscription tier. This costs $9.99 and grants you access to 15 hours of listening to audiobooks. That sounds great, maybe, but consider that the Spotify Premium plan is only $1 more at $10.99, also gets you 15 hours of listening to audiobooks, but on top of that you have ad-free music and podcasts - a perk that's missing from the Audiobooks Access tier. It seems like a no-brainer to just go for Premium if you're ever going to want to enjoy ad-free...
