The iPhone may be a tougher sell this year. Apple isn't expected to change the basic design of the device, making it the first time the iPhone's had the same look for three years in a row. At the same time, rivals are introducing phones with flexible screens and with 5G -- two innovations not found in Apple devices. Many people are looking toward 2020 for big iPhone changes.
This year, Apple is expected to introduce three new models, replacing the iPhone XS, XS Max and XR with the rumored iPhone 11, 11 Max/11 Pro and 11R. The devices likely will include better cameras, faster processors and iOS 13. They come at a time of malaise in the smartphone market, with people holding onto their devices longer than before.
To counteract slowing iPhone sales, Apple has been pushing into new services like a TV streaming offering called Apple TV Plus, a game subscription service called Arcade and its own credit card called Apple Card. It also has expanded into new hardware, such as its popular AirPods headphones, the Apple Watch and the HomePod smart speaker. Apple is expected to release the Apple Watch Series 5 at its September event. It's also expected to officially launch Apple TV Plus and other services.

The Galaxy Note 10 dilemma: Getting out of the Galaxy Fold's shadow

Image
When Samsung introduced the first Galaxy Note in late 2011, it was something never seen before. The device sported a 5.3-inch screen, which was much larger than the iPhone 4S'  3.5-inches screen, and included a stylus to write on the display. As the line evolved, Samsung put its riskiest and most innovative technologies -- like its curved display and iris scanner -- into the Note before expanding them to other devices. The Note marked the start of the new phablet category of devices that merged phones and tablets . Many reviewers wondered if anyone would buy a smartphone with such a massive display. But they did. Anyone who wanted Samsung's most innovative technologies and biggest screen sought out a Note, and a fervent fan base was born.   Pretty soon, every other company in the mobile industry introduced large-screen smartphones, even Apple . That's where part of the struggle lies for the upcoming Galaxy Note 10 .

Facebook appeals against Cambridge Analytica fine

Facebook has appealed against a fine imposed on it by the UK's data watchdog after the Cambridge Analytica scandal. The social network says that because the regulator found no evidence that UK users' personal data had been shared inappropriately, the £500,000 penalty was unjustified. Last month, the watchdog said Facebook's failure to make suitable checks on apps and developers amounted to a "serious breach of the law". It has acknowledged the appeal. This was the last day on which the US firm could challenge the Information Commissioner's ruling. The affair stems from the discovery that an academic at the University of Cambridge - Dr Aleksandr Kogan - used a personality quiz to harvest up to 87 million Facebook users' details. Some of this was subsequently shared with the political consultancy Cambridge Analytica, which used it to target political advertising in the US. It was initially reported that about 1.1 million UK-based users ha

Chats on dating apps are often stilted, awkward and repetitive, so when you find common ground with your match, it can make conversation a lot easier. Whether it’s a love of chocolate milk or a desire to communicate through emojis alone, finding a shared interest is key. And one prime example of this is the couple of computer programming fans who recently matched on Tinder and went on to have a conversation in programmer-speak.

Donald Trump's comments obscure the real problem with video game culture

Over the weekend, two deadly mass shootings in Texas and Ohio claimed the lives of more than 30 people , reigniting debates about gun control and the uncurtailed rise of white supremacy. To date in 2019, there have been 255 mass shootings in the US . This time, though, it feels different. The shooting in El Paso, Texas, in particular, appears to be racially motivated, occurring just weeks after US President Donald Trump suggested that elected Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar should "go back" and "fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came." Both are US citizens. Weeks after "send them back" chants began to ring around Trump rallies . These shootings reflect years of divisive political discourse and a disturbing growth of online racist rhetoric that is increasingly resulting in terrifying and tragic real-world consequences. It's in this context that Trump and House Minority Leader  Kevin M
