HMD teases Barbie Flip Phone
HMD has announced a partnership with Mattel (UNO maker) and Barbie for the Barbie Flip Phone, which will arrive this summer 2024 (May)
NO pricing, specs, or features were announced for the unnamed Barbie phone, but expect it to be a traditional feature flip phone rather than an Android smartphone
HMD will also “bring back an iconic phone this summer,” similar to its other retro revivals of devices like the Nokia 3310 and Nokia 8110.
“Promising style, nostalgia, and a much-needed digital detox, this retro feature phone will flip the script on smartphone culture and will be this summer’s hottest accessory,”
HMD says that repairability goes to the next level, substantially reducing the number of steps it takes to fix the screen.

Apple Vision Pro users are reporting random cracks on the front glass
Apple Vision Pro owners have claimed that their headsets developed a hairline crack down the middle of the front cover glass, despite having NEVER been dropped or mishandled.
All of the images show a distinctly similar vertical hairline crack above the nose bridge, implying that the damage is occurring at a particular point of tension, where the curvature of the laminated glass is most pronounced.
The real cause of the crack is unknown but it could be due to pressure exerted on the glass when tightening the straps, which is causing "bowing" of the surrounding frame.
Others speculate that the problem may be due to an overheating issue which is expanding the glass and leading it to crack at its weakest point.
Some Owners affected by cracks are reporting that Apple Support is asking them to pay $800 for repair, as the crack is not officially recognized as a manufacturing defect.

Delhi HC warns BBK Group of a potential Sales Ban in India
InterDigital provides wireless and video technologies for mobile devices, networks, and services worldwide.
But the BBK group infringed upon its 3G, 4G, and 5G Standard Essential Patents (SEPs)
The court said that OPPO group shall deposit a sum covering all past sales for the years 2021-22, 2022-23, 2023-24 (not disclosed), within 3 months"
The court said that failure to do so would entitle InterDigital to move an application before the court seeking an injunction/restraint on the sale of further devices by Oppo in India, due to non-compliance of court orders.
The court also imposed a penalty of Rs 500,000 ($6,000) on Oppo for delaying the proceedings.
Recently, Oppo had been directed to pay up interim security in its dispute with Nokia.
That case, however, was settled as part of a cross-licensing agreement reached between Nokia and Oppo last month.
Nokia withdrew the case from the Delhi High Court.

Apple's Diverse Experiments with Dynamic Island
Source
With the iPhone 14 Pro models in 2022, Apple introduced the Dynamic Island, which in short is an expanded/ interactive and live notifications
However, Apple explored a variety of ideas for the iPhone's notch area over the years
Before Dynamic Island, Apple explored a popover menu on the right side of the screen that would have provided users with quick access to the time, cellular signal & Wi-Fi strength, brightness, volume, and battery charge level.
Another idea that Apple considered was hiding the notch with an all-black status bar area at the top of the screen.
Apple later came up with the idea of the Dynamic Island, and it explored a variety of different designs for this, as pictured above
Apple also considered showing volume and a full row of system shortcuts in the Dynamic Island, tested a never-used layout for ongoing phone calls, and more.
