Google is preparing to borrow a neat feature from Apple's Stolen Device Protection!

Even if a thief knows your phone's lock screen PIN, they'll still need your biometrics to unlock apps.

Android's version will be called Identity Check. More details are available in my latest article for Android Authority.

Chinese content creator Zhu Zhu and her animator friend Dupp collaborated to create the world's first glasses-free naked-eye 3D effect video displayed on a smartphone, using the Huawei Mate XT, the world's first tri-fold phone!

Zhu Zhu shared that she had predicted the tri-fold phone’s potential to deliver this glasses-free 3D effect before its release, though many were skeptical. After the phone’s launch, she contacted a director friend and worked to produce a custom Naked-Eye 3D video for the Mate XT, proving her prediction right.

The blogger’s success in achieving this effect has opened up new possibilities, sparking discussions about developing a dedicated app for Huawei’s triple-fold phone that could offer various 3D effects like virtual aquariums or space exploration.

Samsung, Xiaomi, OnePlus, Motorola, Vivo and Realme found guilty of colluding with Amazon and Flipkart in India

The CCI's 1,027-page report on Amazon said the Indian units of 5 companies - Samsung, Xiaomi, Motorola, Realme and OnePlus - were "involved in the practice of exclusive" phone launches in "collusion" with Amazon and its affiliates, breaking competition law. In Flipkart's case, a 1,696-page CCI report said the Indian units of Samsung, Xiaomi, Motorola, Vivo, Lenovo and Realme conducted similar practices.

The major issue with these "exclusive launches" is that retailers offered the big players preference, prioritization of certain listings, and steep discounts, all of which hurt other retailers

All 5 companies have been ordered to submit their financial statements for three fiscal years to 2024, certified by their auditor, to the CCI, according to an internal CCI document dated Aug. 28 as seen by Reuters.

Apple Pulls Back iPadOS 18 Update for M4 iPad Pro After Bricking Complaints

Users have reported on Reddit that iPadOS 18 update for their M4 powered iPad Pro bricked their devices. In some cases, a total replacement was required for affected users. Not all M4 ‌iPad Pro‌ owners have had an issue installing the update, and it could be linked to installing the new iOS 17.7 update before installing iOS 18.

Thus, for now, Apple has pulled back the update of iPadOS 18 that was released yesterday only. So, the new software is no longer available to be downloaded and installed at the current time on the M4 iPad pro
