When you’re going up against serious mobile heavyweights, carving out a little bit of MWC for yourself can be tough. Maybe that’s why ASUS held its Zenfone 5/5Z launch on the second day of the show (and that’s not counting the pre-event press days)….

If there is a good reason to try and hack into someone’s Apple account it is because it contains a lot of sensitive data, such as devices associated with said account, phone numbers, contacts, photos, and also credit card details in which the hacker will be able to go on a shopping spree if they find out said details.
This is why it always pays to be careful about the emails you receive, although it should be noted that there is a new iTunes App Store phishing scam that is making its rounds. The email in question is related to subscription renewal emails, in which users receive an email claiming that they have purchased a subscription to a service, such as YouTube Red.
It will also show a ridiculous amount which presumably the idea is to shock users, whereby they will then click the “Cancel subscription” link which obviously does not take users to Apple’s website. Instead it takes users to another site where they will need to “confirm” their credit card details, which is how the hackers will be able to steal your information.
Those who do use Apple products and have an Apple ID will want to pay attention to the emails they’ve received. One way to check is to see the email of the sender, where it should be from an Apple.com account. Another way is to hover your mouse over the link to see what website it takes you to, and if it’s somewhere you don’t recognize, you’ll probably be better off not clicking it.

Despite HMD Global recently stating that there are no plans to bring its Nokia phones to the US this year, it looks like they might have had a change of heart because the company has recently announced that the Nokia 6 (2018) will be headed to the US this coming May. Pricing was not confirmed but it is priced at £200 in the UK, which when converted is roughly $280.
This was confirmed by Juho Sarvikas who is HMD’s chief product officer. He also confirmed that the phone would not be launched through a carrier and will instead be sold outright, which according to him is the current trend. It is unclear as to why there is different information regarding HMD’s US operations, but regardless it seems that the Nokia 6 (2018) will be a phone you could look out for in the coming months.
For those unfamiliar with the 2018 version of the Nokia 6, the handset was announced at MWC 2018 this week. It will feature a 5.5-inch Full HD display and will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 chipset. There will be 3GB and 4GB options, where they will also come with 32GB or 64GB respectively.
There will also be a 16MP rear-facing camera accompanying the phone, and an 8MP front-facing camera, complete with a 3,000mAh battery. The Nokia 6 (2018) will run on Android One, which according to a recent report will be the de facto platform that HMD will be going with from now on.

When it comes to making money from apps, developers have the option to either charge users for the app upfront, or make the app free and rely on ads, or rely on in-game purchases, or sometimes through recurring subscriptions. However for BlackBerry developers, they will now have one less option.
In an email that BlackBerry has started to send developers, it seems that starting from the 1st of April, all paid apps will be removed from BlackBerry World. The goal, it seems, is to only host free content. “Beginning April 1, 2018 BlackBerry World will move to a free-only storefront. The result of this change means that BlackBerry World will no longer host paid content and all purchasing mechanisms will be disabled.”
This means that developers who are developing for the BlackBerry platform will no longer have a way to generate income, at least not via official methods. Instead BlackBerry claims that all payment mechanisms will need to be supported by the developer themselves, which can be rather costly for some to implement, although the upside is that there will no longer be a need to split any revenue generated by the app.
It is unclear why BlackBerry is transitioning BlackBerry World to a free-only platform, but no doubt this will not go down well with many developers who might choose to abandon the platform entirely.
