The US government has started to close in on Huawei and, more recently, ZTE over national security concerns. Perhaps in retaliation, Huawei has seemingly been limiting the availability of its smartphones in the US. Now the Chinese company may be showing its true power, which could give the US even more reason to be worried. According to IDC, Huawei has … Continue reading
There have been some who have cast doubt on the popularity of Apple’s iPhones, especially its latest models which let’s face it, aren’t exactly cheap, which can be a dangerous game to play in today’s market which seems to be rife with competition from Chinese manufacturers offering phones at half the price of the iPhone X.
However it seems that Apple’s investors need not fear because in the company’s Q3 2018 financials, Apple has actually managed to beat the expectations of Wall Street and pull in $53.3 billion in revenue. This is a huge amount of money and it also represents Apple’s largest third quarter financials to date.
Breaking this down further, Apple managed to move 41.3 million iPhones this past quarter, which is actually slightly higher than the same quarter last year where Apple sold 41.03 million iPhones. Granted the difference is marginal at best, the fact that the latest iPhones are more expensive than their predecessors have helped boost revenue.
Unfortunately the same cannot be said for Apple’s Mac sales in which Apple sold 13% fewer Macs than last year. However Apple has since launched the new iMac Pro, updated MacBook Pros with support for 32GB of RAM, and with a new MacBook Air and iMac refresh rumored for the later part of this year, hopefully things will pick up on the Mac side of things.
According to Apple’s CEO Tim Cook, “We’re thrilled to report Apple’s best June quarter ever, and our fourth consecutive quarter of double-digit revenue growth. Our Q3 results were driven by continued strong sales of iPhone, Services and Wearables, and we are very excited about the products and services in our pipeline.”

Everyone uses Facebook differently. Some use it primarily for social purposes, such as keeping up with friends and family, while others use it for business, or some might even use it for shopping. Facebook understands this and in an announcement, the company revealed their plans to redesign their mobile app’s navigation bar.
This redesign will see Facebook start to personalize the navigation from user to user based on the features/services that they access frequently on Facebook. For example right now in the US, the navigation bar (bottom row for iOS, top of the screen for Android) consists of News Feed, Notifications, Menu, Watch, and Marketplace.
However in the future, these icons will change based on what you use the most. The initial rollout will see these icons change automatically, but Facebook states that eventually users will be able to change what they see and have more control over it. The number of icons will also vary and range between 4 to 6 icons, depending on your usage.
According to Product Manager Alexa Andrzejewski, “We want the shortcuts available in the navigation bar to reflect how an individual uses Facebook. To that end, we’re customizing mobile shortcuts so everyone can more easily connect with their most frequently used products.” These changes are expected to roll out in the coming weeks so don’t be surprised if your Facebook app’s navigation bar looks different.
