Qualcomm has added a new smartphone chip to its 2-series, and while it may not have the flagship appeal of the Snapdragon 855, the new Qualcomm 215 Mobile Platform could be a game-changer in phones around $100. Borrowing features like dual camera support, Quick Charge, and higher screen resolutions, it’ll make a big difference in whether or not budget handsets … Continue reading

Spoofing phone numbers is a common way for scammers to make you think that someone else is calling you. For example, you could receive a call from a number that claims to be from your bank, when in reality, it isn’t. This is the same that applies to text messages as well, but the good news is that the FCC is finally looking to do something about it.
According to FCC Chairman Ajit Pai, he has announced that the FCC could be considering adopting a set of rules that would ban caller ID spoofing of text messages and robocalls that come from outside of the US. This is not the first time that this topic has been brought up, but the FCC is finally going to do something about it and will vote on them come 1st of August.
According to Pai, “We must attack this problem with every tool we have. With these new rules, we’ll close the loopholes that hamstring law enforcement when they try to pursue international scammers and scammers using text messaging.” While there is already a law in place that prevents caller ID spoofing, it did not extend to text messages and nor did it cover international phone calls.
If the FCC votes to go through with it, it will give the organization more authority to combat this problem. In recent times, the FCC has enacted rules regarding robocalls, where they have passed a rule that would allow carriers to block them by default.

Apple Revives Its Texas Hold’em Game To Celebrate The App Store’s 10th Anniversary
Posted in: Today's Chili
While Apple’s App Store is home to many games, it’s probably safe to say that 99% of the games on the App Store aren’t made by Apple. While Apple did make some games in the early days to help populate the App Store, they haven’t really done much since. However, it looks like the company has decided to revive a classic in the form of Texas Hold’em.
According to Apple, “Apple’s Texas Hold’em is back! To celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the App Store, we’ve brought back one of its first games, a popular classic. Originally created for iPod, then brought to iPhone, fans will love the polished redesign, featuring new characters, more challenging gameplay, and stunning graphics for the newest iPhone and iPod touch. Players will also love that it’s free to play—for the very first time.”
The game was originally launched back in 2016 where it was created for the iPod before it made its way onto iOS devices. Apple has since given the game an update where they have refreshed the graphics while maintaining the gameplay. It is a free download so if you are interested in checking it out, then head on over to the App Store to get your hands on it.

At the moment, Apple’s lineup of iPhones consists of te iPhone XS, XS Max, and the iPhone XR, the former two being OLED models while the latter uses LCD. There have been talks that Apple could eventually make a full transition to OLED screens in the future, and according to analyst Samik Chatterjee, that could happen in 2020.
According to Chatterjee, he claims that in 2020, Apple is expected to launch a trio of high-end iPhones, all of which will be sporting OLED displays along with support for 5G. The report goes on to claim that the display sizes offered will be 5.4-inches, 6.1-inches, and 6.7-inches. For those who are wondering if this means that Apple could introduce OLED to its lower-end iPhone, you might be disappointed.
This is because Chatterjee claims that the use of OLEDs will be for the higher-end iPhone models, but he also notes that Apple will continue to make a budget version, which presumably will keep using LCD as it is cheaper to produce. In addition to OLED, the analyst claims that Apple will introduce support for 5G in its 2020 iPhones, along with a rear-facing ToF 3D sensor for the camera that will be used for both augmented and virtual reality applications.
Safe to say that you should probably take this with a grain of salt for now, but these are claims that we have heard before so if anything, the rumors are consistent.
