Google loses final appear at Europe's high court, to pay €4.1 billion fine

Google has lost its final appeal to the European Commission's €4.1 billion fine from 2018. The appeal was Google's last chance and was presented at the European Court of Justice (ECJ), Europe's highest court. The record-breaking fine sat at €4.34 (later reduced to €4.1) was imposed on Google by the European Union's executive arm, the European Commission, back in 2018. The EC found that Google was abusing Android's mobile dominance and giving its own apps an unfair advantage by requiring phone makers to pre-install Google Search, Chrome, and the Play Store. The EU sees it as Google's...

Amazon's Starlink competitor is almost ready

Amazon has been building up its own Low Earth Orbit satellite constellation for a while now, even calling it Amazon Leo (Low Earth Orbit, get it?). This is inevitably going to compete with SpaceX's Starlink, which is currently the largest satellite constellation. Today, Amazon's VP in charge of Leo, Chris Weber, has just announced that over 390 Leo satellites have been deployed already, which is apparently enough "to support continuous service across initial latitudes". He further states that the company has already completed "enough launches for initial service this year", strongly...

iPhone 18 Pro Max's exact battery capacity leaks

We've already heard from past rumors that the iPhone 18 Pro Max is set to have the biggest battery ever seen in a non-folding iPhone. Now a new leak purports to give us the exact numbers. And we say numbers because there will be two of them. Like last year, the version of the phone that will be eSIM-only will have a bigger battery - 5,425 mAh in this case - than the one with a physical SIM slot. That one will have a 5,235 mAh battery. That is, of course, if this is accurate, and that's a pretty big if. The funny thing is that iPhones were never known for their battery sizes, but if...

T-Mobile is finally shutting down its 2G network, here's when

T-Mobile is still operating its 2G network, believe it or not, but not for long. The magenta carrier has announced that it will finally be shutting it down on August 3. T-Mobile is the last US carrier to do so - AT&T was the first to retire its 2G network in 2017, and Verizon did it in 2020. T-Mobile stuck with 2G "to give customers and partners additional time to migrate legacy devices. Other carriers shut down their GSM networks earlier, and T-Mobile helped fill that gap by maintaining support while customers transitioned to newer technologies", a T-Mobile spokesperson...

The latest example comes from Germany, where the official OnePlus website is now advertising Oppo products.

Commodore Callback 8020 goes on pre-order for a lower price

Commodore announced its $499 Callback 8020 flip phone a couple of weeks ago, and apparently people didn't like the price. So now the device has gone up for pre-order as promised, but it starts at $399. That's some magic trick - making the product 20% cheaper before even launching it. Part of this is explained by the fact that the $399 price includes "eco-validated" RAM and storage, which means they're "remanufactured", aka reused, aka recycled, whatever you want to call it. If you want your RAM and storage to be new, you need to pay an extra $50 and then you're up to $449. Anyway,...

WhatsApp username reservations go live this week

WhatsApp is finally, after years of testing and anticipation, introducing usernames. You will be able to reserve yours starting "this week". The usernames themselves will only roll out "later this year" though, in a gradual manner. WhatsApp will notify you when they're available in your country. Obviously, with over three billion users, a lot of people will want the same username, so it's going to be a wild ride. WhatsApp says it's adding usernames because "a phone number is personal and it's tied to so many parts of your life", and "sometimes you just want to chat without handing over...

Comcast is spinning off NBCUniversal and Sky

Comcast is spinning off NBCUniversal and Sky into a new company. The split will leave Comcast with the cable, wireless, and business services, while the new company will handle the Universal theme parks, film and TV studios, NBC, Peacock, and Sky. This move practically undoes the 2011 acquisition of NBCUniversal by Comcast. So after 15 years of consolidation, it's now time for some de-consolidation. Interestingly, Comcast CEO Brian Roberts will remain "actively involved" in leading both companies after the split. Roberts, whose father Ralph founded the company in 1963, controls...
