However, the court reduced the fine from €242 million to €238.7 million.The case concerns Qualcomm's contract with British software maker Icera, which is now part of Nvidia. Between 2009 and 2011, Qualcomm sold chips below cost. This practice aims to exclude other competitors from the potential deal.Qualcomm has put forward numerous appeals, including one that claims the Qualcomm-Icera deal accounted for just 0.7% of the Universal Mobile Telecommunications...

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] Things aren’t going the way Apple was hoping. Before September, analysts reported that Apple would be building more iPhone 16 phones, mostly upping the number of Pro models produced. Now that the first week of pre-orders is done, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo compiled data that shows that pre-orders are down and it’s mostly the fault of the two Pro models (the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus numbers actually went up!).Let’s look at the results from last week’s poll to try and figure out what went wrong. Apple didn’t increase the prices, which was great to see. The higher charge rates over USB-C and MagSafe...

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] Ever since Apple made its first big iPhone in 2014 (happy anniversary, iPhone 6 Plus), the smaller Pro model has been sitting in its shadow. Most years saw a specs disparity with the Pro Max model getting some form of advantage - like the 5x zoom camera, which was only offered on the iPhone 15 Pro Max.This year, on the other hand, the smaller Pro shines alongside its bigger counterpart. Size aside, this is every bit a Pro iPhone as the Pro Max. They even share the same two-accessory retail box - you get a braided USB-C cable and a SIM tool.So what's new? The iPhone 16 Pro has a...

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] Pre-orders for the new iPhone 16 series started Friday last week and this Friday the new Apple phones went on sale. The big question now is should you buy one? And if not, what then? Last week we focused on refurbished iPhones as an alternative. This week we will focus on what the Android world has to offer.We start with Google. The Pixel 9 has a 6.3” OLED display, not an LTPO, but it does run at 120Hz (making the iPhone 16’s 60Hz display look ancient). The Tensor G4 is no match for the Apple A18 in general performance, but it handles Google’s AI features just fine – and those AI features...
