Samsung customer support accidentally pasted ChatGPT prompt to the customer 😭

Aptoide Games, a gaming-focused third-party app store, is now directly available in the Google Play Store in the US

The move follows years of legal pressure from Epic Games and Google’s recent changes allowing qualifying third-party app stores onto the US Play Store.

Google's RGB Torch Gimmick Feature i.e 'HiLight' would remain exclusive to the Google Pixel 11 Pro models only. Additionally, the Pixel 11 would not get any updated telephoto lens either

Apple gears up for Apple Intelligence launch in China

Strings spotted in the latest iOS 27 beta 5 shows that Apple is ready to support Apple Intelligence in China. Here's how they would be doing it:

"Apple Intelligence is built for privacy. To comply with laws and regulations, Apple Intelligence in China uses a safety mechanism provided by a local company. Your requests are processed on-device and not sent to Apple or the safety mechanism provider. As required by law, Apple will collect anonymized safety results and share them in aggregate. The safety mechanism will download and update automatically."

Now this so-called “Safety mechanism” is basically a euphemism for the censorship engine. It’s a filter for unauthorized content in China and a way to rapidly update models with changes provided by the Chinese government.

All old and new iPhone models will get a $100 price increase with the iPhone 18 series launch in September.

So, buy the current iPhone 17 series if you are planning on getting one before Apple hikes up the price when the iPhone 18 series debuts worldwide.

Pixel Gboard features unlocked

Just found this solid repo: Gboard-patches

It’s a Morphe source that lets you patch official Gboard to unlock a bunch of Pixel-exclusive / gated features plus some really practical upgrades:

- AI Writing Tools (all languages)
- Advanced Voice Typing + auto punctuation
- Grammar Checker & Smart Compose / Inline Suggestions
- Clipboard enhancements (retention, limits, previews, Web Clipboard portal)
- OCR / Scan Text
- Long-press editing shortcuts, custom symbols, key shape options, developer flags, etc.
- Plus some nice Taiwan-focused Zhuyin tweaks

You can install the patched version alongside stock Gboard (Package Rename) or replace it.

Note: for some of the AI tools to actually work you need to import the libs from the bundled Gboard APK into the normal one.

Pretty clean and useful if you want those Pixel Gboard goodies on any device.

Your first look at the Windows Surface Smartphone that never launched

Before Microsoft acquired Nokia, the company was heavily rumoured to be working on its own in-house Windows Phone device that was expected to ship in 2014 under the Surface moniker. Unfortunately, such a device never saw the light of day, but newly published images of a mysterious prototype might have just given us our first & only look at what Microsoft was exploring internally.

- Codenamed Raven (likely)
- Unknown Qualcomm Processor
- 720p HD Display
- Headphone Jack
- Micro-USB
- Power button on top

It has dedicated hardware keys for navigation, which are also coated in the same silver color as the chassis.

The build of Windows Phone that it’s running appears to be from September 2013, and is from an internal development branch building towards what eventually became Windows Phone 8.1.

Development on this device was likely paused once Microsoft acquired Nokia in 2014.

Honestly, this phone looks so gorgeous 😍

Here's a better and complete look at the Microsoft Windows Surface Smartphone

The screen says "goodbye" just like how it's on the Nokia Lumia running Windows 8 or Windows 10 mobile.

The power button is visible at the top while the large speakers and headphone jack are visible at the bottom alongside the Micro-USB port.
