IFA 2020: Huawei shows it's not giving up on Europe
"Take a stand", or so the saying goes. At IFA 2020, Huawei has taken the expression to the literal extreme. The Chinese giant was one of the only major mobile manufacturers to be physically present with a booth/stand at the technology fair that is currently happening in Berlin. This is certainly a novel way to ensure that your presence is known in Europe, even though there are no new products lined up for announcements that will wow the masses.

Apple iFold: why a foldable smartphone from Apple both worries and intrigues me
"Foldable smartphones will be the next revolution," Samsung claimed in 2019 before the tumultuous launch of the Galaxy Fold. A follow-up, if not a launch, is coming from Apple according to the latest leaks about a future foldable iPhone. A prospect more than exciting for any technophile but which worries me precisely because Apple is in control.

End of the smartphone era? Huawei focuses on 5G
Huawei wants to concentrate again on its core business of network expansion and is reducing its orders for parts for the construction of new smartphones. This decision would create a huge hole in the coffers of suppliers, including LG and Samsung. But what would such a chain reaction look like? I say: Hooray, the smartphone era is coming to an end!
