Ahead of its September 5th launch, Honor‘s marketing campaign for the Magic V3 foldable phone has been nothing if not aggressive. From a Guinness World Record attempt to thinly veiled digs at Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 6, the company hasn’t shied away from a bit of controversy.
In their latest effort, Honor printed a message directly on the hinge of the Magic V3 as an “apology” to Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 owners. To add to the spectacle, they are calling it the “world’s smallest apology to Samsung owners on the world’s thinnest foldable phone.”
Samsung’s upcoming flagship, the Galaxy S25 Ultra, has been a hot topic in the rumor mill lately. Following earlier reports of a redesigned frame with rounded corners for improved ergonomics, a new leak now suggests the phone could be the thinnest and lightest Ultra model yet.
OnePlus has had its fair share of criticism for its products like any other major brand. However, in just a couple of years, the growing number of issues on its smartphones might be creating long term issues for the brand. OnePlus finally broke the silence regarding its latest motherboard failing issue, but is it enough? What more can the company do to retain customer trust?
Apple Intelligence was announced at this year’s WWDC in June. Although the exact release timeline for the public remains unclear, a host of AI features are expected to debut in the next year on the company’s iPhones, iPads, and Macs. The Cupertino-based tech giant has been releasing beta versions. The Developer Beta 3 of the latest iOS and iPadOS 18.1 and macOS 15.1 Sequoia bring an AI-powered ‘Clean Up’ tool in the Photos app. This is Apple’s answer to Google’s Magic Eraser and Samsung’s Object Eraser.
