This week’s poll was all about audio question and being forced to make a decision. If you could only have one, which would you choose: stereo front-facing speakers or a 3.5mm headphone jack? There’s no problem if you want both. No problem at all. Except you’re not allowed. In this poll that’s all about audio, you have to choose. So it comes down to what you get the most out of.

Nevertheless, we consumers should still white-knuckle our wired headphones. Wireless technology just isn’t there yet.

Blackberry isn’t quite ready to show off the Key3, but today it unveiled a new variant of the Key2 as a consolation prize. We had the opportunity to go hands-on with the Key2 Red Edition in its bolder new color. The Key2 Red has an identical design to the standard edition, aside from the new and livelier red color.

Apple unveiled a variety of new products during its WWDC 2013 keynote, including iOS 7, the next-gen operating system for its mobile devices including the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

You can chalk up a lot of it to Apple’s 5nm A14 Bionic chip.

So can the iPhone SE (2022) pose a threat to affordable Android flagships this year?

Gary Sims / Android Authority TL;DR Apple will likely continue to rely on Samsung to supply components for the M2. Samsung would provide a critical component necessary in high-performance chip design. Apple is hard at work on its upcoming M2 chips, and it looks like Samsung could continue to play a key role in manufacturing them. Apple and Samsung’s relationship is a complicated one, with the companies usually taking the top two slots in the smartphone market.
