Motorola recently launched the Edge 60 Fusion and this model will soon be joined in the company’s roster by the Edge 60, which we’ve seen in some official-looking renders a few days ago. Today some more details about the Edge 60’s colorways have been outed. The phone will allegedly initially arrive in two hues: Pantone Shamrock Green and Gibraltar Sea, portrayed in the leaked promo images below.

CalDigit today announced the upcoming launch of two new Thunderbolt 5 docks, the TS5 and the TS5 Plus. Both docks support transfer speeds of up to 80Gb/s with a speed boost feature when paired with Apple’s Thunderbolt 5 Macs.
The TS5 has a total of 15 ports, including four Thunderbolt 5 ports, two USB-A ports, three USB-C ports (including two at the front), a headphone jack, an SD card slot, a microSD card slot, and a 2.5Gb Ethernet port. One of the front charging ports supports 20W charging.
The TS5 Plus has 20 ports, including three Thunderbolt 5 ports, five USB-C ports (two at the front), 5 USB-A ports, a headphone jack, an SD card slot, a microSD card slot, and a 10Gb Ethernet port. One of the front ports supports 36W charging, as do two of the rear Thunderbolt 5 ports, so it is able to charge more devices. There is a Dual USB 10Gb/s controller design for better USB performance.
Both docks offer 140W power delivery, which is enough to charge Apple’s 16-inch MacBook Pro at full speed. On the Mac, the displays support two 4K 240Hz displays or dual 8K 60Hz displays. All of the Thunderbolt 5 ports support Bandwidth Boost, so the default 80Gb/s speed is boosted to 120Gb/s for more demanding displays.
The TS5 Plus is priced at $500 and it will be available to purchase from the CalDigit website in late April. The TS5 is priced at $370 and it will be available for purchase in late May.
Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 is coming this year, most likely in October, and last month its AnTuTu score got leaked showing massive improvements compared to the original 8 Elite. Today a new rumor out of China shares some more details about Qualcomm’s next top of the line SoC. It is said to be using second-generation Oryon CPU Cores, which will increase performance by about 25%. The GPU’s independent cache is also allegedly growing from 12MB to 16MB, and GPU performance will be increased by about 30% overall. The chip will support LPDDR5X and LPDDR6 RAM too. Those are all the…
YouTube channel Front Page Tech is back today with another video that provides a closer look at iOS 19’s alleged design changes.
The video contains re-created renders of iOS 19, which are allegedly based on real footage of the software update, provided by sources within Apple. Overall, iOS 19 is expected to have a more glass-like, visionOS-inspired design, with added translucency for user interface elements like buttons, menus, notifications, and more.
The most notable new detail in today’s video is that Front Page Tech host Jon Prosser now believes that iOS 19 will feature rounder app icons, although he is not sure if they will be entirely circular like they are on visionOS.
Prosser said the rounder app icons are hidden by default on internal iOS 19 builds. Apparently, tapping on a squircle app icon results in it switching to the rounder design, following a brief animation. It is possible that Apple is attempting to hide this obvious design change from onlookers until iOS 19 is announced at WWDC in June.
Another alleged change is the addition of a pill-shaped tab bar at the bottom of many built-in apps, including the App Store, Apple Music, Apple TV, Messages, and Phone apps, among others. On the search tab, there is an elongated search bar, with a circular button to the left of it that you can tap on to return to the expanded tab bar. The video shows off a new animation when you switch between tabs in the bar.
In the Messages app, the search bar appears to be persistent.
The renders also reveal that Apple has adopted more rounded corners for some elements, including the Haptic Touch menus that appear when you long press on an app icon, as well as the volume and display brightness sliders in Control Center. Permission prompts for camera and microphone access also have an updated appearance.
The alleged design changes extend to the Settings app, which appears to have slimmer toggles, and to the default keyboard.
Last, Prosser said iOS 19 adds a subtle lighting effect to some elements, which contributes to the rumored glass-like appearance. For example, he said the default Flashlight and Camera controls at the bottom of the Lock Screen shimmer as you move the iPhone.
The first iOS 19 beta should be available immediately following the WWDC keynote on June 9, and the update should be released in September.
Huawei launched the mid-range Enjoy 70X back in January, and now it seems like it’s almost ready to give us a slightly toned down version, called Enjoy 70X Lite. This has been leaked today in a couple of live hands-on images, which you can see below. We also have specs to talk about. Intriguingly, the 70X Lite will be powered by a Snapdragon chipset, unlike the 70X which uses the Kirin 8000A. This means the Lite version won’t have 5G support since Huawei can’t use 5G Snapdragon chips due to the US sanctions against it. Huawei Enjoy 70X Lite leaked hands-on images It will be…
Apple today stopped signing iOS 18.3.2, a week after releasing the iOS 18.4 update. Now that iOS 18.3.2 is not being signed, iPhone users who have upgraded to iOS 18.4 are not able to downgrade to a version of iOS 18.3.
It is typical for Apple to stop signing an older version of iOS after releasing an update, and the process keeps iPhone users from installing outdated versions of iOS. “Signing” refers to a server-side verification check that’s done when versions of iOS are downloaded onto an iPhone. Only software that passes the verification check is able to be installed.
Preventing downgrading ensures that customers have the latest security improvements and are not vulnerable to known attacks or security holes.
Ahead of when new reciprocal tariffs go into effect on April 9, Apple customers are scrambling to buy devices before prices go up. Multiple Apple employees that spoke to Bloomberg said their stores have been packed with customers “panic-buying” iPhones. “Almost every customer asked me if prices were going to go up soon,” one Apple worker was quoted as saying.
The rush at retail stores was comparable to the busyness of a holiday season, with Apple providing no guidance on what employees should tell customers. Apple’s retail stores reportedly experienced higher sales on April 5 and 6 than they have in prior years during the same time period.
Apple has been preparing for the tariffs and has stockpiled iPhones and other devices in the United States. According to The Times of India, Apple shipped five planes full of iPhones and other devices from India to the U.S. during the final week of March, while also bringing in iPhones from China during what is traditionally a slow time. The reserves, which could last for several months, will allow Apple to avoid price increases in the near term.
Earlier today, The Wall Street Journal said that Apple would mitigate some of the tariff impact by importing more iPhones to the U.S. from India, as India has a lower tariff rate than China. Apple could meet as much as 50 percent of U.S. iPhone demand with devices sourced from India. Apple has to pay a 26 percent tariff on goods from India, but China’s rate is at 54 percent.
Apple stock has fallen almost 20 percent since last Wednesday, but Apple has not commented publicly on the tariff situation. The company has an earnings call planned for May 1, which is when we could hear more about Apple’s mitigation plan.
