Huawei denies termination of its partnership with Leica

There was a rumour going around that the four-year partnership between Huawei and Leica is over. But the Chinese phone maker refutes the story saying it's "absolutely fake news." Android Authority also reached out to Leica, and a representative told them they "have no information about the termination of the partnership."

Digital Chat Station, a prominent leaker on Chinese micro-blogging site Weibo, reported that other Chinese smartphone manufacturers are contacting Leica. Their collaboration began in 2016 with the launch of the Huawei P9. Leica has been helping Huawei with everything from image processing to the camera module and UI designs. Every Huawei flagship launched since then have carried the Leica branding.

The company announced on the first anniversary of the service that it would be building a progressive web app version of Stadia that will run on Safari, with public testing happening in the coming weeks.

While Microsoft was the first to announce that it would be bringing its xCloud service to iOS via the same means, the platform won't be arriving until next year.

NVIDIA launches its GeForce Now game streaming service on iOS. But since the service technically doesn't adhere to Apple's App Store guidelines, the company employed the workaround Apple offers, which means it's usable through Safari.

"It'll be brought directly to the browser through a webpage similar to our Chromebook client," according to Phil Eisler, general manager for GeForce Now. And it's launching in beta, so you might experience bugs and glitches.
