Ahead of its September 14 launch, the LG Wing's name gets confirmed by the company. The new smartphone features a unique dual-display design with screens the swivelling into a T shape. The Wing will reportedly be a 5G device with a triple rear camera setup (including a 64-megapixel primary lens) and run on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7-series chipset.

LG is introducing this new smartphone form factor under a new mobile category it's calling the Explorer Project, which aims at "discovering new ways to interact with mobile devices... and challenging established user norms." The Wing will "deliver a new and different form factor and mobile experience that would be impossible to create with conventional smartphones."

Epic Games files preliminary injunction to allow 'Fortnite' back on Apple App Store

Epic Games' latest move following its developer account termination by Apple is asking the courts to allow Fortnite back on the App Store and restore its developer account. Epic claims in its filing that it was challenging Apple "because it was the right thing to do" and that it was "better positioned than many other companies to weather the storm." Epic calls Apple a "monopolist" who keeps its dominant spot by "explicitly prohibiting any competitive entry" when it comes to in-app payment processing and app distribution.

But while it can weather the said storm, the developer said that Fortnite not being available on the App Store will cause it to "likely suffer irreparable harm." That the "balance of harms tips strongly in Epic's favour," with daily iOS active users dropping by over 60% since its removal from Apple's storefront.

A leaked photo of an internal Vodaphone document shows the reported release date of the upcoming Google Pixel 5, 4a 5G, and 4a phones in Germany. In the picture above, you can see that all three units will supposedly drop on September 25 in the country, which could also be the release date in other countries, including ours. This date also suggests that the public launch for the Google Pixel 5 and 4a 5G will be held soon. The tech giant did promise a fall release for the phones, so this rumoured launch will line up with that statement.
