Apple starts rolling out Mojave macOS update

If you have an early 2015 MacBook or later, mid-2012 MacBook Pro or later, a late 2012 iMac or later, or a mid-2012 MacBook Air or later, you’re eligible to get the latest version of macOS. Apple just released version 10.14, which it has codenamed Mojave. While considered a more minor software update, Mojave brings with it things like dark mode, Stacks file organization, better screenshot functionality, and a redesigned Mac App Store.

The beta has been out for a few months already but with a wider release, this signals that most of the kinks and bugs have been fixed now. The update also brings with it four ported versions of iOS apps: Apple News, Voice Memos, Home, and Stocks. This signals the convergence of the iOS and macOS systems. Apple has previously told developers it will be offering cross-platform tools for developers in the coming year. You can check if the update has made its way to you by looking for Mojave in the macOS App Store.

New leak shows off Huawei Mate 20 Pro in full

Huawei is set to unveil its new Mate phones on October 16^th and as we near said date, we’re getting more leaks. This time around SlashLeaks shares renders of what looks like the Mate 20 Pro enclosed in a blue silicone case. The back shows the rumoured triple-lens camera setup and the front “confirms” the rumour that the Mate 20 Pro won’t be sporting the teardrop-style notch to make room for the enhanced face-scanning tech. The Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro are said to include an in-screen fingerprint scanner, which this render somehow confirms with the lack of a cut-out for the rear fingerprint scanner. Some of the other rumoured specs include wireless charging support, and a new NM card, which is Huawei’s take on a standard memory card format.

Samsung might offer a Galaxy S10 model with flat display

Review: Samsung Galaxy S9Samsung might be taking its cue from Apple’s latest release and will be offering a third Galaxy S10 model that could be considered an “entry-level” phone and one featuring a flat display. Since Samsung launched the Galaxy S8, the company has done away with flat displays for its flagship models. The rumour this time is there might be one more affordable variant of the upcoming flagship. This third model will reportedly have a 5.8-inch flat display, carry a single camera sensor in the back, and won’t pack in a display-based fingerprint sensor. Meanwhile, the successors of the Galaxy S9 and S9+ will carry 5.8-inch and 6.44-inch curved displays, respectively.

If Samsung were developing a more affordable version of the S10, it would make sense to out a device with a flat display to help cut costs. Now, we have to wait until next year to see if there is any truth to these rumours.
