Google Maps now highlights restaurants with delivery options
[ad_1] The feature is available now in at least the US, Canada and France, and likely other parts of the world as well. Yes, this Maps tweak is arguably a cruel reminder of all the places you can’t go while you’re staying at home during the pandemic. Look at it this way, though: unlike with […]
UK phone masts attacked over bogus 5G coronavirus conspiracies
[ad_1] While it’s not clear who exactly is behind the attacks, the culprits don’t appear to be checking for the presence of actual 5G — one attack in Birmingham wrecked a tower that provided LTE access at most. The threats against engineers have sometimes been levelled at employees for wired broadband companies, not cell service. […]
Apple may bring ‘real’ home screen widgets to iOS 14
[ad_1] The news may be supported by Twitter user Dongle’s recent post hinting at a new approach to wallpaper in iOS 14. Supposedly leaked screenshots of the wallpaper settings include a “home screen appearance” category that would allow for smart dynamic wallpapers that can be blurred, dark or flat-colored on demand. In theory, that could […]
FCC, FTC give providers 48 hours to block COVID-19 scam robocalls
[ad_1] The de facto order is not-so-subtly aimed at VoIP providers accused of easing access for these scam callers, including Connexum, SIPJoin and VoIP Terminator/BLMarketing.

Google Fi temporarily increases data limits to 30GB per month
[ad_1] Previously, users on the Flexible plan had 15GB of top-speed data per month. Once they used that, they’d be downgraded to 256kbps or asked to pay extra for more gigabytes, Phone Arena explains. Unlimited customers could use 22GB of top-speed data.

‘iPhone SE 2020’ rumored to launch soon
[ad_1] Especially because it seems like high-end phones are getting bigger and more expensive, there’s been a lot of interest in rumors over the last year or so that Apple will release another value-priced model.

Apple hints at item-tracking AirTags in support video
[ad_1] It’s still not certain when the AirTag will arrive (assuming there’s no change of plans). However, there have been persistent rumors of new budget iPhones launching in the near future.

T-Mobile family plans will include Quibi free for one year
[ad_1] Quibi short for “quick bites” is attempting to make short-form, mobile-only videos a thing. It’s enlisted celebrities and has a patent-pending technology called Turnstyle that lets you switch between portrait and landscape viewing modes — though there’s some debate over that. For most customers, the video service will cost $4.99 per month with ads […]
