Samsung is giving the Galaxy View another try, with a second-generation version of the oversized Android tablet said to be in the pipeline.

New iPhones for 2018 appeared in leaked videos this morning from sources that have their hands on dummy models. This wasn't the first time this sort of thing happened in the the last few years, but we're a bit surprised it's continued. What ever happened to the days when a smartphone didn't appear until the day it was announced by the company that had it manufactured? Is the fear of god gone from the lower ranks?

A leaked Apple service document has quietly conceded that the redesigned 2018 MacBook Pro keyboard is, indeed, intended to avoid the ongoing "sticky key" controversy, not just reduce noise. The third-generation 'board was billed by Apple as a fix for just how much sound its homegrown key mechanism produces when typed on.
