Instead of making everything in-house (as with previous IBM projects), the design team decided to outsource as much as possible. This led to an open platform that allowed other companies to build accessories, write software and even build entire "IBM PC Compatibles". Since the PC used an Intel processor (8088) and Microsoft software (PC-DOS and Microsoft BASIC), this was the birth of the "Wintel" behemoth. Mobile phones never really had an "IBM...

Google Pixel sales more than doubled in Q2 thanks to Pixel 3a

On Wednesday, Google has released its Q2 earnings report which overviews the company's bottom lines and breaks down where the company is making money.

Following the release of the Pixel 3a, Google felt it necessary to explicitly point out that its Pixel device sales have increased by over two times, year over year, thanks to a couple of factors. The biggest factor is the launch of a significantly cheaper Google...

It's official: Apple buys Intel's smartphone modem business for $1 billion

For a long time Apple has been looking to lessen its dependence on Qualcomm for smartphone modems. For a few years it used Intel parts in its handsets alongside Qualcomm's, but after the settlement between Apple and Qualcomm a few months ago, Intel was left out, being forced to exit the nascent 5G modem business with no other customers lined up. Now Apple has gone ahead and acquired Intel's smartphone modem business, as previously rumored. Apple will pay $1 billion for the transaction, expected to close in the fourth quarter of this year. Approximately 2,200 Intel employees working on...

O2 UK switches on 5G in six cities in October

In the UK, Vodafone and EE have already launched limited 5G service in a few cities, and Three is going to join in the fun next month. Up until now O2 was the only operator that stayed mum on its 5G rollout plans, but not anymore. O2's initial 5G deployment will reach six UK cities starting in October. That timeline may be a disappointment to its customers, given how much time its competitors would by then have had to market 5G left and right. The cities in the first wave are going to be Belfast, Cardiff, Edinburgh, London, Slough, and Leeds, and this selection shall apparently...
