Moto G6 Play leaked images show off a Moto X4-like design and bezel-less display

Lenovo Motos upcoming smartphone series includes a new E-series and G-series lineup. While the three Moto E phones have been leaked in the past -- the Moto E5, Moto E5 Play and the Moto E5 Plus -- that replace the Moto C phones of 2017, three Moto G phones -- Moto G6, Moto G6 Plus and the Moto G6 Play -- are also rumoured that would fill the Moto G5(s) boots. New leaked images show off the design of Moto G6 Play in full glory.

The Moto G6 Play has been leaked by the Taiwanese certification agency NCC and was first spotted by TrendyTechz. The Play variant is said to be cheaper of the three Moto G6 phones, housing a lower end chip and a big battery. But from the photos it is clear that it carries an upgraded design taken from the more premium Moto X4 (but it may not be waterproof).

The phone appears to have a metal unibody design with a thin-bezel display at front. The glass back is rounded at the edges and there is also a single-sensor camera module dominating the rear. The fingerprint scanner is also placed at the back, underneath the M logo.

Rumoured details of phone say it will be powered by a Snapdragon 430 chip with 3GB RAM and 32GB storage. There may also be a 4GB/64GB version of the phone. It will have a 5.7-inch display with an 18:9-aspect ratio and, most probably, an HD+(1440x720) resolution. But one this clearly visible in the photos Lenovo still sticks to the Micro USB port for its mid-range devices.

The phone is expected to come with a 4000-mAh battery that would offset the phones big display power requirements, though its low resolution will also help. A 16-megapixel sensor is said to be doing the duty both at front and the rear.

Moto G6 Play may run Android Oreo out of the box, though by the time the phone actually gets launch in India, Google may be ready with the Android P. Like last year, the phones may get launched in the month of March or early April.

Apple releases new iOS 12 beta, putting a stop to infuriating update notification

A new iOS update is now available (for real) “A new iOS update is now available. Please update from the iOS 12 beta.” If you’ve been running the latest version of Apple’s beta software for OS 12, you’ve likely been pestered by this notification a whole lot over the last 24 hours. Dozens of times? Potentially hundreds? Yesterday, it started showing up every time an iOS device was unlocked — or even if you just pulled down the notification tray a little bit. Thankfully, just as we enter Labor Day weekend, Apple has shipped another iOS 12 update to restore sanity. If you open up your iPhone’s settings, iOS 12 public beta 10 (developer beta 12) is now available to download. Once you do, the obnoxious, constant alert — about an update that didn’t even exist — will go away. GuilhermeRamo managed to pinpoint what went wrong with the last iOS 12 beta. The build thought it was about to expire, thus setting off the string of notifications and mass frustration: This annoying hiccup...

Apple sold fewer iPhones but made more money thanks to the iPhone

Apple’s first quarterly earnings reports for 2018 are in, and the company has reported that it sold 77.3 million iPhones in Q1 2018 (which includes the holiday season). That number is down 1.24 percent year over year from last year (78.3 million). But despite the slump in sales, iPhone revenue increased overall year over year, up 11.69 percent from $54.38 billion to $61.58 billion. While predictions for the average sale price of iPhone units sold during the quarter ranged from $710 to $755, the actual ASP was $796 (compared to $694 in Q1 2017), which directly explains the increase of revenue despite the decrease in sales. That said, despite the record revenue, analysts were still expecting a slight increase of approximately 1.5 percent year over year for units shipped, not a decrease. My estimate for iPhone units was expecting a lot more iPhone 8 with an average pricing of $710. Actual ASP was $796. A LOT of iPhon...
