New iPhone dummy models fondled on video

It's the iPhone dummy model season. 

Just days ago, we saw what Apple's upcoming 6.1-inch and 6.5-inch iPhones look like, thanks to some dummy models shared by leaker Ben Geskin. 

Now, we're treated to (different) dummy models of the same devices in a short video, shared by leaker Steve Hemmerstoffer (via Tigermobiles.com). 

SEE ALSO: This is probably what Apple's upcoming iPhones will look like

The most notable difference between the new and the old dummy models is that this time, we get to see the 6.1-inch model — the one with the single rear camera — in white color.

Size difference aside, the 6.5-inch dummy is a dead ringer for the iPhone X. Both dummies have a noticeable camera bump, which — to my eyes — looks to be the same size as the one on the iPhone X.  Read more...

Samsung confirms slow Galaxy S9 sales in quarterly report

Samsung’s latest quarterly earnings confirm what analysts were expecting: the Galaxy S9’s sales aren't so hot.

In Samsung’s just released Q2 report, the South Korean electronics conglomerate missed the mark on Galaxy S9 sales targets. The smartphone, which was released at the end of last quarter, accounts for a major chunk of Samsung’s 4 percent year on year drop in revenue.
