Galaxy Note 7 Update will Limit Charging Capacity

It's being reported that Samsung is going to push an obligatory OTA update to Galaxy Note 7 devices. This is said to be a temporary safety measure, and Samsung hopes it will encourage people get their smartphone replaced. Once the update has been applied, the Galaxy Note 7 will only be able to charge up to 2,100mAh (which is 60 percent of its 3,500mAh capacity battery).

Some iPhone 7 Models Will Use Intel Basebands

Analysts are reporting that Intel is leveraging its purchase of Infineon Technologies' Wireless Solutions business, Avago Technologies network business, and Lantiq to replace Qualcomm as the supplier of cellular radios for some models of the iPhone 7. Apple has a history of attempting to dual-source their components, and the baseband was a key part that until recently they were sourcing exclusively from Qualcomm. This change is believed to be one of the key reasons that Apple dropped CDMA support from some iPhone 7 models.
