A few days ago, Google brought one of the features that was missing from the desktop Google Maps experience to the mobile versions of the app. That’s Street View support, which can now easily be enabled from the layers button. The feature is only available on Android for the time being though, which is hardly surprising. But Google also brought a handy feature to the iPhone version of Google Maps that doesn’t seem to be available on Android, which is quite strange considering Android is, you know, Google’s own mobile platform.

If you have a MacBook, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, or any one of a number of new Chromebook and Windows 10 laptop models, you probably love how sleek and fast it is. But you probably also hate how big and bulky the included USB-C charging brick is. I know I do! That’s why I ditched mine and picked up an Anker PowerPort Atom PD 1 30W Ultra Compact USB-C Wall Charger instead. It’s barely bigger than an iPhone charger but it’s nice and fast at 30W. It’s also on sale right now for just $21.89!

2019 was poised to be the year of the foldable smartphone, but serious issues with Galaxy Fold review units forced Samsung to delay the release date from April to September. The first of the month came and went without any news, but on Wednesday, Reuters reported that the Galaxy Fold will go on sale in Samsung’s home country of South Korea on Friday, September 6th. International release dates likely aren’t far behind.

A source from a major mobile carrier in South Korea tells Reuters that the phone will cost 2.4 million won (~$1,990), perhaps indicating that the price drop rumor was off-base. Unsurprisingly, Samsung declined to comment on the story, but if the report is accurate, we’ll know by the end of the week, if not later today.

Remember when we told you that Intel’s 10th-gen chips would allow PC vendors to create slim, powerful machines ready to deliver better gaming and productivity than before? Well, Razer is one of the many OEMs that’s putting those 10th-gen chips to good use inside its brand new Blade Stealth 13 laptops that were just unveiled at IFA 2019. According to the company, the Blade Stealth 13 will be available in three distinct builds and it is the world’s first gaming ultrabook.

If you missed it earlier this week when we told you about accidental deals that slashed Anker’s top-rated AA and AAA batteries to much lower prices than they were supposed to, we have good news: Amazon still hasn’t fixed it! 24-packs of Anker Alkaline AAA Batteries were supposed to drop to $8.99, but a rogue 35% coupon slashes the price all the way down to just $5.84. Meanwhile, 24-packs of Anker Alkaline AA Batteries were going to go on sale for $10.99 according to Anker, but there’s an extra 23% coupon that cuts the price to only $8.46. Again, these deals are both mistakes and it’s likely that they’ll be fixed soon, but Amazon will honor the current discounted prices so grab them while you can!

With all the leaks that have spilled out across the internet over the past year, it seems like there can’t possibly be anything left to leak. The first details surrounding Apple’s upcoming new iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max first began to trickle out about 12 months ago, when top Apple insider Ming-Chi Kuo of TF International Securities detailed next-gen iPhones that would sport huge camera upgrades and a new design with frosted glass on the back. As time rolled on, we learned more and more about Apple’s next-generation iPhone lineup until finally, the inevitable happened: Apple’s iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro designs were stolen from the Foxconn factory at which they’ll be manufactured. It happens each and every year, and it leads to a slew of renders that give us a very good idea of what Apple’s new iPhones will look like.

Such was the case this year, though most of the renders and physical mockups we’ve seen are wrong in several key areas. There was one image that came a bit closer to showing us what the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max will actually look like, but now we might have something even better. A huge leak may have just revealed the first-ever photo of an iPhone 11 model in the wild.

The iPhone 11 model depicted in the render above is pretty much all anyone can talk about right now, which certainly makes sense considering we’re less than one week away from seeing Apple finally make them official. The iPhone 11 Pro pictured above and its iPhone 11 Pro Max counterpart will reportedly be this year’s successors to the iPhone XS and XS Max, flagship models with killers specs and sky-high prices tags. They’ll feature new triple-lens rear cameras and a tweaked design to go along with a new A13 processor that pushes performance to new heights. Then, for those who don’t want to spend over $1,000 on a new smartphone, the new iPhone 11 will replace Apple’s current-generation iPhone XR lineup. It’ll be a lot like the iPhone 11 Pro models but with slightly less impressive specs, an LCD screen in place of the Pro models’ OLED, a dual-lens rear camera instead of the new triple-lens shooter, and a variety of color options.

The iPhone 11 will indeed be less expensive than Apple’s high-end iPhone 11 Pro models, but it’s still expected to start at $750 like Apple’s current iPhone XR models. And with its 6.1-inch display, the iPhone 11 will also still fall squarely into the “phablet” category, leaving people who want a more manageable iPhone without any options unless they want to buy the 2-year-old iPhone 8 or the 3-year-old iPhone 7. Even then, the phones’ 4.7-inch screen and large bezels still make them fairly sizeable. As it turns out, there might be a fourth new iPhone model that’s more compact coming in the next-generation iPhone product cycle, and the news comes from a source that has accurately leaked Apple’s plans in the past.
