A little more than a year after its launch, the HomePod has received what appears to be a permanent price drop. On Monday, 9to5Mac was among the first to note that the price of the premium smart speaker has dropped from $349 to $299 on Apple’s website. This new, lower price applies to both the White and Space Gray models.

In addition to lowering the price of the HomePod in the US, Apple has slashed the price around the world as well. For instance, in the UK, the HomePod now retails for £279, down from £319.

The Galaxy S10 has been a great success for Samsung and the company is getting ready to launch the 5G version of the phone in select markets. Then the Galaxy Fold, Samsung’s first ever foldable smartphone, will also be made available to consumers later this month. That said, we’ve already seen a bunch of rumors detailing the next major Samsung flagship, the Galaxy Note 10, which should hit stores at some point in August. We’ve heard some great things about the Galaxy Note 10 so far, but a new report suggests that the phone’s signature feature might actually end up having a negative impact on its design.

One of the hot trends in smartphone design these days is to give users more screen real estate by taking the traditional smartphone form factor and making it foldable. We’ve covered everything from book-like foldable screens a la the Samsung Galaxy Fold — which can double as a phone or a phablet-sized device depending on if it’s folded or open — to screens that curl up closed from the bottom to produce a second smaller screen, bendable screens and a whole lot of other interesting and at times zany variants. And then there’s China-based Oppo, which has apparently decided it can accommodate extra screens in its future handsets by taking design cues from a non-foldable and surprisingly retro source.

With just five months to go before Apple’s next-generation iPhone 11 series is announced, leaks have definitely begun to pick up pace in recent weeks. For Apple fans, that’s both good news and bad news. The good news is that hardcore Apple fans love to learn about what their favorite company is up to before anyone else. The bad news is that their favorite company might not be up to anything too impressive in 2019 when it comes to new iPhone hardware. According to everything we’ve seen so far, Apple’s upcoming iPhone 11 series will use the same overall design that iPhones have been using since the iPhone X debuted in 2017. In fact, it appears as though we’re looking at a situation that’s similar to the iPhone 7, when Apple used the same iPhone design for a third consecutive year and only changed the camera on the back.

In the case of the iPhone 11, it might end up looking identical to the iPhone X and iPhone XS on the front, but the back is shaping up to be quite different. Rather than a somewhat small camera bump that houses Apple’s dual-lens rear camera array, the iPhone 11 will apparently have a massive camera bump with three camera lenses and an LED flash. It gives us hope that Apple is planning a major camera upgrade for its new iPhones in 2019, which is great news because Apple’s iPhones are falling way behind leaders like Huawei and Google in the camera department. Now, a new leak seemingly firms up the camera design we’ve seen numerous times in the iPhone 11 leaks, which suggests just about everything else we’ve seen so far is likely accurate as well.

It’s been a busy week for Disney and Marvel when it comes to promoting the new Avengers movie. We saw a brand new Special Look clip on Tuesday that showed a lot of new footage, and a TV spot followed revealing additional unseen scenes. But that’s not all the new Endgame footage fans got to see this week. If you were in attendance at CinemaCon 2019 this week, you saw a clip that Marvel is yet to share with the world, a scene that spoils a significant plot detail from the first act. Of course, most MCU fans haven’t been that lucky, but at least you get to read about it — beware, spoilers follow below.
