Author's Note: This story has been edited to correct a mistake after Dell reached out. The issue with the OLED screen stems solely from adhesive problems and does not involve any screws. There have been reports of some Dell XPS 13 Plus laptops having major issues with its OLED screen cropping up recently. The company has reportedly been following up with those affected, according to an official statement sent to The Verge concerning the issue. The Dell XPS 13 Plus , which we reviewed and concluded that it was a stylish yet ultimately flawed laptop, is apparently having issues with the adhesive keeping the screen attached to the chassis coming out.

When did satellite-capable phones and watches get so hot? First T-Mobile and Starlink enter a tech partnership to bring satellite connectivity to just about any T-Mobile 5G phone. Then rumors crop up that Apple is looking to bring some satellite capabilities to the iPhone 14 , which most expect to launch next week on September 7 . Those new communication platform abilities even extend, possibly, to the Apple Watch 8 . What's going on? Maybe it's the tenor of the world. There are, to be fair, a lot of bad, scary things happening on our little blue orb right now. We have war in Ukraine, wildfires, floods, and spasms of violence. What most of these things have in common is that, in these situations, you usually want to call for help ASAP. If the disaster hits your infrastructure, power to your home, landlines, and cell towers, the ones that support 4G, LTE, and 5G, your usual avenues of communication might be cut off.

Sony is coming back to smartphone gaming by establishing the new PlayStation Studios Mobile Division, revealing its first member, the recently acquired Savage Game Studios. Don’t worry; PlayStation isn’t shifting gears to focus solely on mobile games. Console gaming will still be Sony's forte. The company is simply expanding.

Such moves, by the way, seem to have paid off. God of War , for example, managed to sell over two million copies when it made the jump to desktop. But unlike those ports, Sony plans to create brand new games for mobile with some titles being based on established PlayStation franchises. It’s confirmed that developers under the Mobile Division umbrella “will operate independ...
