Earlier this year, we reported that Apple will be dropping its R&D for an all-in-one charger for their devices, such as the iPhone, AirPods, etc.

Well, Apple's failure was several companies gain as we've found several companies that are offering such a device and for way cheaper than what Apple would have charged.

One such device is called the ZIKU Wireless Charger.6 in 1 Aluminum Alloy 80W 14A 5-Port USB Wireless Charging Stand Station Dock for Airpods/Apple Watch 5/4/3/2/1 iPhone 11 Pro Max/X/XS/XR/Xs Max/8/8 Plus-Built-in Adapter (Gray)

This all-in-one device (pictured above) charges your iPhone, Apple Watch, and the Apple AirPods at an affordable price of $59.99.

Roku gets hit hard in Streaming Wars

CompuScoop Staff November 8, 2019 0

Roku is one of the smallest soldiers in the so-called streaming wars. It may also have one of the biggest targets on its back.

The maker of TV-streaming devices registered a stock decline of 16% Thursday after reporting third-quarter results the previous day… The company’s revenue forecast for the fourth quarter was deemed a disappointment, with the midpoint suggesting 39% growth from a year earlier, barely above Wall Street’s targets. The addition of 1.7 million net new active accounts in the third quarter also fell slightly below analyst forecasts.

Before Wednesday’s results, Roku’s share price had surged nearly fivefold just since the start of the year. Even with Thursday’s drop, the stock is still fetching about 10 times forward revenue… That is a lot to put on a company still not generating operating earnings or positive free cash flow on a reliable basis. And it makes Roku’s shares extra vulnerable to even small perceived challenges. The stock fell in September after Apple Inc. laid out the plans for its new, low-price streaming service that will actually end up contributing to Roku’s platform business.

OOPS! Google’s Pixel 4XL Cracks Under Pressure

CompuScoop Staff November 7, 2019 0

We’ve come a long way from 2014, which is when early iPhone 6 buyers discovered an annoying problem. Apply enough pressure on those first-gen thin aluminum frames, and you could bend them without damaging the structure of the phone. Apple was quick to fix its “Bendgate” problem and made sure it never happened again.

But every new iPhone since the iPhone 6 was tested for bending problems, with YouTube channel JerryRigEverything being a constant source of durability tests for new devices. The same test is performed on every major new phone, and the Pixel 4 just received the same treatment.
