Smartphones have become so useful that the ways they make our lives easier is taken for granted. This has become true to the point that the majority of the news about smartphones is how they negatively affect our lives, when in reality there are many positives to having one. Most of those advantages are easy to name once you think about it: A GPS device, watch, phone and camera in a single handheld deviceApps to connect users to their banks, the weather report, friends, their to-do lists and their emailsAn ability to stay connected with work or family and friends from almost anywhere in the worldThe ability to “google” or search for nearly anything, from an old flame to a current score to the name of a book whose title we’ve forgottenEven if those reasons aren’t enough for you, here’s one more: ...

Chipset pricing is increasing, thanks to a price hike from manufacturers. This could exacerbate the shortage that is already occurring thanks to the Covid-19 pandemic. This price hike is likely to affect all electronics, including smartphones, computers and other electronics. TSMC, the Taiwanese company that manufactures the chipsets used by Apple, Nvidia and Qualcomm, has announced a plan to increase prices for their chips by as much as 20 percent in 2022. This is due to a number of factors:High demandIncreasing pressure for faster and more efficient chips that are also smallerThe logistics of getting the materials needed for all components to build the chipsets due to supply issues caused by the Covid-19 pandemicAn attempt to get so-called “double booking” under control, where TSMC’s clients order more chips than they need to secure production space and time during a supply crunch.TSMC’s ...

The Covid-19 vaccine is making it much easier for people to travel, both domestically and internationally. More importantly for many people, there are a number of group activities that are now available closer to home for people who can show their proof of vaccination, including attending sporting events, concerts and more. It’s not always convenient to take your vaccine card with you—even more importantly, carting it all over the place with you means you’re much more likely to lose it. Fortunately, there are a couple ways to add your Covid-19 card to your smartphone. This ensures you always have it with you, and it also means that you’ll have it backed up even if you lose your smartphone, as long as you’ve set up backup options first. Not to mention that saving your vaccination card to your phone means you’ll have one ...

In June, U.S. Congressman Joseph Morelle introduced “The Fair Repair Act” to Congress. This legislation is similar to bills introduced in more than 20 states, although as of yet none have been enacted. The basic goal of these bills is to make it easier for consumers to repair their possessions instead of having to buy new ones. In July, President Biden furthered this cause by signing an executive order meant to promote competition within the American economy. Although both these items focus on increasing competition and reducing corporations’ abilities to limit competition and protect their majority stakes in a number of industries, the electronics industry is one of the most important it will affect.Apple and other large tech companies have long required that users go to specifically “licensed” repair shops for repairs unless their users wanted to lose their warranties. However, ...

This month we’re featuring Scooch smartphone cases.

According to a new report by Strategy Analytics, Xiaomi has become the leading smartphone manufacturer in Europe for the second quarter of 2021. With just over a 25 percent market share, the Chinese company has beat out Samsung for the number one spot in the European market. Thanks to Covid-19 recovery, the European smartphone market has had a strong second quarter. For Xiaomi specifically, the jump to the number one selling position is based on high sales in Russia, Spain, Italy and Ukraine. Strategy Analytics’ Associate Director Boris Metodiev says these sales are due to customers being “eager for Mi and Redmi series of feature-rich, value smartphones.”Of the top five vendors, Samsung—currently in second place sales-wise in Europe—is the only one reporting lower sales than the previous quarter, although they maintained their current ranking due to their new 5G compatible Galaxy ...

Tablets have gained in popularity in recent years, especially for parents with young children. Tablets are the perfect size for small hands to grasp; they can be loaded with cartoons and age-appropriate games, and are a great way to make car rides less torturous for the adults. Tablets have also come in handy for people working from home—an important consideration during the Covid-19 pandemic. They’re easier to transport and set up than a laptop, and double as a reading device and video player. All in all, tablets have become an even-more important option for high-powered, transportable electronics in recent years. For retailers, this increase in tablet use creates an opportunity, not just in selling tablets themselves but also in stocking their accessories. Protective cases for tablets are just as important as smartphone cases in helping users protect their investments and avoid cracked ...
