Foldable smartphones are not exactly a novelty anymore since the ZTE Axon M released last year made sure that the Chinese manufacturer was the first one to deliver a foldable smartphone to the market. The phone isn't without it's share of flaws, but it definitely is the first of its kind. After being rumored to appear first in Samsung's arsenal and even teased by DJ Koh, the foldable Galaxy X never really arrived from Samsung, but a new rumor has it that Apple might be trying to pull of something similar in the next two years.
The report comes from CNBC and it states that Apple is likely working on a iPhone which will have the capacity to become an iPad, as and when required! Apparently, Apple has teamed up with a secret Asian partner to make this happen by the year 2020. If this turns out to be true, do you think that it will replace the iPad? Let us know in the comments?

We are about to enter the last week of March, but the month is not over yet, so you should be glad to know that Samsung is now rolling out the March security update to the Galaxy S8+. As of now, reports indicate that the rollout is being carried out in Germany for the unlocked variants, but it wouldn't be surprising if the update is waiting for you, even if you don't live in Germany. Once these updates start to roll out in one region, they don't take too much time in appearing in all the other regions as well. The US and China has a slightly different time schedule though.
In case you are not aware what you are going to get with the patch, go through the following.
· 9 critical vulnerabilities will be addressed in the base Android OS
· Multiple less severe vulnerabilities in the base Android OS will also be addressed
· The patch will include 5 of Samsung's own fixes
· The firmware in question carries version number G955FXXU1CRC7
If you have a Galaxy S8, we are expecting the same update to hit the device any day now.

If you have a Galaxy Xcover 3, we have the latest Android security updates for you today on our list. Just go through our tutorial and get ready to enjoy everything that Google has brought in with the latest security update and of course, Samsung's own little fixes.
The daily firmware updates for today include devices such as the Galaxy Note 5, Galaxy S6 Edge and the Galaxy S7. Be sure to go through our tutorial first before trying to update your device.
Contrary to previous routines, Samsung had been quite benevolent with the Galaxy S8/S8+ unlocked version in the US because the unlocked versions got the update before all carrier variants this year. Normally, that would be the natural course of things in other regions, but that has not been the case in the United States lately. Finally, it's time for you to receive some Oreo goodness for your S8/S8+, if you happen to own any of the two handsets on AT&T.
Firmware version G950USQU2CRB9 for the Galaxy S8 and G955USQU2CRB9 for the Galaxy S8+ are being rolled out for the two devices on AT&T and it shouldn't be long before you are prompted to update your device, if you have not been prompted yet. Unfortunately, it doesn't come with the March security patch, but only the security update from last month.
