The FCC has concluded carriers illegally sold your data, but they probably won’t do much to punish them. The EU overwhelmingly votes in favor of a universal phone charger. Law enforcement can easily crack most iPhones, but the GOP still wants to end encryption for consumers. Folks are going deaf at a shocking rate, but little is being done to help people protect their hearing.
The Moto RAZR is too fragile to be displayed at Wal-Mart. The Samsung Z Flip leaks ahead of its press event.
And we say goodbye to Blackberry phones. Again.
Let’s get our tech week started off right!
