[ad_1] There are also concerns that New IP would require authentication and authorization of not just new internet addresses, but also the humans involved and the data packets being sent.

Huawei made its own Siri rival called Celia

[ad_1] Given there’s no Google Assistant on Huawei’s latest devices, including the P40 series, the company has revealed its very own voice assistant called Celia.

Nearly every top-selling smartphone in 2019 was an iPhone or Galaxy

[ad_1] Just where these phones dominated is another matter. It won’t surprise you to hear that Apple ruled North America, taking all of the top five slots, and took two of the top spots in Europe.
