Apple is supposed to have an augmented reality headset in development, though the company is being typically close-mouthed about any plans they have in that direction. But folks are on the lookout for signs of Apple’s AR headset, and there is talk that we’re going to see it in 2020.
For a tech conference hailed as the biggest event in the mobile world, the Mobile World Congress (MWC) has been somewhat unsuccessful at producing as many wow moments as we would have liked to see over the last few years. What used to be arguably the year’s most exciting showcase of new devices (outside of Apple launches) has turned into a parade of new ‘flagship’ devices that all offer essentially the same thing.
Lego unveiled its new Pop-Up Book set, dubbed Lego Fold which takes a stab at Samsung’s marketing for the Galaxy Fold smartphone.
And now, one for the technically-inclined. You might remember, if you cast your mind back, the custom Android installation known as CyanogenMod. It might not be around any longer but LineageOS is and it’s offering intrepid users Android 9 Pie on devices that are probably not going to be supported.
It’s pretty early in 2019 to be calling the tech trends, but we’re pretty sure of two things: there are going to be a range of folding phones on coffeeshop tables before the year is out, and there are going to be a more electric vehicles (EVs) in parking lots. Sure, we’ve had the Nissan Leaf and BMW’s quirky i3 for years, but sightings of them are pretty rare, and they’re not SUVs. Next week Jaguar launches its I-Pace electric SUV, and this week, Mercedes-Benz confirmed we’ll be able to buy its all-electric EQC before year-end. You can make your own Eskom jokes, because we’re better than that.

As the cellular industry gathered in Barcelona this week, Huawei announced their own foldable, the Mate X, the day before the main conference began on Monday.
It’s the smartphone lover’s favourite time of the year. Barcelona, Spain plays host to Mobile World Congress, where much of the world (except Apple) shows off what’s new (in the near-future distant future) in mobile tech. This morning was Sony’s crack at showing off what’s coming and we were there to get all the details.
Foldable smartphones are here and they’re the most exciting thing to happen in the mobile sector in years… but you still shouldn’t buy one.
