It is a feature that, however, had been missing from the first and second generation of Apple’s highly popular true wireless earphones, the AirPods.

So, let’s see what the Z10 tries to do in order to impress us. For the TLDR (too long, didn’t read) believers, you can find the video reviews at the end....

It’s the OnePlus 6. I have been carrying the OnePlus 6 on and off since its launch. During this spell, I’ve also switched to a handful of other more expensive phones including the Huawei P20 Pro, Oppo Find X, Google Pixel 2 XL, and more.

The removed VPN apps, although continue to work without any issues outside of China. Hence, it’s safe to say Apple was forced to make the move due to the country’s strict system. This was, however, a long time coming as China officially declared such services unlawful back in January. If they wish to continue operations, VPN hosts are required to receive government approval.

The reason? To make the iPhones more environment friendly and to reduce the company’s overall carbon footprint....
