A leaked retail box of what will be a Chinese (domestic) variant of the popular Mi 4i has leaked, revealing the next upgrade of the phone will come with a USB type C port instead of the traditional micro usb port. Leaked AnTuTu benchmarks also reveal that the phone will come with a Snapdragon 808.
In an open letter to his customers, T-Mobile CEO John Legere has said that the company will now go after “thieves” who abuse unlimited 4G plans by using tethering features on phones. The “thieves” tend to download apps to hide tether usage, root phones and write code to mask their activity, all to use more 4G data than T-Mobile allows them to. Let’s hope this doesn’t mean bad news for T-mobile phones…
Prominent leaker @upleaks lived up to his name once again by showing off the 2nd Gen Moto 360 as well as the Moto 360 Sport (which is reportedly coming in November).

Bringing along good news to iPhone owners, Google has announced that Android Wear will now support iPhones.
The supported list of Apple devices is limited to the iPhone 5 and newer, all of which should be running iOS 8.2 or a higher version as well. The Wear App will soon go live on the App Store today, allowing iPhone users to simply pair the compatible watches with their phone to reroute notifications.
There is a slight catch though. Android Wear for iOS currently works with the LG Watch Urbane, while future Android Wear watches (including ones from Huawei, Asus and Motorola) will come with built-in support for iOS. There may be more obstacles to this, but the official blog remains mum on them. Also, keep in mind Android Wear will not have the same level of functionality it does with Android phones due to system restrictions.
Nonetheless, this is great news for all iPhone users as they now have a wider variety of watches to choose from. Sales of the supported Android Watches will also receive boosts as the untapped iOS market is now accessible to them. All in all, iOS support is indeed a beneficial move for all parties and watches involved… except the Apple Watch.
How do you think this will affect the smartwatch market? Sound off below!
