Samsung tried to prove in court that the Galaxy S7 is not a mobile phone. To get back some of the taxes paid
Samsung has tried to prove that the Galaxy S7 is not a phone. A funny situation happened in Africa. The Korean giant tried in court to prove to the South Africa Revenue Service (SARS) that the Galaxy S7 cannot be called a mobile phone.
Samsung did this in order to get a refund of taxes levied on phones in this region. Samsung’s position was that the Galaxy S7 is primarily a universal device for Internet connectivity, social media, music and games, not traditional voice calls, and therefore does not qualify for the classification of conventional mobile phones. Samsung even brought in the testimony of IT specialist Jacques Van Wyk, who made the above statements.
Unfortunately for Samsung, the court sided with SARS, stating that although the Galaxy S7 does have many features that are not related to communication via cellular networks, the latter is also present in the device, like all other features characteristic of conventional mobile phones.
In addition, the judge added that the attempt to redefine the Galaxy S7 as a laptop or mobile PC was hypocritical.

IPhone 13 users continue to report new issues they face when using a smartphone that only went on sale the day before yesterday.
On the Chinese social network Weibo, this topic became a very hot topic over the weekend. Users confirm that some strange artifacts appear in the photos taken with the iPhone 13, as shown in the following video.
The video confirms that there are no problems in the preview window, however, after the photo is taken, black artifacts are randomly generated on it. It is not yet known whether the problem is software or hardware, and it is also somewhat widespread.
It is worth noting that Apple previously officially confirmed that after restoring the iPhone 13 from a backup, widgets can be reset to their default state. There are also problems with Apple Music and syncing with Apple Watch.

It wasn’t until the day before yesterday that the iPhone 13 went on sale, and all indications are that they are selling very well. In terms of pre-order volume, the iPhone 13 is well ahead of the iPhone 12.
As before, users lined up in front of stores, some sold their seats in queues, while others resold brand new smartphones at a premium. From day one, iPhone 13 users started reporting some issues.
Apple has already officially confirmed the bugs that are present in iPhone 13. If you restore a new iPhone or iPad from a backup, you will not be able to access the Apple Music catalog, Apple Music settings, or use the Sync Library on the new device. In addition, when you automatically turn on Macro mode on iPhone 13, it can no longer be turned off.
It also became known that the iPhone 13 in some cases cannot establish a connection with the Apple Watch. Apple Support recommends resetting your network settings, but it doesn’t help. Some people have been helped by resetting their Apple Watch and re-pairing.
Almost every time a new smartphone comes out, there are some problems, most of which are software in nature. Apple should fix existing bugs in the next software update.
As we previously reported, the iPhone 13 Pro Max is outperformed by the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra in new camera tests.
