On Tuesday, Apple is expected to report its fiscal second quarter earnings. In that report, the tech titan will reportedly announce that it is holding $250 billion in cash. If you think that this is a lot of money, you're absolutely right. According to Marketwatch.com, this is more than the foreign currency reserves held by the U.K. and Canada combined. Looking at it another way, at current valuations Apple could purchase all of the outstanding shares of Walmart and Procter & Gamble and still have money left over.
Want to make sure that your kids aren't watching porn on the Samsung handset you bought them? The manufacturer has a new parental control app confusingly called Samsung Marshmallow. That's akin to Google naming the next build of Android 'Galaxy' instead of the widely predicted Oreo.

T-Mobile has become the most innovative and influential of the U.S. carriers under the leadership of president and CEO John Legere, who has made it a point to fix what is wrong with the industry in the U.S. T-Mobile was first to end carrier subsidies on new handsets and the two-year contracts that went along with them hand-in-hand. It was T-Mobile that started offering zero-rated streaming features such as Music Freedom and Binge On to customers.

A series of four photographs have surfaced, allegedly coming from the rumored OnePlus 5 handset. Consider that the EXIF data shows that the photos were snapped using a device with the model number A5000, which would fall into line with previous OnePlus model numbers. For example, the OnePlus 3 is model number A3000. Additionally, the latitude and longitude in the EXIF data show that the photos were taken in Shenzen, China, which would make sense considering that OnePlus is based there.

Microsoft's latest quarterly filing with the SEC confirms what everyone has already known. Windows Phone is dead. The filing, in which Microsoft lists investments in products that it will be making in the future, included Windows Phone in the fiscal Q2 report. The new report filed for the fiscal third quarter has no mention of Windows Phone. And if you want to tell us that Microsoft is focused on Windows 10 Mobile, the latter wasn't included in the report filed with the SEC just three months back when Windows Phone was listed. So yeah, we've heard that punchline.
Part of Netflix's success on the mobile front is its ability to come up with original shows.

A hacker recently stole unreleased episodes of Netflix's original comedy hit "Orange is the New Black," which takes place in a woman's prison."

As we told you earlier this month, T-Mobile, Comcast and Dish Networks were the three big spenders during the FCC's auction of 600MHz spectrum. As T-Mobile's CEO John Legere pointed out, these airwaves are considered to be the equivalent of beachfront property since low-frequency spectrum can travel farther, and penetrate buildings better than higher band airwaves.
