**Google Fi Evolves into Google Phi with Expanded Android Phone Support**

Google's Project Fi has been evolving, and now it has rebranded as Google Phi. This change comes with significant updates to its cellular network support, allowing users to access a wider range of Android phones, including iPhones. While iOS support is still in beta, this development marks an exciting milestone for Google Fi, which aims to provide affordable, no-contract cell phone plans with great roaming capabilities.

Prior to this rebranding, Project Fi was primarily associated with specific Android devices, such as Pixels and other select phones from various manufacturers. However, the new name change suggests that Google Phi is poised to support a broader range of Android devices, potentially including those from popular manufacturers like Samsung and OnePlus. This expansion should provide more flexibility for users who want to switch between different phone models without disrupting their service.

The rebranded Google Phi also builds upon its existing strengths, including the ability to switch seamlessly between cellular networks or from Wi-Fi to data. While this feature is still in beta for iOS devices, it's an exciting development that could potentially bridge the gap between Android and iOS users. For those who have previously been limited by their phone's compatibility with Google Fi's network, this change should bring significant improvements.

**Huawei 5G Network Blocked in New Zealand**

New Zealand has become the latest country to block Huawei from building its 5G networking infrastructure. The decision was made by the government communications security bureau, which cited a "significant network security risk" as the reason for the ban. This move follows similar actions taken by Australia and the US, which have also restricted Huawei's participation in their 5G networks due to concerns about the company's connections to the Chinese government.

While this decision may be perceived as a blow to Huawei's ambitions in New Zealand, it's worth noting that the tech giant still offers a range of devices with impressive specifications. However, the growing trend of governments around the world taking a cautious approach to Huawei's involvement in their 5G networks highlights the ongoing debate about security and national interests.

**Fortnite Available for Free on PC, Mac, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android**

For those who love Fortnite, here's some great news: the game is free to play! Whether you're playing on a PC, Mac, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, or one of the various mobile devices, including iPhones and iPads, Fortnite can be downloaded at no cost.

Fortnite has become an unlikely cultural phenomenon, with its battle royale gameplay and colorful visuals captivating audiences worldwide. The game's free-to-play model makes it accessible to a wider audience, and its regular updates with new content, characters, and items ensure that there's always something fresh to look forward to.

**Apple Reduces iPhone 10S and 10R Production Amid Slowing Sales**

In an effort to address the disappointing iPhone sales figures, Apple has reduced production of the iPhone 10S and 10R. This move comes as part of a broader strategy aimed at revitalizing the company's phone business, which has seen significant pressure in recent months.

The reduced production is just one aspect of this plan, which includes increasing the trade-in value of old iPhones for those who purchase new devices. While these measures may help stimulate sales, it's still uncertain whether they will be enough to turn around Apple's fortunes.

**DriveSavers Claims to Offer iPhone Passcode Lock-Breaking Service**

For those who have locked themselves out of their iPhones using passcodes, a company called DriveSavers claims to offer a service that can unlock these devices with a 100% success rate. While this may seem like a convenient solution, there's an important caveat: the company explicitly states that they do not offer this service to law enforcement.

It's worth noting that Apple has already patched several exploits in recent months, making it increasingly difficult for companies like DriveSavers to successfully unlock iPhones using these techniques. As such, this service may become obsolete relatively quickly, and users should proceed with caution when considering this option.

** HTTPS Lock Icon No Longer Reliable**

In a shocking revelation, research by security watchdog Fish Lab has found that 49 out of all phishing sites now display the HTTPS lock icon, despite not being secure. This has significant implications for online safety, as many users rely on this icon to verify the authenticity of websites they visit.

While this development highlights the ongoing challenges in maintaining online security, it's also a reminder of the importance of vigilance when navigating the internet. Users should remain cautious and take steps to protect themselves from phishing attacks, even if the HTTPS lock icon may no longer be an reliable indicator of safety.

** New Samsung Phone to Feature Camera Cut-Out Hole**

Samsung has teased a new phone that will feature a camera cut-out hole in its screen design. While this is not entirely new, as some devices have already adopted this design, it's likely to become more widespread in the coming months.

The camera cut-out hole allows for improved photography capabilities, particularly when it comes to portraits and selfies. However, its adoption may also raise concerns about the aesthetics of future smartphones and the impact on user experience.

**Fortnite Evolves with Regular Updates and New Content**

With its colorful visuals, addictive gameplay, and ongoing support from Epic Games, Fortnite has cemented its place as a cultural touchstone for gamers worldwide.
