Fitbit will supply ‘free’ trackers to Singapore’s public health program
Fitbit is working with Singapore’s government to supply residents with free fitness trackers.

A number of alternative social networks have also joined the project, with Tim Berners-Lee’s Solid project enabling the import and export of contacts,
Jony Ive ‘dispirited’ by Tim Cook’s lack of interest in product design: WSJ
To many, Jony Ive’s announced departure from Apple last week felt very sudden. But a narrative is forming to suggest that he’s been slowly exiting for years as the company shifted priorities from product design to operations.

Philips Hue bulbs now come with Bluetooth, so you don’t need a hub
Philips Hue smart bulbs are getting what may be their biggest upgrade ever: many bulbs will now ship with Bluetooth built in, allowing them to be set up and used even if you don’t own the $60 hub that, until now, has been necessary to control them. Adding Bluetooth to the bulbs comes with some big benefits and really only some minor drawbacks. The major benefit is that anyone who owns a smartphone
Google is finally taking charge of the RCS rollout
We’ve been hearing about RCS, the replacement for SMS texting, for over a year now, but actually using the next-generation service has been nearly impossible due to complicated carrier and phone maker politics. But now Google is taking over: later this month, Android users in the UK and France will be able to opt in to RCS Chat services provided directly by Google instead of waiting for their carr
Samsung patent shows rollable phone displays
Samsung is still figuring out how to release its futuristic Galaxy Fold, which is plagued with durability issues and without a release date.

This patent discovered by Let’s Go Digital (via Gizmodo) shows off a phone that appears fairly traditional at a first glance. But
iOS 13’s expanded NFC will support Japanese identity cards
One of the less heralded features in iOS 13 is its broader support for NFC functionality, which first came to the iPhone alongside Apple Pay in 2014 but hasn’t seen the same diversity of use cases as are commonplace on Android. iPhones running iOS 13 will be able to scan a wider variety of NFC tags, including those commonly found in official documentation, and one of the first examples will be Jap

HTC’s Vive Pro Eye VR headset with eye-tracking arrives for $1,599
Virtual reality and eye-tracking seem like an incredible match — for reasons I’ll illustrate below — and now HTC’s first dedicated stab at an eye-tracking headset has arrived in the US and Canada for $1,599. That’s the word from HTC’s official blog post, following an earlier release for the headset in China and Europe last month. Why eye-tracking? As my colleague Nick explained when he tried the V
Microsoft is making Xbox body wash
The product line, because it will be exclusive to Australia when it launches in July, is branded under Axe parent company Unilever’s Lynx line, which is just the name for Axe in markets outside the US. According to GameSpot, Microsoft expects gamers to “power up” with Xbox Lynx products before leaving the house, presumably where they will do the absolute minimum required of them before returning h
TikTok is no longer banned in India
Indian lawmakers said TikTok was encouraging the spread of explicit content and “cultural degradation” among youth, and then they successfully banned the short video app — but only for a week or so, because the TikTok ban has now been lifted.
