Samsung is updating the photo app on more than 20 high-end Galaxy devices, including the S23, Z Fold and Z Flip. Apple announces the arrival of the RCS standard in smartphones in 2024, but is not abandoning the blue bubbles. PlayStation Portal already out of stock due to scalpers. This is the recap.
Another missed appointment for Starship, the SpaceX rocket. While we were waiting to see it take off yesterday afternoon for its second test flight, the American firm made the decision to postpone shooting for a day. From November 17 to 18. The cause is a new defective part to be changed. You will therefore normally be able to see Starship take off during the weekend… if all goes well. In the meantime, here are the three news items that marked the day of November 17, 2023.
Samsung updates the Photos app on around twenty Galaxy devices
Photography is one of the most important uses in mobile telephony. And Samsung is continuously working to improve this experience. A work that is as much hardware as software, particularly in terms of the functionalities offered by the native One UI Camera application. An update was deployed this week to bring two improvements. More than twenty Galaxys are affected. And all of them are part of the Z, S or Note ranges. Find the list of phones and all the new features in our article.

The RCS messaging standard will arrive in iPhones in 2024
The discussions between Apple and the European Commission have certainly been heated. But the second got the better of the first: the American firm finally accepts to integrate the RCS standard (for Rich Communication Services) in its ecosystem. Apple indicates that iPhones will be able to send and receive RCS messages (and benefit from all associated services) from 2024. This feature will definitely be updated. Will it come with iOS 17 or iOS 18? On the other hand, the firm refuses to abandon the blue bubbles (iMessage) which will remain exclusive to its devices.

Like the PS5, the PlayStation Portal is a victim of scalpers
The PlayStation Portal is an accessory dedicated to Remote Play. It is not a console, but an accessory that allows you to enjoy the PlayStation 5 without having to monopolize the family television. This can be very practical. It was released this week at the price of 220 euros. But it is impossible to find it in stores. Like the PS5 or Nvidia graphics cards in 2020, the PlayStation Portal is the victim of scalpers who have seized all the stocks to resell them at a high price on classified ad sites…
