  • Honor has grabbed the top spot in the Chinese smartphone market.
  • The brand wasn?t even in the top five a year ago.

Huawei was forced to sell Honor back in November 2020 due to US sanctions, making it an independent brand in the process. Now, over a year after Honor gained independence, the company has reportedly ascended to the top of the smartphone market in China.

A Q1 2022 market share report from Canalys showed that Honor was the number one brand in the country, shipping 15 million units and accounting for 20% of the market. This makes for year-on-year growth of 205%, with Honor only accounting for 5% of the market in Q1 2021. In fact, Honor wasn?t even in the top five back then, landing at a distant sixth place.

Rss Feed iOS will finally get proper Chrome and Firefox, but only for some of us

  • As part of the changes mandated by the EU?s Digital Markets Act, Apple has announced that iOS will allow alternative web browser engines in the EU.
  • Historically, WebKit is the sole browser engine allowed on iOS. All browser apps on iOS must use WebKit, even if they use other browser engines on other platforms.
  • iOS users in the EU will soon be able to enjoy Chrome, built on Chromium, and Mozilla Firefox, built on Gecko.

Apple announced that it is making several changes to its software ecosystem to comply with the Digital Markets Act in the EU. One of these changes is that iOS will now allow alternative browser engines, allowing users to use proper Chrome and Firefox on their iPhones. But as is with the rest of the changes it announced, this will apply only to iOS users in the European Union, while the rest of the world has to continue making do with Webkit and Safari.

This is a significant change to how browsers work on iOS. Apple has historically restricted all browsers to using its WebKit browser engine. WebKit powers Safari, but it also powers Chrome, Firefox, and every other browser app on iOS. Outside of iOS, like on Android and desktops, Chrome is powered by Chromium, while Mozilla Firefox runs on Gecko. Features you love on Android and desktop on these browsers are absent on their iOS versions, mainly because WebKit does not support those features.
