Samsung Galaxy Note 10 cases suggest there won’t be a headphone port

A lot of details have been leaked about the Samsung Galaxy Note 10, but one thing we’re not at all sure of is whether there will be a 3.5mm headphone port, as some rumors say there will be one and others say there won’t. Today, we’ve got more evidence in support of the 'it won’t' camp, in the form of protective case renders.

Shared by Sudhanshu Ambhore on Twitter, the images show the top and bottom edges of a case seemingly designed for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10, and there’s no sign of a headphone port.

There is also just one speaker visible, though that doesn’t mean you won’t get stereo sound, as on the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 the earpiece acted as a second speaker, so we’d expect the same to be true here.

Other details that you can make out in the cases include the long-rumored triple-lens camera, a slot for the S Pen and a hole for what’s apparently an 'infrared blaster' – whatever that means.

We would take these images with a pinch of salt. The source doesn’t have as much of a track record as some leakers, and case renders aren’t always accurate. These do seem to largely match a previous leak, but that could just mean they’re based on said leak.

As for the headphone jack, the source of the confusion could be the fact that there are seemingly two Note 10 models in the works – the standard one and a Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Pro. So it might be that one lacks the jack and the other has it.

Indeed, most of the leaks that say there isn’t one, seem to be talking about the standard Note 10, while at least one image suggesting the presence of a headphone jack is of the Note 10 Pro. But then again, another source has specifically said that both models will have the port, so even the multiple-model theory doesn’t totally explain the disagreements.

This mystery should be solved soon though, as the Galaxy Note 10 range is expected to land in August. We’ll be sure to update you as soon as we hear anything new.

The future of Magic Leap's promising AR efforts dim after layoffs

The Magic Leap Two is now further away than ever, unfortunately. Today in a blog post the augmented reality pioneer announced major layoffs and has decided to cut up to half of its workforce, according to some reports. The original Magic Leap One was supposed to be one of the first mainstream augmented reality headsets when it launched in 2018, but a high price point and lack of interest from developers left the headset high and dry after launch. According to the blog post, Magic Leap says it will be focusing its efforts on enterprise solutions (a statement HTC has made recently as well) and shift its focus away from consumer technology… at least for the time being.  The company has been open about creating a second headset that would offer improved specs for some time, but how that work will now have to go forward without half of the team , according to some estimates, remains to be seen. Is the window closing on augmented reality?  Although it’s just one company, Magic...

Airship acquires SMS commerce company ReplyBuy

Airship is announcing that it has acquired mobile commerce startup ReplyBuy . The startup (which was a finalist at TechCrunch’s 1st and Future competition in 2016) works with customers like entertainment venues and professional and college sports teams to send messages and sell tickets to fans via SMS. It raised $4 million in funding from Sand Hill Angels, Kosinski Ventures, SEAG Ventures, Enspire Capital, MRTNZ Ventures and others, according to Crunchbase . Airship, meanwhile, has been expanding its platform beyond push notifications to cover customer communication across SMS, email, mobile wallets and more.

He also suggested that both the COVID-19 pandem...
