Why are BMW cars, suddenly, launching without Android Auto or CarPlay? This might strike a lot of people as strange; BMW cars in the past have supported these services. It seems weird that cars are now launching without them and promising to deliver them at a later date. Well, strangely enough, it’s due to this ongoing chip shortage. Yeah, you’re tired of hearing about this chip shortage, but it has the tech industry by the throat and it’s not done squeezing....

The OnePlus 10T 5G may launch before the end of July OnePlus will likely look to get the phone launched on a global scale at the same time as in India, or a couple of days before.
