If you’re an HTC fan, the upcoming One M9 may not be the only gadget you’ll want to splash the cash on in the coming months. According to sources familiar with the Taiwanese company’s plans, its first fitness-focused wearable will be unveiled alongside the One M9 at an event scheduled for March 1.

Samsung’s fingerprint scanners could be some of the worst available in today’s mobile devices; they’re so unreliable that most people don’t even bother with them. But sources familiar with the company’s plans say it is working to change that for the upcoming Galaxy S6.

How? By copying Apple, of course.

While CyanogenMod’s future on the OnePlus One may look bleak, Cyanogen Inc. isn’t going to give up on it yet. In fact, if you’re a One owner, you can expect to see the handset’s first Lollipop-based CM update next month.

The wait for HTC’s next-generation One M9 is almost over. The company has today begun issuing invitations for a March 1 event in Barcelona, where we will get our first glimpse at “what’s next” from the Taiwanese smartphone maker.

It’s not exactly news that Samsung would like be a whole lot more like Apple. And when you compare the sales figures from Samsung’s ailing mobile division to Apple’s thriving iPhone numbers, who can blame it?

But while the South Korea-based tech giant isn’t going to be able to steal away any of the design brains behind Apple’s must-have devices any time soon, it’s trying to do the next best thing: hiring a former boss from the company Jony Ive helped start before he set sale for Apple in the 1990s.
