Welcome To The Smartphone Squeeze: HTC Launches The U11
The history of HTC flagships has been a tale of ups and downs. In all the reviews of smartphones we’ve ever done at AnandTech, only two have ever held an AnandTech Gold Award: the iPhone 6S and the HTC M7.

Samsung email with icloud.com can't delete messages.
I'm scratching my head over this one. My fiancé changed over from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy S7 about 6 months ago but kept her icloud.com email address. Lately the Samsung email app and the gmail app can't delete messages off her icloud.com. If she uses the icloud.com off her PC it works. I checked the SSL setup of the Android port settings, etc. and it's the same as Apple recommends.

I didn't realize this until recently, but since most vehicles have the OBD-II port, this ZTE Mobely simply plugs into that for 12 volt power.
