LG may have stopped manufacturing smartphones, but it's still not completely unrelated to the business. In fact, reports from last week suggested that the company is in talks with Apple to sell iPhones in its stores. However, Samsung wants to have its phones sold in LG stores too.

On 5 April, LG officially announced that it would pull itself out of the smartphone business after years of declining sales. The company has decided not to make Android smartphones anymore but will continue to provide support for existing devices. Today, the news has come claiming that the Korean tech company is in talks with Apple about selling iPhone in its stores.

Looks like Google recently confirmed that they will be shutting down the Google Play Movies & TV app on 15 June 2021 and instead be pushing existing customers to their YouTube apps in order to access their existing movie purchases. But that’s not all, 9to5Google also mentioned that the app will not be accessible on Roku, as well as other smart TV brands such as LG, Samsung, Vizio, and potentially more.

So it has finally happened, previous rumour news about LG shutting down its smartphone division is getting closer to reality. It was reported by a reputable South Korean media outlet due to the company's poor revenue and profit in the smartphone industry.

In the last few weeks, the rumour mill has been rife with chatter about a foldable iPhone. At this point, we're quite sure that it's going to be a thing, just not when exactly Apple will launch it (some say 2023). However, we do have more rumours that hint at the hardware specs.

Based on a statement by BusinessKorea, it seems that LG might be keen on selling their smartphone business to Vingroup Co, which is a company that’s located in Vietnam. For those who are not aware, the aforementioned group has a rather large portfolio in distribution, hospitality, vehicles, and more.

It is undeniable that the competition in the smartphone industry is getting fiercer day by day. With new technologies continuously being discovered, smartphone manufacturers are having a hard time catching up to stay on top. Now, it looks like a company might be dropping out of the game and it appears to be LG.

Many of you know about LG's flexible OLED panels, which have been used as fancy display pieces in the technology's early days. A rollable 8K TV was launched last year, but it looks like LG is ready to implement it on smaller screens like gaming monitors this year.

Based on a statement by rootmygalaxy.net, it seems that a patent has recently been spotted, hinting that LG might be working on a laptop that’s equipped with a rollable 17-inch display. While there is no news on the exact release date of the laptop, the patent gives us a better idea on what to expect when the laptop is officially available globally.

Based on a statement by thelec.net, it seems that there could be a high chance that LG could be unveiling a smartphone that’s equipped with a rolling mechanism somewhere around March 2021. While there is no news on the exact release date of the aforementioned smartphone, we do know that it will most likely be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G chipset.
