At the Consumers Electronics Show on Monday, the South Korean tech giant took the wraps off the Signature Series OLED TV R, its first-ever OLED television with a screen that can roll itself up and is also voice-activated. After the prototype was teased in 2018, LG announced today that the rollable TV will finally hit the shelves this year, with a launch date expected sometime in the spring. LG didn't disclose pricing details about the rollable TV. The OLED TV R is designed to be in the room when you want it and disappear when you don't, with three different modes that let users decide the size of the screen. 'LG's rollable OLED TV is a true game-changer, freeing users from the limitations of the wall and allowing them to curate their own personal space,' the company explained. Users can choose from three modes - full view, line view and and zero view.

New renders claim to show what this year's iPhone could look like – and it's very strange. Apple almost certainly will not announce the new handset until September this year, but rumours are already starting to begin. And one of the first also seems to show what might be its strangest feature: a huge camera array on the back, which includes a full three lenses. Those are set in a large bump coming off the back, alongside a flash. The three are arranged in a strange line-up: the lenses are in a triangle, and the flash is laying off to the side.

Samsung and Apple have made the shock announcement that they are working together to get videos from your phone and onto your TV. The two long-standing arrivals will allow iPhones to speak with Samsung's smart TVs, ensuring customers can get all of the films and TV that Apple makes available even if they don't have an Apple TV. The iPhone maker's iTunes Movies and TV Shows app is to be introduced on Samsung smart TVs later in 2019, the first time the two companies have cooperated in such a manner in the TV market. Support for Apple's wireless AirPlay 2 connection is also to be introduced, meaning Apple iPhone and iPad users will be able to stream content to their Samsung smart TVs. The two companies have long been rivals in smartphone, tablet and other markets.

Trade tensions between the US and China and the ongoing government shutdown have led to some key attendees missing out on the world's biggest technology trade show. CES 2019, taking place this week in Las Vegas, has served as a showcase for China's burgeoning tech industry in recent years, with 2018's keynote delivered by one of Huawei's top executives. Richard Yu, CEO of the Chinese firm's consumer business group, originally planned to show off the Huawei Mate 10 Pro smartphone but took the opportunity to criticise US carrier AT&T's sudden decision to pull out of a deal to sell the phone. The decision had apparently come as a result of espionage concerns raised by the US government, which linked Huawei to Chinese government surveillance. "We win the trust of the Chinese carriers, we win the trust of the emerging markets... and also we win the trust of the gloabl carriers, all the European and Japanese carriers," Mr Yu said.

At the bottom of the board is a link to Apple's privacy website, which lays out the ways that "Apple products are designed to protect your privacy". "At Apple, we believe privacy is a fundamental human right," it reads.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming more mainstream in India as the country's focus on the digital domain is ushering in new waves of efficiency and productivity. Double-digit growth in a trillion-dollar economy with the power of a single emerging technology shows its remarkable impact on not just the ease of brand-customer interactions but also in charting a journey in a world running on automated systems. Customers want to know that they are being viewed as individuals and not just as customer data records. In 2019, vendors will focus more on increasingly humanising AI with emotional intelligence and empathy. This means better understanding of context and longitudinal conversations, picking up on clues on customer motivation and intent, tone of voice, how people feel in a particular moment, where they are in their lifecycle, how they act in certain situations, and even what is happening around them.
