Huawei has unveiled the Pura X Max, a wide-format foldable phone that launches on April 20, showcasing a design expected from Apple's upcoming foldable.

• The Pura X Max features a 7.69-inch inner display and a 5.5-inch cover screen, closely mirroring leaked designs of Apple's rumored iPhone Ultra.
• This launch positions Huawei to release a wide foldable form factor months before Apple and potentially Samsung.
• While Huawei is shipping first with a new form factor, Apple's strength lies in its ecosystem, though its recent product launches have raised questions about innovation.

Safaricom's new My OneApp is frustrating users by forcing them to set their Safaricom SIM card in the SIM 1 slot for setup, a requirement that ignores the common use of dual-SIM phones in Kenya.

• The app requires the Safaricom SIM to be in SIM 1 and connected to Safaricom mobile data for automatic number detection.
• Safaricom support has confirmed this setup requirement.
• This is seen as a step backward in user experience, especially when alternatives like the Airtel app offer a simpler, manual verification process.

Safaricom is rapidly deploying updates to its My OneApp following a recent launch, aiming to address user-reported bugs on the Android platform.

• The app has received two updates, pushing it to version 5.1.2, within two weeks of its initial release on April 2nd.
• The Kenyan telco, Safaricom, has not provided specific details on what issues these updates resolve.
• While Android users are receiving patches, iOS users are still on the original version 5.1.0, awaiting a release likely delayed by Apple's app review process.
