The Samsung Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57 will be made official in less than 24 hours, but some stores can’t wait that long. Yesterday, we saw the two models listed in South Africa and today they have surfaced at a store in Kenya. The Galaxy A37 shows three memory configurations: 6/128GB, 8/128GB and 8/256GB. The store only lists a pricing range instead of individual prices, KES 39,000 to KES 57,000. This converts to $300 to $440, but each region shows different prices since there are different local taxes. Anyway, this range presumably covers the lowest and highest spec, which leaves…

In a report, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, citing sources, says ads in Apple Maps will operate using a system similar to the one used on Google Maps. Apple is reportedly planning to let brands and retailers bid on ad placements and search keywords, with ads appearing within search results. For instance, a search for “best matcha” could surface sponsored listings from Starbucks or other nearby coffee chains that have bid on the term.…
