Was on here last week TechnikNews a lot going on - time, it's all here in the TechnikNews Weekly. Today's issue is about problems at Apple, leaks at Samsung and a review of the Fitbit Sense.
We've been hitting the keyboard hard again over the last seven days and serving you new news. Other highlights this week were certainly the launch of Google Pay and the digital driver's license in Austria, problems at Apple with macOS and the iPhone 12 mini and much more. I'm allowed to present you this edition again because I lost a bet with the editors. 😉

Touchscreen of the Apple iPhone 12 mini causes problems
The iPhone 12 mini is now being delivered to more and more customers after it was introduced a few weeks ago. Now there is a rather annoying problem: some protective films and cases no longer allow the touchscreen to work. More and more customers are reporting this problem in the Apple support forum, but so far Apple has not responded.
Samsung Galaxy S21 specs leaked
In a leak that made the rounds last week, the first technical details about the upcoming flagship leaked. Samsung's new smartphone is due to appear in January, and almost everything is known by now. According to the paper, not much should happen with the successors - there will probably not be a chance for a Snapdragon for Europe either. Read more about this in Fabian's article:
Fitbit Sense in TechnikNews-Test
My colleague David Haydl published his review of the Fitbit Sense on Tuesday. This is the latest top model from Fitbit, which comes with brand new functions. For the first time, the new model has an EKG function, a sensor for measuring skin temperature and other sensors. You can read in David's review whether the sensor pack is really good for what it promises.
