The mobile and IoT industries are back in full swing after the holidays, and that’s very much reflected in the breadth of topics covered in this week’s roundup of Mobile ID World’s top stories.
Smartphones are, of course, a major topic. Samsung garnered considerable reader attention with the news of its latest security patch for some of its flagship smartphone models:

… and it’s no surprise to find another iPhone rumor accumulating plenty of clicks:

Sticking to the smartphone space for a moment, the week also brought news from Yoti, whose mobile identity app has been finding a number of applications in recent months. The latest concerns event ticketing and the fight against ticket scalping – or ‘touting’, as it’s called in the UK:

But it wasn’t all smartphone-related news this week. Vuzix also spent some time in the spotlight thanks to a new blog post in which the company argued that Gen Z consumers are likely to embrace smart glasses technology in a way that older consumers haven’t:

And a bit of smart car news from CES also gained some traction this week, with readers showing sustained interest in Cerence’s showcase of automotive technologies including gesture recognition and gaze detection:
