Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

After last week's decisive presidential election in the US, and the critical role played by Elon Musk in bringing about a favorable outcome for Trump, Wall Street analysts continue to mull the short- and medium-term implications for Tesla shares in a Trump-led administration. For instance, last week, BofA analysts admitted in a dedicated investment note that Tesla might see potential upside going forward vis-à-vis "the federal regulation of autonomous vehicles and FSD, which aligns with Elon Musk’s push for a national standard for self-driving," adding: "The Trump administration’s approach could create a more favorable regulatory landscape, potentially accelerating Tesla’s Robotaxi […]
If you are a budget-oriented gamer who is just starting out their journey or a seasoned individual looking for the best accessory, having a mouse is just as essential when setting up your entire configuration, and which better company comes to mind for these add-ons than Logitech? With a total of six wireless gaming mice on offer at Amazon at up to 54 percent off, we have options that cater to the price-conscious consumer, to a gaming mouse that was designed for those wanting a competitive edge over everyone else. Starting with the G305 LIGHTSPEED, if a basic wireless gaming […]
Apple was rumored to introduce solid-state buttons with the iPhone 15 lineup, but the change never made it to the real world. However, this does not mean that the company never had intentions of introducing static buttons to the iPhone lineup. A prototype iPhone with unknown branding on the back appeared to have surfaced online, and it aimed to highlight the solid-state volume and power buttons with haptic feedback. iPhone prototype shows elongated volume buttons with haptic feedback The discovery was made by AppleDemoYT, which shared the video of the unbranded iPhone prototype. The device was sourced from a facility […]
Combining classic and modern game design sensitivity and featuring a world created in collaboration with Chris Avellone, Alaloth: Champions of the Four Kingdoms looked, right from its reveal, as a game that could bring a welcome breath of fresh air for top-down role-playing games. The most intriguing feature of the role-playing game by Gamera Interactive is definitely its combat system inspired by FromSoftware's Souls series, but labeling the game as a simple isometric Soul would be a disservice, as it has a lot to offer besides its involving combat system which comes together really well, despite some issues here and […]
Being a recent game, there won't be any need for an Elden Ring remaster anytime soon, but this isn't stopping fans from attempting to develop so using the latest technology and game engines. Earlier this month, Konarlin shared a video showcasing an impressive Unreal Engine 5-powered fan-made recreation of the popular action role-playing game developed by FromSoftware, going over the process from concept to actual creation, which looks better than the original game thanks to higher quality textures and more. The end results are extremely impressive, even more so considering this is a fan-made solo project developed in a relatively […]
A Monster Hunter Wilds open beta comparison video was shared online, highlighting how much the PlayStation 5 Pro can brute force better performance in unpatched titles. The comparison, which was put together by ElAnalistaDeBits, also confirmed the target resolution and performance on each system. On Xbox Series S, the beta featured a single display mode targeting 1080p resolution, which ran at an average of 40 frames per second; on Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5, the beta targeted 1080p resolution and ran at an average of 50 FPS in Performance Mode, 2160p resolution running at an average 50 FPS in […]

Intel performs poorly with its Core Ultra 200S CPUs, while AMD, thanks to the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, makes big gains in the DIY Korean Market. Intel Core Ultra 200S sees poorer sales in South Korea than the previous generation, reducing Intel's CPUs share to just 38% while AMD gains big time Intel's Core Ultra 200S launch didn't meet Intel's expectations as far as gaming performance is concerned. Even though the company has promised to bring some optimizations to fix the performance at the end of this month, it looks like the majority of the users worldwide are opting for AMD. […]
Unlike other big fantasy roleplaying games such as Baldur's Gate 3 and the recent Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Avowed won't feature any romance options when it lands in around three months. Speaking to Gamesradar during the recent EGX convention, Avowed Game Director Carrie Patel explained: It works very well in some games. It's a ton of work. You want to make sure you do it right. And part of that is also you want to make sure that a player who opts not to romance but still wants to have a very deep relationship with those companions gets to have […]
The large, bulky, and expensive mixed-reality headsets will eventually be replaced by a pair of smart glasses, and Apple intends to deliver the same experience while making the device comfortable to wear and less distracting to the surrounding people. To begin its quest to develop its pair of smart spectacles, the technology giant typically holds on-campus focus groups to understand consumers’ feelings about the current market. This approach was carried out with the AirPods, HomePod, and Apple Vision Pro, with the company now performing it again for its future smart glasses. While the newest report hints that the initiation phase […]
The 3nm GAA process might have beaten TSMC’s 3nm ‘N3B’ variant in the launch timeline, but it will matter little if Samsung cannot increase those yields where it makes sense for clients to place orders with the Korean giant. A rumor claims that the foundry had a respectable yield target for both its first and second-generation 3nm GAA node, which was 70 percent, but it has yet to reach that threshold, which would explain why Samsung has failed to attract new customers to this technology. In fact, one rumor claims that second-generation 3nm GAA yields are abysmal, where they have not […]
The lack of an affordable price and expanded app repository meant that the Apple Vision Pro would never be the ‘home run’ product, with the latest evidence being that the headset’s production is set to end this year. The company has reportedly hit a snag with its low-cost model, and where it was mentioned that the device would launch sometime in 2025, the production timeline has been delayed beyond 2027. Regardless, an update states that Apple can still turn its headset business into a $25 billion one provided a multitude of products can fill this category, including a pair of […]
