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 […]

Apple’s ‘Project Titan’ was the company’s self-driving car ambition that had an estimated $10 billion invested in the venture, and after a decade of rash decisions, delays, and frequent changes in the leadership, the development of the autonomous vehicle was axed entirely. In addition to the ludicrous expenditure, the efforts of various teams, including the Apple Silicon, went up in smoke, as these individuals were nearly finished with a custom chipset that was equal to not one, but a whopping four M2 Ultra SoCs, which is Apple’s most powerful in-house silicon to date. The quadruple M2 Ultra custom silicon for the […]
Apple announced its latest M3 chips alongside the launch of the new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models. The company is planning to bring the new chip to its iPad Pro and MacBook Air lineup next month, which will be significantly more powerful than the current M2 chip. Apple's M3 chip is based on TSMC's 3nm architecture, which means that it features a higher transistor count than the M2 chip. This ultimately translates to better performance and improved efficiency. While the M3 chip is still young, the company has already begun designing its forthcoming chips based on TSMC's 2nm process. […]
Last year, Apple announced its highly anticipated M3 chips fabricated on TSMC's 3nm architecture. While the M3 Pro and M3 chips deliver enhanced performance over the M2 chips, the company has already started working on its next-gen Apple Silicon. A new report claims that Apple will likely be TSMC's primary candidate for 2nm chips. TSMC's 2nm chips will further improve the computational and graphical performance on the iPhone and Mac. TSMC's 2nm chips will offer further computational and efficiency gains for the iPhone and Mac According to DigiTimes, sources familiar with the matter claim that Apple will be TSMC's initial […]
Apple wants developers to forget about the utility of owning an Intel-based Mac if they ever want to make visionOS apps for the Vision Pro. The company has provided a disclaimer that they will need a machine featuring an M1, M2, M3, or their more powerful SoC variants to make apps for the mixed-reality platform. Shortly after announcing the Apple Vision Pro’s availability, Xcode 15.2 was released, making it easier for developers to submit their visionOS apps While Xcode 15.2 runs on Intel Macs, Apple’s visionOS SDK (Software Development Kit) requires a Mac running the aforementioned chipsets. Remember that the […]
Apple has gradually shifted to its custom silicon from Intel-based chips. The company is not limiting itself to developing processors but modems as well. However, it was recently reported that the company plans to forgo its attempts in the 5G modem business. A new report sheds light on Apple's deal with British chip architect Arm, stating that the Cupertino giant pays less than 30 cents per chip in royalties. Apple is possibly Arm's most prominent and promising customer, and how the two companies will move forward remains to be seen. Apple holds 5 percent of Arm's annual revenue as it […]
