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 […]

It is difficult to know what specifications Apple has planned for the A19 Pro next year when it will supposedly power the innards of the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max. However, rare moments like the one you are about to read on may have determined the chipset’s CPU clock speed based on a trend discovered with Apple’s M-series, starting with the M1 Max. YouTuber believes Apple employs the same clock speed from the previous top-end M-series chipset and adopts it in the iPhone SoC, determining the A19 Pro’s frequencies The current-generation A18 and A18 Pro have their […]
The iOS 18 update is right around the corner, and the company has also officially announced the final release update of the build for the general public. The update will bring a bevy of visual changes to the mix, but it will reserve Apple Intelligence features for another day. We have [previously heard that Apple Intelligence will arrive in October with the release of iOS 18.1, and now, the company has released a new beta of the update for developers. Apple has released beta 3 of its upcoming iOS 18.1 update to developers, now supporting the new iPhone 16 Pro […]
The final release of iOS 18 is approaching fast as the company's biggest update for the iPhone is expected to be released on September 16 alongside watchOS 11 and macOS 11. The company has now instructed developers to submit their updated apps on the App Store with support for iOS 18 and the decision includes apps for the Apple Watch as well as Macs. Apple asks developers to submit their apps with iOS 18 support ahead of its release on September 16 Apple recently held the "It's Glowtime" event this week, and soon after it was over, the company saw […]
The new iPhone 16 Pro is a pretty impressive device when it comes to the new front-facing functionalities and the hardware changes. Apple saw fit to introduce a new Camera Control button, which, as the name suggests, controls most of the camera features on the iPhone 16. We can say that the new Camera Control button is the highlight of the upgrade, but we also should not take the new A18 Pro chip lightly, given how it performs against the competition and Apple's custom M1 chip for the Mac. The A18 Pro chip in iPhone 16 Pro scores higher than […]
One hardware consistency with the iPhone 16 series is that all of them feature a chipset that takes advantage of TSMC’s second-generation 3nm process. In short, Apple is giving the less expensive models the flagship treatment in this regard, but to introduce some contrast between the ‘Pro’ and ‘non-Pro’ variants, the company resorted to chip binning, which is a common practice in this industry. The technology giant has followed this approach before, and possibly repeated it this year, as you will soon read about. The only difference between the A18 and A18 Pro is a single GPU core; everything else […]
The A18 Pro exclusively powers the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, with Apple making bold statements about its top-end 3nm chipset for mobile devices. One of them was hardware-accelerated ray tracing, which is a feature that was supported by last year’s A17 Pro. While we should get a decent gaming performance bump with the latest SoC compared to the previous generation, the technology giant says that that difference could be twice as much in hardware-accelerated ray tracing. With the A18 Pro, Apple says that with Game Mode enabled, users can expect better sustained framerates for prolonged gaming […]
Both iPhone 16 models come with the new A18 Pro chip, and according to Apple, it is 15 percent more powerful than the A17 Pro chip that came before it. The company has achieved a great feat this time around by offering the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max with the same specifications and features. Previously, the smaller 'Pro' model of the iPhone always got left behind in a few features due to its size and from factor. This time, though, the company has kept them at the same level, but there are two major aspects that still […]
The iPhone 16 and 16 Pro are the company's flagship devices that feature desktop-class performance thanks to the new A18 and A18 Pro chips. The new SoC is a significant step up from the previous A17 Pro chip, delivering better computational and graphical performance alongside a much more capable Neural Engine for advanced machine learning. This brings us to ask actually how fast Apple's new A18 Pro chip is compared to last year's A17 Pro chip in terms of performance and efficiency. Apple says that its A18 Pro chip is 15 percent faster than last year's A17 Pro while being […]
Supporting the latest wireless standards was always taken at a snail’s pace by Apple, but with the iPhone 16 launch, the company has decided to take things up a notch and adopted Wi-Fi 7. In fact, every single model that was announced during the ‘It’s Glowtime’ event supports the new technology, bringing in a wave of improvements and advantages to the table. Wi-Fi 7 is not just speedier than previous-generation standards, but it operates on a different channel, resulting in reduced interference The international Wi-Fi Alliance consortium unveiled the Wi-Fi 7 standard earlier this year, and it did not take […]
Today, Apple has seen fit to seed the first release candidate build of its forthcoming iOS 18, iPadOS 18, watchOS 11, macOS 15 and other updates. The latest updates arrive soon after the company announced the new iPhone 16 lineup alongside the new Apple Watch Series 10, which, to be fair, are pretty major upgrades compared to their predecessor. Apple seeds release candidate build of iOS 18, macOS 15, watchOS 11, and additional updates to developers Apple has also announced that it will be releasing the final version of iOS 18 for the general public on September 16, making it […]
The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus were just announced, with one of the biggest highlights of both handsets being that they come powered by Apple’s newest A18 chipset. It is mass produced using TSMC’s second-generation 3nm process, meaning that it is slightly better than the A17 Pro that was found in last year’s iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. However, when doing a direct CPU and GPU comparison, Apple chose to include a much older A16 Bionic. While we will discuss why the company possibly made this decision, let us take a look at how accomplished the […]
