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 […]

The new cold war, cloaked in silicon, is ratcheting up, with uncontested supremacy in the emerging AI-led, productivity-unlocking paradigm up for grabs. With the US and its allies determined to thwart Beijing's access to cutting-edge chips, China is finding progressively more creative ways to circumvent those restrictions, all the while trying to ramp-up its indigenous capacity. In the first half of 2024, China significantly increased its investment in semiconductor manufacturing equipment, spending a record $25 billion according to the global chip industry association SEMI. This amount surpasses the combined expenditures of South Korea, Taiwan, and the… — GammaLab (@gammalab_tweets) September […]
China's domestic chips have evolved rapidly, and a new analysis shows that the country is only three years behind TSMC in achieving semiconductor equivalence. China's Semiconductor Markets Have Evolved Massively After US Sanctions, Likely To Achieve Global Competitiveness Soon It won't be wrong to admit that after the US sanctions, the growth experienced by Chinese semiconductor firms was at a new level, especially since the "Made in China" narrative took a new turn, involving every giant firm to ensure that they achieve self-production lines. A great example of this is Huawei. Even after the US made every attempt to hinder […]
Chinese engineers have found a rather interesting loophole in US export controls, allowing them to access NVIDIA's cutting-edge AI accelerators. China Continues To Find Loopholes In US Policies; Despite Sanctions, The Country Still Has Access To Cutting-Edge AI Chips Despite restrictions by the Biden administration to prevent the access of China to high-end AI equipment, it seems like the nation always finds a workaround, and this time, they have indeed come up with a surprising method of accessing the power of Team Green's chips, and rather than acquiring them, Chinese engineers and firms are more inclined towards "rental services," which […]
In what is now being dubbed an "unmatched" toolkit among OECD economies, China is rapidly flexing its muscles to prevent the outflow of indigenous capital, tech, and talent, leading to an inevitable bifurcation of the global economy. There is a popular perception that hardly any innovation takes place within the Chinese economy, that any headway is a result of borrowed or stolen Western tech. While this assertion might have been true for much of China's recent rise as a major economic player, there are increasing signs that it no longer holds true. For one, China edged out the US in […]
