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 […]

Seeing a sequel come out for the original Life is Strange games this late on felt like a bit of a shock. I wasn't sure what to expect from diving into Max Caulfield's story again, especially since the previous games were so chaotic and messy. At least in this one, Chloe didn't feature as heavily, and it was more focused on Max as a grown-up and how she navigated the world after the loss of both her powers and Chloe. As a result, you get to see Max as a more mature character who didn't make as many reckless decisions […]
Samsung pivoted in a different direction this year by unveiling its first smart ring, the Galaxy Ring, which left quite the impact on users and the tech community for being a health-focused compact device that could be comfortably worn throughout the day. The company has been working on introducing more size options and making the wearable more accessible widely by working aggressively on extending the user base. While it has not been long since the first model came out, speculations regarding the Galaxy Ring 2 and its possible launch date have already started emerging, with the recent one claiming that […]
This year saw a lot of tightening up of rules and more stringent actions being taken for violations, including levying heavy fines. EU has been actively looking for companies that have anti-competitive practices and is ensuring they pay the penalty for noncompliance. After Google became the target of the regulations, it seems that Apple is now facing pressure from the regulatory authorities for failing to comply with the Digital Markets Act (DMA) when it comes to its App Store. Apple is under hot waters, as EU intends to levy fines on the tech giant for its anti-competitive App Store practices […]
Apple launched its latest M4-powered MacBook Pro models recently, and we have reported that the devices boast superior performance to the company's previous flagship chips, including the M2 Ultra. While the company has debuted three variants of the M3 chip, we are anxiously waiting for the M4 Ultra chip, which is slated to produce enormous gains in computational and graphical performance. A YouTuber has now shared his expectations for the M4 Ultra chip and how it would perform against the RTX 4090 in both OpenCL and Vulkan. The M4 Ultra chip is expected to surpass the performance of the RTX […]
The less expensive version of the $3,499 Apple Vision Pro might have had its production timeline severely delayed beyond 2027, but that does not mean there are various methods being explored to reduce its production costs, starting with the display. Possibly realizing that the screen’s price needs to be drastically reduced to offer the low-cost headset at a more affordable range, a new report claims that Apple is exploring two options to incorporate into the future head-mounted wearable. The version that the firm is leaning towards is the same one that it seemingly intends to use on a future premium headset. […]
AMD's high-performance CPU journey continues on the desktop platform with the arrival of the Zen 5 core architecture. The new architecture has several fundamental changes that allow huge performance uplifts in single-core and multi-core applications. These can be attributed to the 16 percent IPC improvement that the new architecture has on offer. Replacing the AMD Ryzen 7000 "Zen 4" CPUs, the Ryzen 9000 "Zen 5" CPUs do not change the core configurations but enhance them in certain ways. The architectural upgrades allow Zen 5 chips to run cooler, consume lower power, and support the latest features on existing and upcoming […]
The Mate 70 series is rumored to launch this month, with Huawei likely equipping the new lineup with a new chipset called the Kirin 9100. Although both the former Chinese giant and its current foundry partner, SMIC, successfully developed the 5nm process, the new silicon will not be mass produced on this technology. Thankfully, it will not rely on the older 7nm process as the Kirin 9000S either, as the latest specifications reveal the CPU cluster, GPU, and employed lithography. New leak reveals the Kirin 9100 will take advantage of the 6nm architecture but will feature the same Maleoon 910 […]
The lack of native AAA titles available on Android does not mean that mobile gaming is a distant dream on Google’s platform, not when emulation is here to save the day. Qualcomm has demonstrated on paper that its Snapdragon 8 Elite is one of the most powerful chipsets available and capable enough to deliver respectable framerates in modern-day titles. We have already seen the SoC blaze through Red Dead Redemption, which launched for the PC last month, but that is a 14-year-old title. What if we introduced something newer to the mix, like A Plague Tale: Innocence? Well, we are […]
Trump Media and Technology Group (NASDAQ: DJT), the parent entity of Truth Social platform, is exploding higher today in affinity with the so-called Trump trade - a conglomeration of bets on select stocks and cryptocurrencies that stand to benefit from a Trump presidency. As of the time of writing, Trump is on the verge of clinching at least 270 electoral college votes, setting the stage for his second term in the White House. Crucially, Kamala Harris has no viable path left to clinching the all-important majority in the electoral college. This outcome is now manifesting in outsized gains in not […]
AMD's next-generation Ryzen APUs & Threadripper CPUs are rumored to come equipped with the latest 3D V-Cache innovations. AMD is spreading the 3D V-Cache technology to more products apart from regular desktop CPUs, rumored for Ryzen APUs & Threadripper CPUs too AMD has successfully unlocked the key to high gaming/productivity performance with the 3D V-Cache technology. While high productivity performance wasn't the case with earlier X3D chips, with the Ryzen 9000X3D chips, this has changed forever. It's now rumored that AMD is planning to expand its X3D footprint to workstations and mobile platforms. Recently, there was a rumor about AMD […]
Super Micro Computer (SMCI), a retailer of high-performance servers and liquid-cooled AI racks, has chosen to release its latest quarterly earnings at a time when investors have been forced to view every financial update from the company with a hefty dose of skepticism that stems not only from Hindenburg Research's hard-hitting report back in August but also from the series of events in its aftermath, including SMCI's withholding of its annual report, the launch of a preliminary DOJ investigation into the company's purported accounting malpractices, the exodus of its second auditor in around 18 months, and an imminent de-listing from […]
While Samsung's foldable did not leave the profound impact on users that it hoped for in the year 2024, next year might prove to be different and help the company bring its game up again with the new additions it has planned for its lineup. The Z Flip 6, although not the higher end, did see a price increase this year and took users by surprise. Reports are now emerging about the possibility of the company bringing out an even more budget-friendly Galaxy Z Flip in 2025. Samsung plans to add three new additions to its lineup in 2025 and […]
