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 […]

For two years, Huawei had been funding U.S. research and awarded scientists millions in prize money. All of the funneling was handled by Optica Foundation, with its CEO Elizabeth Rogan, who previously stated that there was nothing unusual about this practice. U.S. lawmakers later criticized the organization, believing Optica Foundation had compromised the ability of U.S. research institutions to comply with the law. A ton of events likely happened under our rose because the partnership between the two companies has now ended. Optica Foundation wrote to the board of directors that Huawei will have no connection to its funding program […]
TSMC, the world's leading semiconductor firm, believes that Huawei "China" & other "emerging" competitors are no trouble for the company. TSMC Says That Their "Dominance" Is Unchallenged, And Competitors, Including China, Have No Chance Well, there is no doubt that TSMC has been in the lead regarding process technology and the development of cutting-edge semiconductors. Mainstream competitors such as Intel Foundry and Samsung have tried to close the gap, but despite tremendous efforts, the Taiwan giant has managed to maintain its dominance, courtesy of its vast experience along with excellent relationships with established clients like Apple and NVIDIA. Similarly, in […]
The trade sanctions placed on Huawei means that it has to rely on its local foundry partner SMIC, to push forth with advanced manufacturing processes for future Kirin releases, and fortunately, China’s largest semiconductor firm has successfully developed the 5nm process. This node is expected to be used in the Kirin 9100 that will be found in the Mate 70 series. However, while jumping to an improved manufacturing process is one of Huawei’s goals, a company executive states that they also want to address several 7nm issues. The primary aim for Huawei, according to the executive, is to focus on the […]
A former employee of SK hynix is reportedly being tried in a domestic court for stealing semiconductor technology data printed on 3,000 pages before moving to Huawei. The first trial is expected to be held at the Yeoju branch of the Suwon District Court. SK hynix has access to advanced DRAM and flash memory technologies, and is currently working on HBM3e memory for NVIDIA AI GPUs, GDDR7 VRAM for upcoming consumer GPUs, and has partnered with TSMC to push forth HBM4 technology. All of this data would be essential for Huawei as it would give it an edge in various categories. Huawei […]
The mobile computing space saw Huawei witness an impressive 70 percent growth in the first quarter of this year, and now the company has seen a similar outcome in the foldable smartphone category, only this time, the figure is much larger. According to the latest data, the Chinese firm had a 257 percent year-over-year growth for Q1 2024, becoming the biggest vendor for this period. However, Huawei was not the only company that experienced a shipments surge in Q1 2024, so let us get into the details. Motorola and Honor came out on top with up to a whopping 1,260 […]
The Kirin 9000S launch last year, followed by the Kirin 9010 that powers Huawei’s newest Pura 70 series, has helped the company reach a new high as far as smartphone chipset shipments and revenue go. The latest data reveals that the former Chinese giant’s HiSilicon division, which is responsible for mass producing Kirin SoCs, shipped 8 million units in the first quarter of 2024 and generated $6 billion in revenue. However, compared to the competition, Huawei has a long road ahead of it as it slowly takes back its lost market share. MediaTek holds first place for the highest smartphone chipset […]
Apple recently introduced a trade-in promotion in the U.S., where potential buyers can receive a higher credit on their older iPhones if they upgrade to a newer model. However, that is not the only region where the company has an ongoing offer because various online stores in China are slashing prices on select iPhone 15 models. For those wondering, it is likely Huawei and its recently launched Pura 70 series that has forced Apple’s hand. Discounts of up to $318 have been applied to the top-end iPhone 15 Pro Max, as Apple is feeling the heat of Huawei’s resurgence The […]
The Kirin 9010 succeeded the Kirin 9000S when Huawei officially unveiled the Pura 70 series earlier this year, but the company was also working on another version of its latest chipset without keeping anyone in the loop. Called the Kirin 9010L, the existence of this silicon was found thanks to a thorough investigation of the newly announced Nova 12 Ultra Star Edition, which differs from the regular version. Here, we look at what sets apart the Kirin 9010 and the Kirin 9010L. Kirin 9010L is the slower version of the Kirin 9010, with fewer cores running at lower clock speeds A […]
The Kirin 9000S and other variations of this chipset allowed Huawei to regain lost ground in China, making its competitors highly nervous over its phenomenal comeback. Unfortunately, the company is required to keep up with its rivals by introducing more advanced silicon with every generation, which is why one rumor claims that the company would lower the supply of all Kirin 9000 chipsets as it invests its time and resources on the 5nm process and its ‘Kirin PC Chip.’ However, one strategy based on a new claim is that the highly affordable devices starting from $300 would be treated to the […]
Optica Foundation is a charitable organization based in Washington that was found to have been accepting funds from Huawei to promote global research and academics. The Chinese firm has been awarding millions in prize money to scientists since 2022, and when the U.S. government caught wind of this partnership, their reaction was what you would expect it to be. Two lawmakers have come in guns blazing, criticizing Optica for its involvement with a company that is included in the U.S. trade ban, and now claim that research institutions’ ability to comply with the law has been compromised. Optica has repeatedly […]
The Kirin 9000S enabled Huawei to regain its lost market in China, staging a comeback that is making rivals like Apple nervous and probably frustrating the Biden administration as their continued efforts to stifle the competition overseas have been fruitless. However, as Huawei shifts towards mass production of advanced chipsets for smartphones and PCs, it will have to take away production resources from all Kirin 9000 variants, as mentioned by one tipster. Huawei is also focusing on its in-house HarmonyOS Next platform, which should be optimized for its next-generation Kirin chipsets It is not just smartphones and tablets that Huawei […]
The U.S. trade ban on Huawei has materialized a completely different outcome than what the opposing authorities envisioned because the Chinese firm has not only mounted a strong comeback on its home turf with successive releases of flagship smartphones that have grown in popularity, but the company plans to one-up its efforts on the software side too. A new report states that Huawei fully intends to rid itself of Google’s Android operating system by switching over to HarmonyOS Next entirely. The new platform will reportedly house 4,000 apps at first. HarmonyOS Next’s total applications count will rise to 5,000 within […]
