The A17 Pro is a solid performer, as demonstrated by its gaming prowess when powering last year’s iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. Apple certainly caught us by surprise when it unveiled its updated iPad mini 7 with the same chipset but with one notable downgrade in which the SoC ships with a 5-core GPU instead of a 6-core one. Fortunately, this change has not deterred the tablet’s gaming capabilities, as demonstrated in two titles, with the compact slate maintaining just a fraction below 60FPS. The iPad mini 7 breezes past Honor of Kings and Genshin Impact, with […]

Apple announced the iPad mini 7 a week or so ago, and yesterday, reviews went live for the device. The iPad mini 7 upgrade is quite significant, considering the chipset and its ability to handle Apple Intelligence features.

Well, it appears that the company has fixed jelly-scrolling with the iPad mini 7 launch, sort of. Apple has fixed the jelly scrolling issue with the iPad mini 7, but there […]
The Snapdragon 8 Elite is currently the fastest smartphone chipset in Geekbench 6’s multi-core results, which is a major deal because it has been years since Apple has finally met its match. However, the same benchmarking application reveals that Qualcomm’s latest and greatest SoC continues to lag behind the A18 Pro when it comes to power efficiency and single core results. Snapdragon 8 Elite consumes slightly higher power than the A18 Pro but posts a lower score in Geekbench 6’s single-core results The tests performed by the YouTube channel Aifu Technology ran various tests to showcase the Snapdragon 8 Elite’s capabilities, […]
Google Pixel 9a is generating quite the buzz even before its official release, and while there is still time for it to be unveiled, the rumor mill seems to be churning in full swing. Previous speculations have pointed towards the budget model moving away from the classic visor camera design that has remained the signature feature for the Pixel lineup and will come with a pill-shaped camera module instead. Now, reports have emerged suggesting this is not the only change in this category, and the primary camera setup might follow the likes of Pixel 9 Pro Fold's main camera. A […]

Big telecommunication service providers such as AT&T and T-Mobile are advocating against the given proposal. T-Mobile and AT&T want US regulators to drop their plan of unlocking the phones within 60 days of activation The FCC is […]
Google announced the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro models a few months ago, and the devices have been receiving pretty good reviews in the tech community. The early arrival of the flagship series did pose a question of whether the search engine giant would offer an early Android 15 build as well. However, we all know that did not happen as the company saw fit to release Android 15 almost two months after the Pixel 9 launch. We are now expecting the Pixel 10 series, which is reported to come with significant upgrades, especially internally, with a new Tensor […]
The limelight of Apple products seems to be the iPhone series, and this time around, the iPhone 16 lineup received massive attention given the camera upgrades promised and the AI-infused features incorporated. Users are not only focused on getting their hands on the smartphone but also keen on upgrading to the company's accessories, which are usually announced alongside the hardware releases. Now, the Cupertino-based tech giant is working on updating the Magic Mouse, Keyboard, and Magic Trackpad, as revealed through a code discovered.

Apple was originally expected to announce the new iPad mini 7 alongside its upgraded Macs in early November, but it saw fit to introduce the new model almost 15 days early. This left us questioning when the new Macs might arrive with the M4 chip refresh, and it appears that the launch time frame might be sooner than expected. A tipster now claims that Apple will launch the redesigned Mac mini as soon as this week, and the device will feature five USB-C ports in its I/0.

Qualcomm’s official announcement of the Snapdragon 8 Elite was quickly followed up by a series of benchmarks carried out on a reference design smartphone that features the latest chipset. In short, it obtains remarkable scores in the latest Geekbench 6 results, and competing Android flagship chipsets, including the newly unveiled Dimensity 9400, pose no threat to the Snapdragon 8 Elite. New Geekbench 6 multi-core results show that the Snapdragon 8 Elite is now the undisputed king, with scores exceeding the 10,000 points threshold The latest single-core and multi-core data was compiled by content creator Wekihome, showcasing how far the Snapdragon 8 Elite […]
At $3,499 for just the base model that ships with 256GB of non-expandable storage, the Apple Vision Pro was always going to be a tough sell for the majority of buyers, and the statistics prove that. The mixed-reality headset had failed to cross 100,000 shipments in the U.S. when the estimates were revealed in July, and even now, it does not look like customers are willing to take this massive financial undertaking. The lackluster sales were talked about with Apple CEO Tim Cook, who admits that the head-mounted wearable is not a product for the masses. Customers who want to […]
The Snapdragon 8 Elite is Qualcomm’s first smartphone SoC to ship with fully custom Oryon cores, which only means a massive single-core and multi-core performance boost is guaranteed, combined with superior power efficiency and a huge uplift thanks to the Adreno 830. While all of these perks are excellent to have, one major significance of this chipset’s release is its ability to allow flagship smartphone owners to keep their devices for longer, thanks to increased software updates. That is correct, Qualcomm has said that the Snapdragon 8 Elite will enable 8 years of software updates, but there are still some […]
