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 ARM Immortalis-G925 GPU in the Dimensity 9400 delivers a major performance uplift, with even MediaTek providing a comparison, showing that its latest chipset is up to 19 percent faster than the A18 Pro. So, how well does this translate into a gaming test and, more specifically, Genshin Impact? Well, it turns out that both SoCs perform incredibly well, with the Dimensity 9400 showcasing better temperatures when running in the Vivo X200 Pro, likely thanks to the inclusion of a vapor chamber. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 has a 43 percent higher peak power consumption than Dimensity 9400; improved efficiency is […]
The Dimensity 9400 will not deter Qualcomm from ensuring that the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 becomes a success, as one analyst predicts that the chipset will not just be the company’s most expensive release to date, but it will also generate the most profit. Shipments of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 are estimated to be 50 percent higher compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, meaning that the San Diego firm is expected to enjoy a revenue boost, leading to a healthy profit generation. Analyst believes the high price of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, increased demand from Samsung, and […]

The Pixel Watch 3 was announced on August 13th and marked several improvements from its predecessor. One standout aspect was the two sizes it came in and also the peak brightness that allows for better outdoor visibility. Google often showcases the Pixel products' design and features in visually appealing videos, and the latest video seems to be about the design of the Pixel Watch 3. The video features an unreleased layout featuring a Concentrated watch face for the wearable. The layout in the video seems to focus on minimal and clean aesthetics. A new Pixel Watch 3 design video reveals […]
Apple has released its seventh iteration of the iOS 18.1 beta update to developers for testing purposes ahead of its final release later this month. The company is taking its sweet time with the final release as it is possibly one of the biggest updates for the company, considering it brings Apple Intelligence features to the mix. The latest iPhone 16 lineup is no different than its prior models when it comes to software utilities but iOS 18.1 will change that. Apple releases iOS 18.1 and iPadOS 18.1 beta 7 to developers for testing Apple Intelligence features If you are […]
Apple's current iPhone SE 3 features a design that was first introduced almost a decade ago, and the company appears to be planning to replace it with a modern twist finally. It was previously reported that the iPhone SE 4 would feature a design similar to the iPhone 15, which means that it will gain a smaller notch and a larger OLED display instead of an LCD. In a new case image of the iPhone SE 4, it can be seen that the company will keep some of the hardware changes away from the handset, such as the Action Button. […]
Today, NetEase has announced Destiny: Rising, a mobile RPG shooter based on Bungie's popular sci-fi franchise. The game will be set in an alternate timeline, and its narrative unfolds in the post-Dark Age era.

OpenAI has been aggressively progressing by constantly evolving its AI technology and bringing in innovations. As a growing number of companies are focusing more on developing more cutting-edge products and services, there is an increasing concern regarding striking a balance between innovation, profit, and ethics, especially in the tech industry. The company has gotten itself in the middle of controversies and discussions over its changing direction and prioritization of profits that even sometimes compromise safety. Now, a Nobel Prize winner has put forward one such claim about Sam Altman and the trajectories during his leadership. Nobel Prize winner claims OpenAI […]
The newly announced Dimensity 9400 is the first Android smartphone SoC to be mass produced on TSMC’s latest 3nm ‘N3E’ process, putting it on par with Apple’s A18 Pro in terms of lithography, but there are a ton of differences compared to last year’s Dimensity 9300. With the CPU cluster and GPU getting notable upgrades, MediaTek took the opportunity to compare its latest release with the A18 Pro, showcasing how fast it is in two specific benchmarks that stress the chipset’s two areas. The biggest performance difference is seen in the GPU side of things, where the Dimensity 9400’s Immortalis-G925 beats […]
Qualcomm could be on a mission to release the most powerful smartphone chipset in the world in the coming days. After all, with releases such as the A18 Pro and the Dimensity 9400 already announced, it will be an uphill battle for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 to overtake its competitors. However, according to the latest benchmarking scores, the SoC obtains the highest multi-threaded results ever when running in the upcoming Vivo iQOO 13. New multi-core scores are higher than what the OnePlus 13 obtained, all the while the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 operated at the same clock speeds The last […]
The successor to the Apple Vision Pro is said to launch in the second half of 2025, sporting the new M5 chipset, along with integration with generative AI that is said to elevate the user experience. Unfortunately, just like the $3,499 model, it is likely that a massive customer base cannot entertain a purchase yet again due to the sheer bump in price, but Apple is aware of this gap, and it is expected to address this problem next year with the unveiling of a low-cost model. The price of the affordable mixed-reality headset has been discussed in the latest […]
MediaTek officially announced the Dimensity 9400 last week, which serves as the direct successor to the Dimensity 9300. The new SoC offers 12MB of L3 cache, making it 50 percent higher than what its predecessor was treated to, but in addition to sporting a new CPU cluster, we also get a closer look at how each core now features a massive cache upgrade, while also explaining how this will benefit the Dimensity 9400 when it is found in a multitude of flagship smartphones next year. Cache size has been doubled across the board for each of the Dimensity 9400 cores, leading […]
