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 3nm GAA process might have beaten TSMC’s 3nm ‘N3B’ variant in the launch timeline, but it will matter little if Samsung cannot increase those yields where it makes sense for clients to place orders with the Korean giant. A rumor claims that the foundry had a respectable yield target for both its first and second-generation 3nm GAA node, which was 70 percent, but it has yet to reach that threshold, which would explain why Samsung has failed to attract new customers to this technology. In fact, one rumor claims that second-generation 3nm GAA yields are abysmal, where they have not […]
The lack of an affordable price and expanded app repository meant that the Apple Vision Pro would never be the ‘home run’ product, with the latest evidence being that the headset’s production is set to end this year. The company has reportedly hit a snag with its low-cost model, and where it was mentioned that the device would launch sometime in 2025, the production timeline has been delayed beyond 2027. Regardless, an update states that Apple can still turn its headset business into a $25 billion one provided a multitude of products can fill this category, including a pair of […]
Apple Intelligence is the company's latest service for its users, which could be added to the company line of platforms that it charges for. However, the AI features are still young, and the company has a long way to go before calling it perfect. The company announced the platform at its WWDC event back in June, and the scale of the service was pretty big, but Apple Intelligence failed to make a mark at this stage. The company is gradually rolling out updates with new features, and iOS 18.2 will be another significant update, which will be released with ChatGPT […]
Apple's first generation of Vision Pro headset is a marvel of engineering, but its staggering price point makes it an iffy machine for many. Since it is the company's first iteration of the mixed reality headset, it failed to bring down the cost of production and components, which were transferred over to the end user in the form of a hefty price tag. It is now speculated that the company will launch the Vision Pro 2 headset in the latter half of 2026 or the first half of 2026. Apple to launch the Vision Pro 2 in the fall of […]
It took some clever engineering to reduce the footprint of the redesigned Mac mini while also equipping it with some incredibly powerful internals. Still critics will be quick to point fingers at Apple on certain decisions, such as moving the power button to the bottom of the chassis. While it can become an inconvenience to power the machine, two Apple executives explain why this position exists and why it is not a big deal for people who brought up the issue in the first place. Most Mac mini owners would never power off their device and would rather put it […]
TSMC recently notified various Chinese customers through email that it would no longer provide these companies with chip shipments of 7nm and below technologies, and given that Donald Trump recently won the Presidential election, we doubt that these two events are mere coincidences. According to the latest report, the U.S. was indeed the driving force when it comes to forcing the Taiwanese semiconductor behemoth to halt chip supply for its overseas clients, as there is a possibility that any one of these entities could somehow be linked to Huawei. Chip shipments to Chinese firm Sophgo were suspended after the latter’s design […]
Apple is constantly striving to improve the security of its iPhones, with one of the more robust features being that a stolen device becomes equivalent to a paperweight if the passcode or password cannot be remembered. As for the latest one that is baked into iOS 18.1, law enforcement personnel were probably scratching their heads when they witnessed various iPhone models mysteriously rebooting, but that is just another clever approach the Cupertino giant employed to prevent the police from breaking into these handsets. A new report says that the latest iOS 18.1 feature is called ‘inactivity reboot,’ which restarts the […]
Lately, telecommunication service providers have been under hot waters from regulatory authorities and have been levied heavy fines due to consent not being taken from consumers when sharing sensitive information. Now AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon have all unanimously decided to pursue their case by contesting the claim made by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) against it mishandling users' personal data. AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon are challenging substantial fines imposed by the FCC for sharing sensitive data of users with third-party services While AT&T and T-Mobile have had their share of troubles this year and have managed to stay in the […]
Apple launched the new M4 MacBook Pro models recently, and the new chips pack enormous power, a significant reason why you should consider upgrading. However, there are not many visual differences compared to the M3 version, but it is not a bad thing, per se, as the all-screen design is still great compared to today's standards. In a new video, YouTube channel Max Tech shared details on the battery of the M4 MacBook Pro, highlighting that it is 5 percent bigger in size, which the form factor and design have been kept the same. Apple's M4 MacBook Pro features a […]
Apple announced the new Mac mini last month with some major design changes, and the machine is now significantly smaller than the previous version but way more powerful. The M4 Pro chip in the device is quite capable, allowing the mini computer to handle AAA gaming titles from a few years ago, which is an amazing feat considering gaming on a Mac has been a lost cause over the years. Now, the new M4 Mac mini has experienced a teardown, which aims to show what changes the company has implemented on the inside and what modularity we can expect. Teardown […]
OpenAI has been in the news since its inception of ChatGPT and has been actively evolving its technology, developing new models, and working aggressively to bring AGI forward. While the company's progression is widely praised, it had to face some legal pressure for misusing articles from news outlets to train its large language models. However, the artificial intelligence giant has been able to dodge the lawsuit for now as a federal judge in New York has dismissed the case. A federal judge has dismissed a copyright lawsuit against OpenAI for failing to present enough evidence OpenAI found itself to be […]
The Mate 70 lineup will comprise of a standard model, followed by the more premium versions sporting the Pro, Pro+, and RS Ultimate monikers. Undoubtedly, the more expensive variants will be equipped with better hardware, such as the Kirin 9100, which is said to be the former Chinese giant’s next flagship SoC. Unfortunately, a new rumor claims that the same silicon will not debut in the base model, highlighting that Huawei wants to conserve its new SoC for the pricier models due to ongoing yield issues. The Kirin 9010 might be used in the standard Mate 70, but a new […]
