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 […]

Apple has most certainly put its competitors to shame with the pricing of its base M4 Mac mini, as the $599 amount is a figure that the majority of buyers can easily undertake. The only downside to this hardware is that you only get 256GB of storage, which cannot be upgraded unless you are proficient in micro-soldering, which is not the case for a large percentage of Apple’s consumers. In this scenario, you have to be extra responsible when it comes to storage management, but one modder shows how easy it is to go from 256GB to 2TB, assuming you […]
The Pixel 6 initiated Google’s Tensor chipset journey, with immediate successors being used in the newer models. For several generations, the Mountain View giant has been severely criticized for favoring its chipsets over Qualcomm’s, which has led to these expensive flagships being significantly slower than the competition, with multiple overheating reports that pop up every once in a while. Google will eventually tame the thermals aspect of its custom silicon by switching to TSMC’s 3nm N3E process for the Tensor G5, but according to leaked documents, the company will likely never partner with Qualcomm as it wants to continue making […]
Apple had to bring upon some ‘magic’ engineering to make sure that its latest M4 Mac mini becomes significantly smaller than previous-generation models. Getting a closer look inside the compact machine, we find numerous internal changes and a revamped cooling solution that allows the redesigned computer to run cool while flaunting a smaller footprint. User-replaceable storage and a single heatpipe solution make up the M4 Mac mini internals, but be careful when removing the bottom panel One of the hosts of the YouTube channel Max Tech learned the hard way when removing the M4 Mac mini’s bottom black panel, and in […]
OpenAI's continuous work on exploring AI and the technological possibilities it holds has been creating quite the buzz for a while now, with users and the tech community hooked on their new model release and the advancements it has in store. While the company is vigorously working on the development of AGI (Artificial General Intelligence), many key employees of previously prominent companies have joined OpenAI to play their part in bringing AGI forward. Now, the company's CEO Sam Altman, hinted on the AGI benchmark to be hit in the next five years, and also mentioned about the impact on society […]
Apple might be late to dive into the gaming market, but its M4 is definitely a capable SoC that can push respectable framerates in somewhat older AAA titles such as Death Stranding. When running the game on the new Mac mini at the ‘Very High’ settings, the robust cooling solution of the compact machine likely comes in handy, making it an enjoyable experience. It remains to be seen how relatively modern games would perform on the latest Mac mini, but first, let us take a look at Death Stranding. Death Stranding performance test on the M4 Mac mini was performed […]
Huawei was previously rumored to have been receiving 7nm chip shipments from TSMC, but the only way that could be possible was through proxies. While the Taiwanese semiconductor giant has re-assured that it will take prompt action if found violating the trade sanctions, with Donald Trump being re-appointed as the U.S. President, you can strongly believe that his administration will be locked in on China. According to the latest report, TSMC has notified its Chinese customers through email that all 7nm and below chip shipments will be halted starting next week. Companies that relied on TSMC’s 7nm process and newer […]
Apple launched the new M4 MacBook Pro models last week, and the new machines have been receiving pretty good reviews, especially when it comes to the performance of the machines. While the M4 chip has offered significant gains in terms of performance, the M4 Pro and M4 Max chips are the highlight of the upgrade, with performance levels beating the flagship processors from the competition. Check out the M4 MacBook Pro review roundup below for additional details on the devices. Apple's M4 MacBook Pro reviews are out, highlighting the new Nano-Texture display, M4 Chip Performance, More The first wave of […]
Last week was swamped with Mac announcements and what the refreshed and new models entailed. The tech community was particularly interested in the iMac with the M4 chip and the power-packed performance it was meant to deliver. Apple even emphasized its efficiency and power through an advertisement that metaphorically represented the M4 chip coming out as a champion. The new iMac is to hit the shelves on Friday, and consumers can get their hands on it tomorrow. As the official launch is just around the corner, early reviews are out for the all-in-one desktop computer. Reviews of Apple's latest iMac […]
Apple’s redesigned Mac mini can be configured with either the M4 or M4 Pro chipsets, but unlike the previous-generation models, the physical size has been reduced drastically, making it exceptionally portable, with all models now offered with 16GB unified RAM as standard. Additionally, the company offers double the memory at the same $599 starting price, with these improvements and more being a few of the many reasons why technology outlets and content creators have a boatload of positive things to say about the compact but capable machine. The Verge’s Chris Welch praised the value of the M4 Mac mini, saying that $599 […]
The tech community is hooked on the S series as Samsung will unveil its Galaxy S25 lineup at the start of next year. While there is still time for the release, the rumor mill seems to be churning in full swing. The leaks have given us a sneak peek into what to expect from the upcoming series, including some key information on the features and the potential colors. The company is expected to incorporate a new 'Slim' model of the Galaxy S25, which would be part of the S series. While each device would offer its unique set of color […]
Apple is done unveiling its initial M4 series, which includes the M4 Max, which only means that the M4 Ultra remains and will most likely be announced next year when the company announces the Mac Pro, but no word if an updated Mac Studio will be unveiled alongside it. We have already reported about the estimated graphics performance of the chipset, where a content creator calculated that the 80-core GPU of the M4 Ultra beats the desktop version of NVIDIA’s RTX 4090 across both OpenCL and Vulkan APIs, even if it is just a single benchmark. Now, we get our […]
A growing number of companies are working on smartphones with thinner profiles as users seek more modern devices with a sleeker look. While we have been hearing about Samsung working on a "Slim" version of the Galaxy S25 for a while, the South Korean tech giant is not the only company that is trying their hands on a thinner smartphone, as Apple is reportedly working on an iPhone 17 "Slim" version to come out in 2025 and that might potentially come in place of the iPhone Plus. A recent listing shared on the smartphone database reveals that Samsung is in […]
