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 Galaxy Tab S10+ and Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra will reportedly enter mass production in August, with Samsung expected to use MediaTek’s Dimensity 9300+ for the first time in its flagship tablet family. As Qualcomm continues to raise its chipset prices, the Korean giant has to seek alternatives to reduce its component cost or continue bearing reduced profit margins on each sale. As it so happens, one report states that by teaming up with MediaTek, Samsung will gain increased bargaining power over Qualcomm, maybe to the extent that the latter provides its Snapdragon shipments at a lower price. Samsung’s 18 […]
Apple’s plans of introducing a more affordable iPhone are starting to take proper form, as the iPhone SE 4 is expected to enter mass production stage in October later this year. However, customers who do not intend to upgrade to any iPhone 16 model will be disappointed to learn that the low-cost version may not arrive in the remaining months of 2024, with the technology giant possibly introducing it early next year. Looking at the mass production timeline, the iPhone SE 4 could launch ahead of the Lunar New Year in January 2025 A detailed report by The Information not […]
The Mate 70 launch was previously rumored to be in October, but Huawei is now said to have delayed its upcoming flagship smartphone series because there is still work remaining for HarmonyOS NEXT. For those that do not know, the former Chinese giant was earlier reported to be ditching Android for good and completely transition to its in-house operating system so that it is free of any U.S. trade sanctions. Unfortunately, having the ambition to develop an elaborate custom platform is one thing, and going through with it in a few years is an entirely different scenario. Mate 70 Kirin […]
NVIDIA reportedly already has a Titan-class graphics card based on its next-gen Blackwell GPU architecture but its launch is doubtful. NVIDIA Titan Series Graphics Cards Do Exist But Behind Curtains As Leaker Suggests A Next-Gen Design Powered By Blackwell GPUs NVIDIA's Titan series of graphics cards have long seen no action. The last Titan card was the Titan RTX which launched back in 2018 and features the Turing GPU architecture. Since then, NVIDIA has released two new generations of GPUs, Ampere and Ada Lovelace, both of which didn't see a Titan-class graphics card. For some time, it was believed that […]
Samsung is preparing to launch its flagship tablet series in the fourth quarter of this year, with an analyst stating that two models, the Galaxy Tab S10+ and the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra, will enter production in August. What is strange about the latest update is that there is no mention of the base version from the panel procurement or suppliers side, indicating that the Korean giant is ready to introduce a drastic change to its lineup. This is not the first time that Samsung has been rumored to phase out the base model in favor of introducing two bigger ones, […]
The Apple Vision Pro had a ton of hype, hardware, and features set behind it to help the company take this category to new heights. Unfortunately, the launch in the U.S. has yet to bear fruit, as previous shipment estimates revealed that the AR headset did not even touch 100,000 units in the region. It was clear that the device would not record 500,000 sales in a single year, but Apple could still offset these losses by launching the head-mounted wearable overseas, including China. Sadly, a rumor claims that the product is yet to garner sufficient popularity, as its return […]
The Kirin 9000S that allowed Huawei to break free of the U.S. trade ban was mass produced on SMIC’s 7nm (N+2) technology, with the company maintaining its momentum with the Kirin 9010 that is found in the Pura 70 series. For the Mate 70 range, rumors have disseminated in multiple directions, with whispers claiming that the former Chinese giant would use SMIC’s 5nm process that the semiconductor manufacturer reportedly developed successfully. However, there appears to be a twist in Huawei’s plans, with one rumor stating that the next Kirin SoC powering the Mate 70 series would be mass manufactured on […]
Qualcomm will leverage TSMC’s second-generation 3nm process for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, which only means that we should bear witness to the chipset’s incredible power-efficiency attributes. Then again, it is also possible that the San Diego has optimized the SoC to the extent that the Adreno 750 GPU delivers incredible ‘performance per watt’ compared to MediaTek’s Dimensity 9300. According to new internal testing data, the graphics side of the silicon could exhibit jaw-dropping power consumption, but the same cannot be said about the CPU. Tipster reveals that Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 CPU’s efficiency is beyond underwhelming at just single-digit […]
Alleged prices of AMD's Ryzen 9000 "Zen 5" Desktop CPUs have been revealed & it may look like the top 9950X chip would top out at $499 US if these are the real deal. AMD Ryzen 9000 "Zen 5" Desktop CPU Prices Might Be Super Competitive If These Alleged Prices Are To Be Believed, Ryzen 9 9950X Flagship For $499 US The pricing information comes from Anandtech Forum member, Hail The Brain Slug, who allegedly knows someone working at BestBuy. In the conversation, the alleged BestBuy employee revealed the Ryzen 9000 CPUs are in stock & ready for the retail […]
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 sports a slightly thinner frame while being lighter than previous-generation foldable flagships, but Samsung’s mobile division head, TM Roh, reportedly has grand plans for next year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The executive has reportedly told engineers to make the upcoming handset thinner than the Galaxy S24 Ultra, making it the sleekest foldable smartphone that the company would ever release. Unfortunately, it is not as simple as it sounds, and there are various drawbacks to making devices incredibly thin. Galaxy Z Fold 7 could be as thin as 7nm when folded, 58 percent thinner than the […]
Sony's rumored upgraded PlayStation 5 model, the PS5 Pro, might very well not release later this year. At least, that's what reputable leakier Tom Henderson appears to have been suggesting on X some hours ago. When asked about a possible September announcement for the long-rumored Pro model, Henderson replied - "If it releases this year!". While this doesn't directly confirm that the PS5 Pro model won't be launching this year (heck, Sony hasn't even commented on the model's existence), this reply is somewhat interesting as Henderson has long been saying that Sony is planning a holiday 2024 release for the […]
The Pura 70 family launched in China with four models on offer in April, and it quickly became one of the fastest-selling handsets in China, and to the extent that a Huawei insider has revealed that the company’s annual shipments increased 125 percent annually compared to the P60 series that was introduced last year. The initial shipment target for the former Chinese giant with the latest lineup was 10 million units, and looking at its current pace, it is likely that Huawei will achieve its goal relatively comfortably. More Huawei smartphone shipment details revealed that the company shipped 6.2 million […]
