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.

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 […]

Likely anticipating high demand, the latest report claims that the technology giant is engaged with its suppliers, targeting an initial shipment of 90 million units. Despite analysts believing that the upcoming smartphone range will not sell well due to lackluster features, the latest figure is 10 percent higher than the number of iPhone 15 units that Apple was estimated to have shipped in 2023. New report states that Apple Intelligence will be seen as a critical […]
Apple is said to bring its tetraprism zoom lens to both the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, but when talking about specifications, both flagships are said to feature a camera that will reportedly remain unchanged from the iPhone 15 Pro Max. However, according to one analyst, that will not be the case with the iPhone 17 Pro Max launching in 2025, as not only will it sport a telephoto zoom camera upgrade, but its other sensors will also be improved, making it the only model from the technology giant to feature 48MP shooters at the rear side.

The wait for Call of Duty Modern Warfare III on Microsoft's Game Pass subscription service is nearly over, at least according to a new report from insider Tom Henderson. The report says the game will be added to the library later this month and goes on to state that the original plan was to announce it alongside the Game Pass price increase news that was shared a few hours ago, likely in an attempt to soften the blow. The official announcement may come later today. As a reminder, the Xbox Game Pass for console service will be closed off to […]
Apple has maintained a slow pace when incorporating fast charging support on its devices, but with the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max launch, the company is rumored to bridge the gap by introducing a maximum wattage of 40W through a wired connection. That is not all the improvements coming to the upcoming flagships because Apple is said to introduce an upgrade to MagSafe wireless charging too. Aside from wired charging, iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are rumored to support MagSafe wireless charging up to 20W The iPhone 15 range can support up to 27W […]
AMD is preparing a new Hawk Point APU under the Ryzen 8040 family, the Ryzen 7 8745HS, which will reportedly feature no AI NPU. AMD's NPU-Less Ryzen 8040 "Hawk Point" APU Coming To Laptops, Ryzen 7 8745HS Share Same Specs As 8845HS But No NPU The information comes from reputable leaker and insider, Golden Pig Upgrade at Weibo, who says that AMD is preparing a new Ryzen 8040 APU that won't feature any NPU hardware. The new APU will feature the same specs as one of the SKUs that's already been released, the Ryzen 7 8845HS, & will target the […]
NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5090 GPU is rumored to feature a base clock near the 3 GHz mark which would be a massive uplift over the 4090. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Rumor Reveals Impressive Base Clocks For The Flagship Blackwell Gaming GPU The latest rumor comes from Chiphell Forum member, Panzerlied, who had previously shared info on the Blackwell "GeForce RTX 50" GPUs. While we still have no official word on the NVIDIA RTX 50 "Blackwell" GPUs besides Jensen Huang saying during a Computex Q&A session that the next-gen 50-series is "something" and that he can't wait to talk about it […]
The OnePlus Ace 3 Pro launch is solid proof that a flagship can sport a thin chassis and still be crammed with a sizable 6,100mAh battery, thanks to a new technology that the company explored earlier. The successful implementation of this technology is the reason why the latest rumor claims that the Chinese electronics manufacturer is working on a 7,000mAh battery that will be found in a future smartphone. It is safe to say that we will see tablet-sized cells fueling many handsets in the future. The massive battery may only be found in an upcoming OnePlus mid-ranger, but will […]

Intel's Arrow Lake-S engineering samples reportedly feature up to a 15% performance increase versus Raptor Lake CPUs. Intel Arrow Lake-S Early Samples Are 3% Faster In Single & 15% Faster In Multi-Core Performance at 250W We have seen some performance estimates for the Intel Arrow Lake-S Desktop CPUs in the past and now, @Jaykihn has shared new figures which are still based on early engineering samples, ES2 to be precise. The difference is that these are based on actual samples rather than being estimates like the ones we saw last year. Starting with the information, the Intel Arrow Lake-S "ES2" […]
AMD's Ryzen 9 9900X 12-Core Desktop CPU has been benchmarked in Geekbench, scoring some impressive gains versus Intel's 14th Gen CPUs.

Cramming various health-focused features on an Apple Watch is a Herculean task, but the technology giant has successfully managed to add a couple, such as ECG, and they have been life savers, literally. However, this is not the end of the road for Apple as it aims to expand its health feature portfolio, though its efforts have been unable to bear fruit, at least for now. One addition that the company has been working on for years is blood glucose monitoring, and despite numerous setbacks, a new report states that the firm made major milestones with it. The only problem […]
A new Kirin chipset is expected to be announced later this year, with Huawei rumored to use its upcoming silicon in the Mate 70 series. So far, all of the former Chinese giant’s SoC releases have been disappointing, but that is no fault of Huawei, as the U.S. trade ban prevents it from procuring cutting-edge wafers from TSMC. However, the upcoming Kirin version could deliver the most significant performance leap in a long time, with a rumor claiming that it will be faster than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Additionally, the interface fluidity of devices powered by this chip, which […]
