Naturally, the technology giant would be eager to reclaim its place as the biggest global smartphone brand, and according to the latest report, it aims to achieve this by targeting its rival’s home market, South Korea, as one of the first regions for the iPhone 16 launch. With Samsung not expected to unveil its Galaxy S25 series until next year, it could give Apple the upper hand in the coming months. Local mobile carriers are said to be working on […]
A PlayStation Showcase may be planned for September to follow this month's rumored State of Play presentation, according to rumors circulating online. A few hours ago, Lunatic Ignus, who previously revealed a new Black Myth: Wukong trailer would be shared earlier this month before it actually went live, said on X/Twitter today that a new PlayStation Showcase will be held in September. While it will be some time until we learn if a new PlayStation Showcase will indeed be held this September, it makes a lot of sense for Sony to hold one that month. Not only is it the […]
Xiaomi has always been one of Qualcomm’s phone partners that gets to announce its flagships with a premium chipset first. When it comes to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 that we will most likely see getting announced in October, the Chinese company is once more said to have priority on the announcements, but only for its high-end offerings. The less expensive models sporting the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 are also slated to arrive in 2025, with one tipster stating that it will be called the K80 Pro. While some specifications of the upcoming handset have been revealed, the pricing details […]

NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5090 Flagship To Feature A Monolithic GB202 "Blackwell" Die But There Might Be A Twist Based on what we know so far, the NVIDIA GB202 "Blackwell" GPU is going to power the flagship GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card.

OpenAI’s ChatGPT caught trillion-dollar entities like Apple off-guard, with earlier reports stating that the company was working on its own chatbot dubbed ‘Apple GPT.’ It was assumed that the technology giant would deliver a preview of this technology at its upcoming WWDC 2024 keynote and later integrate it when iOS 18 officially launched later this year. Unfortunately, plans have changed, and according to the latest information, Apple is not working on a chatbot and will rely on other means to bring generative AI to the table.

The free-to-play first-person shooter game XDefiant is reportedly doing big numbers already. According to Tom Henderson, the game has become the fastest ever made by Ubisoft to surpass one million unique players. In fact, it has already managed to break through the three million unique player milestone. It goes without saying that XDefiant is currently outperforming even Ubisoft's rosiest expectations. However, the big question with a live service game like this is whether it can retain players' interest over time. While Call of Duty Modern Warfare III has certainly underwhelmed, the same might not be true for 2024's title, which […]
The Xbox Next is going to be a very different gaming device compared to its predecessors, according to rumors circulating online. According to Windows Central's Jez Corden, Microsoft's next-generation console will likely be a reference device with a heavy Windows slant for manufacturers to make their own devices, like the Surface Pro 11 is a reference device for AI PCs. This would be a huge departure from the previous Xbox consoles, as it would essentially make it a PC that could potentially run Steam games as well, and thus even the former PlayStation exclusives available on Valve's digital store like […]

There have been a lot of quality first-party PlayStation 5 games, but perhaps the most underappreciated is Astro’s Playroom. Sure, it was just a relatively small-scale pack-in title, but Astro’s Playroom was a ton of fun and made better use of the Dualsense controller’s unique features than any game since. Well, according to reliable leaker Billbil-kun, a new entry in the Astro series, simply titled Astro Bot, is in the works at Team Asobi and will be revealed sometime within the next 15 days. Billbil-kun hints that the game may have multiple playable characters, including one that looks like a […]
It looks like AMD has internally decided to drop the "Ryzen AI 100" branding for its Strix APUs and instead use "Ryzen AI 300" naming convention. AMD Jumping Straight To "Ryzen AI 300" Series With Strix APUs Instead of "Ryzen AI 100" To Counter Intel "Core Ultra 200" Naming Earlier this month, it was found out that AMD was going to use a brand new naming scheme for its upcoming Strix Point APUs.
