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 […]

Samsung is reported to stick with a dual-chipset launch strategy for its upcoming Galaxy S25 series, where some regions will offer the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, while others will sell the Exynos 2500 variants. The Exynos 2400 provided a slew of surprises as the company significantly improved its current-generation flagship SoC. Next year, Samsung is expected to kick things up a notch and is rumored to leverage its second-generation 3nm process to mass produce the Exynos 2500. This move could give the SoC power efficiency attributes that dwarf Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. Designing and producing the Exynos 2500 […]
Samsung introduced its own version of generative AI with the Galaxy S24 series called Galaxy AI, offering a suite of features that improve the daily driving experience of the company’s flagships. Now, the Korean giant is said to shift into overdrive mode, with the latest rumor doing the rounds claiming that Google’s second-generation Gemini Nano update will power the Galaxy S25. The company is said to collaborate with the advertising titan, which only means that next year’s flagships should tout even more features than the Galaxy S24 range. Exact features list was not mentioned in the rumor, but Google could […]
Possible specifications of Intel's next-gen Granite Rapids-AP "Xeon 6" CPUs with up to 128 P-Cores have been leaked. Intel Xeon 6 P-Core Family To Feature CPUs With Up To 128 P-Cores: Granite Rapids-AP 6980P, 6979P, 6972P & 6960P Leak Out The leaked specifications come from RainNymph, a member of the Intel Insiders Community. The member talked a little bit about the Intel Xeon 6 family and what we can expect from the next-gen family too. First up, we have to talk about the four Intel Granite Rapids-AP "Xeon 6" SKUs which have been revealed along with their specifications. It is […]
The partnership between Apple and TSMC has enabled both companies to bring out the best when it comes to cutting-edge chips. The Cupertino firm not only attempts to remain ahead of the competition by investing in advanced nodes such as 3nm, but it is also exploring other packaging technologies such as 3DFabric with its foundry partner. Now, according to one rumor, Apple is exploring SoIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) packaging, which can bring a multitude of benefits to the table, so let us check out all the details here. A small-scale pilot test of SoIC packaging is rumored to be underway, […]
Qualcomm might find it difficult to tame the power consumption of the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, despite the chipset reported on multiple occasions to be mass produced on TSMC’s 3nm ‘N3E’ node. Theoretically, an improved manufacturing process should mean that the flagship SoC will be energy-efficient, but a tipster hints that smartphone makers opting to use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 in their models will add bigger batteries. Companies may compensate for the silicon’s increased power by incorporating bigger cells to deliver that record runtime. Phone makers are rumored to use 5,500mAh batteries in flagships sporting the Snapdragon 8 […]
Huawei has discontinued its P-series of flagships by introducing a re-brand of the Pura 70 family, which can mean that the company will put on a positive first impression by bringing an attractive design and notable hardware upgrades to the upcoming models. Naturally, a name change will also pique the interest of potential buyers, resulting in higher sales. Consumers will probably believe that this re-brand will have immense significance in the way Huawei sets its future goals. One tipster notes that based on the current product packaging volume, sales of the Pura 70 range will remain as ‘tight’ as the Mate […]
Apple has been reported on multiple occasions to bring various camera improvements to the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, which includes bringing the tetraprism upgrade to the smaller version and an entirely new Sony sensor for the primary unit. The company also intends to address the lens flare problem on its upcoming premium models, with the latest rumor stating that a special ‘Atomic Layer Deposition’ (ALD) coating will be used to alleviate that effect while improving image quality. Let us take a look at the details. ALD produces a thin film layer, so it will not compromise the […]
Apple currently leverages TSMC’s 3nm process for several of its chipsets, and the company may stick to this manufacturing process for a few iPhone generations. According to the latest report, the iPhone 17 will not be the first lineup to sport an A-series SoC fabricated on the ultra-advanced 2nm node. This will mean that the A19 Pro that is expected in 2025 will retain the 3nm lithography, but it will not be the same technology, as you will soon find out. Apple expected to use TSMC’s 3nm ‘N3P’ process for the A19 Pro, which will likely be found in the […]
Google’s Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro will not only receive notable design changes, as seen thanks to a previously leaked render gallery, but it is reported that two meaningful upgrades will arrive for the two models. According to the latest report, one is a new 5G modem, while the other is satellite connectivity, a feature Apple introduced with the iPhone 14 series in 2022. A new Exynos 5400 5G modem is said to arrive to the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro; satellite connectivity will be focused on two-way messaging Since switching to its semi-custom Tensor chipsets in 2021, Google’s […]
Apple currently sells the M2 Ultra versions of the Mac Studio and Mac Pro. With the M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max launched in October 2023, it is strange that the company has yet to launch the M3 Ultra. What is even stranger is that a new report states that the M4 Ultra will power Apple’s workstation hardware, with one of the models launching in the middle of 2025. Does that mean that the M3 Ultra models will not see an announcement? Read on ahead to find out. The M3 Ultra launch has conflicting reports, but workstation-based SoC may arrive […]
A series of upgraded Macs sporting Apple’s newest M4 SoC are scheduled to launch later this year, with the company reportedly following a similar unveiling strategy as it did with the M3 unveiling. In short, we could see four next-generation chipsets be announced in the future, with the M4 Ultra also said to be developed for Apple’s most powerful machines. New report hints that all M4 chipsets will tout incredible processing capabilities, as they will support advanced AI-related functionality It is unsurprising to hear that the M4 specifications are yet to be revealed this early, especially when Apple’s M3 Ultra […]
As we wait for the official arrival of the P70 series, Huawei is rumored to introduce the direct successor to the Mate 60 lineup later this year, the Mate 70. The company is said to announce the new models in October, with its highlights being an upgraded Kirin chipset and improved imaging capabilities. Unfortunately, in-depth details of the SoC are yet to be unearthed, but looking at Huawei’s current efforts, it could be its most advanced silicon to date. The unnamed Kirin chipset powering the Mate 70 family could be Huawei’s first 5nm silicon, directly succeeding the Kirin 9000S With […]
