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.

The Last of Us Part II Remastered PC version might be announced soon, according to new insider Silknigth, who previously leaked the Ghost of Tsushima PC announcement in advance. The leaker said the official announcement is expected at some point in April. They also added there would be a 'longer-than-usual' period between the announcement and release.

In this case, fans might have to wait a bit longer, but the fact that we're still early in the year suggests there's a solid chance to see […]
The Dimensity 9300 has set the stage for MediaTek, howling that it is back in the premium Android smartphone segment, and it intends to make its rivals nervous with the Dimensity 9400 launch. With the exception of Google and Apple, the Taiwanese firm has signed on every other phone maker as its customer, but Vivo is rumored to want a first crack at the company’s flagship silicon, and it may have already secured the first batch for itself. A new report also compares the performance differences of the Dimensity 9400 with the Dimensity 9300, claiming a 20 percent improvement. Dimensity 9300 […]
Apple launched its new MacBook Pro lineup, along with the M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max, back in October 2023, though some might have concluded that the company rushed the release of the newer models just before the year closed so that it would have a positive outlook on the annual sales tally. Going by this schedule, the new M4 MacBook Pro is not expected until next year, but according to a Q&A session, ‘formal development’ of the portable Mac has started, meaning that Apple is eyeing a jumpstart against the competition. Apple’s current launch timeline dictates that the M4 […]
The A18 Pro is said to launch later this year and will likely exclusively power the more expensive iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, with the less costly models featuring the A17 Pro. Unfortunately, in terms of multi-core performance, Apple may be unable to justify the premium being charged on its ‘Pro’ handsets because a tipster says that the newest A-series SoC may only register a 10 percent performance improvement compared to its direct predecessor. On the plus side, Apple may prioritize record-breaking battery life by deliberately reducing the A18 Pro’s multi-core performance On X, @negativeonehero provided some […]

The first notebooks sporting Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite will launch from Samsung and is said to be called the Galaxy Book 4 Edge. According to information from foreign retailers, the upcoming machine will sport specifications that compete with Apple’s M-series of MacBooks, including the latest M3 MacBook Air, but that also means that consumers will have to pay a premium to experience Windows 11 and a high-end ARM SoC paired together. One Galaxy Book 4 Edge variant said to cost around €1,800 in Europe, or approximately $1,970, making it a pricey MacBook rival Consumers electronics in Europe are typically priced higher […]
More rumors surrounding NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 50 "Blackwell" Gaming GPUs have been reported by Koptite7kimi such as GPU SKUs & memory configs.

After SMIC was reportedly setting up chip production for Huawei to start mass production of 5nm wafers later this year, China’s biggest semiconductor manufacturer is now rumored to be assembling a team dedicated to 3nm chip development. For obvious reasons, the company will seek aid to help achieve this monumental goal and, in the process, obtain complete autonomy from foreign companies and the tight grip that the U.S. has on them. SMIC said to seek subsidies from the Chinese government to help it reach its goal of mass production of 3nm wafers As reported by DigiTimes, Joongang mentions that SMIC’s […]

The success of Helldivers 2 continues unabated. Even yesterday, the third-person cooperative sci-fi shooter game nearly reached its historical peak of 450K concurrent online users on Steam. The user reception on Valve's store has meaningfully improved compared to launch, too, leaping from the original 67% 'Mixed' review rating to the current 81% 'Very Positive' review rating.

According to GamesIndustry.biz's Christopher Dring, the game has seen three consecutive weeks of growth (a 115% improvement in week two and another 21% in week three) after […]
There was a slight chance that Samsung would have partnered with MediaTek to bring its Dimensity 9000 to its flagship Galaxy S series in the past. Given that the Taiwanese company took the premium Android SoC market by surprise with this release, competitors started taking note of MediaTek and where it could be headed. Unfortunately, the deal between the two firms could not materialize, with a tipster sharing that there was a scarce supply of the chipset, amongst other reasons. Majority of MediaTek’s Dimensity 9300 supply was already allocated to its Chinese clientele, meaning Samsung struck out again When the […]
