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 […]

Admittedly, he said he is not 100% sure. The reason is that he found the following retail special editions that […]
The PlayStation 5 Pro will be marketed as a 120 FPS, 4K machine, thanks to its better specs and AI upscaling, which Sony has been working on for a while, according to rumors circulating online. In a new video shared today by Moore's Law is Dead, NXGamer's Michael revealed that a few unnamed sources confirmed that the upcoming hardware refresh will indeed feature some AI upscaling in the vein of NVIDIA DLSS that has been in the works for some time, which, alongside the improved specs over the base model, will allow Sony to market the system as a 120 […]
The new Cortex-X5 design from ARM appears to be running into problems, with a new rumor stating that the super core is experiencing severely high power consumption at raised clock speeds and offering diminished multi-core performance when that maximum power limit is reduced. While this may not be an issue for Qualcomm as its Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is said to adopt custom CPU designs, MediaTek may be sweating profusely as it has to eventually announce the Dimensity 9400, which is said to adopt the same Cortex-X5 in its CPU cluster. Chipsets like MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400 will suffer the most […]
Samsung appears to have failed in its quest to secure large customers for its 3nm GAA process, with TSMC having the upper hand as it reportedly aims to reach production of its next-generation node to 100,000 monthly wafers by the end of 2024. To combat its biggest foundry rival, instead of finding a way to increase its 3nm yields. Samsung is apparently focusing on its 2nm technology, and according to the latest report, the next Exynos SoC is supposedly being tested on this lithography. After Qualcomm requested 2nm chip samples from TSMC and Samsung, an unnamed Exynos is said to […]
The Galaxy Ring might officially take shape during the second half of 2024, assuming the latest report’s information turns out to be legit. Typically, Samsung hosts a second Galaxy Unpacked event in July or August, but the new rumor also says that the wearable will not just be unveiled early but also come in different sizes to accommodate a bigger customer base. In short, Samsung appears to be going ‘all in’ in this new category, with earlier reports stating that various health features will be integrated into this device to make it a more appealing purchase. Samsung has ambitious plans […]
Intel Clearwater Forest Xeon CPUs will be making use of Foveros Direct technology to 3D Stack up to 288 cores on top of the base tile, says Bionic_Squash. Intel Foveros Direct Technology To Be Utilized To 3D Stack Up To 288 Darkmont E-Cores Cores on Clearwater Forest Xeon CPUs The Clearwater Forest CPUs are going to be the successor to the Sierra Forest Xeon chips which launch around mid-2024. These chips have one thing in common and that's the use of E-Cores instead of P-Cores. The E-Cores used by Sierra Forest chips are codenamed Sierra Glen and are slightly modified […]
A couple of weeks ago, we ran into some patents that showcased that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is going to come with a wider cover display that is more akin to other foldable phones in the market, like the Pixel Fold and OnePlus Open, and I would personally consider that a win because having a wider cover display means that the phone is easier to handle and looks better, too. Galaxy Z Fold 6's design still looms in the unknown as more details emerge, contradicting what we have heard about the phone in the past However, a new rumor […]

An earlier rumor was disseminating information that Apple had halted work on its foldable iPhone because there were durability concerns regarding the display. Now, a new update claims that the technology giant is actively developing the device and has actually reassigned some key personnel hailing from the Apple Vision Pro team to work on this new form factor. Fresh rumor also alleges that Apple is eyeing a shipments target of 50 million units for the foldable iPhone An individual close to Apple’s internal plans informed Alpha Biz that the company is actively working to launch the foldable iPhone.

Huawei’s re-entry into the smartphone market with its Kirin 9000S is regarded as a miracle in this industry, but that does not alter the fact that it is significantly slower than the competition. This is to be expected, as SMIC, Huawei’s foundry partner, is currently limited to mass producing 7nm wafers on older DUV equipment, meaning that technologically, it is inferior to Samsung and TSMC and will likely trail behind them in the long run. However, these limitations do not mean that future Kirin SoCs have to continue being slower, with the latest rumor claiming that the Mate 70 lineup […]
A report by Chinese technology outlet, UDN, suggests that AMD's Zen 5 CPUs will be entering TSMC fabs in Q2 followed by mass production in Q3 2024.

All of these CPU families will play a major role and […]
The Apple Vision Pro launch was met with a series of positive reviews, with a Microsoft executive and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman thoroughly impressed with the product. However, that does not mean that the product is perfect because aside from the hefty $3,499 price, there are other concerns that everyday users are experiencing. Fortunately, Apple has plenty of time to address them, as the latest report states that the successor is at least 18 months away, giving the company sufficient time to make some refinements. First-generation Apple products were never considered to be perfect, so the second-generation Vision Pro can […]
