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 […]

During the latest episode of Giant Bomb's Game Mess Mornings, journalist and insider Jeff Grubb claimed that the new Astro Bot game might be released this year. I've heard maybe Astro does happen this year. If that happens, like, that's pretty big for me. I get why Sony's probably not thinking 'that's a major one for us', at least not yet. Hopefully, they could turn it into a major one and then a lot of this changes around. But if you get above that and it's like you're talking about Ghost of Tsushima 2 or whatever that's going to be […]
Oppo, OnePlus, and Vivo are making some really promising foldable phones, but a new rumor has suggested that this could soon come to an end. Why is it ending despite the companies being relatively successful in the foldable market? Well, the companies saw a significant drop in their market share last year, and that is going to cause them to exit the market. And if that happens, then most of the share will go to Samsung and Huawei. OnePlus, Oppo, and Vivo do not need to exit the foldable market despite what rumor claims Speaking of Huawei, the rumor also […]
It has been a little less than a year since the debut of the Galaxy S23 series, and at that time, the company revealed how it is working on an XR headset that will be made in collaboration with Google and Qualcomm--Samsung's closest allies. Sadly, at that time, we did not know about anything, and there was no release date, either. There were rumors that the headset would come out sometime in 2023, but that happened, and just when people started questioning the commitment of the South Korean tech giant, we now have some more information on the headset. Samsung's […]
Samsung is in the middle of procuring the necessary equipment that will allow the display manufacturer to set up production lines for its eight-generation OLED panels. However, one would assume that the Korean giant is making all of this investment exclusively for Apple and its future MacBook Pro family that will eventually transition to OLED technology. However, that is not the case, as a new report claims that the company is also attempting to become a supplier for other notebook makers. Samsung’s OLED production is set to become operational by the second half of 2025; will cater to orders from […]
Some new PS5 Pro details might have been revealed, including a possible price point for the rumored powered-up PS5 console. A lot has been said and written about a "Pro" version of Sony's current-gen console. Last year, alleged specs supposedly leaked, including GPU, CPU, and memory specs. In a new video from known YouTuber 'Moore's Law is Dead', some of these specs have been corroborated, although the rumored clock speeds of the CPU cannot be confirmed. Also, the YouTuber mentions that Sony is currently planning to use 16GB of GDDR6 memory (18Gbps) over a 256-bit bus. Additionally, 'Moore's Law is […]
Although Google is actively working on supporting Android 14, we keep seeing new updates and feature drops. It appears that work on Android 15 has already started because we now have a word that tells us that Google is going to launch the first preview later this week, and if that is the case, then this certainly is great news for anyone who has been waiting for the update to finally reach out to all the users who have been waiting. Android 15 could land tomorrow on all supported Pixel devices Based on a comment posted on Android Open Source […]
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 launch is yet to start, and we have already started stumbling across Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 rumors. Earlier, we reported that Qualcomm requested TSMC and Samsung for their 2nm chip samples, presumably for vetting purposes to see if one or both can be a fit for future cutting-edge chipset orders. Now, we have learned that while the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 may share the same CPU cluster, the latter is said to feature new ‘Pegasus’ CPU cores. Qualcomm to retain the same ‘Slice’ GPU architecture for the Snapdragon 8 Gen […]
The next generation Xbox console development is not being led by the team that oversaw the creation of previous consoles, according to rumors circulating online. Speaking during the latest episode of the XboxERA podcast, as clipped by @oliver_drk, @Shpeshal_Nick commented on the next Microsoft console, saying that he has heard from unspecified sources how Jason Ronald, who led the development of previous Xbox consoles, including the Xbox Series X|S, is not working on the next console, as the Surface team is now leading development. According to Nick Baker (XboxEra) Jason Ronald, the person responsible for leading development of the Xbox Series […]
The Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo's rumored next hardware, will feature digital and physical backward compatibility. At least, that's what the usually well-informed 'Necro' Felipe Lima' from Portuguese outlet Universo Nintendo writes based on information from Nintendo content creator and journalist PH Brazil. The creator said as much during his most recent podcast on Spotify. "PH Brazil is currently a content creator and also a games journalist who has already brought a lot of information about Nintendo's or partners' movements in advance and with precision in the past", Felipe writes (translated). "Taking its history into account, there is a high chance […]
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will exclusively be mass produced on TSMC’s second-generation 3nm process, but its successor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, might switch to a dual-foundry approach as Qualcomm reportedly looks to secure orders from both Samsung and its Taiwanese semiconductor rival. The San Diego chipset maker has apparently requested both companies to provide 2nm samples, which can be evaluated further. Prototype chipset development takes between 6 to 12 months, hence Qualcomm has reportedly ordered 2nm samples earlier Even though the company’s 2nm chipset launch is presumably a year away, Qualcomm reportedly wants a headstart as it aims […]
Google’s previous Tensor chipsets powering the company’s Pixel lineup of smartphones and, just recently, a tablet, are, in one way or another, based on Samsung’s previous Exynos SoC launches. The Tensor G3’s unique 9-core CPU cluster was likely based on the Korean giant’s unreleased Exynos 2300, so it would be completely fine to assume that the upcoming Tensor G4 would have some relation with the Exynos 2400. Unfortunately, the specification differences do not give us confidence in this claim, even though one tipster believes it. Tipster realizes his error with his claim; makes an updated statement that the Tensor G4 […]
As OpenAI's founder and chief Sam Altman starts beating the drums about the need to scale up global semiconductor fabrication to meet the demands of the budding artificial intelligence industry, reports from the Korean press are suggesting that the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) and the Korean memory chip manufacturer SK hynix are teaming up to produce memory products for A.I. Along with processors and GPUs, memory chips are another crucial link in artificial intelligence processing since they are indispensable to the smooth functioning of A.I. models that must parse through millions of data points to provide intelligent responses to […]
