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 […]

Sony Xperia phones used to be my favorite--the last great one that I used was the Xperia Z2, which remained my daily driver for over two years. The company is still making phones under the same brand name, and these phones are seriously overpowered in every way. However, it now appears that the company might be changing the name to something else, and this could hint at a revival. There is a possibility that we might get a rebranded Sony Xperia phone, and I am all for it You see, Sony Xperia phones are great. However, Sony does not pay […]
A report from the South Korean website InsightKorea reveals that Crimson Desert may have been internally moved from Q2 2024 to Q2 2025 by developer Pearl Abyss (known as the maker of Black Desert Online and owner of CCP Games). Kim Jin-gu, a researcher at Kiwoom Securities, was quoted saying: There was a delay of about a year in the release of Crimson Desert, which exceeded the 3 to 6 months acceptable in the market. At the same time, he maintains that Pearl Abyss stock is the best in the Korean industry, as the games presented at G-Star last month […]
Final Fantasy XVI, Final Fantasy VII Remake, and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth are all timed PlayStation exclusives, but they may never make it to Xbox, as exclusivity for Square Enix titles is apparently going to get worse in the future. On the ResetERA forums, Head on the Block, who was previously known as I'm a Hero Too and provided correct information regarding a variety of Japanese titles, recently commented on the PlayStation, and Square Enix exclusivity deals, saying they are about to get much, much worse. While it is unlikely the insider may be referring to a possible acquisition of […]
Additional PS5 Pro specs and details might have surfaced online, including a reveal date of Sony's rumored powered-up PS5 console. We've reported on the PS5 Pro model on more than one occasion. As covered back in May of this year, a Pro console is said to be 100% in development at Sony. More recently, we reported on a rumor that the console will be powered by a custom eight--core Zen 2 CPU, possible double Tempest Engine performance, two shader engines, and more. Interestingly, the first rumor was part of a larger rumor from leaker Tom Henderson, who also claimed that […]
The current-generation iPad Air has a display size of 10.9 inches, and according to the latest reports, Apple is expected to launch a 12.9-inch model soon, making it the same size as the iPad Pro. Now, according to a display analyst, shipments of this panel will start later this month, hinting at a ‘sooner than expected’ launch. Super-sized iPad Air will feature aesthetic and specification differences to prevent confusion between the bigger iPad Pro Apple has already been reported to be preparing a bigger version of the iPad Air, with Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC) founder and CEO Ross Young […]
Apple took a different approach earlier this year when, instead of announcing the base M3, it unveiled three different SoCs, all based on TSMC’s advanced 3nm process. However, given the company’s previous launches, we expect an M3 Ultra, which will likely be found in the new Mac Studio and Mac Pro. Unfortunately, according to the latest report, both powerful machines are not expected to launch until the end of 2024, and there is also a possibility that they will be further delayed. Updated Mac Studio and Mac Pro launch may be extended to 2025, with early information stating that the […]
Current-generation chipsets, such as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, support on-device AI capabilities, and successive SoCs will expand on those feature sets. However, there is plenty of room for improvement in the specifications category, and on-device AI has demanding storage and RAM requirements. However, one research firm argues that due to the lack of compelling content that AI can create at this time, it makes less sense for Samsung and Apple to integrate a high RAM count on the Galaxy S24 and iPhone 16, not to mention the rising semiconductor prices. Future iPhones and Android handsets will be required to […]
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will be Qualcomm’s first smartphone SoC to shift away from the traditional CPU designs, with the company now switching to custom Oryon cores to take the fight directly to Apple. The San Diego firm is now rumored to adopt the same CPU cluster as MediaTek’s Dimensity 9300, meaning that we might no longer see low-power cores present on the upcoming silicon. Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 codenamed ‘Sun,’ tipster states that SoC will adopt a 2 + 6 CPU cluster It has been known for a while that both the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 and Dimensity […]
A ton of drama unfolded in the technology sector recently, with OpenAI, the hottest startup at this time, had its CEO, Sam Altman, abruptly fired, then reinstated a few days after. Following the Chief Executive’s removal, several OpenAI employees revolted, threatening to join Microsoft if OpenAI’s board remained firm on their decision, but according to the latest report, it was actually a bluff to force the firm to bring back Altman. As it turned out, most OpenAI employees did not want to work for Microsoft, as it would have resulted in the loss of significant perks and other reasons. A […]
GTA 6 is likely to get delayed and won't be released globally until closer to the end of 2025. At least, that's what analysts at the Bank of America believe based on Rockstar's track record when it comes to actually launching games after mentioning an initial release frame in debut trailers. Additionally, the analysts have said that the game's launch trailer from earlier this week didn't include enough elements that convinced them that GTA 6 is well into an alpha testing phase. In addition, the trailer didn't mention the release of a PC version either. Apparently, following the release of […]
A known GTA outlet has taken to X to tease a "big surprise" related to GTA 6 for later today. This 'news' comes from outlet GTABase.com, who wrote the following on X some hours ago.

The "surprise" that the outlet has teased could be related to today's The Game Awards event, but the post reads "in a few hours", and was made around five hours […]
The development of Metroid Prime 4 is almost complete, and it's only one specific issue that is holding the game from release, according to rumors circulating online. According to PapaGenos, as reported on the Gaming Leaks and Rumors subreddit, the development of the fourth entry in the series is basically done and has been for a good while. What's delaying the game is the quality of the cutscenes, which are said to be really bad. Additionally, the game is still targeting a release on the original Nintendo Switch, suggesting its release may not be too far off in the future, […]
