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 […]

Apple has plans to start mass producing various wireless chips, and eventually, all of them will be arranged in a single package, saving considerable internal space while improving power efficiency. Unfortunately, that plan appears to be a distant dream because the technology giant’s custom Bluetooth and Wi-Fi chips were supposed to arrive in 2025. Sadly, just like the problems encountered with its in-house 5G modem, Apple’s troubles continue in this regard too. With finalized custom Bluetooth and Wi-Fi chips, Apple will be able to sever its dependency on Broadcom and, eventually, Qualcomm Just like the A-series and M-series chips, the […]
NVIDIA's next-gen GeForce RTX 50 "Blackwell" GPUs are expected to utilize the latest TSMC process node while adopting the DisplayPort 2.1 standard. Next-Gen NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 GPUs Based On 3nm Blackwell Core Architecture, Support For DisplayPort 2.1 Standard Expected New revelations by Kopite7kimi reveal that NVIDIA is prepping its Blackwell GPUs which will be utilized by the GeForce RTX 50 "Gaming" lineup and are going to be built upon TSMC's 3nm process node. TSMC3 — kopite7kimi (@kopite7kimi) November 15, 2023 If we do a comparison between the N5 (4N Optimized 5nm variant for NVIDIA), the latest 3nm process technology […]
Following the 18 rating received earlier this week in Saudi Arabia, Dragon's Dogma 2 has been rated by the European equivalent, PEGI (Pan European Game Information). The rating is the same (18). It comes with warnings of violence and in-game purchases, with the latter suggesting there will be some form of microtransactions. More importantly, though, the PEGI website has listed the release date of Dragon's Dogma 2. According to the listing, the hotly anticipated action RPG sequel will be available starting on Friday, March 22, 2024. This doesn't really feel like a placeholder date, so we may have a proper […]
Grand Theft Auto 6 has yet to be officially revealed, but some dedicated fans put together an early map of the game based on the leaked clips that surfaced online, which suggests that it will be triple the size of the map featured in the previous entry in the series. The map, which was put together by the dedicated GTA Mapping community and shared on X/Twitter by Jason From Gta 6 2.0, was created by using the coordinates seen in the leaked clips to calculate the distance between them. Interestingly enough, going by the estimated measurements, the distance between Vice […]
A native The Last of Us 2 PS5 version has seemingly appeared on the PlayStation Network servers, suggesting that a release of the version is imminent. For quite some time, fans have been asking for a native version of The Last of Us Part 2 on PlayStation 5. To date, players are required to play the PS4 version of the game on Sony's console, albeit with performance enhancements. From the looks of it, however, Sony is now planning to release a native version of the game on PS5. As spotted on X by the usually-reliable PlayStation Game Size Twitter account […]
Apple has long sought to launch its in-house 5G modems for various products, starting with the iPhone, in an effort to reduce reliance on Qualcomm as it pushes towards a custom chip development strategy. Unfortunately, the California-based giant has faced more than its fair share of roadblocks, with the latest report stating that the company continues to encounter problems with its development, pushing the launch timeline to late 2025 or early 2026. Development of Apple’s in-house 5G modem is in its early stages, with problems such as performance, overheating, and others being frequently encountered One of the reasons why Apple […]
The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max might have been the first smartphones to feature Apple’s first 3nm chipset, the A17 Pro, but even that was insufficient to prevent overheating when playing intensive games or running any workload that would stress the SoC. This suggests that Apple did not focus on implementing an effective thermal solution, but with the iPhone 16, a new rumor claims that the company is working on a ‘graphene thermal system’ to control those temperatures. New rumor also states that the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max would feature a metal shell for […]
NVIDIA's next-gen GeForce RTX 50 "Blackwell" Gaming GPU flagship is expected to feature GDDR7 memory support, claims Kopite7kimi. Kopite7kimi's Recent Revelations Point Out To NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Gaming GPU Flagship Featuring GDDR7 Memory Support The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 series is expected to utilize the Blackwell Gaming GPU architecture though a bit different from the one coming to HPC and AI customers next year. Currently, there have been roadmaps that point out to a 2025 launch but some rumors suggest that late 2024 is when we might get to see the latest graphics lineup. This can be seen as […]
The Tensor G3 found in the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro has so far disappointed when compared to its competition, making it imperative for Google to switch over to a fully custom solution to rival Apple’s A-series and the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. Unfortunately, it will take some time for the rumored Tensor G5 to arrive, but according to the latest update, it will be mass produced on TSMC’s N3E process, the same one used to fabricate next-generation SoCs for Qualcomm and MediaTek. Tensor G4 may not utilize any TSMC node due to high costs; Google is likely […]
There were whispers that Apple would adopt the more advanced M14 OLED materials for the iPhone 15 lineup, giving all four models improved attributes when it came to panel technology. However, according to the latest rumor, the latest family features the M12 display, with the M14 expected to be adopted for two generations, starting with the iPhone 16 and ending with the iPhone 17. The M14 OLED technology is likely to be adopted for two generations as Apple wishes to save costs when it comes to the iPhone 16 and iPhone 17 In the latest rumor, Revegnus points out that […]
Apple intends to release more 3nm chipsets after the M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max, with the next version being the company’s most powerful, the M3 Ultra. Though a previous report stated that the desktop-based Apple Silicon has not gone into broader testing, it could feature up to an 80-core GPU, which is the highest number that the technology giant has ever used for its custom chipsets. Unfortunately, compared to the M2 Ultra, the GPU cores difference is not that much. Top-end M2 Ultra features a 76-core GPU; M3 Ultra may be a disappointing launch if the 80-core version is […]
Following the highly successful release of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 (labeled as the fastest-selling PlayStation first-party game ever), Insomniac is now busy working on Marvel's Wolverine. Originally announced during September 2021's PlayStation Showcase, the project's origins were explained with the following statement by Insomniac's Ryan Schneider (Head of Franchise Strategy & Studio Relations): Back when we were working on Marvel’s Spider-Man, there would be times where all of us—Insomniac, Sony Interactive Entertainment, and Marvel—would brainstorm together about the future beyond the web-slinger. And even in those early discussions, Wolverine continually came up as the character we’d be really stoked to work […]
