iPhone 18 Camera Upgrade May Include A Variable Aperture For The Primary Unit, With Apple Reportedly Obtaining These Parts From A Different Supplier

Apple finally included a telephoto lens in its iPhone 15 Pro Max last year, with the upgrade extended to the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. This is just one of the many examples of how the Cupertino firm adopts various standards much later than the competition, likely because it wants to offer the best configuration to customers. One other technology that the company is said to bring for the iPhone 18 that rivals like Samsung introduced years ago is variable aperture for the main camera, and according to one analyst, another supplier will provide these parts. Sunny […]

Apple’s M4 Running In The Redesigned Mac mini Is Marginally Faster Than The Same SoC Running In The MacBook Pro In The Premiere Pro...

The use of TSMC’s second-generation 3nm process for the M4 series has made Apple’s latest chipsets more thermally efficient, but that does not mean that a capable cooling solution should be ignored from the rest of the hardware configuration. In fact, depending on how robust that solution is, we can actually get more performance from the M4, as demonstrated in the latest Premiere Pro 4K Export test, where the redesigned Mac mini is faster than Apple’s updated 14-inch MacBook Pro. However, one other hardware ends up taking the crown, and we will discuss why this is happening. The 24-inch M4 […]

Helldivers 2 Beat Final Fantasy VII Rebirth in February, is Sony’s 7th Highest Launch Ever

The former NPD Group (now named “Circana”) has released its full North American sales data for February, and it seems like it was a pretty solid month for the industry. Players spent $4.7 billion on games, additional content, and hardware in February, up 2 percent year-on-year.

Tekken 8 Cost Three Times More To Develop Than T7; Development Costs Are Ten Times Higher Than They Were in the 90s

Tekken 8 costed to develop almost three times more than its predecessor, and development costs have been skyrocketing for a while, according to series creator Katsuhiro Harada.

Like every modern fighting game, Tekken 8 comes with an online mode that allows players to put their skills to the test against other players.
