A robust and reliable supply chain doesn’t make Apple immune to DRAM shortages, which is why the company’s executives were previously reported to have booked long-term hotel stays in South Korea in an effort to come to terms with Samsung to secure adequate supply. While the initial shipment for LPDDR5X memory is secure, it comes at a literal cost, as Apple paid the manufacturer far more than Samsung’s intended goal of charging a 60 percent premium. Fortunately, a trillion-dollar entity should have little problem in paying the higher sum, but there’s no confirmation that these cost increases will trickle down to […]

The M5 Pro and M5 Max are expected to arrive next month, but if you cannot muster the patience for the more powerful 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models , or if you think that you have little use for such expensive configurations, we have just the deal for you. The M5 MacBook Pro continues to be an exceptional performer in multiple areas, and given that manufacturers have little choice but to charge premiums for increased storage and memory, Apple and Amazon have gone in the opposite direction, with the more capable 24GB unified RAM and 512GB SSD option going for […]

Leaked marketing materials revealed that the Galaxy S26 Ultra isn’t going to increase the battery capacity compared to the Galaxy S25 Ultra and will stick to the same 5,000mAh limit that it has had for the past six years.

However, there’s an entirely new issue that needs to be tackled and quickly: gaming. A new video showing some Cronos: The New Dawn gameplay on various Macs, and after a while, […]

Samsung has largely remained conservative over the camera specifications of its premium smartphones, choosing to utilize the same sensors while focusing heavily on computational improvements. This approach can work for a while, but only if competitors choose not to push forward with their own upgrades, which is why, on paper, the Galaxy S26 Ultra appears more like a mid-ranger when comparing the individual physical camera sizes to the competition. The Vivo X300 Ultra embarrasses the Galaxy S26 Ultra with larger physical cameras, with the Samsung flagship’s only advantage being an additional sensor To recap, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected […]

The biggest hindrance to smartphone chipsets unlocking their potential is heat dissipation, and while TSMC’s 2nm process is expected to introduce some efficiency improvements, the ever-growing complexity and size of these SoCs mean that newer packaging needs to be adopted to break through the performance ceiling. One tipster notes that the industry has been discussing companies like TSMC and Huawei exploring 3D packaging for the smartphone category, but the reality is that this technology offers far too many drawbacks for it to be adopted for this specific sector. Instead, these firms appear to focus solely on improving manufacturing processes. Apple […]
