The M5 Pro and M5 Max announcement was accompanied by some changes in the way Apple categorizes its CPU cores. With the company introducing the term ‘super’ to the lineup, perhaps it was a hint that its Fusion Architecture allowed it to develop even more capable custom cores without compromising on efficiency. Sadly, this isn’t the case, because the M5’s performance cores have also been renamed to ‘super cores,’ concluding that the M5 Pro and M5 Max won’t be clocked any higher, removing any advantage that we thought was present because we fell victim to Apple’s clever marketing. The super cores […]

The introduction of the new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro lineup was accompanied by a pleasant surprise, as Apple has raised the minimum storage for all M5 and M5 Pro models. With these portable Macs now shipping with a 1TB SSD, buyers who were previously running into low internal memory warnings and had to resort to clever workarounds, such as using cloud storage, can finally breathe a sigh of relief. However, this upgrade isn't free, but the price is less aggressive compared to Apple's previous business practices. The base storage upgrade won't come free for M5 and M5 MacBook Pro models, as Apple […]

We have discussed some key differences below, allowing you to make a better decision on whether you should save $200 or spend it. Display and other features The iPhone 17e sticks with the same 6.1-inch notched display as the iPhone 16e, with […]

Apple made the iPhone 16e a highly attractive proposition for the masses wanting to step into the company’s hardware and software ecosystem by offering a $599 package that boasted the best battery life for any 6.1-inch iPhone launched at the time. Just comparing the iPhone 17e in pure endurance, the latest comparison shows that Apple might have ignored this bit about its latest release, making it the worst-performing model from the current-generation lineup. Even the iPhone Air, which wasn’t known for its battery prowess, ends up with better statistics than the iPhone 17e Unless the specifications bump for the same $599 price as […]

Apple has taken the wraps off the iPhone 17e, and the first thing we did was dive into the specifications page of the iPhone 16e’s successor to find out if the A19 shared some similarities with the same silicon found in the base iPhone 17. It turns out that there’s just one difference, and it is the same one present in the iPhone 16e and the base iPhone 16. Like before, the iPhone 17e features a binned A19 with fewer GPU cores than the silicon running in the iPhone 17 Scrolling through the ‘Tech Specs’ section of the iPhone 17e, we […]

Samsung sticking with the same 5,000mAh battery on the Galaxy S26 Ultra as the company’s previous flagships would have made buyers livid, as they likely had the impression that the company was taking an ultra-conservative approach while its rivals were advancing with high-capacity silicon-carbon batteries. However, little did they know that Samsung’s latest and greatest has incredible endurance, with a battery drain test showing that the device can hold out quite well against the competition. Surprisingly, the iPhone 17 Pro Max meets its match as the Galaxy S26 Ultra manages to successfully outlast its smartphone rival The popular YouTuber Mrwhosetheboss […]

The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 were not initially paired with a dedicated 5G modem announcement, but that changed with Qualcomm’s latest unveiling today during MWC 2026, as the company has officially announced the Qualcomm X105. As expected, the top-end baseband silicon promises faster downlink and uplink speeds, but more importantly, it consumes less power and has become smarter than previous iterations. Here are more details you might be interested in. The Qualcomm X105 is labeled as the industry’s first ‘Release 19-capable’ modem and supports 5G satellite connectivity Starting with the specifications, the Qualcomm […]

The SSD pricing situation has gotten a whole lot worse ever since the DRAM shortage kicked in, and when you see high-performance consumer solid-state drives in the 2TB capacity available for upwards of $300 and sometimes even reaching $400, that’s when you know that things are spiraling out of control. Fortunately, there are some hidden gems listed on places like Amazon, such as the Crucial P310, with the 2TB capacity and heatsink version going for $213.99. Comparing the price to others, this is probably the most affordable SSD in the aforementioned capacity. Faster speeds mean that the Crucial P310 can […]

Video stabilization on the Galaxy S26 Ultra received an unworldly upgrade because Samsung’s latest flagship’s Horizon Lock was demonstrated by popular YouTuber MKBHD of minimizing camera shake regardless of how the device was being moved around. Of course, some content creators aren’t satisfied with these trivial tests and want to move into overdrive mode. A different YouTuber taped a Galaxy S26 Ultra to a drill machine, which spun several revolutions per minute to see the Horizon Lock’s limitations, and we were genuinely surprised by the results. Horizon Lock does produce jittery footage, but it is nowhere close to what Galaxy S26 […]

Apple appears to have finally caved as it is bringing touchscreen support to its OLED M6 MacBook Pro range, scheduled to launch in either late 2026 or early 2027. For years, the Cupertino firm held its hand from adding this feature because the motivation behind this decision was simple. A touchscreen added to MacBooks would cannibalize iPad sales, which is why, according to the latest report, Apple isn’t going to offer a macOS and iPadOS software hybrid on the M6 MacBook Pro, instead sticking with a different approach with its upcoming hardware. Touch capabilities added to the OLED M6 MacBook Pro will […]

The month of March is expected to witness a bevy of product launches, with the possibility that the low-cost MacBook will also be unveiled during this week. Perhaps one of the most attractive combinations of this portable Mac will be its unibody aluminum chassis paired with some vibrant colors, with Apple reportedly believing that the machine will flaunt incredible value. In fact, the company is filled with confidence to the point that it believes that customers who don’t own computers will proceed with a purchase. Windows and Chromebook owners are also expected to gravitate to the low-cost MacBook, boosting Apple’s sales […]

AAA games like Resident Evil Requiem are pushing a future where powerful GPUs will have their graphics prowess stripped because they are equipped with 12GB of VRAM. Also, the DRAM shortage means that if you want to build your own gaming PC, you will run into budget constraints because of how expensive memory and storage have become. Fortunately, there is a ray of hope in the form of the Skytech Gaming Azure 3, which not only pairs the incredibly fast AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D but also NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5060 Ti with 16GB of framebuffer to ensure that you experience uninterrupted performance.

The current trajectory for Android flagship chipsets is a volatile path where companies like Qualcomm are focused more on boosting raw performance than paying attention to efficiency metrics. While we can understand the objective of obtaining bragging rights over Apple, these accolades will likely be limited to benchmarks. In short, the real-world experience of smartphones equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro could be heavily compromised as Qualcomm targets higher clocks. Based on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5’s TDP, its successor could reach as high as 30W if things are controlled quickly. Higher clock speeds target and the […]

The Tensor G5 was a missed opportunity for Google because it was the company’s first chipset to be mass produced by TSMC, and it still managed to be slower than a near-six-year-old A14 Bionic found in the iPhone 12 Pro Max. Normally, we’d forgive the Mountain View giant’s mistakes, but according to the latest leak, history could repeat itself, as a new Tensor G6 leak suggests it will likely share its predecessor’s disappointing attributes, meaning that the Pixel 11 launch could once more be an entire generation behind its rivals.
