Apple has yet to announce its M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pro models, but that doesn’t mean that the company will delay its redesigned versions sporting OLED upgrades and its first 2nm chipsets for this platform, the M6. According to the latest report, the new portable Macs are expected to arrive in Q4 2026, but the latest information states that the sole supplier of OLED panels, Samsung, has yet to initiate mass production of the core component. Previously, the Korean manufacturer was reported to be ahead of schedule with the display manufacturing, hinting that Apple would face little to […]

The only time that Samsung came close to replicating Apple’s Face ID technology on its Galaxy smartphones was with its iris scanner, which debuted on the Galaxy S8 lineup. Since then, the company has incorporated the ever-reliable fingerprint scanners on its devices, but the Galaxy S27 Ultra could offer something that’s a tier above Face ID. The latest report mentions the use of Polar ID, which leverages polarized light instead of 3D depth mapping for facial recognition. The use of this technology also removes one glaring obstacle: the need for a cutout to accommodate the necessary components. Polar ID on […]

The M6 chipset for the redesigned OLED MacBook Pro has been reported to arrive sooner than expected, suggesting that Apple may not treat it to TSMC’s best manufacturing process yet, the 2nm N2P node. Instead, a new report states that the company will stick with the N2 variant that’s expected to be utilized for the A20 and A20 Pro, with the technological gap likely being filled with Apple’s vast knowledge of chipset design. There are small differences between TSMC’s N2 and N2P nodes, and it is possible that the M6 will not transition to the newer process to save on wafer […]

The iPhone Fold could introduce a new clamshell form factor from Apple, as the company is said to expand its product portfolio in this category and take on its biggest rival, Samsung, in the process. The device in question is the iPhone Flip, and though this isn’t its official name, the technology giant is exploring a release in the near future. However, its materialization strongly depends on how successful its first foldable flagship is when it arrives later this year alongside the top-end iPhone 18 models. The iPhone Flip will deliver significantly less utility than the iPhone Fold, but the latter’s launch can […]

There is no concrete launch information surrounding the M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pro models other than an announcement happening in the first half of 2026. Even now, a new report doesn’t mention which month customers should prepare their wallets, but a useful tidbit added is that new chipsets and portable Macs are expected to launch alongside Apple’s latest software update, macOS 26.3. Based on an earlier rumor, macOS 26.3 could launch in March, as that’s the month when Apple could officially unveil its new M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pro models Despite Weibo tipster Fixed-focus digital cameras commenting […]

Apple has never been in favor of adding exceptionally large batteries to its iPhones, but the wave of competitors shipping their devices with silicon-carbon cells likely forced the company’s hand to incorporate a 5,088mAh unit in the iPhone 17 Pro Max. The same approach is expected to be applied to the iPhone Fold, with a tipster claiming that the latter will ship with a 5,500+mAh battery, making it the largest that Apple has ever added to its smartphone family. The iPhone Fold has been reported to resemble two iPhone Air units placed next to each other, with the design approach […]

The month of January is at its end, and those eagerly waiting for the M5 Pro and M5 Max launches have so far been disappointed that Apple hasn’t announced any high-end chipset for the latest generation. Even though a previous report mentioned that we should expect the new SoCs in the first half of 2026, the latest rumor claims that we won’t have to wait too long, as the M5 Pro and M5 Max could arrive in the month of March. Additionally, Apple is said to switch the packaging of its new silicon to Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SoIC), which, […]

Apple, Qualcomm, and MediaTek are all rumored to prepare their first 2nm chipsets this year, with the iPhone maker said to stick with TSMC’s N2 node, whereas its competitors have been mentioned to transition to the slightly improved N2P process to have a small performance edge while also ensuring that there are adequate wafer shipments for the two companies. Previously, Apple had a time advantage of a few weeks when it unveiled the iPhone 17 series, but according to the latest rumor, all three companies are going to be ‘neck in neck’ as far as launch timelines go. With this advantage no […]
