Apple’s entire iPhone 18 lineup has been reported to forego Qualcomm’s 5G modems in favor of the company’s C2 baseband chip, which was reportedly in development when the iPhone 16e launched last year. However, according to one analyst, the Cupertino firm is bringing in another wireless chip to the flagship series, and it will be the direct successor to the N1. Additionally, there are other changes expected, such as a smaller Dynamic Island, so let us discuss all details below. No improvements from the N2 wireless networking chip upgrade have been mentioned in the new report, but C2 5G modem could […]

Two banger games from Capcom are going to launch in a span of three months, starting with Resident Evil Requiem, which will arrive this month, followed by PRAGMATA, which is scheduled to release on April 24. While PC gamers have had the privilege of trying out the demo, which delivers a polished finish, you can begin preparing things in advance if you’re a console owner by pre-ordering the game on Amazon. Best of all, the listings are available for the PS5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch 2. PRAGMATA offers a unique sci-fi experience, with the initial gameplay bringing in […]

The battery sizes in the latest iPhones are slowly increasing in capacity, with the eSIM version of the iPhone 17 Pro Max getting treated to the biggest cell at 5,088mAh. The iPhone 18 Pro Max is expected to cross this ceiling, and for the longest time, it was assumed that Apple ran into space problems, preventing it from adding bigger batteries. However, that myth has been debunked thanks to the latest video, which shows an iPhone 11 Pro, which is almost seven years old, getting treated to a massive 12,000mAh battery swap. To remind you, the dated flagship shipped with a […]

Samsung and its next-generation chipset, the Exynos 2700, have started to get included in a lot of reports, hinting at its development under the Korean giant’s second-generation 2nm GAA process, also known as SF2P. Where the Exynos 2600 provided the necessary stepping-stones, its successor will take the reins and solidify Samsung’s position as a worthy player in the chipset space, but more importantly, the silicon’s arrival is expected to boost the firm financially too. According to the latest report, the company’s non-memory business will receive a nice bump with the Exynos 2700’s launch. The latest estimate claims that the Exynos 2700 […]

The M5 Pro and M5 Max are expected to be Apple’s first SoCs to offer separate CPU and GPU blocks, thanks to TSMC’s new ‘Small Outline Integrated Circuit’ packaging (SoIC), unlocking more possibilities on its portable Macs. From lowering manufacturing costs by improving yields to obtaining new performance levels, these are a few benefits that companies can witness by moving to a chiplet design, but if that’s the case, why has Qualcomm yet to adopt it? We’ve discussed some possibilities below, but we also believe that it will be necessary for the company to eventually make the transition. If bringing chipsets […]

Any consumer electronic that features DRAM will get expensive to the point that its affordability will be out of your range. Soon, 8GB RAM configurations will become common, but here’s something you don’t see every day. The Acer Aspire 14 AI, a 14-inch Windows 11 notebook that’s equipped with 16GB RAM and up to a 1TB SSD, is available for as low as $459.99. How? Well, Amazon is giving you an incredible opportunity to own a decent portable computer, but you’ll have to hurry because these deals don’t stay active for long. The Acer Aspire 14 AI is also marketed […]

Smartphones and PCs were going to be the obvious casualties of the DRAM shortage, but this global problem has also begun affecting routers, with the latest data revealing that companies mass producing networking equipment that don’t have a secure supply chain or strong negotiation power have been struck the hardest. With demand for memory increasing for AI server segments, both DRAM and NAND flash prices have jumped by more than 600 percent, meaning that if you want to upgrade your home or work network, you’d better upgrade fast. Around 20 percent of low-to-mid routers’ Bill Of Materials (BOM) accounts for […]

The Snapdragon X Elite could achieve decent gaming performance in AAA games, but it was clear that there was a ton of improvement required, with one of the biggest hurdles being compatibility and optimization. Fortunately, Qualcomm has addressed the majority of those problems with its Snapdragon X2 Elite, with an initial gaming performance comparison showing that the latest SoC records a massive difference in the framerate. Unfortunately, that’s when our praises end because the chipset has immense difficulty against Apple’s M5, which registered up to a 69 percent performance improvement over its newest rival. Against the Snapdragon X Elite, the Snapdragon X2 […]

Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event is scheduled to happen later this year, and just like on previous occasions, we will be greeted with three flagships: the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra. One concern heading into this year was whether the Korean giant would introduce any price hikes because of the DRAM shortage. According to the latest details presented below, we have our answer, and you’re not going to like it. Samsung is estimated to charge up to $113.2 more for its Galaxy S26 series, with the company unable to avoid the price hike Two storage models will be […]

The iPhone 17e is expected to be Apple’s first hardware release of 2026, and for those wondering about its launch, the successor to the iPhone 16e could be just around the corner, thanks to a reliable update, claiming that the inventory of Apple’s current-generation low-cost handset has ‘dried out.’ This should be sufficient evidence that the company is gearing up for the announcement of the newer model. M3 iPad Air is also witnessing shortages, implying the arrival of the M4 refresh The track record of Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman is top-notch, and while he might keep us in suspense regarding the M5 […]

Apple’s M2 MacBook Air offers decent hardware to those who require ample battery life and aren’t too worried about the lack of storage and memory upgrades available to them. However, there are always exceptions everywhere, and in light of the DRAM crisis, we’ll bear witness to some unorthodox examples of creative juices flowing on various social media channels. The latest mod involves a portable Mac owner who wasn’t going to pay the ludicrous premium for a solid-state drive, so he took some tape, an existing SATA SSD, and a USB-C dongle and attached all three things to the M2 MacBook […]

On paper, the Galaxy S26 Ultra specifications can be termed as boring, but instead of following what other companies are doing, such as incorporating high refresh rate displays and going for record-high brightness levels, Samsung is adding something that will actually be of use to the average buyer. According to one tipster, the privacy display called ‘Flex Magic Pixel’ is expected to arrive with the Korean giant’s top-end flagship, and it could end up becoming the device’s signature feature. Developers taking advantage of the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s privacy display can take the technology’s usefulness to another level, if implemented properly On […]
