The Galaxy S22 series will debut Samsung's highly awaited Exynos 2200 and its AMD mRDNA GPU. Early GPU benchmarks of the SoC running on beta drivers have now surfaced, and show a huge advantage over Apple A14 Bionic.

It has been claimed that although the upcoming Apple MacBook Pro 14 will obviously be smaller than the MacBook Pro 16 it will still offer the same level of performance as the larger laptop thanks to the Apple M1X SoC. However, this performance comes at a price, with the M1X MacBook Pro 14 likely costing much more than a MacBook Pro 13.

Apple is said to have tested Touch ID for the iPhone 13 range, but has dropped it ahead of its launch. Apple is known to have been developing under-display Touch ID tech for some time, but its reasons for scuttling the feature for this generation aren’t clear.

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has provided more clues about the next-generation Mac mini. Apparently, the M1X-equipped mini-PC has not been delayed, after all.

Samsung and Apple have been known to sneak-diss each other regularly as befitting of their rivalry. Samsung's latest attempt may be considered by some to be a low blow, however, with the company appearing to make a reference to late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs in a theme description.

The iPad Mini 6 is expected to launch this fall and a new leak has revealed some important features of the cheaper Apple tablet. Particularly notable on the spec sheet are a Type-C port and an A14 Bionic beneath the hood.

An alleged Apple iPhone 13 Pro or possible iPhone prototype has appeared in a couple of images now doing the rounds on social media. The supposed iPhone 13 Pro in the pictures is purportedly “rose gold” although it has more of a purple or "dark bronze" hue to it in the images. The massive camera bump has seemingly ruled out the device being an iPhone 12 Pro.

Apple is reportedly exploring the possibility of manufacturing iPad chassis from titan alloy instead of aluminum, which could greatly improve the tablet's lackluster rigidity and therefore rectify one of its most glaring weaknesses.

According to the document that was attached to Job's email, Apple worked on an even smaller iPhone in 2010. These intriguing plans for an iPhone nano have not materialized in the almost ten years since the passing of the tech icon.

The upcoming iPad mini 6 has shown itself again, this time in an aluminium mockup. The tablet is expected to feature uniform and slim bezels, Touch ID within its power button and strangely-placed volume buttons.

The release of internal information about upcoming products has been an ongoing issue for many tech companies, which is why last year Apple took drastic measures to finally identify disingenuous employees in its own ranks.

Chargeasap has launched successors to its super-charged Flash power bank via Indiegogo. The OEM asserts that the new Pro series incorporates its forebear's best attributes, a 100W USB-C Power Delivery (USB-PD) 3.0 output suitable for MacBook Pros included, albeit with upgrades such as more type-C ports and a very Apple-specific variant this time around

These gorgeous new concept renders may offer the best look yet at Apple's upcoming generation of smartphones. Furthermore, the purported naming scheme of the new colors also appears to be quite authentic and believable.

The unofficial concept renders confirm previous rumors which predicted that Apple's new smartwatch would receive a drastic redesign. The purported boxy appearance is quite plausible since it is reminiscent of the latest generation of iPhones.

The expected Apple M1X Mac Mini has apparently been delayed. There were rumors that the revitalized compact desktop PC would be launched alongside the M1X MacBook Pro 14 and MacBook Pro 16 at an event in October. However, a leaker has now asserted that there will likely be a much longer wait for the M1X Mac Mini.

A release date for the M1X MacBook Pro laptops and tidbits about the iPhone 13, Apple Watch Series 7, AirPods 3, iPad mini 6, and ninth-generation iPad have been offered up in Mark Gurman’s latest newsletter. He predicts that Apple will hold multiple virtual events to cover all the upcoming product launches.

A patent that surfaced recently shows a MacBook with a new input device, namely the Apple Pencil. The images that accompany this patent show the pencil docked within the keyboard, and the Touch Bar as we know it will be gone. A much smaller one will be used, most likely in the next MacBook Pro.

Supply chain sources have provided more details about TSMC's roadmap for future nodes. Apparently, TSMC hopes to start mass-producing its 3 nm node starting next year, and Apple will be its first customer to benefit.

According to new supply chain information, Apple has started mass producing its next MacBook Pros, presumed to be new 14-inch and 16-inch models. Apparently, the company will produce over 10 million units before the end of the year, which should all feature M1X SoCs and mini LED displays.

While Samsung recorded a 7 percent drop over last year's second quarter, Xiaomi managed to achieve a solid climb of over 67 percent in the European market.

The Apple Watch Series 7 release date appears to be nearing as no less than six new model references have appeared in filings for the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC).

In order to make the Apple smartphone work with two physical nano-SIM cards, the device has to be opened and an internal component has to be replaced, which should be manageable for crafty users of an iPhone 12. But due to Apple's restrictive software, the results of the modification are not as spectacular as they could be.

iPhones that finally upgrade to 120Hz displays are thought to debut in 2021.

JP Morgan Chase is now reportedly solidly behind this idea, and believes it will contribute to a bumper year in revenue for Apple's mobile division.

Apple, along with Huawei, has usually been the first to showcase the latest silicon manufacturing process, but it appears TSMC's 3 nm may offer a deviation from that. Due to changes in typical production schedules, it looks likely that Qualcomm and MediaTek will have that honor next year, with Apple having to wait till the release of the A17 Bionic in 2023.

Apple has big plans for the iPhone 13 lineup, as the Cupertino-based tech giant has allegedly ordered more than 100 million A15 Bionic processors for the upcoming handsets. Compared to last year's 75 million iPhones, this figure translates to a solid production bump of over 33 percent.
