Intel will soon make chips for Apple, including for iPhones, according to new rumor

Apple used to employ Intel chips in its laptops and desktops, but moved away from them once the in-house designed M-series chips arrived. Now it seems like the company is on the verge of reaching a new deal with Intel, but this will be different. Intel will just be making chips for Apple - it won't be involved in the design phase at all. Basically, Apple wants to not depend entirely on TSMC for chip fabrication, and Intel is the way to do that. GF Securities analyst Jeff Pu says he and his colleagues now expect a deal between Intel and Apple to be reached for at least some non-Pro...

The European Commission fines X $140 million for its deceptive blue checkmark

The European Commission (EC) has today reached a verdict on an investigation of X that started in 2024. The EC has fined the social network €120 million (approximately $140 million), finding that its blue checkmark was deceptive since it implies a user who has it is verified, but anyone can pay to obtain this status "without the company meaningfully verifying who is behind the account". This violates the obligation, under the EU's Digital Services Act (DSA), for online platforms to "prohibit deceptive design practices on their services". The fine also covers X's advertisement...

OnePlus 15R's battery capacity officially revealed

OnePlus is unveiling the 15R on December 17 along with the Pad Go 2 and Watch Lite. Ahead of that, today the company has officially confirmed the 15R's battery capacity - it's 7,400 mAh, the largest ever in a OnePlus phone sold outside of China (the recently announced Ace 6T holds the record inside of China with its 8,300 mAh cell).

Samsung now said to be using the Exynos 2600 in the Galaxy S26 series in just one market

To Exynos or not to Exynos, that is the question for Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S26 series. And, additionally, where to Exynos? We've heard tons of reports already saying many different things - either only the S26 and S26+ will get the soon to be revealed Exynos 2600 SoC, or maybe the Ultra too, but only in some regions. Today a new rumor muddies the waters even more, claiming that all three S26 models will indeed use the Exynos 2600, but only in one market: Korea. We have to say we're very skeptical about this claim, since Samsung has in the past also brought Exynos S-series devices to...

Google is working on supporting new gestures on its Pixel Watches

Google is now working on supporting more gestures on its Pixel Watches, as revealed today through a teardown of the newest version of the Pixel Watch app. The company will at some point in the future add support for double pinch, which will be used to answer calls, interact with notifications, and take photos.

While it's clear that Google is working on these features already, it's anyone's guess when they...

Instagram may be preparing a limit of three hashtags per post

Instagram is doing something weird with hashtags. More and more people are starting to get a notice when they try to add more than three hashtags to a post. That notice basically says you can only use three hashtags per post. This new limit hasn't been officially announced by Instagram, and not everyone seems to have it yet, so it's either a new 'feature' that's coming soon and is in the process of being slowly implemented for all accounts on the service, or it's just a test that's running for a limited number of users only, and depending on what results the company is looking for, it may...

The OnePlus 15 golder run came to an end in week 48, the champion from the past four editions of the chart sinking all the way to fourth place.

Weekly poll: will you buy a Poco F8 Pro or a Poco F8 Ultra?

Half a year after the launch of the successful F7 series, the Poco brand releases two F8 models. They bring some serious upgrades, some fun designs and, unfortunately, a price hike. The Poco F8 Ultra is €80/€100 more expensive than the F7 Ultra for the 256GB and 512GB models, respectively. At least that is if you go by MSRP – the early bird price knocks the price down by €180/€200. Poco F8 Ultra This generation of Ultra goes for a larger screen at the cost of resolution – the F8 Ultra has a 6.9” 1200p+ display (120Hz OLED with 12-bit Dolby Vision), up from 6.67” 1440p+ (also...

Weekly poll results: the Realme GT 8 Pro needs a price cut

The Realme GT 8 Pro is having some identity issues – is it a flagship or a flagship killer? Its €1,100 price tag says the former, its hardware says the latter. And so, the conclusion from last week’s poll is pretty simple – the GT 8 Pro needs a price cut. The phone’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and massive 7,000mAh battery certainly impressed us in our review. And the 6.79” OLED display is a sharp, high-quality 1440p+ 144Hz panel with Dolby Vision. But it’s not an LTPO panel. Also, the USB-C port is only USB 2.0. Video stabilization could have been better. The same goes for the ultra-wide and...

OnePlus 15 finally clears the FCC, US launch might be very near

The OnePlus 15 made its Chinese debut in October and then went global earlier this month. However, for the US market in particular, there was a hurdle. While the company submitted all the necessary documentation to the US FCC for certification of the device as usual, the US government shutdown prevented the agency from actually issuing its certification of the phone, despite the testing having been completed. [#InlinePriceWidget,14206,1#] This has resulted in a delay in the OnePlus 15's launch in the US, where it still isn't available. However, there's some very good news today, as its...

Oppo Find N6 might be launching in India

Oppo is already rumored to be working on the Find N6, its next foldable smartphone and the successor to the Find N5, which was released in February.

iPhone Air’s poor sales have discouraged Chinese makers from slim phones

The iPhone Air is not selling particularly well and that may have discouraged at least three rival brands from attempting their own takes on the slim and light form factor. A new report from DigiTimes suggests that several Chinese brands, including Xiaomi, Oppo, and vivo have reportedly cancelled their plans to launch ultra slim phones meant to compete with the iPhone Air. According to the new report, Apple’s key suppliers, Foxconn, have reduced their iPhone production lines, and Luxshare has completely halted its iPhone production. We recently saw the Air's designer leave the...

Report: OmniVision unveils its own high-end 200MP sensor, the OVB0D

OmniVision also has a new high-end 200MP camera sensor for upcoming camera flagships, to rival the freshly announced Sony LYTIA 901. According to a report in Korean media, the OmniVision OVB0D is a 200MP 1/1.1-inch imager, so slightly larger, than the 1/1.12-inch LYTIA 901. The sensor features a Bayer filter, but with a different dual on-chip re-mosaic structure to the LYTIA's more complex QQBC. Technically, and we're hypothesizing a bit, due to the lack of proper information, Sony's sensor could have a slight edge in detail, because of its more advanced Quad-Quad Bayer Coding...

Black Friday deals spotlight: the Google Pixel 10 series is up to $300 off

While iPhones and Galaxys are the most popular options, there are alternatives. Google’s Pixel series is entering a new era with a new chipset foundry and more capable camera hardware. The Google Pixel 10 Pro XL is the top dog, unless you count the pricey Fold model (which we featured in a previous post). It has a 6.8” LTPO 1344p+ display and a 5,200mAh battery. Unfortunately, the battery doesn’t last as long as it should – it only achieved a 12:29h Active Use score. The chief culprit for that is probably the underperforming Tensor G5. The Pixel UI feels smooth and the chip is...

Weekly poll: the Realme GT 8 Pro is here, are you getting one?

Realme’s GT series has emerged as one of the best value-for-money flagships in recent years – challenging even OnePlus, which held that title for a long time.

Weekly poll results: OnePlus 15 may be in trouble as people want to go back to the OnePlus 13 days

Technological progress is irreversible – or is it? The OnePlus 15 has found itself in the midst of a controversy because several of its components are seen as downgrades compared to the OnePlus 13. Just compare the reception in the OnePlus 13 poll from last year - the hype was tangible. The screen? 1272p+ instead of 1440p+. The camera? Smaller sensors in the main (1/1.56” vs. 1/1.43”) and the telephoto module (1/2.76” vs. 1/1.95”). The price? Basically the same. And that is the central point of the argument – the OnePlus 15 costs about as much as a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra right...
