Daily Tech News & Insights, Every Weekday.
Good morning, tech folks!
Today’s lineup kicks off with a story that’s raising eyebrows in the Mac community: a $2,000 M5 MacBook Pro developing hinge creaks just two weeks after purchase and Apple reportedly calling it “normal.”
Meanwhile, MediaTek has unveiled a powerful new automotive chip, Google has quietly bridged the long-standing gap between Quick Share and AirDrop, Amazfit has expanded its rugged smartwatch lineup, and Meta is pushing the boundaries of 3D world generation with a new AI tool.
Here’s what’s inside today’s edition:
$2,000 M5 MacBook Pro hinge starts creaking after 14 days, Apple says it’s normal
MediaTek launches Dimensity P1 Ultra with advanced AI and ray-tracing GPU
Google makes Quick Share work seamlessly with AirDrop without Apple’s help
Amazfit T-Rex 3 Pro 44mm launches in Tactical Black
Meta’s new WorldGen AI creates game-ready 3D worlds in minutes
Let’s get started.
Imagine dropping two grand on a brand-new MacBook Pro with Apple’s shiny new M5 chip, only to have the thing creak every time you open the lid or rest your palms on it.
That’s the situation one Redditor says he’s stuck with — and his attempts to get Apple to fix or replace it have only made him more frustrated. The user, noss616, says the creaking started only two weeks after buying a 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro.
Read on to find out.
 MediaTek has officially released its latest automotive cockpit processor, the Dimensity Cockpit P1 Ultra. Built on an advanced 4nm manufacturing process, the chip prioritizes high performance, robust AI capabilities, and enhanced in-car entertainment features. MediaTek says the first car models utilizing this chip will be launched soon. The P1 Ultra comes with a powerful 8-core CPU that delivers up to 175K DMIPS of computing power. For graphics, MediaTek has added a hardware-level ray-tracing. |  Google‘s Quick Share file-transfer feature now works with Apple’s AirDrop. For anyone who lives in a mixed Android–iPhone household, this is the kind of fix people have been begging for for years. Sending a simple photo or video between devices has always felt way harder than it should — a daily reminder of the two ecosystems’ long-running cold war. The announcement landed without the usual buildup or joint statements. In fact, Apple hasn’t said a word. |
 Amazfit has launched a new Tactical Black version of the T-Rex 3 Pro 44 mm smartwatch in the US. The same color was released in China earlier this month as Onyx Black, and listings on Amazfit’s European stores show it will arrive in Europe soon. The Tactical Black model keeps the same features as the existing 44 mm and 48 mm T-Rex 3 Pro versions. It includes the integrated dual color flashlight built into the frame, which remains one of the key upgrades over the regular T-Rex 3. |  Meta has introduced a new research-stage tool called WorldGen that can create fully interactive 3D environments from a single line of text. The system can generate immersive, navigable virtual scenes in around five minutes. Meta said the content can be exported directly to popular game engines like Unity and Unreal without any conversion. WorldGen combines several AI techniques, including procedural logic, diffusion-based 3D generation, and object-oriented scene decomposition. |
