Apple is known for its premium products that typically carry a premium price as well. But in a surprising twist, the brand could shake up the entry-level laptop segment with an affordable MacBook.
This isn’t simply a cheaper configuration; rather, Apple might be planning on launching a new laptop model that borrows the chip from the iPhone to help make it more approachable.
Read on to find out more.
 Huawei has officially launched its new AI inference framework, Unified Cache Manager (UCM), following earlier reports about the company’s plans to reduce reliance on high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips. As anticipated, UCM introduces a memory management solution aimed at accelerating large model inference. This tech is expected to help China circumvent chip sanctions while boosting system performance. |  The upcoming Android flagship chips are expected to launch in September. Qualcomm has already confirmed the launch of the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 during the Snapdragon Summit on September 23. Now, tipster Digital Chat Station says the new Dimensity 9500 will be announced on September 22, just one day before Qualcomm’s Snapdragon event. |
 The Galaxy S25 Ultra has built its reputation on impressive camera performance, but some One UI 8 Beta testers are seeing a strange issue when pointing it at the Moon. After the latest One UI 8 Beta 4 update, certain users have found their lunar shots coming out with a purple tint instead of the usual white or gray. Posts on X and the brand’s community forum say the problem shows up at multiple zoom levels — 10x, 20x, 30x, and even 100x. |  Samsung has launched the world’s first Micro RGB TV, a 115-inch display that marks a major leap in premium television technology. The new model features sub-100μm RGB LED backlights arranged with ultra-fine precision behind the panel, allowing independent control over each red, green, and blue unit. The Micro RGB TV improves color reproduction and contrast by using micro-scale LEDs instead of traditional backlighting. |
