Apple's mobile satellite service (MSS) partner Globalstar has inked a C$1.1 billion contract with a Canadian company to produce more than fifty satellites. Apple took a stake in Globalstar last year as part of a deal to launch satellites that allow direct-to-cellular connectivity. Apple's deal came at a time when SpaceX had started to aggressively launch its Starlink direct-to-cell satellites and provide connectivity to users in partnership with T-Mobile. Globalstar's partnership is with the Canadian

Apple released its latest iOS 18.3 update in January, which came with a plethora of new additions, but the Siri experience remained the same.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra’s battery has been retained at 5,000mAh, a figure that has not budged an inch since several generations, indicating that nothing can change unless Samsung transitions from lithium-polymer batteries to an improved technology. As it so happens, the Korean conglomerate is reportedly reviewing a plan that will allow it to incorporate silicon-carbon cells into its upcoming Galaxy S26 series. This move, assuming the company follows it, will enable it to cross the 5,0

Tesla is on track for its fourth red trading day today, as Elon Musk's overt political role in the Trump administration 2.0 appears to be dampening sales in the EU, and the chatter around "commoditization of autonomous driving" is reducing the stock's sky-high premium. To make matters worse, Needham is out today with a new investment note that purports to introduce a healthy dose of skepticism around Tesla's growth levers. As mentioned above, Tesla's sales in the EU plunged 4

The Nintendo Switch 2 could already be in the hands of some users, according to some new online reports. As reported on Bluesky by Necro Felipe, the same user on the Xiaohongshu forums who shared the console's CAD model a few months back claims to have obtained a real Nintendo Switch 2 unit, most likely via illegal means. If this is true, we should expect more information on the system to surface online before the April 2nd Direct and the hands-on events that will be held worldwide in the

A multitude of tests performed on the Ryzen 7 9700X will prove that this processor will always be slower than the Ryzen 9 9900X and, understandably, will be stamped with a smaller price. After all, it features an 8-core and 16-thread configuration, along with less L3 cache than the 12-core, 24-thread cousin. However, Amazon has somehow made the significantly powerful desktop processor more affordable, as the Ryzen 9 990

The journey to reduce OpenAI’s reliance on NVIDIA and its GPUs starts with designing its custom AI chip, and the company behind ChatGPT has made some decent progress in this regard, assuming the latest report is to be believed. The artificial intelligence startup is said to be in the middle of finalizing the design of the silicon, with the completion said to take a few months. If this route has a minimum amount of potholes, OpenAI could send its in-house chip to TSMC for tape-out in the first
