Apple’s Strict Requirements Of Delivering A Stellar AR Experience To A Pair Of Smart Glasses Is At Least Five Years Away
The large, bulky, and expensive mixed-reality headsets will eventually be replaced by a pair of smart glasses, and Apple intends to deliver the same experience while making the device comfortable to wear and less distracting to the surrounding people. To begin its quest to develop its pair of smart spectacles, the technology giant typically holds on-campus focus groups to understand consumers’ feelings about the current market. This approach was carried out with the AirPods, HomePod, and Apple Vision Pro, with the company now performing it again
Samsung’s Initial Target For Its First & Second-Generation 3nm GAA Process Was 70 Percent, But Newer Architecture Has Not Even Achieved One-Third Of That Goal
The 3nm GAA process might have beaten TSMC’s 3nm ‘N3B’ variant in the launch timeline, but it will matter little if Samsung cannot increase those yields where it makes sense for clients to place orders with the Korean giant. A rumor claims that the foundry had a respectable yield target for both its first and second-generation 3nm GAA node, which was 70 percent, but it has yet to reach that threshold, which would explain why Samsung has failed to attract new customers to
Apple’s Headset Business Can Become A $25 Billion Business, But Only If A Wide Range Of Products, Including Cheaper AR Glasses Tethered To An iPhone Will Launch
The lack of an affordable price and expanded app repository meant that the Apple Vision Pro would never be the ‘home run’ product, with the latest evidence being that the headset’s production is set to end this year. The company has reportedly hit a snag with its low-cost model, and where it was mentioned that the device would launch sometime in 2025, the production timeline has been delayed beyond 2027. Regardless, an update states that Apple can still turn its headset business
Super Micro Computer (SMCI) Reportedly Drops The Ball On A “Huge” Order For NVIDIA’s NVL72 GB200 Chips, Prompting A Taiwanese Company To Pick Up The Tab
Super Micro Computer (SMCI), a retailer of high-performance servers and liquid-cooled AI racks, is rapidly approaching the proverbial twilight zone as its legal woes mount and major customers start bailing on existing orders. We reported in early November that NVIDIA had allegedly begun redirecting its orders that were originally placed with Super Micro Computer to other, more stable suppliers. If confirmed, this would constitute a seminal moment as SMCI was, until recently, NVIDIA's third-largest customer. Now, it seems that Super
Here’s When Apple Will Release iOS 18.2 Update For iPhone With ChatGPT Integration For Siri
Apple Intelligence is the company's latest service for its users, which could be added to the company line of platforms that it charges for. However, the AI features are still young, and the company has a long way to go before calling it perfect. The company announced the platform at its WWDC event back in June, and the scale of the service was pretty big, but Apple Intelligence failed to make a mark at this stage. The company is gradually rolling out updates with new features, and iOS 1
Apple Might Scrap The Cheaper Vision Pro For Now, As Next Year’s Upgrade Is Set to Feature the Same Design and Price But With A Boosted M5 Chip
Apple's first generation of Vision Pro headset is a marvel of engineering, but its staggering price point makes it an iffy machine for many. Since it is the company's first iteration of the mixed reality headset, it failed to bring down the cost of production and components, which were transferred over to the end user in the form of a hefty price tag. It is now speculated that the company will launch the Vision Pro 2 headset in the latter half of 2026 or the first half of

SpaceX Might Attempt Starship Second Stage Tower Catch In 6 Months, Says Official
SpaceX's Starbase general manager, Kathy Leuders, has shared details about when her firm will catch the Starship second-stage rocket with the tower catch arms. SpaceX made history in October after it caught the Super Heavy booster for the first time with the launch tower. The achievement was remarkable, particularly since the booster catch was successful on its first attempt - an outcome many industry watchers had been skeptical of. The tower catch is key to Starship's goal of rapid re-usability, and the next step in
Apple Executives Explain Why The New Mac mini Has Its Power Button On The Bottom, While Also Mentioning That Users Do Not Have To Always Switch It Off
It took some clever engineering to reduce the footprint of the redesigned Mac mini while also equipping it with some incredibly powerful internals. Still critics will be quick to point fingers at Apple on certain decisions, such as moving the power button to the bottom of the chassis. While it can become an inconvenience to power the machine, two Apple executives explain why this position exists and why it is not a big deal for people who brought up the issue in the first place. Most Mac mini owners would never power off their device
