The discounts on Apple’s latest M4 MacBook Air series were not as hefty during the release period, but as time passed, those who were patient knew that they would be in for a treat. On Amazon, you have been rewarded handsomely because some of these portable Macs can now be had for up to $165 off, making it the highest price cut to date, and exceeding the $150 amount that we reported about earlier. The aforementioned offer is still active, but it has
Arrow Lake die shot shows off the details of Intel's chiplet-based design
Die shots of Intel’s Arrow Lake architecture have been published, revealing Intel’s chiplet (tile) infused design in all of its glory.

The first photo exposes the full die of Intel’s desktop Core Ultra 200S series CPUs, with the compute tile on the upper left, the
AMD Reportedly Ditches Samsung Foundry as Its Partner; Rumored to Shift 4nm Orders To TSMC Arizona For EPYC Server CPUs
Samsung Foundry's troubles continue, as it is now reported that AMD has abandoned its 4nm orders with the firm, likely switching towards TSMC.
AMD Appears To Be Massively Inclined Towards TSMC's US Operations, Which Played a Role In Canceling the Deal With Samsung Foundry
Samsung has found it challenging to see adoption from the industry when it comes to process nodes, and despite offering a wide range of products with decent production capacities, the Korean giant hasn't managed to grab the market spotlight like its Taiwan counterpart
Apple’s Redesigned Mac mini Cannot Be Powered Through A USB-C Port, But One Person Shows That It Is Possible, Provided You Possess Some Skill
The M4 and the M4 Pro found in the redesigned Mac mini are efficient enough to help Apple reduce the footprint of its compact machine, but apparently, it is not enough reason for the company to change the way the computer receives its power. Where the company’s MacBook Pro and MacBook Air lineups can be charged through MagSafe and USB-C, the Mac mini requires a more conventional way of accepting wattage. However, one person has shown evidence that the computer can receive power through the USB-C

Apple wants to take control of the chips used in your iPhone: Here’s whats on the roadmap
In 2020, Apple announced the Mac transition to Apple Silicon. Replacing Intel was a large undertaking, but it proved successful. Apple was able to develop chips that were both faster and more efficient than the Intel processors they replaced, all in an under 3 year transition.
Now, Apple is trying to replace Qualcomm, starting off with the new C1 modem in the brand new iPhone 16e, it’s the first step in a much larger journey. In the end, Apple wants all
Apple Intentially Kept Its C1 Modem’s Capabilities Under Wraps Because It Was Found In A Less Premium iPhone; CEO Tim Cook Says That The Company ‘Can Produce Better Products’
The C1 powering the iPhone 16e is only a stepping stone in Apple’s quest to develop high-performance and power-efficient custom 5G modems. However, the fact that the baseband chip made its debut in a less expensive device meant that the company had to watch what it said because it did not want sales of its more premium handsets to suffer, as they continued to ship with Qualcomm modems. Now, when asked about these in-house solutions, Chief Executive Tim Cook admitted that the
Tim Cook said the thing about C1 that Apple wouldn’t say before
Apple’s C1 modem launched this year in the iPhone 16e, but without much company fanfare. But Tim Cook just expressed C1’s strengths in a way that Apple—for good reason—shied away from previously.
When Apple launched C1, it was the culmination of many years of effort. But unlike lots of the company’s other innovations, Apple had to be careful not to tout C1’s benefits too highly.
Why? Because Qualcomm’s competing modem is still
Apple expects to source over 19 billion chips from U.S. factories this year
Apple is one of the world's largest consumer electronics makers, procuring tens of billions of chips yearly. Although range-topping Apple processors are produced by TSMC in Taiwan, a lot of the chips that it uses inside its devices are made in the U.S. This year alone, Apple intends to source as many as 19 billion chips made in America and tens of millions of them will be fabbed by TSMC in Arizona.
