Apple's M2 Max chip runs Geekbench on a MacBook Pro with 96GB of RAM

Apple is testing its upcoming 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros with the as-of-yet unreleased M2 Max processor. So far, Apple has released the new-look MacBook Air and the very-old-look 13-inch MacBook Pro with the M2 processor, and the M2 Pro and M2 Max laptop processors are the logical next in line (with an eventual M2 Ultra for the Mac Studio). Two Geekbench runs reveal a MacBook with an M2 Pro processor and 96GB of RAM. The figure means that Apple will likely allow buyers to configure more than the current 64GB max option. The M2 Pro processor has 12 cores, running at a max of...

Kuo: Apple facing shortage of 15-20 million iPhone 14 Pros ahead of holiday shopping season

A new report from Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo points to a major shortage that Apple will be facing in the weeks left of this holiday shopping season. According to Kuo, Apple is expected to ship between 70-75 million iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max units, 15-20 million short of what was initially expected. The number is significantly more than Bloomberg’s estimated 6 million-unit shortage from a recent report. The total iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max shipments in 4Q22 will be 15–20 million units less than expected. Significant downside risks to Apple & iPhone supply chain due to Zhengzhou iPhone...

That's a tall order indeed, but at this rate the Korean company will almost certainly succeed. Today two more devices have been graced with One UI 5 and Android 13.

Google Pixel 7a leaked renders showcase a Pixel 7-like design

Google's next affordable smartphone, the Pixel 7a, has been leaked in all its glory in some nifty looking renders today. The Pixel 7a unsurprisingly borrows massively from the Pixel 7 in terms of the design of its back, which makes sense considering they're theoretically part of the same generation of smartphones from Google's stable - even though we're most likely still some months away from the official unveiling of the 7a. The Pixel 6a aped the Pixel 6's visor-like camera island, and in the same vein, the Pixel 7a apes the Pixel 7's metal bar. On the front, however, the price...

Another week down, this one culminating in some Black Friday madness, so let's recap. Vivo unveiled the X90 series, starting with China. The vivo X90 Pro+, X90 Pro, and X90 share a lot of similarities but also some differences - the flagship X90 Pro+ has a 50.3MP 1.0-inch type main camera, a 64MP 90mm 3.5x zoom, a 50mm 2x zoom, and a 48MP ultrawide, as well as a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. The X90 Pro shares the 1.0-inch type main camera and 2x tele but lacks the 90mm zoom, and has a 12MP ultrawide. Both the X90 Pro and X90 use the Dimensity 9200. Both also pack a 120W wired charging.

Weekly poll results: flagship chipsets still matter, but most people don't need the latest one

The result from last week’s poll shows that more than half of our readers think flagship chipsets are an important consideration when picking out the next phone. Not everyone cares if it’s the latest flagship chip, however. In fact, most prefer to get an older version as those tend to offer far better value for money. It takes a while for mid-range chips to catch up to the CPU, GPU and ISP performance of a former top of the line chip. For example, a Snapdragon 855 powered phone from 2020 still has a faster GPU than a phone with the Snapdragon 778G. The 778G remains a popular choice that...

Samsung promises to be even faster with updates next year

Google released Android 13 on August 15, and Samsung's first One UI 5 update based on Android 13 went out to the Galaxy S22 family on October 24, two months and almost ten days later.

And yet, next year it wants to do even better. Samsung...
