With the switch to Intel processors in 2005, Apple became a major contender in the laptop sector. In 2007, Apple began its long line of successes with mobile devices, including the now-ubiquitous iPhone, which sold 270,000 units in its first 30 hours of sales. Apple continued to see succe...
First, it makes the iPhone 16 powerful enough to run Apple Intelligence, whereas the iPhone 15 cannot. It’s also what enables the changes to Photographic Styles mentioned above, and it’s more power efficient — allowing for the better battery life I just talked about. What you’ll likely...
when Apple shifted to in-house M1 processors in 2020 instead of Intel chips, revenues skyrocketed by over 70%.5Critically, the M1 processors allowed for longer battery life and power efficiency, consuming less power than the former Intel chips. ...
A lot of Apple Intelligence tasks are said to be done on-device, but for more complex demands, the PCC steps in. Apple offers end-to-end encryption and only makes the data available to the user to ensure that your private requests remain just that — private. However, wi...
Nonetheless, both the processors feature hardware-accelerated ray tracing for rendering realistic lighting in 3D applications. While the S24 Ultra has a vapor chamber for cooling, the iPhone 16 Pro has a new heat dissipation mechanism that sustains peak performance for a longer time. S24 Ultra ...
Apple’s introduction of the Macintosh in 1984 introduced the graphical user interface to mainstream desktop computing. The Mac ran on a 32-bit processor (compared to 16-bit processors for other PCs at the time) and had 128K of memory. It was an immediate success: more than 400,000 Macinto...
Microsoft has discontinued its Lumia line of smartphones, but theSurface Prois a separate matter altogether. The latest addition to this product line is the Microsoft Surface Pro 6, which comes with eighth-generation Intel Core 5 processors, a 12.3-inch display and up to 13.5...
Current global sales exceed 1.5 million robotic mowers per year, at an average price of $1,200 — the same price as the cheapest Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max. Within five years, annual robotic lawn mower unit shipments are expected to reach seven million per year. Anyone with a li...
Pairing an Apple Watch with an iPhone makes Siri easier to access than ever. But with a new voice-controlled Apple TV said to be on the horizon, Siri seems poised to become an even more prevalent part of the Apple ecosystem. Editor's note: Apple frequently introduces new...
“I-o-T, I-o-T, I-o-T” all along the way. But for the most part, they are each running towards something different. For some, it is a network of sensors; for others, it is a network of processors; for still others, it is a previously unconnected and unnetworked embedded ...
