Apple is preparing to launch several new smart home products

In the last few years, Apple has been trying to penetrate markets outside its traditional ones, including the automotive industry. Now, according to the latest report from Mark Gurman, Apple is eyeing the smart home market as well. In the past, Apple dipped its toe with the HomePod and HomePod mini, but it wasn't the success the company hoped for.

Galaxy Z Flip7's Exynos 2500 chipset gets benchmarked, here are the results

Samsung is now rumored to be using the delayed Exynos 2500 chipset for the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip7 smartphone. And a benchmark run of a prototype, bearing the model number SM-F766U, has been spotted in the Geekbench database. That's interesting since that model number belongs to the version headed to the US, so it seems very likely that the Flip7 will use the Exynos 2500 all over the world. The benchmark gives us an idea of what to expect, performance-wise, from the SoC that was meant to be in the Galaxy S25 family but ended up being replaced with the Snapdragon 8 Elite due to yield...

But according to sources close to Digitimes, the upcoming Tensor G5 chip will likely come out of TSMC's facility. This is yet another confirmation of a rumor we heard back in 2024.

The report claims that the contract is...
