Almost a month after the launch of its big iOS 17.4 update, Apple has finally released iOS 17.5 and iPadOS 17.5 beta 1 to developers for testing purposes. It was reported by prominent analyst Mark Gurman that Apple is currently developing and testing the build and that the update will be available to all developers this week. The company has finally delivered it after a month, and we suspect the update will house major changes for the iPhone. A month after the release of iOS 17.4, Apple released iOS 17.5 and iPadOS 17.5 Beta to developers for testing If you are a registered developer, you can download and install iOS 17.5 and iPadOS 17.5 beta 1 on your compatible iPhone and iPad models right now, free of charge. However, you do require a Developer Account, which will allow you to receive the beta updates over the air. If your Apple ID is already connected to your Developer Account, simply head over to Settings > General > Software Updates > Beta Updates > and download the latest iOS 17.5 beta on your iPhone. RELATED STORY Apple’s First iPad Officially Released Today On April 3, And Even After 14 Years, No Other Company Has Been Able To Create Any Meaningful Competition The process is the same for iOS and iPadOS to install the latest beta directly from Apple. iOS 17.5 could house major changes for the iPhone as it is not an iOS 17.x.x update. The company has released most of the features that it announced at its WWDC 2023 event last year. This means that there will not be many features that you should be looking forward to, but you never know when the company seeds something new for users. Possibly, the update will carry fixes and additional changes for developers in the EU, as the company has a lot to change in order to comply with the region's Digital Markets Act. Despite the addition of new changes, Apple could offer new features for users residing in the North American region as well. It was recently reported that the company silently upgraded the wireless charging speed of the iPhone 12, a phone that launched three years ago. Henceforth, there is always something to look forward to. We will wait for the developers to test the new build and then let you know what the latest iOS 17.5 beta build holds. https://wccftech.com/ios-17-5-beta-released/

Apple has just released iOS 17.4.1 to the general public, which includes a boatload of essential bug fixes and performance enhancements for the iPhone. The update was released without beta cycles for developers, which means that the update was not big enough for the company, but it could include a handful of updates that will improve the user experience. However, we have seen some iOS updates bring a few bugs to the operating system, which poses a question for users as to whether they should upgrade to the latest iOS 17.4.1 platform for the iPhone. Apple releases iOS 17.4.1 update for iPhone with essential bug fixes and security updates iOS 17.4.1 is a minor update for the iPhone, and it will not enhance the functionality of the iPhone or provide any additional utility to users. Users should still consider updating to the latest as the platform brings bug fixes and performance enhancements that work under the hood for the iPhone. Apple did not abruptly release iOS 17.4.1 to the general public as references to the update were discovered in MacRumors' website log, which we have previously covered. RELATED STORY A Steve Jobs Signed Business Card Just Sold for a Whopping $181,183 Besides bug fixes and performance enhancements, the iOS 17.4.1 update also brings security updates for the iPhone, which is something that users should pay a lot of attention to. Henceforth, we would advise users to update to the latest iOS 17.4.1 as soon as they can. Other than iOS 17.4.1, Apple has also released iPadOS 17.4.1 with a fix for a bug related to QR scanning. Some users could not scan QR codes on their iPads prior to the latest iPadOS 17.4.1 update, and this is another reason why users should opt to download and install the latest update on their iPhones. If you are not familiar with the mechanism, iOS 17.4.1 and iPadOS 17.4.1 can be downloaded and installed on compatible iPhone and iPad models by heading over to the Settings app, selecting General > Software Update, and then following the on-screen instructions. So far, iOS 17.4.1 has not shown any signs of major issues, and it appears to be a pretty stable build for the iPhone. For the Vision Pro, Apple has also released the new visionOS 1.1.1 update, which will improve the stability of the headset while making it more secure thanks to the security updates and bug fixes. It is too early to conclude if the update comes with any major changes to the platform, but we will keep you in the loop as soon as something new is discovered. https://wccftech.com/ios-17-4-1-update-released-for-iphone/

YingRen Technology, the firm behind Innogrit, has unveiled a new Gen5 SSD controller based on RSIC-V architecture & it claims to enable fanless designs. RISC-V and AI Technology To Power YingRen's (InnoGrit) PCIe Gen5 NVMe SSD Controller You might have not heard about YingRen Technology before this, but the firm is widely popular in the consumer SSD segment, as it is known as InnoGrit outside China. The company is responsible for some of the fastest SSD controllers out there, such as the 12nm InnoGrit IG5666, which Team Group T-Force GE PRO PCIe Gen5 SSDs utilize. Yingren Technology will capitalize on the AI hype by integrating the latest features into its upcoming PCIe 5.0 YRS820 SSD controller.In a recent showcase, Yingren revealed that their YRS820 Gen 5 SSD controller can achieve sequential read and write speeds beyond 14,000 MB/s and 12,000 MB/s, respectively, placing it among the top contenders in the market. The controller comes with random read and write speeds of 2 million and 1.5 million, respectively. Moreover, the controller comes with an open-source RISC-V architecture to align with US policies, a 4-channel PCIe 5.0 interface, and eight NAND flash channels, ensuring the best performance without compromise. The controller can support up to 8TB capacities. More interestingly, YingRen states that they can achieve all of this high-end performance in a fan-less design which is something we look forward to seeing take practical application.

Last week, Apple released iOS 17.2 beta to developers for testing purposes. The update could be available for all compatible iPhone models by the end of this month with many forward-facing features. However, it is now being reported that the company is working on iOS 17.1.1 internally, and based on the software version, it could arrive before the release of iOS 17.2 later this month. Apple will release iOS 17.1.1 in the coming weeks ahead of iOS 17.2, but it will not house any major features Apple has released several updates for iOS 17 to fix various bugs, including the overheating issues on the new iPhone 15 Pro models. Moreover, the company is working to ensure the platform is stable and bug-free, as many users have complained of stability and poor performance on the iPhone. With that said, iOS 17.1.1 will be a minor update, considering the number of features it will bring to the table. The update will potentially focus on bug fixes and performance enhancements rather than getting new features into the mix. RELATED STORY Apple’s Product Launch Roadmap Shows A Massive 42-Inch OLED iMac In The Works, But It Will Arrive After Several Years iOS 17.1.1 could house fixes for WiFi and connectivity issues not addressed in iOS 17.1. Currently, the iPhone also has a bug that allows the device to shut down overnight automatically, preventing notifications from showing. iOS 17 also has a BMW wireless charging bug, which Apple has acknowledged and stated that a fix is on the way. While there are numerous issues, it is unclear at this stage which will be part of the final iOS 17.1.1 release. As mentioned earlier, Apple is testing iOS 17.1.1 internally and it could be released without entering the beta cycle. This means that developers would have no chance to discover what is part of the release. We speculate that the update will arrive next Tuesday or the week after. However, it will be released ahead of the iOS 17.2 update. The company is working its best to make iOS 17 more stable, but so far, it is potentially one of the weakest updates to hit the iPhone. Other than iOS 17.1.1, Apple is also testing iOS 17.2, which will be a significant update. Developers have found out that the update will bring numerous features to the table, including the new Journal app for iPhone and iPad. The update also improves the Apple Music app and a new Translate option for the iPhone 15 Pro's Action Button. Additionally, iOS 17.2 will bring Contact Key Verification in iMessage, additional Clock and Weather widgets, and much more. We will let you know when the update is available for download on all compatible iPhone models. https://wccftech.com/apple-preparing-ios-17-1-1-with-major-bug-fixes/

A Chinese research paper reveals that "ACCEL", an in-house analog AI processing chip, can deliver 3000 times faster performance than NVIDIA's A100 & A800 GPUs. Chinese ACCEL Analog AI Chip Reportedly Provides "3000 Times" Faster Performance Than NVIDIA's A100 & A800 With China under the influence of global sanctions, it seems like the country is rapidly improving its "homegrown" solutions, in an attempt to maintain its existing pace of industry growth. A paper published by Tsinghua University, China reveals that the institute has devised a new technique for AI computing performance and developed a chip named ACCEL ( All-Analog Chip Combining Electronic and Light Computing), which basically harnesses the power of photonics and analog technology to provide exceptional performance, and the numbers revealed are quite shocking. RELATED STORY Meet Grok – Elon Musk’s Answer to ChatGPT According to the publication via Nature, the AI chip ACCEL has the capability to deliver 4.6 peta-operations per second, which is indeed way ahead of what the current industry solutions offer but that isn't all. The chip is designed to maintain power efficiency, since without doing so, it wouldn't be applicable to the industry. The ACCEL employs a "systemic energy efficiency" architecture, which is able to deliver 74.8 peta-operations per second per watt. Hence, as the numbers disclose, the chip deviates from the industry trends, where high computing power is directly proportional to more power consumption. Image Source: Nature Without any sort of real-time benchmark, labeling a chip as the "industry's fastest" is justice, however, ACCEL was experimentally put up against the Fashion-MNIST, 3-class ImageNet classification and time-lapse video recognition scenarios to test the limits of "deep-learning" performance of the chip. It was able to deliver accuracies of 85.5%, 82.0%, and 92.6%, respectively, which depicts that the chip has widescale industry applications, and is not just limited to a particular segment. This makes things more exciting with ACCEL, and we can't wait to see what the chip brings to the future. Image Source: Nature Now let's talk about how ACCEL actually works. The chip combines the capabilities of diffractive optical analog computing (OAC) and electronic analog computing (EAC) with scalability, nonlinearity, and flexibility. To achieve such efficiency numbers, the chip features an optoelectronic hybrid architecture in an all-analog way to reduce massive ADCs (Analogue-Digital Conversions), in large-scale workloads, which results in a much improved performance. The research paper published covers the mechanism of the chip quite extensively, hence you can have a look at it here, to get an idea of how things work with ACCEL. For state-of-the-art GPU, we used NVIDIA A100, whose claimed computing speed reaches 156 TFLOPS for float32 (ref. 33). ACCEL with two-layer OAC (400 × 400 neurons in each OAC layer) and one-layer EAC (1,024 × 3 neurons) experimentally achieved a testing accuracy of 82.0% (horizontal dashed line in Fig. 6d,e). Because OAC computes in a passive way, ACCEL with two-layer OAC improves the accuracy over ACCEL with one-layer OAC at almost no increase in latency and energy consumption (Fig. 6d,e, purple dots). However, in a real-time vision task such as automatic driving on the road, we cannot capture multiple sequential images in advance for a GPU to make full use of its computing speed by processing multiple streams simultaneously48 (examples as dashed lines in Fig. 6d,e). To process sequential images in serial at the same accuracy, ACCEL experimentally achieved a computing latency of 72 ns per frame and an energy consumption of 4.38 nJ per frame, whereas NVIDIA A100 achieved a latency of 0.26 ms per frame and an energy consumption of 18.5 mJ per frame. via Nature How will ACCEL and similar analog AI chip developments reshape the industry? Well, answering this question right now isn't easy, given that the adoption of analog-based AI accelerators is still something for the future. While the performance numbers and statistics are quite optimistic, an important fact to note is that "deployment" of them in the industry isn't as easy as it seems, given that it requires more time, greater financial resources, and in-depth research work. However, none can argue that the future looks bright for computing, and it is only a matter of time before we see such performance in the mainstream industry. https://wccftech.com/chinese-research-paper-accel-analog-ai-chip-claims-3000x-speedup-vs-nvidia-a100-a800-gpus/
