Apple is expected to unveil four new models in the upcoming iPhone 15 series — iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max — in September this year. While the Cupertino-based company has not shared any details on the upcoming iPhone 15 series and its launch, there have been several leaks in the past hinting at their design and specifications. As per a latest leak, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are said to be available in new colour options. A report by 9to5Mac, citing a Weibo user, claims that the iPhone 15 Pro will be offered in a new “crimson” shade. The new shade "may be a little lighter” than the iPhone 14 Pro's Deep Purple colour, but “still very deep”, says the report. The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are said to come in a new green colour option. This finish would be similar to the Green variants of the iPhone 12 and iPhone 11. This corroborates a rumour from April. The vanilla model was earlier speculated to come in pink and light blue shades. The report also includes self-generated renders of the vanilla iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus in new green, light blue, and red shades. iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus are available in six colours —Blue, Midnight, Starlight, Red (Product), Purple, and Yellow. The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max are available in Deep Purple, Gold, Silver, and Space Black colour options. Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 15 series in September. The Pro models are said to come with a titanium frame. As per a previous leak, the average selling price of the iPhone 15 series will be $925 (roughly Rs. 76,300). The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus models are expected to run on the current A16 Bionic chip, while the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max could use a newer A17 Bionic SoC. This year's iPhone models are expected to get 48-megapixel camera units and a USB Type-C port for charging.

PC gamers continue to show a stronger preference for Windows 11 over Windows 10 compared to everyday users, going by the most recent stats from a couple of sources. We’re talking about the Steam hardware survey for June, a monthly report compiled by Valve on all sorts of facets of the PCs used on the platform, and Statcounter’s latest figures for June (which represent everyday users, or a non-gaming audience – though there may be some gamers among their ranks, of course). So, let’s look at those numbers for June and the recent past, before moving on to discuss them. On Steam in June, 35.75% of gamers are now using Windows 11, which is a pretty big uptick of 1.76% compared to the previous month. Indeed, in May, Windows 11 increased by 0.6% for adoption levels, and in April, it leaped by 11% (though that figure was an anomaly, representing a major shift in the survey’s target audience which rather messed up things). Still, you can see that steady upward progress is the trend, and by taking the aforementioned 11% glitch out of the equation, we can see that March and April went up by just over a percent (combined, so both months witnessed a similar gain to May, effectively). Moving to everyday users and looking at Statcounter’s figures, Windows 11 adoption is now at 23.91%, up from 22.95%, an increase of nearly one percent – but the kicker is that in May, as we reported at the time, Windows 11 actually fell from 23.11% to 22.95%. So in actual fact, over the last three months, the increase has been a rather shaky 0.82% (compared to 2.36% for gamers). Analysis: Microsoft relying on Copilot for take-off outside of gamers? It’s pretty clear to see that things are rather shaky for Windows 11 in terms of its general user base over the past few months compared to the gaming landscape, where the newer OS continues to be on the up and up. Looking at it another way, rounding up, Windows 11 is at 36% for gamers and 24% for everyday users – so adoption is now 50% greater for the gaming world. That’s quite a difference. For Microsoft, seeing that just under a quarter of the general computing public has moved to Windows 11 must be pretty disappointing. Remember, the OS is not far off two years old now, and at the same point in its timeline of existence, Windows 10 had captured a 36% market share (as per Statcounter) of everyday users. (Which, funnily enough, corresponds to the level now reached by gamers for Windows 11). What can Microsoft do about this? Well, fixing bugs is one thing, as reports of issues such as the wonky SSD speeds that have been affecting some Windows 11 users since March will be off-putting to would-be upgraders. And the other point that immediately springs to mind is adding back features that were stripped away in Windows 11 (useful functionality like ‘never combine’ for the taskbar, which is, thankfully, inbound for the OS hopefully before the end of the year). We’re guessing that Microsoft is probably relying on some big-ticket features to attract the average user to make the leap to Windows 11 – the principal one being Windows Copilot, the introduction of an AI assistant to the desktop. Copilot has just appeared in testing (Dev channel preview build), albeit in a very limited fashion to begin with. Of course, the other sticking point for Windows 11 is that it has more stringent hardware requirements than Windows 10 that not every PC out there can meet, so some folks will have to wait until they get a new PC. (Or perform a fiddly upgrade, either a physical one – like installing a TPM module – or a workaround, which isn’t likely to happen in many cases for good reasons).

Considering the buzz around AI and the reception surrounding its 7040-series Phoenix APUs, it was only a matter of time before we'd see new products from AMD leveraging the latest AI processing core. Once again, it seems that AMD elected to manufacture the highest-performing and higher Average Selling Price (ASP) products first. But AMD was bound to trickle down its Zen 4 + RDNA 3 + XDNA AI Phoenix processing package to additional, smaller chips. And if leaked photos are anything to go by, AMD's next chip in the Phoenix line is substantially lower in performance compared to the 7040U the company announced just two months ago. The Phoenix 2 will allegedly be a smaller chip than the original while bringing the same feature set to a lower price point. However, that lower price point can only be achieved one way without cutting into the chips' features and design, and that's by reducing the silicon area dedicated to processing resources. That move sees Phoenix 2 shed around 23% of its silicon area, taking the die area from 178 mm2 to just 137 mm2. Unfortunately, these cuts will likely come at a significant performance penalty. While Phoenix 1 could support up to 8 cores / 16 threads (Zen 4) and 8-12 CUs, it seems that Phoenix 2 will max out at 6 cores. An even bigger cut is expected regarding the GPU, with only 4 CUs compared to the maximum 12 available to Phoenix. The die area savings will definitely impact performance by more than the 23% area saved; there's no way around that when you're cutting your CPU resources by 25% and your GPU resources by a whopping 66%. Phoenix 2 will likely be marketed under the Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 3 brands rather than the Ryzen 7, with model names like "Ryzen 5 7540U" and "Ryzen 3 7340U". Looking elsewhere on the internet for information, sleuth Nemez (@GPUsAreMagic) took to Twitter to try and shed some light on what exactly makes up a Zen 4 CPU. Using patience, CPU design knowledge, and a Thermopylae-like sense of duty, Nemez managed to more or less circumscribe Zen 4's hardware design down to its essential elements: L1 and L2 cache repositories (which keep data close to the CPU's execution units, where they can more quickly be fetched); schedulers (which try to keep the CPU free of bottlenecks and stalls where information isn't where it's supposed to be at the moment it's needed); branch predictors... The die shots also showcase how much die area is dedicated to things "other than the CPU cores." It's sometimes hard to understand how much logic goes into a modern processor, especially when marketing departments try to keep things as "simple" as possible. There are only mentions of either cores, threading, or (god forbid we get back there again) frequency. But none of those parts work without the rest of the "supporting" (but still essential) hardware. So it seems AMD is readying a smaller version of its Phoenix CPUs, bringing its XDNA AI processing unit to lower-tier processors. AMD also had little choice but to cut on Phoenix 2's processing resources to shave area (and thus cost).

Itel P40+ is expected to launch soon in India. It could join the vanilla Itel P40 model which was released in the country earlier this year in March. The previously launched entry-level Itel smartphone is backed by a large 6,000mAh battery. The upcoming handset is already listed on Amazon and is confirmed to come with a larger 7,000mAh battery and 18W wired fast charging support. The price of the model is scheduled to be set under Rs. 9,000. The phone has been listed on an Amazon microsite which reveals that the Itel P40+ will launch with a 7,000mAh battery with 18W wired fast charging support and a USB Type-C port. It claims to offer up to 41 hours of call time, 14 hours of video playback time, or 16 hours of texting time. The phone is confirmed to be priced under Rs. 9,000. The teaser claims that the Itel P40+ will be the country's first 7,000mAh battery-backed smartphone in that price range. The teaser adds that there will be additional offers available to customers on certain bank cards. The company is yet to confirm the launch date of the smartphone. The Itel P40+ is expected to launch with a 6.8-inch HD+ (1200 x 720 pixels) LCD panel with an aspect ratio of 20:9. It could be powered by a Unisoc T606 SoC paired with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of inbuilt storage. The dual rear camera system of the phone is likely to include a 13-megapixel sensor and an AI lens. It launched with similar specifications in certain African markets like Nigeria. Earlier this year in March, the Itel P40 was released in India. The 4GB RAM + 64GB storage model is priced at Rs. 7,699. It is offered in Dreamy Blue, Force Black and Luxurious Gold colour options. The phone is powered by an octa-core Unisoc SC9863A SoC and is backed by a 6,000mAh battery with 18W wired fast charging support.

ChatGPT has quickly become the gold standard that other AI chatbots have been striving to reach - and defeat. Now, according to a bold statement from Chinese tech giant Baidu, another AI has apparently done so. Baidu announced that its latest version of the ‘Ernie’ AI model, Ernie 3.5, has already beaten ChatGPT in several key metrics, according to Business Today. Baidu, the leading search engine in China, stated that Ernie 3.5 beats out ChatGPT in both comprehensive ability scores and general performance in Chinese language tasks. It supports these claims by citing a test from state newspaper China Science Daily, which used datasets from AGIEval and C-Eval - two benchmarks for AI performance, essentially. ChatGPT creator OpenAI has apparently not responded to Business Today concerning these claims as of this writing. Baidu also stated that its latest Ernie model features enhanced training and inference efficiency, which it claims will make the AI faster and more cost-efficient later down the line. Lastly, the new model will support plugins, add-on applications that can perform additional tasks - like summarising lengthy text or generating more accurate answers. TechRadar has also reached out for comment concerning Baidu’s claims against OpenAI’s ChatGPT and will update this story if and when we hear back. Baidu competing against ChatGPT…and Google? It’s important to note that while there’s no official English release for Ernie, Baidu’s main search engine platform itself is available in English language. The fact that it has English versions of its other services could suggest that it would be interested - and certainly capable - of bringing its Ernie AI model to the West. Such a move would be intriguing, not only to see how well its Ernie 3.5 would actually fare against ChatGPT, but also to see how the company would deal with another rival — Google. Google is the world’s most po[CENSORED]r search engine, with an overwhelming market share of more than 90%. Naturally, it’s leveraging that reach to power up its own AI model, Bard, by integrating it into its search results - not to mention including elsewhere it in its Google Workspaces suite, beefing up the software’s capabilities with AI. Baidu is China’s answer to Google (they even have Baidu Maps), and could easily do the same, leveraging its AI model to complement its search engine and drive interest in Ernie as a standalone AI service. Of course, this would also put it in direct opposition with Google, which could result in some very intense competition - but competition can only help consumers in the end, so I welcome the idea with open arms.

Oracle this week said that it had ported its Oracle Database 19c Enterprise Edition, the current long-term support release of Oracle Database, to Ampere's Altra processors that use the Arm instruction set architecture (ISA). The move marks a milestone both for Ampere and Arm ISA as Oracle is one of the most widely used enterprise software suites. Separately, the company said that eventually it might ditch x86-based instances running Database on processors from AMD and Intel from its data centers in favor of instances enabled by Ampere CPUs. Oracle hopes that by tailoring its Database software for Ampere's single-thread CPUs, it will tangibly increase performance efficiency of its data centers. Furthermore, Ampere, in which Oracle is a lead investor, could also implement tweaks into CPUs to better run Oracle's Database. "It is a major commitment to move to a new supplier. We've moved to a new architecture and we've moved to new supplier," Larry Ellison, Oracle's founder, said at an event hosted by Ampere, reports Reuters. "We think that this is the future. The old Intel x86 architecture, after many decades in the market, is reaching its limit." Oracle Database 19c Enterprise Edition is now certified for work on Ampere Altra-based servers for both on-premises deployments and in the cloud by subscribing to Oracle Database Service using OCI Ampere A1 compute instances enabled by Ampere Altra on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). It will continue to be offered on AMD and Intel-powered instances probably for years to come. But with Arm-based Ampere servers, Oracle hopes to offer "highly economical price points." Oracle's OCI Ampere A1 can be used in a flexible VM format ranging from 1 to 57 CPU cores, each with 8GB of memory (maxing out at 456GB), 1 Gbps of network bandwidth for each CPU core (up to a total of 40 Gbps per VM). Oracle's Database enterprise database management software is used by large businesses, banks, government agencies, retailers, and manufacturers for running online transaction processing (OLTP), data warehousing (DW) and mixed (OLTP & DW) workloads. The software has been in development since 1979 and supports a wide variety of hardware and software platforms, including IBM's Mainframe and Power-bases systems, x86 CPUs from AMD and Intel, Sun's SPARC processors, Intel's IA64 (Itanium) chips, and now Arm-based Ampere Altra SoCs. "Today's announcement highlights the broad architectural shift across the market to Ampere processors that meet the demands of both modern cloud and on-premises environments," said Jeff Wittich, Chief Product Officer of Ampere. "With the Ampere Altra family of processors, customers of the world's most po[CENSORED]r database — Oracle Database — now have a high-performance, energy efficient architecture built with sustainability in mind for organizations of all sizes." While running Database on energy-efficient cloud-native Ampere's Altra CPUs promises to make a lot of economic sense for Oracle, OCI still needs to offer high-performance computing (HPC), and Dense-IO instances for those who need maximum performance and ultra-fast local storage. So, this week the company announced OCI Compute E5 HPC and OCI Compute E5 Dense-IO instanced based on AMD's 4th Generation EPYC processors with their vast core counts and rich I/O capabilities.

Musician Name: Niall James Horan Birthday / Location: September 13, 1993 (age 29) Mullingar, Westmeath Ireland Main instrument: Pop Pop rock folk-pop Musician Picture: Musician Awards & Nominations:- Best Performance: - Other Information: Niall James Horan (Mullingar, September 13, 1993), better known as Niall Horan is an Irish singer and songwriter. He became known as a member of the boy band One Direction. In 2010, Horan auditioned as a solo contestant on British competition The X Factor. After being phased out as solo artists, Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson were reunited in a band. After the band's hiatus in 2016, Horan signed a deal as a solo artist with Capitol Records. Her singles "This Town" and "Slow Hands" from her debut studio album, Flicker (2017) reached the top 20 in several countries. The album debuted at number one in Ireland and the US, as well as charting in the top three in Australia and the UK. He embarked on the Flicker Sessions Tour (2017) and the Flicker World Tour (2018) in support of the album. Horan's second studio album Heartbreak Weather was released on March 13, 2020 and debuted at number four in the US and number one in the UK, Ireland and Mexico. Niall was born on September 13, 1993 in Mullingar in Ireland. He is the son of Maura Gallagher and Bobby Horan, and has an older brother named Greg, his parents separated when he was a child. Horan studied at Coláiste Mhuiri and Congrenation of Christian Brothers, at this time he participated in the choir. Horan tried to play the guitar that his brother played for Christmas, but he wasn't able to play it. Horan, then 11 years old, learned to play the guitar by following YouTube tutorials. Her aunt discovered her talent one day when she was in the car with Niall when he started singing. She originally thought the radio was on. As a teenager, he performed at the Mullingar Arts Center during a fundraiser for the local football team, the Shamrocks. He was also landing a support spot with former X Factor contestant Lloyd Daniels at the Academy club in Dublin. As a child, he showed an interest in music after his family gave him a guitar for Christmas. He also aspired to be "a big name", like Beyoncé and Justin Bieber, and cites Michael Bublé as one of his biggest influences.

The Vivo X90s is launching next week and ahead of its debut, a third-party retailer has leaked the storage options for the upcoming phone. The VivoX90s will reportedly be launched in three RAM and storage configurations. It is tipped to come with UFS 4.0 storage. Along with the memory details, the leak has also revealed the colour variants among other aspects of the Vivo handset. The smartphone may launch in four different colour options. However, the pricing and availability for the Vivo X90s are yet to be revealed. According to a report by The Tech Outlook, the upcoming Vivo X90s has been spotted on Chinese third-party retail website JD.com, revealing its storage variants and a few other details. The phone will reportedly come in three RAM and storage configurations — 8GB RAM+256GB storage, 12GB RAM+256GB storage and the top-end variant with 12GB RAM+512GB storage. The listing suggests that Vivo has dropped the 8GB RAM and 128GB storage configuration for the upcoming Vivo X90s. This also means that all Vivo X90s variants will come with UFS 4.0 storage. As for the colour variants, the Vivo X90s will be available in four colours – black, red, white and a refreshed green shade. Previous leaks and rumours have suggested that the Vivo X90s could come with a more powerful processor than the Vivo X90. The smartphone is likely to ship with the new MediaTek Dimensity 9200+ SoC. Vivo has also shared a glimpse of the smartphone, revealing a white colour variant and Zeiss-branded triple rear cameras along with an LED flash module. Earlier, the Vivo X90s was also spotted on a TENAA listing, hinting a 6.78-inch curved AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution of 2,800 x 1,280 pixels. Additionally, the primary rear camera on Vivo X90s is rumoured to be a 50-megapixel sensor while the other two cameras could be a 12-megapixel ultra-wide lens and a 12-megapixel portrait sensor with 2x optical zoom.

After years of speculation, Apple finally unveiled the Apple Vision Pro VR headset at WWDC 2023, and initial reactions to the upcoming hardware have ranged from “I need this yesterday” to “Why does this exist?” On the one hand, this standalone VR hardware is likely to be more capable than any of the current best VR headsets. On the other, it costs significantly more than the competition and doesn’t yet have any must-have software to justify its impressive specs. However, VR app creators could help to change this, now that the first visionOS beta has launched. Since the software will be key to the Vision Pro’s success, I spoke with the people behind some of the best VR games out there – studios such as Purple Yonder, Mighty Coconut, and Schell Games – to get their thoughts on the Apple VR headset and the sorts of projects they might want to create for it. And it turns out that Apple’s innovative hardware is both a blessing and a curse. Validation Every developer I spoke to about the Vision Pro began by expressing the same view as Charlie Amis from Schell Games, the team behind titles such as Among Us VR and I Expect You To Die. “I'm excited by the validation this device brings to all of our efforts.” These developers and the players who love their games have been championing VR for years; but despite all the great things they and hardware makers such as Meta, Sony, and HTC have achieved, there remain those on the outside who continue to dismiss VR as a fad. Now that Apple – one of the most recognizable, if not the most recognizable tech companies – is entering the VR game, all of the haters are eating their words. Sure, Apple has a few flops to its name (Newton and the HomePod, to name a couple), but its successful innovations have undeniably sculpted the consumer tech landscape into what it is today. As such, if Apple is making moves in VR then everyone needs to pay attention – and it doesn’t appear to be only entering the space, it’s going all-out, diving head-first into the deep end. The uber-powerful Vision Pro will arrive in 2024 to show folks exactly what VR is capable of. Two follow-up gadgets (which include a more budget-friendly option) are reportedly set to follow soon after, around late 2024 or 2025. The people I spoke to felt Apple clearly wants the Vision Pro and its successors to become part of its core lineup, and they’re optimistic about how this dedication will impact the VR space. One benefit they predict is that the Vision Pro could help to get more people into VR, but not in the way you think. The developers I interviewed acknowledged that the $3,499 (around £2,800 / AU$5,300) price makes the device inaccessible to a large number of people, although many could still get the opportunity to try it out and fall in love with immersive experiences. As was noted by a few developers, a huge advantage for Apple is its in-person stores in many major cities across the globe. They’d be surprised if the company didn’t use some space within to set up dedicated VR testing areas. Even if people might not be willing to splash out on a $3,500 headset having given it a try, they might instead decide to spend $300 / £300 / AU$509.99 on an Oculus Quest 2, or pick up one of another of the headsets out there – albeit without some of the Vision Pro’s innovations. Is the juice worth the squeeze? That being said, while the Apple Pro’s innovative features and design have developers intrigued, they do come as something of a double-edged sword. A big departure for the Vision Pro next to its rivals is that it will only use hand-tracking; there are no controllers included in the box as far as we know. What’s more, it will be an all-new version of hand-tracking that relies on eye-tracking to create a more accurate and intuitive system, which is different from the method used by other VR systems. This means that despite developers having existing VR software that would be a great fit for the Apple Vision Pro, porting it over won't be a simple task. Mighty Coconut’s Lucas Martell and Don Carson, two of the people behind the must-play Walkabout Mini Golf, are already trying to come up with solutions. One approach they floated during our chat was to perhaps start with the upcoming iOS release of Walkabout rather than the VR one – with the first visionOS beta showing it’s fairly easy to port a basic version of an iOS app to Apple’s VR operating system. The app’s touch-control menus could be adapted to support the Vision Pro’s hand-tracking, and as for the virtual golf club, Martell joked that the headset might be able to track a wooden spoon held by the players and translate its movement into VR. At the same time, there’s the question among some creators of if the juice is going to be worth the squeeze. When PlayStation VR 2 launched, it made sense for developers to port their games to it – the previous iteration of Sony's headset proved po[CENSORED]r, so the follow-up would likely be too. In addition, its controller layout is pretty much identical to what’s used by the Quest 2, Pico 4, and other VR headsets. Porting titles to Apple’s headset will likely require more effort because it has a different setup, yet it isn’t yet clear if it will have a large enough user base to justify the developers putting in the work. It’s also unclear if VR gaming will click with the Vision Pro’s audience. Purple Yonder (the crew behind Little Cities and Synapse) noted that the Vision Pro is being billed as a spatial computing platform. Apple’s Vision Pro introduction video compares the headset to a PC and a traditional home entertainment setup, which will enable you to be productive, watch films and play games on a large virtual screen. Immersive experiences were mentioned, but more as a way to enhance these AR apps rather than a dedicated VR experience like what’s offered by these developers’ games. As such, rather than porting existing software over to Vision Pro, developers might want to create new apps that take advantage of its increased processing power and mixed-reality focus. The Apple Vision Pro is for 3D artists Even if the Vision Pro doesn’t turn out to be a fan favorite, and its focus doesn’t quite fit the games these developers want to produce, they seem keen to pick up a few to at least use it to work on games for other platforms. Creative industries are a key focus for Apple’s tech – just look at gadgets such as the upcoming Apple Mac Studio M2 (2023), and the recent arrival of Apple’s video and audio editing software on iPad. But working on flat 2D screens isn’t always the best idea if you’re trying to create an immersive 3D environment that players can explore. This is the reason I was told that many of these creatives’ projects start with VR sketches, which the game designers can easily explore from a first-person perspective. Assuming the visionOS platform gets the relevant software support, the developers said that the Vision Pro’s powerful specs could entice them to shift more of their production into VR. Rather than only drawing simple VR sketches before moving over to a PC, they could design, create, test, and launch a whole game without ever taking off the headset. The jury is still out over whether the Vision Pro will be a major commercial success, but in developers' eyes, it’s already a winner – and for them, the 2024 release date couldn’t come soon enough.

Whether or not you grew up in the 90s, you’re bound to recognize the po[CENSORED]r pocket-sized virtual pet platform Tamagotchi. These battery-powered devices put a digital creature at the mercy of your care, expecting you to play with it, feed it and clean up after it. You can still find Tamagotchis on the market today and their Digimon counterparts. However, robotics fanatic Kevin McAleer has gone one step further and made his own from scratch using our favorite microcontroller, the Raspberry Pi Pico. His custom creation has been officially dubbed the Picotamachibi. According to Kevin, the name is derived from a few words. Pico comes from the Raspberry Pi Pico controlling the operation. ‘Tama’ is taken from Tamagotchi, while ‘chibi’ is taken from the Japanese term ‘chibi kyara’ (ちびキャラ) or ‘tiny character.’ Kevin explains that this custom Pico pet was programmed using MicroPython. The device is very similar in design to an original Tamagotchi. It has an OLED display with graphics depicting a tiny virtual creature. A menu bar has various icons that you can use to interact with and care for your virtual pet. The sprites aren’t static either; you can expect subtle movements and animations while in use. Kevin designed the housing for the Picotamachibi from scratch and 3D printed it. You can use either a Raspberry Pi Pico or a Raspberry Pi Pico W for the project, as wireless connectivity isn’t a necessary component. He’s using three tact switches for the input buttons and an SSD1306 OLED display which has a resolution of 128 x 64px. The three buttons are A, B, and X. The A button is used for rotating through the menu options in the top bar. The B button selects an item while the X button cancels it. A little skull icon will appear when your virtual pet’s health is compromised. Kevin has a video breaking down the code used in this project on his official YouTube channel.
