will reportedly miss its target of developing a modem for the iPhone that could see the company replace a vital component sourced from Qualcomm. The iPhone maker was previously tipped to introduce an in-house modem chip for its smartphones within the next couple of years, but a new report suggests that it might be delayed by a year. Apple employees have reportedly been working on the project since 2018, but the company's alternative to Qualcomm's modem is said to be years away. A Bloomberg report, citing unnamed sources at Apple with knowledge of the matter, states that the company is expected to miss its goal to develop an in-house modem chip by early 2025. Instead, the chip could be developed by the end of that year, or in early 2026, according to the report. Earlier this year, Qualcomm and Apple renewed a deal for access to the US chipmaker's modems for Apple's iPhone upcoming models. Apple's Johny Srouji announced in 2020 that the company had begun development of a new modem chip for its iPhone models. However, it has faced challenges during development — despite acquiring Intel's modem unit for $1 billion in 2019. The firm missed its plan to include its own 5G modem in an iPhone by next year, and the report suggests that it will not be available until 2026 — when Apple's deal with Qualcomm is set to end.When Apple eventually launches its own 5G modem, it might not offer performance on par with competing smartphones equipped with Qualcomm's modems, according to the report. One of the versions being developed by Apple does not offer support for the short-distance millimetre wave (mmWave) bands that offer extremely high 5G data speeds under certain conditions. Apple would also have to ensure that none of the technologies supported on the chip infringes on Qualcomm's patents. Successfully developing its own modem chip would give Apple an advantage over other manufacturers — the company already develops its own mobile processors for its smartphones, tablets, computers, wearables and other devices. However, the report suggests that Apple has run into roadblocks during the development of the component and might eventually introduce the chip on its most affordable smartphone — the purported successor to theIs the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 the best foldable phone you can buy in India right now?

A new report from Japanese business publication Nikkei has alleged Nintendo is planning to release its next-generation console – known colloquially as the ‘Nintendo Switch 2’ – in March 2025, with this release window inspired by concerns over hardware supply. VGC and other sources reported earlier in February 2024 that Nintendo had pushed back the release of its upcoming console from late 2024 to early 2025, with some sources suggesting the delay was related to a lack of games ready for launch. Nikkei‘s report corroborates this rumour, suggesting the Nintendo Switch 2 was delayed “to ensure the initial inventory of the successor console and a lineup of software titles at the time of its launch.” The outlet further alleged Nintendo is working to ensure a steady and hearty supply of hardware, to keep up with demand, and avoid any potential manufacturing bottlenecks. As many will remember, the pandemic-era console releases for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S were fairly disastrous, with consoles remaining out of stock more than a year after launch due to supply chain issues, and the global semiconductor chip shortage. Read: New Nintendo Switch allegedly features 8-inch LCD screen By allegedly delaying its plans for its next-generation Switch console, Nintendo is likely looking to avoid a similar situation, while ensuring everyone who wants to purchase its new console is able to access it – and new games – easily. While Nikkei believes this desire may inspire further delays, particularly if any future manufacturing issues arise, for now, the upcoming console is allegedly on track for its speculated early 2025 release. Officially, nothing has been confirmed just yet. With the influx of new reports around the Nintendo Switch 2, it’s important to remember Nintendo has not officially confirmed its plans for a new console, but has said it will continue to support the existing Nintendo Switch. We expect official word on the new console will be delivered shortly – possibly in the next few months – but for now, po[CENSORED]r rumour and reports are all we have to go on.

In response to multiple complaints of hardware failure following the rollout of its Vanguard anti-cheat software to League of Legends, Riot Games says it has "not confirmed any instance of Vanguard bricking anyone's hardware" but acknowledged that some BIOS settings could be causing headaches for a small number of players. The controversial Vanguard anti-cheat software has been live in Riot's shooter Valorant since the game launched in 2020, but it didn't come to League of Legends until earlier this week, as part of the 14.9 patch. Reports of serious trouble quickly followed: Players said their PCs were crashing, stuck in reboot loops, and in some cases "bricked"—rendered completely inoperable—following the update. In response to the complaints, Riot said on Reddit that "overall, the rollout has gone well," and that "fewer than 0.03% of players have reported issues with Vanguard." It also said that after resolving "a few of the major threads" about PCs being bricked, it has confirmed that Vanguard wasn't actually the cause."About ~0.7% of the playerbase bypassed Microsoft’s enforcement for TPM 2.0 when they installed Windows 11, but the rollout of Vanguard requires that those players now enable it to play the game," Riot said. "This requires a change to a BIOS setting, which differs based on the manufacturer. Vanguard does not and cannot make changes to the BIOS itself." TPM (Trusted Platform Module) 2.0 is a security feature that was made mandatory for Windows 11—sort of. There was initially confusion about whether "older" PCs would support it and if TPM 2.0 was actually required at all ahead of the Windows 11 rollout, and then Microsoft muddied the waters further by telling people how to bypass it completely while upgrading from Windows 10 to Win11. As we noted at the time, the whole thing was confusing and frustrating, but it did open an avenue to a Windows 11 upgrade for people who didn't have, or didn't enable, TPM 2.0 support on their PCs. Unfortunately, that avenue has now led here. Microsoft allowed people to bypass TPM 2.0, but Riot will not: The League of Legends support page states that "if TPM 2.0 is disabled in Windows 11, League of Legends will not properly launch, and players will be greeted with a VAN9001 error." Complaints about hardware being bricked are a rare occurrence that arises from a couple of very specific scenarios, according to Riot. Many motherboard manufacturers prompt users to switch to UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) mode when TPM 2.0 is enabled, but if your Windows 11 install is on an MBR (Master Boot Record) partition, it will not boot when that switch is made: To support UEFI mode, Windows 11 must be installed on a GPT (GUID Partition Table) partition. The good news is, Microsoft offers a free tool that will convert MBR disks to GPT in most cases without requiring a reformat.There's also an issue with Secure Boot, a technology meant to ensure that unvalidated software and firmware won't load. Vanguard uses the Secure Boot feature for Valorant but Riot opted not to enable it for Vanguard in League, because so many players of that game have older PCs (don't forget, League has been around since 2009) which have Secure Boot compatibility problems. As an example, Riot said that if a GPU's option ROM isn't signed, enabling Secure Boot—as at least one player apparently did—will prevent it from rendering anything. If that happens, the only solutions are to connect your monitor to your integrated graphics card (if you have one) and then disable Secure Boot in the BIOS, or to pull your CMOS battery in order to reset everything back to default settings. As an old-timer this all has a very "yes, PC gaming" vibe to it, but for anyone not familiar with the joys of wrangling jumpers to avoid IRQ conflicts (ie., most people), it's a very real roadblock (and annoyance) to run into one of these issues. Finding solutions is a challenge in itself, especially if your PC isn't working, and even when potential fixes are found, fiddling with BIOS settings and yoinking CMOS batteries aren't things that everyone is going to be comfortable doing. As one redditor put it in response to Riot's guidance, "Holy hell, how is a regular player supposed to understand this?"Riot actually addressed this possibility a few weeks ago in a blog post ahead of Vanguard's arrival in League, saying that while Microsoft's enforcement of the TPM 2.0 requirement in Windows 11 is "relatively weak and easily bypassable." Riot opted to be more serious about it: "So, a select few Windows 11 users may find their ability to play League is impacted," Riot wrote, "especially if you modified registry keys to bypass this requirement." And there's apparently no intention of walking it back. In response to a player who said their only option to continue playing League is to either downgrade to Windows 10 or buy a whole new PC, Riot said simply, "It is required to have TPM 2.0 enabled on Windows 11." As for why Riot has opted to add a new and very unpo[CENSORED]r anti-cheat technology to a 15-year-old game, the studio said in the pre-release blog post that while League "is a fairly secure videogame," scripting is a persistent problem: Globally, 1 in 15 games were found to have a botter or scripter in it in recent months, and Riot said that percentage is much higher in some regions. "Increased client security and less scripting means that the League team will be able to leverage more mechanically rewarding designs, like combos, timing windows, and executes," Riot said. "Ranked statistics won't be as poisoned by scripters, facilitating easier balancing of high risk-and-reward champions, and games ruined by cheaters can eventually be 'undone,' returning LP to those affected. "I know it's hard to be delighted about new anti-cheat, but this is the hardest part. It's only up and to the right from here." Well, for most players, anyway. In the same thread, Riot said Vanguard "does not take a screenshot of your whole computer/multiple monitors," although it will take a shot of game clients "for suspicious activity related to ESP hacks," something it said almost all anti-cheat software does and that's in full compliance with regional privacy laws. I've reached out to Riot for more information on how it aims to address these problems going forward and will update if I receive a reply.Andy has been gaming on PCs from the very beginning, starting as a youngster with text adventures and primitive action games on a cassette-based TRS80.
