iPhone 15 Pro models might still come with 8GB of RAM

The iPhone 15 series is expected to arrive next month, potentially on September 12 or 13. As far as we know, only the Pro models (iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max) will use the new Apple A17 Bionic chipset, while the non-Pro models will still rely on the A16. As per a previous insider tip, the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max were apparently still going to rock 6GB of RAM.

Android 14 to combat in-app full-screen ads better

Ad-supported apps and games are a great way to get a free yet still subsidized experience. However, not all ads are created equal and full-screen ones are definitely among the more annoying ones. Google has also zoned in on the particular issue, and Android 14 comes with a per-app management interface for full-screen intents. In Android 14, you can manually revoke the USE_FULL_SCREEN_INTENT permission from apps so they can't send you full-screen notifications. Later this year, Google Play will auto revoke this permission from newly installed apps that don't provide calling or alarm...

Samsung Galaxy Watch6 review

Introduction At first glance, Samsung was very docile with the upgrades to its Galaxy Watch6 series. But you could argue that there was very little wrong with the Galaxy Watch5 series and that all the upgrades we got were useful or thoughtful. The new watches use the new Exynos W930 chipset, which is nearly identical to last year's W920. Both are made on a 5nm process and have dual-core Cortex-A55 processors, but the new chip has a higher 1.4GHz clock speed, which Samsung says makes for an 18% increase in speed. The Watch6 series also bumps the RAM up to 2GB. On the software...

The Infinix ZeroBook 13 is the successor to the previous generation ZeroBook 12 model. If you’re wondering if the numbering stands for the generation of the notebook or the display size then it’s neither. Instead, the number refers to the generation of the Intel CPU inside, with the new ZeroBook 13 being equipped with Intel’s latest 13th gen models. The model we have here is the flagship in the series and also the most interesting one by far. Featuring a Core i9-13900H, 32GB memory, and 1TB SSD, the ZeroBook 13 is kitted out like a high-end notebook but comes in at an astonishing...
