techcrunch.com Sean O'Kane 2025-07-27 17:02:50

Uber has struck another deal with a robotaxi provider, and this time it’s with Chinese tech giant Baidu.

Those deployments will start in Asia and the Middle East later this year, the companies said. Uber has been on a tear of AV partnerships lately as it

gizmodo.com Bruce Gil 2025-07-27 21:25:49

It’s been a very busy week for Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. After meeting with President Donald Trump and senior officials in Beijing in recent days, Huang has secured a major victory for his AI-chip empire. On Monday, Nvidia announced that the U.S. government will allow it to resume sales of its H20 AI chips in China. The company still needs to secure official licensing approval from the Trump administration, but officials have reportedly assured Nvidia “that licenses will be granted.” The company

Base model iPhone 17 may be more powerful than previously suggested

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-07-27 23:59:45

Back in May, analyst Jeff Pu suggested that while the iPhone 17 Pro models would get an A19 Pro chip, and the iPhone 17 Air would get an A19, the base model would get the same A18 chip as the iPhone 16. In a note seen by 9to5Mac, Pu now says the supply chain evidence suggests he was wrong, and that the base iPhone 17 will get the same A19 chip as the Air – but with one significant difference … Previous report We’re of course expecting Apple to introduce a new A19 chip for this year’s iPhones,

iPhone Fold could be cheaper than the Galaxy Z Fold 7 or 8

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-07-28 11:19:36

TL;DR Apple could achieve a lower iPhone Fold manufacturing cost, allowing for a price under $2,000. The iPhone Fold could cost about 4% less to manufacture than the China-exclusive Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition from last year. This is likely possible with Apple opting for smaller screens and emphasizing less on sleekness than Samsung. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is an exquisite foldable phone, but its $2,000 price likely makes it unreachable for many. While Apple is expected to enter the seg

How to fix an iPhone alarm that's not going off - and why it might be happening

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET I started noticing something very annoying at the beginning of the year: I'd set my iPhone alarm for 7 a.m., only to sleep right through it.
