The company is even working on its own Bluetooth and Wi-Fi solution, which is reportedly coming with new Home products and the iPhone 17 lineup in the Fall. One obvious benefit of developing chips in-house is energy efficiency. Apple toated this with the introduction of Apple Silicon what feels like a hundred years ago, and this week with its firs

Moroi is a top-down, dual-stick action and puzzle game set in a dungeon of surreal horrors, where each cell contains a unique and grotesque vignette. In the first area of the map, there’s a cell containing a sentient meat grinder that craves human flesh. In another, a dead man is strapped to a feeding tube that’s still pumping slop into his bulbous, pulsing stomach. The next room over, you meet a talking duck with far too many human te
