Apple reverts China slump, sees first iPhone quarterly growth in two years [report]

For the past two years, Apple has been having a tough time in China. Just recently, the U.S. trade war and local incentives from the Chinese government really got in the way of iPhone sales. However, Apple seems to be regaining control of the situation. A two-year long downturn in China As we covered recently, Apple’s extended rough patch in China may finally be easing.

Report: Apple looked into building its own AWS competitor

The Information is out with an interesting report about how Apple has considered spinning up its own developer cloud services, in a move that would put it against some of its competitors’ biggest revenue streams. Here are the details. Project ACDC As reported by Aaron Tilley, Apple’s Project ACDC (which stands for Apple chips in data centers) would not be that different from Amazon’s AWS, Microsoft’s Azure, or Google’s Cloud Platform: “The idea discussed was for Apple to rent out servers runn

The tragedy of a niche product is if it sees any success, two things will happen. First, rivals big and small will copy its ideas. Then, to combat that existential threat and appease investors, there’ll be an appeal to the larger mass market. A handful of niche products survive the transition to the mainstream. Most don’t.

Nothing Says the Phone 3 Isn’t One Big Gimmick, but I’m Not So Sure

Nothing CEO Carl Pei wants you to know one thing: the startup’s smartphones aren’t just relying on a schtick. The Phone 3, which was finally unveiled this week after seemingly never-ending leaks and teasers, is being billed as the company’s “true flagship,” which means… to be honest, I don’t know what the hell it means. But it’s clear that Nothing sees it as its most premium phone yet, which is evident not just through its own messaging but also its starting price. The Phone 3 costs $800—more th

Ugh! Too Bad We Have to Wait 2 Months for the iPhone 17 and This Rumored Feature

Leaks about the iPhone 17 have been pouring in for more than a year. We've seen reports of a new selfie camera, faster MagSafe charging and a new purple (or green) color. We've even heard rumors that Apple might change how frequently it launches new iPhone models, from once a year to twice. But when the iPhone 16 debuted, there was criticism aimed at its screen. The phone starts at $829 and still has a 60Hz display, despite most phones from competitors having high-refresh-rate screens topping o

Android users can now (kinda) edit messages sent to iPhones, but not yet vice-versa

iPhones and Android smartphones started to play more nicely together after Apple finally opted to support the Rich Communication Services (RCS) standard. Prior to this, messages between the two platforms had to use the ancient and insecure text messaging service. Not all RCS features are supported as yet, with the all-important strong encryption waiting for RCS 3.0 support in iOS 26. Another RCS 3.0 feature is the ability to edit outgoing messages after sending them, and that one has started a

Tools: Code Is All You Need

Tools: Code Is All You Need If you've been following me on Twitter, you know I'm not a big fan of MCP right now. It's not that I dislike the idea; I just haven't found it to work as advertised. In my view, MCP suffers from two major flaws: It isn’t truly composable. Most composition happens through inference. It demands too much context. You must supply significant upfront input, and every tool invocation consumes even more context than simply writing and running code. A quick experiment make

Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 get another appearance before launch, this time with cases

Ringke TL;DR Casemaker Ringke has listed a range of cases for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7 before the official launch.

I replaced my 4K TV with a $350 tri-fold projector for a week - here's my buying advice now

ZDNET's key takeaways The Aurzen Zip is currently available for $349 on Amazon. Its design and construction give it a premium feel, and the ability to project at various angles.

Finally, Bluetooth trackers for Android users that beat out my AirTags (and cost less)

ZDNET's key takeaways The Chipolo One Point and Card Point normally retails for $26 and $24, respectively. They're highly accurate, robust, and integrate well into the Google ecosystem. However, the One is only splashproof, and the Card version has a non-user-replaceable battery. $28 at Amazon For a limited time, you can pick up the Chpolo One Point for as little as $21 on Amazon and other major retailers. AirTags are one of the things that have set the Apple ecosystem apart from the Android

Building Linux kernel on macOS natively

I've recently added a Linux compatibility layer to Starina operating system based on a lightweight VM approach similar to WSL2. I can cross-compile its init program with Cargo. I can prepare a container image contents using skopeo. However, I need to build the genuine Linux kernel, preferably on my daily driver: macOS. The most common way to build Linux kernel on macOS would be using Docker Desktop, and that works fine. I know nobody need to build on macOS natively, but it looked possible - th

How Much Will the iPhone 17 Cost? End of Tariff Pause Puts $2,400 in Play

The rumored iPhone 17 is likely to cost more than the iPhone 16. Let's just get that out of the way up front. But why it may cost more -- and how much more -- is still in question. President Donald Trump's self-imposed deadline of July 9 for the "reciprocal tariff" pause could finally cap his months-long trade roller coaster, which has resulted so far in tentative trade deals with Vietnam, the UK and China. However, there's still plenty up in the air, including how tariffs could impact a new iP

I'm Rethinking My Upgrade Based on These 5 iPhone 17 Pro Max Rumors

I've always been on team Regular Size when it comes to iPhone Pro models, even in years when the larger Pro Max models have gained exclusive features, like the 5x telephoto "tetraprism" camera in the iPhone 15 Pro Max (which expanded to both models in the iPhone 16 Pro). Despite the more expansive screen size, the Max has always seemed too bulky to carry around all day. But a host of rumored features and design changes for the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro Max has me weighing the benefits of embracing
