Ready for 6G? Qualcomm has bad news for you

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon says early 6G devices could arrive “as early as 2028.” Amon and others expect 6G to play a key role in a future where AI is deeply ingrained in daily life. We’ve come to expect 5G connectivity and the high data speeds that it enables as standard features over the past few years. Naturally, that means we’re also looking forward to the next big thing in mobile connectivity: 6G. Yesterday, at the company’s annual Snapdragon Sum

Tired of 5G? Qualcomm Says 6G Will Be Here Before the End of the World

Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon told the assembled crowd at its Snapdragon Summit in Maui, Hawaii (full disclosure: travel and lodging were paid by Qualcomm, and Gizmodo did not guarantee any coverage as a condition of accepting the trip), that the world can set its watch and clear its calendar for the next generation of wireless connectivity. You’ll just have to wait a while. Currently, 5G and 4G LTE are the standard the world over. 6G could allow for faster internet speeds, and the first “pre-comm

The OnePlus 15 could put the Pixel 10 Pro to shame for base storage

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR The OnePlus 15 will apparently start at 12GB/256GB storage, all the way to 16GB/1TB. This means the phone will have more base storage than the Pixel 10 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro. The phone is also tipped to arrive in Purple and Titanium colors, in addition to the previously leaked Black option. The OnePlus 13 is one of our favorite Android phones of the year so far, but we’ve already seen plenty of leaks about a successor. Now, the latest leak has revealed ap

How much RAM do you actually need in 2025? I broke it down for Windows and Mac users

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways RAM is an important hardware resource that allows a computer to perform optimally and at fast speeds. Escalating computing demands have made 16GB of RAM the new standard for PCs and laptops if they are to continue performing at their best. Even then, 16GB of memory may not be enough for certain users, so it's important to know when to upgrade. I used to struggle when shopping for a new computer. Ove

Higher iPhone 17 prices, but Pro storage will start at 256GB, says leaker

A leaker with a decent track record has backed reports of higher pricing for the iPhone 17 line-up compared to the iPhone 16, but says that Apple will be cushioning the blow somewhat. The iPhone 16 Pro starts at 128GB flash storage, but the base iPhone 17 Pro is said to offer 256GB storage – effectively a $100 value … iPhone 17 price reports It’s been widely speculated that Apple will increase prices for this year’s iPhones, in order to cover the costs of US tariffs imposed on products manufa

The end is near for flagships with a meagre 128GB storage

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR The upcoming iPhone 17 Pro may start at 256GB of internal storage, eliminating the older 128GB option. A $50 price increase is expected alongside the bumped-up base storage tier. Apple’s move could pressure remaining Android flagships, such as the Galaxy S and Pixel lineups, to ditch low-storage models and finally start at 256GB. Android flagships have long moved to higher storage options, with many offering as much as 1TB of storage. While external stora

Wi-Fi Experts Reveal How Trump’s Budget Bill Could Slow Down Your Wi-Fi

You won’t find the term “Wi-Fi” anywhere in the text of President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill, but a provision authorizing the FCC to auction off spectrum could seriously impact speeds on newer Wi-Fi routers. Every wireless device, from garage door openers to baby monitors, relies on the electromagnetic spectrum to work. But that spectrum is a limited resource -- to open up capacity for one technology, you have to take it away from another. The latest generation of Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi

What Trump's 'big beautiful bill' means for Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 users (Hint: It's not pretty)

Francesco Carta fotografo/Getty Images I thought we'd dodged a networking bullet when the US Budget bill, aka the "One Big Beautiful Bill (BBB)," didn't include a freeze on AI regulation, which had been tied to broadband funding from the $42.5 billion Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program. However, I missed the point that the bill still includes provisions that could force the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to auction off significant portions of the 6GHz spectrum cur

Bought an Ampere Altra System

In the hunt for a development machine, I got to the next phase. I did some shopping, and there it is: my own Ampere Altra-based system. Why? As you may have read in my previous post, I used several AArch64 systems for local development. And the latest one, an Apple MacBook Pro, is nice and fast but has some limits — does not support 64k page size. Which I need for my work. Let’s go cheap So I have decided to buy myself an Ampere Altra system. As cheap as possible. AArch64 server parts The

Trump’s ‘big beautiful bill’ could mean slower Wi-Fi for you

The Senate version of the budget reconciliation bill, backed by President Donald Trump, removes protections for unlicensed spectrum that broadens the capacity of the 6GHz Wi-Fi band. This could result in slower Wi-Fi speeds. Under the bill, which may be voted on at the end of this week, the FCC would sell off some of that spectrum to mobile carriers such as AT&T, which could use it to improve the speed of their mobile data. The bill includes a provision requiring the FCC to auction 800MHz of sp

AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT PCIe Benchmark: 8GB vs. 16GB

On store shelves, AMD's Radeon RX 9060 XT looks like a compelling option for gamers. It's affordable, backed by a trusted brand, and appears well-equipped for modern gaming.
