Rumors have been circulating about Apple finally jumping into the foldable smartphone market for quite some time, and now we are hearing that production has begun on the display that will be featured in the first foldable iPhone set to launch next year alongside the iPhone 18 series.

Reports from MacRumors state the first foldable iPhone displays are being produced by Samsung Display, which has created a dedicated production line for the upcoming device at its A3 factory in Asan, Chungcheongnam-do. This production line at the factory will be dedicated to creating the new foldable OLED displays headed to the first foldable iPhone, with the facility being capable of producing as many as 15 million displays per year, exceeding Apple's requirements for fulfilling potential orders of the device throughout 2026.

Notably, Samsung Display has reportedly secured an agreement with Apple to provide foldable displays to the smartphone company for at least two years. Typically, Apple likes to diversify its supply chain, but since Samsung Display has unique expertise in foldable display technology due to the company offering its own foldable smartphones since 2019, Apple has reportedly agreed to sign on for a prolonged period of time.

SilverStone's new Seta H2 full-tower workstation chassis is in many ways a PC case from a different era, albeit one that still has room to fit a high-end GeForce RTX 50 Series GPU and multiple 140mm fans and radiators. What makes it stand out is that it features 15 drive bays for both 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch HDDs, offering a substantial amount of storage potential for a single chassis.

This makes it rather large, with a 70-liter capacity, and features a minimal design that prioritizes a sleek mesh-panel presentation over modern panoramic glass views. And if you're wondering how a full-tower case manages to squeeze in 15 drive bays, the image above showcases the entire layout, featuring 11 x 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch combo bays, 1 x 3.5-inch or 2 x 2.5-inch slots behind the motherboard tray, and 2 x 2.5-inch drives above that.

Granted, you'd probably need a lot of storage to make use of a case like this, as most modern PCs for gaming and content creation typically utilize multiple on-board PCIe SSD storage slots on a motherboard, with perhaps one or two additional drives on top of that.

An individual claiming to have worked on early builds of the upcoming Naughty Dog game "Intergalactic" has said the new game is like The Last of Us Part II meets Dark Souls in terms of the open world, but has combat similar to God of War 2018.

The individual took to 4Chan to drop the information, meaning take the following information with a healthy amount of skepticism as it isn't coming from a reputable source. The leaker says they tested Intergalactic on PS5 Pro dev kits, and that players should think about the open-world as a "nest sandbox," with big areas with layers of traversal, not the open-world experience found in Ubisoft games. The leaker adds there will be planetside traversal, which includes a mix of gliders, parkour, and "faith anchors," which the protagonist can link to and unlock fast travel checkpoints.

The leaker goes on to mention the combat, saying it feels "very good" and has "satisfying feedback". Adding players will be comboing enemies through stringing together basic attacks, jumps, and dashes. There is also the inclusion of a weak point mechanic, with the leaker saying the protagonist can use the pistol seen in the trailer to target weak points, "some of which can be seen while the enemy attacks." Additionally, players will be able to "break limbs to handicap enemies and use special tools to inflict unique status" effect damage.

The original Doom from 1993 not only helped define a new genre and a decade of gaming, but it has gone on to become one of the most widely ported games of all time. And that's without counting all of the unofficial ports of Doom that have brought it everything from a calculator to a heart monitor and Samsung washing machines.

During the 1990s, the game was a cultural phenomenon. A defining moment for PC gaming, the original Doom also made its way to consoles like the 32X add-on for the Sega Genesis, the Sony PlayStation, the ill-fated Atari Jaguar, and the 16-bit icon that was the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, or SNES.

Although the SNES was a pioneer in 3D gaming, thanks to the likes of Star Fox and the SuperFX chip, bringing Doom to the console was still considered an "impossible port." Fast forward to 2025, and the original programmer Randal Linden, Limited Run Games, and Bethesda have teamed up to deliver the definitive Doom for the SNES. And yes, it arrives on a cartridge that you can slot into the 16-bit console.

NASA's Mario Rana spied a bright flash on Saturn last week over the weekend, marking the first time astronomers have spotted an object slamming into Saturn in real-time.

The volunteer astronomer at NASA's Planetary Virtual Observatory and Laboratory (PVOL) was using the telescope to image Saturn when they reported seeing a bright flash of light at around 09:00 UTC. As soon as the flash was detected, Rana put out the word to the astronomy community to see if anyone else saw what they just saw, specifically for more images or footage of the event.

Notably, Saturn, being a gas giant, doesn't exhibit any craters or scars from astronomical collisions such as this, making it hard to determine the size of the object or even if the event took place. Saturn's turbulent atmosphere of hydrogen and helium essentially swallows any evidence of a collision, with any remaining evidence being quickly swirled around in the thick outer layers of the planet. For this reason, it's remarkable that seemingly an object was caught slamming into the planet in real-time.

OpenAI is on the verge of releasing its own web browser in a bout to challenge the market-dominating browser, Google Chrome.

A new report from Reuters claims to have obtained information that OpenAI will be releasing this new browser within the "coming weeks," and that it will directly integrate OpenAI services such as ChatGPT in an effort to fundamentally change how people browse the internet. Why does OpenAI want its own web browser? All artificial intelligence tools need data to be trained on, and one of the biggest troves of user data is in web browsers, particularly Google Chrome.

According to the report, OpenAI's web browser will be Chromium-based, meaning it's built on the foundations of Google Chrome. By doing this, OpenAI will be getting direct access to Google's user data, and if the 400 million weekly active users of ChatGPT transition over to the new browser, it will take a significant chunk out of Chrome's 3.45 billion monthly users.

The new PNY GeForce RTX 5050 Single Fan Graphics Card is one of the smallest desktop RTX GPUs, measuring just 146.7mm in length. The entry-level GPU from NVIDIA targets 1080p gaming performance, with DLSS 4, while also bringing the latest generation of hardware encoders and decoders to the compact home theater and content creator PC market.

The dual-slot single-fan PNY GeForce RTX 5050, alongside the company's GeForce RTX 5060 variant, is small enough to fit inside even the most compact case, thanks to its 130W power rating, heatsink, and optimized fan, ensuring it runs cool even during intense gaming sessions. Essentially, it resembles a dual-fan GPU cut in half, with the single 8-pin power connector positioned closer to the PCIe bracket than to the rear.

Port-wise, it's your typical GeForce RTX 50 Series GPU, featuring three DisplayPort 2.1 ports and a single HDMI 2.1 port. One of the most significant differences between NVIDIA's entry-level GeForce RTX 5050 and its counterparts is that it features the fewest CUDA Cores of the entire line-up. It has 8GB of older GDDR6 memory, whereas all other models utilize the faster and newer GDDR7 memory.

As far as overclocked DDR5 desktop memory goes, DDR5-6000 is widely seen as the new sweet spot offering excellent speed and performance for both AMD and Intel CPU owners. As far as capacity goes, 32GB or 64GB kits are what you'd find in most places, with very few options pushing capacities higher than that.

This makes G.SKILL's latest announcement the sort of headline that will prompt a double-take: two new ultra-high overclocked DDR5 memory kits - DDR5-6000 CL32 256GB (64 GB x 4) and DDR5-6400 CL36 128GB (64 GB x 2) memory kits.

Yes, 256GB of fast G.SKILL DDR5 memory sounds very impressive; however, the company notes that these kits are primarily intended for content creators, high-performance computing, and AI applications where system memory makes a significant difference in the sorts of workloads a rig is capable of running.

Apple's upcoming ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air smartphone will reportedly have 12GB of RAM, up from the 8GB of RAM in previous rumors.

The new ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air with 12GB of RAM will bring it closer to the higher-end iPhone 17 Pro, which is said to have 12GB of RAM. The new rumors suggest that the base models will continue on with 8GB of RAM, while the iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and flagship iPhone 17 Pro Max will all have 12GB of RAM.

Weibo-based leaker "Fixed Focus Digital" says that the three higher-end iPhone 17 smartphones will have 12GB of RAM, while the base iPhone 17 sports 8GB of RAM. This creates a much wider gap between the non-Pro iPhones, as the iPhone 16 Plus featured the same A-series processor and RAM configuration as the base iPhone 16.

The ASUS ROG Ally gaming handheld has been modded, adding much more battery life thanks to the use of the ROG Strix G15 gaming laptop battery, and an SSD update. Check it out:

In a new video from YouTuber Miner TechTips, he upgraded the 2023 ASUS ROG Ally gaming handheld to the ROG Ally X specs. The original ROG Ally features a 40Wh battery, but he replaced it with a 90Wh battery that he used from an ASUS ROG Strix G15 gaming laptop.

The modification to the ASUS ROG Ally required physically replacing the battery, but because of its far larger size, he 3D-printed a custom back panel. The additional space allowed the YouTuber to upgrade the SSD to a full M.2 2280 form factor SSD, using a special 90-degree bracket.

Chinese AI companies want to secure 115,000 NVIDIA AI GPUs to power new data centers in the desert, in the middle of US export restrictions stopping high-end AI chips from entering China.

In a new report from Bloomberg, we're hearing that futuristic structures are data centers that Chinese AI companies want to equip with high-end American semiconductors, chips that the US government doesn't want China to obtain. Bloomberg News has analyzed investment approvals, tender documents, and company filings that show Chinese AI companies aim to install over 115,000 of NVIDIA's high-end AI GPUs.

The companies want to install the AI chips in over 36 data centers across China's western deserts, with operators in Xinjiang planning to house most of the AI chips in a single compound, which, if achieved, could be used to train foundational LLMs (large language models) like those of Chinese AI startup DeepSeek.

Apple is reportedly set to introduce a Vision Pro successor this year, with performance improvements in the use of its newer M4 processor, improved AI functions, and a more comfortable strap.

In a new report from Mark Gurman inside his new PowerOn newsletter, we're hearing that the updated Vision Pro will sport a faster M4 processor and other components that can "better run" AI, according to the usual "people familiar with the matter". There will also be a new strap that will make it easier to wear the Vision Pro for longer periods of time.

These won't be the only upgrades Apple includes in a new Vision Pro headset, as there is a redesigned model coming in 2027 that "significantly reduces the weight of the headset" according to Gurman's sources. The initial upgrade to the Vision Pro headset will use the M4 processor that Apple has inside of its new iPad Pro, MacBook Pro, and iMac, representing a big upgrade in performance over the current Vision Pro which is powered by the M2 processor.

NVIDIA AI GPUs are being used as collateral for huge loans, with UK-based startup Fluidstack using its arsenal of NVIDIA AI chips to secure over $10 billion in loans.

In a new report from The Information picked up by insider @Jukanrosleve on X, we're hearing that in the past CoreWeave pioneered a new financial model by raising $9.9 billion in funding through GPU-backed financing to purchase AI chips and leasing them out to clients including OpenAI, effectively "paying off debt with GPUs".

Led by CoreWeave, multiple AI cloud computing startups are expanding their financing using high-performance AI chips as collateral, with the total loan volume exceeding $20 billion. However, there are potential risks involved with this financing model because of the short product lifecycle of NVIDIA GPUs which sees the AI chips depreciating rather quickly.

As for the movie, Superman hits theaters on July 11, directed by James Gunn, who was behind the camera for the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy when he was at Marvel.

Samsung has unveiled its new Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 foldable smartphones, with its new Galaxy Z Flip 7 featuring a bigger battery, a sleeker design, and powered by the company's new in-house Exynos 2500 processor.

The new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 smartphone has multiple new tweaks, with a sleek new design that has flat edges and rounded corners, measuring in at just 13.7mm thick folded and 6.9mm when unfolded. The new Galaxy Z Flip 7 weighs in at just 188g, making it a tiny bit heavier than the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and thinner.

Samsung's new Galaxy Z Flip 7 has a new cover display with a new 4.1-inch Super AMOLED Flex Window, while the main display has been increased from 6.7 inches on the Galaxy Z Flip 6 to a larger 6.9 inches on the new Galaxy Z Flip 7. It's also smoother with a 120Hz refresh rate, and higher peak brightness of up to 2600 nits.

Samsung has just unveiled its new Galaxy Z Fold 7 smartphone with a beautiful new design, which is thinner than the previous Galaxy Z Fold 6, with a bigger display, the lack of the S Pen, and powered by Qualcomm's flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite processor.

The new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 smartphone is now thinner than ever before at just 4.2mm when unfolded and only 8.9mm when folded, compared to the Galaxy Z Fold 6, which was much thicker at 12.1mm when folded. The new flagship foldable smartphone also weighs only 217g compared to the 239g of the Galaxy Z Fold 6.

Samsung has also boosted the size and resolution of the outer display, which is now wider with a 6.5-inch panel and 2520 x 1080 resolution, which makes it around the same aspect ratio as a regular smartphone. Inside, the inner display is 8 inches making it nearly as large as an Apple iPad mini 7, bridging the gap between a small tablet and smartphone.

Oblivion Remastered was surprise dropped on April 22 and gained a massive amount of attention from long-time fans of the series, and seemingly new players who have heard about the game that put Bethesda on the map, but couldn't play the original due to its age.

Bethesda gave Oblivion more than a facelift with its Remaster. The studio behind the overhaul, Virtuos, added new systems, modernized the combat, and added a pretty fresh coat of paint, breathing new life into the classic title. Most importantly, for players returning to the game, Virtuos captured the essence of what made Oblivion, Oblivion, keeping many of the same old bugs, quirks, and hidden elements.

However, there was a common complaint by players, and that revolved around the difficulty settings for the title, specifically the gulf between "Adept" and "Expert". Players reported there being an intense jump between these two difficulty settings, with Adept players reporting they want the combat to be a little bit more difficult, while Expert players are reporting that the combat is overwhelmingly difficult.

Some new research is suggesting that AI may cause burnout in employees who heavily use the tech.

A survey from the Upwork Research Institute (spotted by ZDNet) drew some interesting conclusions and highlighted a big difference in the impact of AI usage in staff members employed at a company versus freelancers.

There's a clear enough message that AI can help drive better productivity, with 77% of executives saying that they had observed gains in that department thanks to the tech, and employees estimating that they're 40% more productive using AI tools.
