The Chinese social platform plays host to a post about the A11 chipset and the boastful claim that it will outdo all other chips for at least a year.

While Apple is widely expected to skip its traditional fall iPad release this year, most likely waiting until spring 2017 to roll out a trio of Pro models with Smart Keyboard compatibility shared between them, the Cupertino-based OEM’s SoC roadmap will probably undergo little to no change.The 7.9, 10.1 and 12.9-inch next-gen iPad Pros are tipped to pack an “X” upgrade of the in-house-designed, TSMC-manufactured A10 ...
The post First Apple A10X benchmark scores are purportedly here, and surprise, they top the A10’s appeared first on Pocketnow.
The iPhone supply chain in Taiwan is warming up to making more parts for the new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. And there’s plenty to warm up, too, if we go by some new benchmark numbers.But let’s start with a report from Digitimes claiming that Apple has upped its orders for iPhone components by 10 percent. The company seemingly has a more upbeat attitude about iPhone shipments in ...

While you may have been under the impression Apple develops A-series system-on-chips for iPhone and iPad use in-house, these important smartphone and tablet components are actually outsourced to companies like TSMC or Samsung, with Cupertino merely in charge of their designs.From a certain perspective, it makes sense to commission different suppliers for the same part inside a single generation of an iDevice, but even after last year’s “Chipgate” was disputed by reputable organizations, iFans were left wishing

Just as we’re talking about the A10 chip that’s going to go in the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone Pro … okay, we’re not exactly sure about that last one, but of course we’d have to be crazy not to look forward to next year’s iPhone.Industry sources are reporting to Digitimes out of ...

And so another bank has plopped another paper about another iPhone and another claim’s been introduced about this one manufacturer that’s going to be making all the chipsets for another iPhone. In case you need reminding, those who have cheered this development have been immersed in another “-gate” saga.Swiss banking firm UBS, in its ...
The post UBS sees TSMC A10 processors in the iPhone 7 appeared first on Pocketnow.
Is the fact that the A9 SoC powering Apple’s latest iPhones is fabricated by two different companies, using two different processes, a big deal or not? Early reports claimed significant differences in power consumption between the Samsung-made and TSMC-made versions of the A9, but not all tests agree on those results, and the actual user impact of the issue is looking to be much more minor than first claimed. So while
The post Apple could go single-manufacturer with A10 chip for next year’s iPhone appeared first on Pocketnow.
We never stop looking ahead to the next device. We entertained the thought of the Samsung Galaxy S7 over the summer, for goodness sakes! But with a slew of new Apple products released onto the world featuring variations of Apple’s A9 processor, we might be getting sick of the silicon’s relatively faster performance already. We already had some word that TSMC could be the exclusive provider for the A10 chipset when it was finalized, but this rumor from an apparently reputable source is reopening ...

What is it about today and Android OEMs introducing low-to-mid-end tablet hardware? We got the ball rolling this morning with Samsung and the launch of its three new Galaxy Tab4 models, and now we see Lenovo stepping up with an assortment of its own, revealing four new Android tablets. First we have the A7-30 and A7-50, and truth be told, we’re not entirely clear how they differ. We have a full set of specs for the A7-50, which will feature a seven-inch 1024 x 600 display, ...
The post Lenovo intros set of four new A-series Android tablets appeared first on Pocketnow.
Smartphones are great and useful tools, but until you get a bigger screen on them, they’re never going to replace your laptop computer. Tablets are gaining in popularity and in functionality. They’re doing so well, in fact, that many smartphone makers are pushing the limits of what can be called a “phone” by making screens bigger — much bigger. At Pocketnow we call them “phablets”. When we started we were sort of making fun of the huge-screened phones, but despite our mocking, the phrase suck — and we learned that, when done right, phablets ...
The post What Android laptops need to succeed appeared first on .
There’s no shortage of Android tablets out there, and more than a few supporting official add-on keyboards (to say nothing of the generic Bluetooth keyboards one could connect to any model). But we haven’t seen a huge number of devices we might call Android laptops: those with their keyboards permanently attached. Well – at least not from major manufacturers, at least. Still, there’s been the odd model now and then, and we’ve even heard that Google might be planning to release such a device. Today ...

Remember the rumored and leaked BlackBerry A10? Well, it turns out that it might end up being the BlackBerry Z30 and we’ve heard and seen quite a number of reports recently concerning this device. The phone might have gotten some early hands-on treatment in the video below. There’s an AT&T logo visible on the back of this prototype and reports claim that the phone might pack a five-inch 720p AMOLED display, dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon ...
The post BlackBerry Z30 caught on camera? appeared first on .
Back in early June, we heard rumors about a new BlackBerry 10 model that would be the first to arrive from the manufacturer’s so-called A-series, possibly launching as the A10. What was so interesting about this theory was that the A10 wouldn’t be a new budget device, but a flagship to take the place of the Z10. We’ve seen a few leaks since then of hardware that could be this A10, but could we be getting this news all wrong? What if this device is really going to arrive ...
