Apple has now released iOS 18.1 and iPadOS 18.1, along with macOS Sequoia 15.1. The thing all of these software releases have in common is the presence of the first Apple Intelligence features. For now, these features can be accessed "in most regions around the world", Apple says, when the device and Siri language are set to US English. Those regions don't seem to include the EU, however - at least not for iOS and iPadOS. Apple says Mac users in the EU can access Apple Intelligence in US English with macOS Sequoia 15.1. Apple Intelligence will become available to iPhone and iPad users in...
Google's Pixel Watch 5 might get a custom Tensor chip, giving up on Qualcomm as a supplier. This makes sense since Google is also using Tensor chips for its Pixel smartphones, but interestingly the switch will only happen in 2026, so the Pixel Watch 4 will presumably still use a Qualcomm SoC. That said, the roadmap document that this leak is based on is itself from early 2023, which means a lot could have changed from then and up until now, keep that in mind. Google Pixel Watch 3 Now, this Tensor chip's CPU would have one Cortex-A78 core and two Cortex-A55 cores, according to the...

Apple has announced an updated iMac as part of a series of Mac-focused announcements over the course of this week. The first announcement gives the company's all-in-one desktop PC a shot in the arm in the form of an update processor and new colors. The new 2024 iMac is now built on the company's latest Apple M4 chipset.

Google's Pixel 11, coming in 2026, is now rumored to resurrect a feature last seen on the Pixel 4 from 2019. Google is apparently considering adding an under-display infrared camera to the Pixel 11 generation, thus enabling secure face unlocking. The last time a Pixel had something like that was in 2019 with the Pixel 4. Google then gave up on the feature, only to now be thinking about reintroducing it in a new vein (this is something the company does do a lot). While the Pixel 4 had to have a massive top bezel for its screen to accommodate the tech, the Pixel 11 will place the IR camera...

It's been more than seven years since Nintendo released the original Switch portable gaming console, and the company has long been rumored to be working on a successor. In fact, Nintendo itself confirmed as much, promising it would be revealed by the end of March. Now a new rumor claims the announcement might happen much sooner than that - today or tomorrow, actually. That's because a source billed as "reasonably credible" says Nintendo's current lineup is weak ahead of its investor conference on November 5, and so the company could use this announcement to make itself more interesting for...
