    Default Early buyers flock to iPhone 14 Pro models

    According to Ming-Chi Kuo, a renowned Apple analyst, the company's first wave of orders will be majorly dominated by the iPhone 14 Pro models. That's 85% to be exact. And the iPhone 14 Plus option will account for less than 5% of the sales. That's the same kind of sales performance that got the mini line cancelled.Early data on offline pre-order in China show exactly that and Kuo says that this is usually the case with early sales. However, this year the sales allocation of the Pro options is a bit higher than in previous years. This is likely because of the bigger feature disparity...

    All Apple iPhone 14 models come with 6GB RAM
    In the past two years, one of the many ways Apple differentiated its Pro and non-Pro iPhones was RAM capacity. The iPhone 12 and 12 mini each had 4GB RAM while the 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max were equipped with 6GB RAM. The same scenario was played last year with the 13 mini and iPhone 13 again used 4GB RAM whereas the 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max held the upper hand with 6GB RAM.iPhone 14 lineup in all its colorsNow, Xcode 14 beta confirmed that all iPhone 14 models get 6GB RAM.

    Default iPhone 14 earns a 7/10 score on iFixit thanks to new back assembly

    One of the lesser known hardware features of the new iPhone 14 is the fact that the back glass is now easier to repair. Even though the casing is carried over from last year’s iPhone 13, the regular iPhone 14 can be opened from the front and back while all other iPhones since the iPhone 5 days required you to first take off the screen and made cracked back repairs a nightmare. The team over at iFixit revealed all the details about opening up the new iPhone 14 in their teardown and it’s quite an interesting look.

    DxOMark CEO says brands won’t send in a device if it isn’t likely to rank first
    DxOMark is an independent organization that evaluates and assesses smartphones, lenses, and cameras. Many flagship smartphones receive photography, videography, and overall scores from DxOMark.

    Details on what could be the Snapdragon 7 Gen 2 surface
    The Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 has been used in only a couple of phones so far, falling well short of the popularity of the 700-series chips that preceded it. Qualcomm has a new 7-series chip in the works, the SM7475, though its position in the Snapdragon family is not quite clear. This could be the Snapdragon 7 Gen 2 or it could be labeled 7+ Gen 1. The CPU will have a tri-cluster design with 1x Prime, 3x Gold and 4x Silver cores. Leakster Roland Quandt reports on the peak core frequencies for those clusters.

    Production of iPhone 14 costs 20% more than iPhone 13
    Nikkei Asia revealed component prices for the latest iPhones soared 20%, reaching an all-time high. Production of the iPhone 14 Pro Max costs $501, a huge increase from the $461 cost of its predecessor, and the main reason is the A16 Bionic chip, costing $110 alone. Prices for the Pro Max model have varied between $400 and $450 since the introduction of the model in 2018, Nikkei wrote. The news website made the logical assumption that if Apple is taking a hit in the manufacturing cost while not touching its US prices, the company is likely to get a hit in profits.

    Default Google confirms that the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro are 64-bit only

    All Android devices that support 64-bit apps have also supported legacy 32-bit apps. In the Android Developers Blog, Google confirms that the Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro are the first Android phones to exclusively support 64-bit apps. Google explains there are a few benefits to dropping support for 32-bit apps. Not only does it reduce RAM usage, but it also improves performance and security. Google expects that over time, devices without support for 32-bit apps will be increasingly common.

    The upcoming Xiaomi 13 Lite has been spotted in the IMEI database today, bearing the model number 2210129SG. The fact that a 13 Lite is in the works is no surprise whatsoever, we always assumed the 12 Lite would have a successor. Its model number, though, is very intriguing. That's because just last week the same model number was seen in another database, where its name was said to be Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G NE when it does eventually launch. This got us thinking that there are only a few options that explain what's going on here. Maybe Xiaomi decided upon one of these two names first, and...

    Another week down, this one culminating in some Black Friday madness, so let's recap. Vivo unveiled the X90 series, starting with China. The vivo X90 Pro+, X90 Pro, and X90 share a lot of similarities but also some differences - the flagship X90 Pro+ has a 50.3MP 1.0-inch type main camera, a 64MP 90mm 3.5x zoom, a 50mm 2x zoom, and a 48MP ultrawide, as well as a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset.

    Weekly poll results: flagship chipsets still matter, but most people don't need the latest one
    The result from last week’s poll shows that more than half of our readers think flagship chipsets are an important consideration when picking out the next phone. Not everyone cares if it’s the latest flagship chip, however. In fact, most prefer to get an older version as those tend to offer far better value for money.It takes a while for mid-range chips to catch up to the CPU, GPU and ISP performance of a former top of the line chip. For example, a Snapdragon 855 powered phone from 2020 still has a faster GPU than a phone with the Snapdragon 778G. The 778G remains a popular choice that...
