Apple is already testing Chinese RAM, new report says

A few days ago some reports claimed Apple was considering using Chinese RAM from ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) and Yangtze Memory Technologies (YMTC). Today, a new report claims the company is already testing DRAM chips from CXMT. But there's a twist. Allegedly, Apple would only be using the Chinese-made RAM for devices it will sell in China. That might be a way to minimize the backlash that could ensue from the Trump administration, seeing as how the US government has added both CXMT and YMTC to its Entity List, which identifies companies that have ties to the Chinese...

Now, the reliable Digital Chat Station has reported that the next-gen triple foldable is coming in the second half of this year – and that it won’t be alone.

Kuo: iPhone Ultra may have limited supply at launch and ship later

The iPhone Ultra, Apple’s foldable phone, is rumored to go official in September alongside the iPhone 18 Pro lineup. However, a new report suggests the foldable iPhone won't be available for pre-orders immediately after its unveiling, with shipments likely to begin at a later date.

Weekly poll results: the Oppo Reno16 and Reno16 Pro are overpriced

The smartphone market is in for a rough time – zooming in on Oppo’s new Reno16 series gives us a preview of what is to come. The two phones are capable mid-rangers, but their flagship-level pricing could spell doom for them when it comes to sales. The Oppo Reno16 is in a worse spot than its Pro sibling. While it has mostly the same hardware, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 and the basic 50MP 1/1.95” main camera are a no-go for €900 (or even for €800, which is the discounted price that is available throughout July). The Oppo Reno16 Pro fares a bit better, but only a bit. Some people prefer it...
