Apple’s iPhone 12 handsets are expected to be powered by a new A14 chipset. We expect that the upgrade will introduce a bunch of changes and improvements over its predecessor, but exactly by how much are we looking at? Turns out that the A14 could prove to be a rather substantial upgrade.

This is according to TSMC who recently published some details about their 5nm chip manufacturing process, which the A14 is largely expected to be based on. The numbers might not be 100% the same, but it could paint us a picture of roughly what we might be able to expect from it.

In terms of power, the A14 will apparently be 30% more efficient than the A13, which is built on the 7nm process. It will also offer up to 15% more power, but like we said, it is unclear if the A14 will offer up similar numbers or if it could be somewhere in the middle. The interesting part is in the power efficiency, especially in the face of the rumors that the iPhone 12’s battery could be disappointing.

By improving the power efficiency, it could offset any negative changes to the iPhone 12’s battery size. In any case, we’ll have to wait and see for ourselves so hopefully Apple will have something to announce in the coming month or two.

This Is How Well Apple’s A14 Chipset Will Perform

The other day, Corning unveiled their latest Gorilla Glass which comes in the form of Victus. This is supposed to be the company’s toughest Gorilla Glass yet, but of course the company would say that, right? Turns out that they weren’t just making empty claims, at least that’s what the video above by PhoneBuff has confirmed.

In the video above, the folks at PhoneBuff decided to test which smartphone was the strongest when it comes to drop test, so they decided to test the iPhone 11 Pro Max against the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, which is the first smartphone that uses the new Victus glass display cover.

From what we can tell, Victus is incredibly tough. Now obviously the Victus glass isn’t going to be invulnerable to drops or damage, but it seems to hold up incredibly  well against the iPhone. While it did crack, it did not crack quite as badly as Apple’s current flagship. However, when they tested dropping the phone flat on its face, that’s when things got even more impressive.

It seems that even after 10 drops on its face, there were no visible cracks on the Note 20 Ultra’s display. While we wouldn’t recommend that you go and try this for yourself, it is good to know that even if you were to accidentally drop your Note 20 Ultra, it will survive.

Almost all major camera makers have, by now, announced one form of software or another that turns a select number of their cameras into hi-res webcams. The motivation behind this push is hardly any secret as anyone and everyone tries to ride the Zoom wave. Unfortunately but unsurprisingly, only a few camera models are supported and most of them start … Continue reading
