Huawei’s revival was supposed to hurt the iPhone in China, the world’s largest smartphone market and an important one for Apple. However, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday that Chinese iPhone shipments rose about 12% in March. It should be noted that to achieve this level of growth, retailers in the country had to cut prices on the device. Data from the Chinese government shows that shipments of foreign-branded smartphones, a category that is made up of mostly iPhone models, reached 3.75 million units in March.The roughly 12% increase during March in the shipments of foreign-branded smartphones in China was a huge…

Priced at an extremely reasonable $450 and up, the Galaxy Tab S9 FE truly seemed like the perfect mid-range tablet from the day it first went on sale around six months ago.

Staying away from your phone right before bed is tough, but as most of us know, that late-night scrolling can seriously derail your sleep. This is why so many smartphones nowadays provide some sort of Digital Wellbeing app, such as the one Google currently has, that helps you combat this by implementing a “bedtime mode” feature. Every OEM has their own take on it, but the most helpful are the ones that include additional options to not just quiet your phone down, but also to adjust your screen settings to minimize blue light exposure.Now, As discovered by Mishaal Rahman in…
While the previous model, released in 2020, amazed the research community with its ability to predict proteins structures, researchers have been clamoring for the tool to handle more than just proteins. Now, DeepMind says, AlphaFold 3 can predict the structures of DNA, RNA, and molecules like ligands, which are essential to drug discovery. DeepMind says the tool provides a more nuanced and dynamic portrait of molecule interactions than anything previously available. “Biology is a dynamic system,” DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis told reporters on a call. “Properties of biology emerge through the interactions between different molecules in the cell, and you…

A technology that sees the world from different angles We are not there yet. The furthest advances in this direction have occurred in the fledgling field of multimodal AI. The problem is not a lack of vision. While a technology able to translate between modalities would clearly be valuable, Mirella Lapata, a professor at the University of Edinburgh and director of its Laboratory for Integrated Artificial Intelligence, says “it’s a lot more complicated” to execute than unimodal AI. In practice, generative AI tools use different strategies for different types of data when building large data models—the complex neural networks that…
