New Apple Card installment plans could make buying Apple gadgets easier
- Get a closer look at the PS5
- iPad Air 4 news and rumors
- Fake crowd noise on Sky
- Apple already offers an installment payment plan for the iPhone, but it could extend similar plans to all kinds of other Apple hardware in the near future – as long as you make your purchases through the Apple Card.
According to sources speaking to Bloomberg, the plans would be interest-free, giving you more time to pay off your latest Apple gadget purchases without penalizing you with interest repayments along the way.
Apparently the plan is to give customers 12 months to pay on more expensive items like Macs and iPads, while cheaper gadgets such as AirPods and the HomePod would be paid off over six months.

WhatsApp was exposing users' phone numbers in Google search
WhatsApp claims it fixed an issue that was showing users’ phone numbers in Google search results, TechCrunch reports. The change comes after security researcher Athul Jayaram revealed that phone numbers of WhatsApp users who used the Click to Chat feature were being indexed in search.
Click to Chat allows users to create a link with their phone number in plain text. According to Jayaram, because the links don’t have a robot.txt file in the server root, they cannot stop Google or other search engine bots from crawling and indexing the links. Jayaram says as many as 300,000 phone numbers may have appeared in Google search results, and they could be found by searching “site:wa.me.”
Cheap Samsung Galaxy Watch deals slash smartwatch prices in the US and UK
The latest Samsung Galaxy Watch deals are bringing cheap smartwatch prices to the Galaxy range of wearables this week. With sales across the US and UK discounting these iOS and Android compatible smartwatches and fitness trackers, there are plenty of opportunities to grab yours for less whichever side of the pond you find yourself on.
That means shoppers in the US can take advantage of a $50 discount on the 40mm Samsung Galaxy Watch Active right now, offering up a cheap smartwatch with bags of fitness features for under $120. In the UK, however, the Samsung Galaxy Watch is now £209 thanks to an £70 discount at Amazon this week. That's just £30 off the lowest price we've seen for this fantastic smartwatch, making this a steal if you missed out last time

Today,Today, Google is releasing the Android 11 beta for Pixel phones. It features a revamped notification system, a new power menu, and dozens of smaller tweaks. I’ve been using an early version of it provided to me by Google on my Pixel 4 XL for about a week now, and I’m already depending on some of its new features.
Android is a “mature” operating system, which is to say there aren’t a lot of obvious missing features. You might say that mature smartphone operating systems like Android and iOS have the opposite problem: too many features. So Android 11 doesn’t add a lot of new capabilities; instead, it tries to help you handle all of the things your phone already does. The job of a mature operating system is to manage complexity.
Here’s how the Android 11 beta tackles it......😎😎
Huawei's new flagship camera king, the P40 Pro+, is finally on its way to Europe, after having been announced back in March and subsequently going on sale in China not long ago.
These CPUs will power a new generation of ultraportable laptops.
Lakefield is a hybrid CPU using multiple heterogenous blocks across 3D stacked layers
- Lakefield CPUs have one high-performance core and four low-power cores
- Intel claims a massive reduction in idle power consumption
- The first Lakefield-based laptop will go on sale this month
Intel has announced its first hybrid CPUs that combine its high-power and low-power architectures, usually used in the separate Core and Atom product lines. The new 'Lakefield' CPU series models are targeted at ultra-portable laptops and new form factors including dual-screen and folding-screen models. Two CPUs have been announced, the new Intel Core i5-L16G7 and Core i3-L13G4, each with one high-power core and four high-efficiency cores. They will first be seen in Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Fold and Samsung Galaxy Book S. This is also the first consumer application of Intel's Feveros 3D stacking CPU construction technology.
Intel said in its announcement that the combination of these new developments allows for a CPU that is physically 56 percent smaller than current ones, leading to smaller motherboards, greater flexibility in PC design, and of course smaller and lighter devices. The chips consume as little as 2.5mW of power in standby, which Intel says is a 91 percent reduction compared to an 8th Gen Core i7 Y-series mobile CPU.
The Core i5-L16G7 and Core i3-L13G4 both feature one Sunny Cove core and four Tremont cores. Intel first announced Sunny Cove in late 2018, and it is the same architecture that underpins current 10th Gen 10nm 'Ice Lake' CPUs for laptops. Tremont is also a 10nm architecture and succeeds Intel's previous low-power designs found in Atom, Celeron and Pentium Silver CPUs in the desktop, server, and embedded spaces.
The new hybrid CPUs will be part of Intel's 10th Gen Core series alongside existing parts based on the Ice Lake and Comet Lake architectures. They will be differentiated by their numbering scheme, which shows the relative power of each CPU and its integrated graphics capabilities, mirroring the current Ice Lake laptop family. They will be officially described as "Intel Core processors with Intel Hybrid Technology".
Both new models have 7W TDP ratings and 4MB of cache memory. The Core i5-L16G7 has a base speed of 1.4GHz across all cores with single-core (the Sunny Cove core only) and all-core boost speeds of 3GHz and 1.8GHz respectively. It features 64 Gen11 graphics execution units. The Core i3-L13G4 runs at 800MHz with boost speeds of 2.8GHz and 1.3GHz respectively, and has 48 graphics execution units.
Intel promises a huge leap in graphics performance for the 7W TDP CPU segment. The Lakefield chips are also said to be the first with dual graphics pipelines, specifically optimised for multi-screen devices. On-chip AI inference extensions are also supported, like with Ice Lake On the platform level, there is support for Gigabit-class Wi-Fi 6 and LTE solutions and LPDDR4X-4267 RAM.
The Foveros 3D stacking technique allowed Intel to develop this modular design, leveraging blocks of technology with different architectures. Lakefield combines 10nm cores with larger IO components based on older processes, much like AMD's current chiplet strategy with its Zen 2 architecture. This could help Intel deal with its ongoing 10nm manufacturing difficulties.
The Lakefield chips measure 12mm square and 1mm thick. The concept of combining heterogenous high-power and low-energy CPU cores is common in the ARM-based mobile CPU space, with the arrangement commonly referred to as "big.Little". Intel says that the Windows 10 scheduler is fully capable of assigning tasks to an appropriate core using "hardware-guided" scheduling.
