Apple has reportedly contacted Samsung and Intel about building “core device chips” in an effort to reduce its reliance on TSMC, Bloomberg reported. The iPhone maker has reportedly held preliminary discussions with Intel and recently visited a Samsung chip factory currently under development in Texas. No orders have been placed so far and negotiations with the two suppliers are still preliminary, according to sources familiar with the matter. For the past decade, Apple has relied primarily on TSMC to build the processors (systems on chips, or SoCs) that power its iPhones, iPads, and, more recently, Macs. However, Apple would not…

Although technology has also improved to the point where even smartphone digital cameras can deliver truly impressive images, that doesn’t mean digital cameras aren’t without vulnerabilities. Consider the fact that research indicates that radiation can negatively impact the quality of digital photos. In a paper published in the academic journal Sensors, researchers explain how they tested an industrial digital camera while…
