Apple is making exciting preparations for the M4 processor Mac models it will launch towards the end of this year. The M4 chip was first showcased in the newly introduced next-generation iPad Pro a few months ago. This chip stands out by offering impressive performance to its users.

Prominent features of the M4 processor include 4 performance cores and 6 efficiency cores. This architecture provides strong CPU performance while featuring a 10-core GPU with next-generation machine learning (ML) capabilities and hardware-based ray tracing support. Compared to the M2 chip, the M4 offers 50% faster performance, achieving four times the performance of the M2 iPad Pro while consuming half the power. Additionally, the M4’s 16-core Neural Engine reaches a processing capacity of 38 trillion operations per second, which is 60 times faster than Apple’s first Neural Engine.

Mark Gurman from Bloomberg provided important information about the new M4 Macs in his latest Power On newsletter. Gurman noted that “at least one Mac model will undergo significant design changes beyond advanced performance,” but emphasized that this model will not be part of the 2024 series. Gurman mentioned that there will be three different M4 Mac models released this year, including the M4 processor MacBook Pro, Mac mini, and iMac.

Mac mini: It hasn’t undergone significant design changes recently.
MacBook Pro and iMac: These two models have already been updated and stand out with their current designs.

The M4 processor iMac is expected to switch its accessories to USB-C, which is not considered a major design revolution. There is currently no confirmed information regarding the new Mac mini design. It seems likely that Apple will focus on introducing the new M4 Pro and M4 Max chips rather than making a major redesign for these models.

Gurman also added that Apple plans to release a new MacBook Air, Mac Studio, and Mac Pro in 2025. Among these models, Mac Pro stands out as the biggest candidate for a redesign. Previous rumors had already implied that Apple was working on a completely new Mac Pro. Although some users were disappointed by the M2 Ultra Mac Pro’s design due to its similarity to the Intel model, Apple may finally be ready to introduce a completely different Mac Pro model in 2025. However, we will have to wait until the second half of 2025 for this new Mac Pro; as the M4 Ultra (or an even more advanced chip) is not expected to be released before the second half of next year.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) released a preliminary report stating that a Tesla Semi electric truck in California required firefighters to use “50,000 gallons” (approximately 190,000 liters) of water to extinguish a roadside fire. Firefighting teams also deployed an aircraft to drop fire retardant on nearby areas as a precautionary measure to control the fire.

The accident occurred on August 19 at 3:13 AM local time on the I-80 highway east of Sacramento. The electric truck went off the road while navigating a curve, collided with a roadside boundary marker, and then struck a tree, coming to a stop. Fortunately, the driver was not injured in the accident; however, considering their health condition, they were taken to the hospital.

The Tesla Semi’s large 900 kWh battery caught fire upon impact, and toxic smoke began to spread during the fire. While the fire continued with temperatures reaching up to 538°C, firefighters worked intensively to cool the blaze with water. However, due to the fire’s effects, the vehicle continued to burn until late in the afternoon. Meanwhile, Tesla sent a technical expert to the scene regarding fire safety and high voltage hazards.

The highway reopened to traffic at 7:20 PM local time, 16 hours after the accident. The NTSB, as an organization that can only make recommendations and cannot enforce regulations, sent a team to the area for investigation purposes. This major accident raised several issues, including dangerously hot fires and toxic smoke, which will attract the attention of many international organizations.

The NTSB had previously stated in 2021 that fires in the batteries of electric vehicles pose serious risks to emergency response teams and that the guidelines provided by manufacturers for such fires are inadequate.

New Leaks About Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra

Samsung is expected to introduce the Galaxy S25 Ultra along with the Galaxy S25 series at the beginning of 2024, likely in January. Although no official announcement has been made yet, leaks regarding the upcoming flagship continue to spread rapidly on the internet. Notable leak source IceUniverse shared several new visuals of the Galaxy S25 Ultra in a post on the X platform. These visuals reveal the design differences between the Galaxy S25 Ultra and the Galaxy S24 Ultra.

One of the notable features in the leaked images of the Galaxy S25 Ultra is the rounded corners of the phone. In contrast, this year’s Galaxy S24 Ultra has quite sharp corners, which has led to feedback from some users indicating discomfort while holding the device. Previous leaks have suggested that the Galaxy S25 Ultra may be somewhat larger.

A tweet shared by IceUniverse: Galaxy S25 Ultra Image

According to leaks, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is expected to be thinner and lighter compared to previous models. In August, rumors emerged that the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra would be lighter than its competitors, with a weight of under 221 grams.

Another image featured in IceUniverse’s post shows close-ups of the sides of both next year’s expected flagship phone and Samsung’s current flagship. In this image, the side of the Galaxy S25 Ultra appears flatter with rounded corners. While these changes may not create a major revolution, they will generally positively affect the feel of the phone in hand.

Looking at other rumors about the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, it is expected that the company will offer top-tier screen and camera upgrades next year. Additionally, there is a strong expectation that the satellite connection feature will also be introduced alongside the Galaxy S25.

Apple officially launched iOS 18 yesterday, as promised. After a long beta testing phase, this update brings many exciting new features for iPhone users.

iOS 18 Officially Released: Innovations and Features

New Features in iOS 18

Advanced Customization Options on the Home Screen: With iOS 18, users can now arrange app icons freely without sticking to the traditional grid layout. Additionally, there’s an option to change the colors of the icons and adjust their darkness levels. In short, you are no longer bound to a boring layout. It raises questions why Apple waited until 2024 to offer this feature.
Revamped Control Center: The Control Center is completely redesigned in iOS 18. Users will be able to group controls more comfortably, and developers can easily add controls from their applications. Also, there’s an option to divide the Control Center into pages, allowing different controls on each page.
RCS Messaging Support: With iOS 18, Apple introduces Rich Communication Services (RCS) messaging support. Users can add various effects to their texts and react with new emojis for more colorful responses.
Updated Photos App: The Photos app is presented with a new opening page and a modern layout. Users can now browse photos by time, people, and many other criteria, reorder media files, and explore more with the “Collections” feature.
App Lock Feature: Users can now lock specific applications. For example, they can activate Face ID protection from the menu that appears when long-pressing an app icon. Thus, anyone wanting to open the app will have to pass the Face ID protection first.
Apple Intelligence: One of the important features of iOS 18 is Apple’s artificial intelligence kit, Apple Intelligence. However, to fully benefit from this feature, you’ll need to wait for the iOS 18.1 update. More information about Apple Intelligence can be found here.
