• Apple leads smartphone tumble in China

    China’s smartphone market plunged in February with shipments slipping more than 30 per cent year-on-year after returning to growth in January, data from the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology showed.

  • Unpatchable Apple Silicon vulnerability could leak encryption keys

    A recently published paper describes a flaw primarily affecting Apple Silicon that allows attackers to circumvent end-to-end encryption through a side-channel attack on the company's devices. Anyone developing encryption software for Macs likely needs to rethink their security procedures.Read Entire Article

  • Here’s how the Apple antitrust suit could change iPhone design

    There’s a reckoning in Big Tech, as the Department of Justice filed a landmark antitrust lawsuit against Apple, alleging that it has leveraged everything from its App Store to iMessages to create an iPhone monopoly. (The suit follows similar filings against Google and Meta.) Apple’s suit, in particular, recognizes a growing tension: Apple is a company that’s defined itself through its seamlessly interconnected products that make tasks easier. But at the same time, Apple has leveraged that...

  • Researchers find unfixable bug in Apple M Silicon computers

    Researchers have identified a critical vulnerability in Apple’s M1, M2, and M3 silicon chipsets. This flaw is inherent to the silicon design of the CPU, making it unpatchable through conventional software updates. Although the good news is, the vulnerability requires local access to the computer, meaning an attacker must have physical access to your Apple […]

  • Apple scraps plan to design watch displays in-house: report

    Apple is winding down a project to design and develop its own smartwatch displays, Bloomberg News reported on Friday, citing people with knowledge of the matter. The plan was shelved due to high costs and complexity, and Apple is now reorganizing the teams that handled display engineering and eliminating several dozen roles in the United States and Asia, according to the report. Apple did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

  • Apple Mac Silicon: Unpatchable Security Flaw Discovered—is it a Threat?

    Apple's Mac Silicon, a.k.a. the M-series, is vulnerable to an unpatchable security flaw that breaks encryption.

  • Vulnerability found in Apple's Silicon M-series chips – and it can't be patched

    A major vulnerability has been found in Apple M-Series Silicon chips.

  • Apple Silicon has a hardware-level exploit that could leak private data

    A team of university security researchers has found a chip-level exploit in Apple Silicon Macs. The group says the flaw can bypass the computer’s encryption and access its security keys, exposing the Mac’s private data to hackers. The silver lining is the exploit would require you to circumvent Apple’s Gatekeeper protections, install a malicious app and then let the software run for as long as 10 hours (along with a host of other complex conditions), which reduces the odds you’ll have to worry...

  • Unpatchable security flaw in Apple Silicon Macs breaks encryption

    University researchers have found an unpatchable security flaw in Apple Silicon Macs, which would allow an attacker to break encryption and get access to cryptographic keys. The flaw is present in M1, M2, and M3 chips, and because the failing is part of the architecture of the chips, there’s no way for Apple to fix it in current devices more

  • Apple Silicon vulnerability leaks encryption keys, and can't be patched easily

    A new vulnerability in Apple Silicon chips can allow a determined attacker to access a user's data by stealing the cryptographic keys -- and a fix could considerably impact encryption performance. Apple Silicon M2 in front of a MacBook Researchers have discovered an issue with Apple's M-series chips, in how it deals with cryptographic operations, such as the encryption of files. However, since it is an issue with the chip's architectural design, it's something that's very difficult to...

  • Latest Apple Store reveals beautiful circular design [Gallery]

    Apple has shared photos of the latest Apple Store, ahead of this week’s opening in Shanghai, China. The photos reveal a curved glass facade, with stairs leading down into a beautiful circular design in the main display area in the basement of the store more
