When Fashion Meets Tech
Verge
Roseberry, the creative director of French fashion house Schiaparelli, showed the brand’s 2024 couture show in Paris on Monday.
This time, a life-size robot baby doll and a short cocktail dress, both completely covered in tech waste were this season’s standout pieces
Intel Brushless Fan, Old phones, calculators, wires, motherboards, and CDs are used as embellishments the way sequins or beads might adorn a less ambitious garment.
The baby — and the dress, nicknamed “The Mother” — are part human and part object, rising from the past and haunting the future.
The baby was a reference to the Alien movies and Roseberry mined his memories for inspiration in an age of AI-generated remixing of his collections.

First Look at Google Pixel 9 Renders
Source
Pixel 9 will be the first vanilla pixel with triple rear cameras including a telephoto camera as well 🎉
It will sport a 6.2-inch OLED Display with 120Hz refresh rate
Vanilla Pixel 9 will also feature a temperature sensor similar to the Pixel 8 Pro and the Pixel 9 Pro
Pixel 9 series will be powered by Google Tensor G4 SoC.
It is been reported that the test order for Tensor G4 will be handed over to the Taiwanese factory for the first time, and KYEC will win the order.
However, Tensor G4 will still be manufactured by Samsung Foundry on its advanced 4nm process
(SAME node on which Exynos 2400 has been manufactured)

Google has announced a "Mint" color for the Pixel 8 series (only available from the Google Store with 128GB storage), alongside a new Pixel Feature Drop for January 2024! This Feature Drop is a bit unusual since it isn't accompanied by a new QPR update, but it does bring some interesting features.
For example, the Pixel 8 Pro's Thermometer app is finally getting the ability to measure body temperature! This means the FDA has authorized the Pixel Thermometer to take body temperature readings. Any temperature results you take can be synced to your Fitbit account.
Both Pixel Watch models now support automatic audio switching, which means your Pixel Buds Pro can seamlessly switch from a Pixel Tablet to your paired Pixel phone.
Also, Quick Share (the revamped/rebranded version of Google's Nearby Share) should be rolling out soon, so you can look forward to that.
A more exciting development is the rollout of the Circle to Search feature Google announced at Galaxy Unpacked. Google reiterates that they'll roll this out to the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro on January 31, but it's also already available on the Galaxy S24 series. (I shared a method with my Patreon/X subscribers to enable this feature on other Pixel devices right now, but it requires root to spoof the Pixel 8.)
Lastly, Google is starting to more widely roll out the Photomoji and Magic Compose features in the Google Messages app for Pixel users. Photomoji lets you turn any photo into a custom reaction or sticker, while Magic Compose helps you rewrite messages in different styles using generative AI.
Photomoji is available for the Pixel 3a and later, while Magic Compose is only available for the Pixel 6 and later (processing happens on-device in the case of the Pixel 8 Pro).

ARM's Powerful "Blackhawk" CPU might beat iPhone performance
Analyst firm Moor Insights and Strategy reports that Arm’s next Cortex-X CPU likely the Cortex-X5 could be the most powerful smartphone CPU around
Cortex-X5 is likely codenamed as "Blackhawk"
Cortex-X5 core will offer the “largest year-over-year IPC performance increase in five years” after the Cortex-X1debut
Blackhawk will also offer “great” large language model (LLM) performance, for boosting generative AI tasks.
It’s believed that this ambitious new CPU is part of a plan by Arm to “eliminate the performance gap between Arm-designed processors and custom Arm implementations.”
Qualcomm on the other hand will use Nuvia-based Phoenix cores instead of ARM Cortex cores in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4.
So Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will NOT pack Cortex-X5 core
MediaTek Dimensity 9400 codenamed and Samsung Exynos 2500 will pack the Blackhawk CPU core

Apple Pays $13.6 Million Fine to Russia Over App Store Monopoly
In July 2022, the Russian Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) ruled that Apple violated Russian antitrust laws for allegedly abusing its dominant position in the app market.
The FAS said that Apple forces Russian iOS app developers to use the company’s payment tools in their apps. It also said that the company prohibits developers from telling users in their apps that they can pay or use other payment methods outside the App Store.
In addition, Apple requires developers to remove links to their online resources and change app functionality. This way, registration forms cannot redirect to external websites.
On January 17, 2024, the antitrust agency issued a fine of 1.2 billion rubles ($13.6 million) to Apple
The funds were transferred to Russia’s federal budget.
In February 2023, the FAS said Apple had paid a $12.1 Million fine in another antitrust case alleging Apple's abuse of its dominance in the mobile apps market.

2× Nuvia Phoenix large
6× Nuvia Phoenix Medium
TSMC 3nm process (N3B)
MediaTek Dimensity 9400 is expected to defeat Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 in ALL aspects.
3x Cortex-X5
5x Cortex-A730
TSMC 3nm process (N3B)
Exynos 2500 (Dream Chip) will be built on Samsung 3nm GAA architecture which is superior to TSMC 3nm FinFet.
1x Cortex-X5 @ 3.3GHz
5x Cortex-A730
4x Cortex-A520
10-core CPU
Tensor G4 will be built over Samsung's advanced 4nm process
Google has sent a test order of Tensor G4 chips to a Taiwanese factory for the first time for testing the silicon; thus preparing the self-developed Tensor G5 chip to be manufactured over TSMC 3nm process
BONUS: Xiaomi's "self-developed" SoC will launch in 2025/26

STOP Believing Golden Reviewers' Test results
Golden Reviewer tests smartphone SoCs efficiency, performance etc similar to Geekerwan and publications like AnandTech
But his test results are FLAWED
Some (mostly Snapdragon fanbois & Exynos haters) blindly trust his test scores
Those even believe that the Snapdragon 888 & 8 Gen1 is a "heater chip" because of Samsung.
In reality, Qualcomm chose it for more profits despite knowing it got just 35% yield
In his Specint06 test for Big cores, he found out that the E2400 is power hungry than SD 8Gen3 or MTK D9300
But in his results, E2400 when compared with SD8 Gen 3 & D9300, the score difference is less than 10%, but the power consumption differs by 40% or higher ???
Golden Reviewer previously found out that the Apple A15 CPU is less efficient than A14 CPU which was the opposite of AnandTech's findings
In reality, Golden Reviewer's testing method only was wrong.
Better believe AnandTech & Geekerwan figures as they are reliable
