Apple's iPhone Air 2 will be approximately 0.4mm thinner than the current model despite having a higher-capacity battery, claims the account "yeux1122" on the Korean Naver blog. Apple lists the original iPhone Air at 5.6mm thick, so a 0.4mm reduction would put its successor at approximately 5.2mm, around 7% thinner. Interestingly, that would match the thickness of the new iPhone Duo when unfolded. A previous rumor claimed the iPhone Air 2 will feature a 3,500mAh battery. That's up from the 3,149...

Star Wars: Galactic Racer is an absolute delight to play, and for fans of the Burnout games, it can feel like coming home. That's hardly surprising given that Fuse Games, the creators of Galactic Racer, contains an awful lot of DNA from Burnout's old home at Criterion.

Star Wars: Galactic Racer features a brilliant roguelite single-player campaign that feels modern and old-school at once.

I've admittedly not delved into any multiplayer action in Star Wars: Galactic Racer since the gates to its racetracks were opened to the masses early this week. Look, I needed a quick breather after ramjetting my way through 40 or so hours of it for review. It looks like I might have to try and convince my colleagues to hop on for an RPS Boonta Eve classic soon though, as devs Fuse Games have already announced plans to up multiplayer party sizes so you can invite six mates along instead of three...

AMD Computing & Graphics exec Jack Huynh, speaking to Korean media including The Elec, detailed a two-pronged approach: they’ll make new APUs built with native FSR 4 support, as well as a special version of the upscaler that can run on older integrated graphics chips, both by the end of 2026.

Star Wars Zero Company developers Bit Reactor have begun to put some of the developers they furloughed prior to the game's release back on payroll.

Ahead of the expected imminent launch of the new iPad mini 8, word out of Asia suggests that the device will feature a 60Hz OLED display rather than a ProMotion 120Hz display. The information comes courtesy of a hit-and-miss tipster running the account "yeux1122" on the Korean Naver blog. "There have been mentions of 120Hz in some overseas reports, but the domestic production quantity has already been confirmed to be LTPS at 60Hz," the tipster wrote. "That's it." It's not the first time we've he...

"I don't think it'll be significantly thinner in the end," he posted on X late Wednesday in reply to a question about the machine, which is expected to launch later this month. In October 2025, Gurman reported that the OLED MacBook Pro models would have "thinner and lighter" frames. Then again in November 2025, he said the touchscreen ...

Once more, with feeling

Reforged. Muramasa: The Demon Blade originally launched on the Wii back in 2009, a title that we called "gorgeous, engrossing," and even underrated. We’ve been hoping to see a modern port of this gem for a long time now, and Vanillaware has delivered, with Muramasa: Revenant Blades coming to both Switch 1 and 2 in February next year.
