PSA: This iOS bug will disable your Wi-Fi
Let’s shift gears on to Apple and a new bug for iOS that might leave your phone without any Wi-Fi. This bug was discovered by security researcher, Carl Shou, who joined his personal Wi-Fi network with an SSID that I won’t try to pronounce and it permanently disabled his Wi-Fi functionality. 9to5Mac reports that multiple people are having this issue and that the bug also affects iPads, and it won’t let you use services like AirDrop. Shou mentions on his tweet that he rebooted his phone and changed his SSID but the Wi-Fi still won’t work. So if you’re having this issue there is a fix by resetting the network settings on your phone and you might actually want to as Gizmodo says that this may lead to memory corruption eventually. Oh and by the way, this bug does not affect Android users whatsoever, even if connected to the same network. We’ll keep you posted on whether Apple provides a fix with the next iOS update.
You’ll have to wait longer for the Samsung AMD GPU
Let’s move on to Sammy for a couple of segments, starting with the company’s journey to fix their Exynos chips. We know that they joined hands with AMD last year to license their RDNA graphics and last week we heard that they were hiring engineers that used to work at Apple and AMD in order to improve CPUs. So far we were expecting their new graphics to be introduced some time this year but, we knew we would have to wait for those CPU updates. Well, a new tweet from Ice Universe claims that the Samsung and AMD GPU was originally scheduled to be released this June but it was postponed to July. This is when we’ll know exactly how this new Exynos chip along with AMD’s GPU and their features will perform, as well as other details. So it looks like we’ll have to wait an extra month to see what this is all about but with all of these changes, I can finally say that a new Exynos chip sounds enticing. Let’s just see how long those CPU updates will take..
Samsung’s Preps for Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3 with some aggressive numbers
Speaking of Samsung, let’s shift focus on to their upcoming foldables as things seem to be in motion already for the Fall. This month we’ve covered a ton of reports on the Z Flip 3 and Z Fold 3, including new partnerships for display technology and the fact that these might be released on August 27th. On a new exclusive report from Jon Prosser, he claims that Samsung began mass production earlier last week for both of these devices. Apparently they’re ordering a crazy 50 to 70,000 units per day of this device, with Prosser mentioning that they’re aiming to produced a combined 7 million units. Just for context they only produced 1 to 2 million units for previous models. Finally, the report also says that his sources are hearing about an August 3rd Event but he didn’t really confirm this though it goes along with events from previous years. And I mean, with no Galaxy Note this year and the Galaxy Z Fold 2 reportedly selling more than they were expecting, it looks like Samsung is really banking on their foldables this year.. Let’s just see if the price tags go down.
Story of the day:
Apple could give us two new MacBook Pro models and a M1X Mac mini in Q4 2021
And finally, for the hottest news today, let’s go to Cupertino and what we can expect from them when it comes to hardware. We all know what happened this month at WWDC where the whole narrative from leakers was that we’d be getting new M1X MacBook Pros with Apple even using that name for their Tags on YouTube and then, well, we didn’t get any hardware. Now we have a couple of new tweets from a tipster named Dylan, who claims that the 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pros are definitely coming in Q4 of 2021, either in late October or early November. A couple of people asked on the replies about the M1X chip and the possibilities of an iMac Pro. Dylan responded that an iMac Pro will most likely not release at this event but went on to say that you can definitely expect these new MacBook Pros and a new M1X Mac mini with them which was leaked by Prosser some time ago. The thing about it is, we’ve heard different reports, some mentioning Q3 some Q4 but, late October or early November actually makes sense considering we got the M1 MacBooks and the Mac mini in November last year. Just to jog your memory, we’re expecting 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pros with a mini-LED Display, no Touch Bar and a ton of new ports along with a redesigned Mac mini. All rocking Apple Silicon that could pack up to 32 high performance cores and 128 core options for graphics according to Mark Gurman.
