Apple is reportedly ramping up efforts to develop lightweight augmented reality (AR) glasses, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. The company appears to be refocusing its long-term strategy away from the ultra-premium Vision Pro headset and toward a more accessible wearable device, in a bid to challenge Meta’s growing dominance in the XR and smart glasses segment.
Apple’s long-term vision goes beyond Vision Pro
Metra Orion AR glasses
The report claims that Apple CEO Tim Cook has made the development of AR glasses his top product priority. A source close to the matter told Bloomberg: “Tim cares about nothing else. It’s the only thing he’s really spending his time on from a product development standpoint.”
Unlike the Vision Pro, which launched at $3,499 and targets a niche audience, Apple’s AR glasses are expected to be more accessible in both form and function. The device is still in early development stages, with significant hurdles including miniaturization, battery efficiency, and keeping the device consumer-friendly in terms of pricing.
When will it launch?
There’s no confirmed timeline for Apple’s AR glasses just yet, but reports suggest the product could still be several years away. Apple is believed to be targeting a release ahead of Meta’s Orion AR glasses, which currently cost around $10,000 per prototype and are expected to be commercialized before 2030.
Meanwhile, Apple may release smart glasses-like devices with AI-enabled features, possibly integrated into future Apple Watch or AirPods models. These would be more akin to Meta’s Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses—successful products that offer photography, music, and voice assistant support but lack true AR capabilities.

Smartphone chipsets have reached a point where even the so-called “sub-flagship” SoCs pack more power than most users need in their day-to-day usage. But when comparing something like MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400 (a proper 2025 flagship) to Snapdragon’s 8s Gen 4, which sits just below the top-tier Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, it becomes more about how much better the flagship actually is, rather than if it’s better.
This isn’t just about specs on paper. It’s a look at how both chips stack up in real-world relevance. From performance and AI to gaming, camera tech, and power efficiency. Here’s what you need to know.
Starting with CPU performance, MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400 clearly flexes its flagship status. It’s running a second-gen all-big-core architecture from ARM. The prime is a Cortex-X925 core clocked at 3.62GHz backed by three Cortex-X4 cores and four Cortex-A720s.
The SoC also has bigger L2 and L3 caches (2x and 1.5x, respectively) and a 15% IPC uplift over the previous generation, which official claims delivers up to 35% better single-core and 28% better multi-core performance compared to its predecessor.
On the other hand, Snapdragon’s 8s Gen 4 keeps things a little more measured. The Cortex-X4 prime core tops at 3.2GHz while the rest are Cortex-A720 cores — three clocked at 3.0GHz, two at 2.80GHz, and the remaining two at 2.0GHz. Qualcomm claims the setup delivers a 31% performance boost over the 8s Gen 3.
Essentially, 8s Gen 4 is meant to offer strong performance where it counts without breaking the power budget.
2. Gaming
Gaming is one area where both chips make big promises.
The Dimensity 9400 uses the Immortalis-G925, a 12-core GPU based on ARM’s 5th-gen architecture. It’s not just about brute force, though. MediaTek has layered in hardware-based ray tracing, up to 44% better power efficiency, and features like opacity micromaps that make scenes feel more complex without actually being so.
There’s also MediaTek’s HyperEngine Gaming Tech 3.0 offering real-time FPS stabilization, upscaling with Frame Rate Converter, and AI-driven resolution scaling.
Qualcomm’s Adreno GPU in the 8s Gen 4 is no slouch either. It uses sliced architecture like the flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite and delivers up to 49% better graphics performance versus its last-gen counterpart.
The chip also has features like Snapdragon Elite Gaming, Adaptive Performance Engine, Game Super Resolution 2.0, and even hardware ray tracing to help it stay competitive in most real-world gaming scenarios.
The 9400 is ahead for gaming purists who care about every frame, lighting effect, and temperature drop. But the 8s Gen 4 doesn’t feel far behind for more mainstream gaming.
3. AI
We can’t miss AI in 2025, of course. And both chips were designed with this in mind.
The Dimensity 9400 uses MediaTek’s 8th-gen NPU and goes all-in on what it calls “Agentic AI.” It’s the first mobile chip to support on-device video generation, LoRA model training, and diffusion transformers.
The performance numbers are also aggressive. The company claims it has double the diffusion generation speed and 80% faster LLM prompt handling compared to the Dimensity 9300. It also supports more complex models like Diffusion Transformers and Mixture of Experts (MoE), which are increasingly central to AI workloads.
Qualcomm’s 8s Gen 4 doesn’t trail far behind. It’s Hexagon NPU supports on-device LLMs and LVMs, and on-device multimodal and multilingual AI assistants. It delivers 44% faster AI performance and has 2x larger memory bandwidth than last-gen.
All in all, it’s no surprise the Dimensity 9400 is ahead in raw AI horsepower and capabilities. But unless you’re really into on-device generation or AI training, the 8s Gen 4’s capabilities will feel just as seamless for regular folks.
4. Cameras
Both chips offer solid camera support with advanced AI-assisted photography. The Dimensity 9400’s Imagiq 1090 ISP is particularly impressive. It enables continuous HDR video capture across zoom ranges, real-time AI segmentation, and generative AI super-resolution up to 100x zoom. Plus, MediaTek promises enough power efficiency to record 4K 60fps video for three hours straight.
The Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 brings Qualcomm’s Spectra AI ISP, with 18-bit capture and support for 320MP sensors. It can handle real-time semantic segmentation and night vision 2.0, capturing 4K 30fps footage in low-light conditions. You’re also getting skin and sky tone correction in real-time, which is useful in everyday shots.
5. Connectivity
The Dimensity 9400 uses a 3GPP Release-17 modem with 7 Gbps peak sub-6 5G speeds and new power-saving tricks like UltraSave 4.0. It also supports Wi-Fi 7 with tri-band concurrency, and MediaTek’s Xtra Range 3.0 for reliable network coverage.
Snapdragon’s 8s Gen 4 maxes out at 4.2 Gbps on 5G, 5.8 Gbps on Wi-Fi 7, and supports Bluetooth 6.0. It also has support for features like Bluetooth Channel Sounding and Snapdragon Seamless to help switch devices fluidly within the ecosystem.
6. Final Thoughts: Flagship or Just Enough?
So, where do we land?
The Dimensity 9400 is very much a flagship chip. Big cores, big cache, top-shelf AI, serious gaming credentials, and advanced camera and connectivity features. The spec sheet says it all!
The Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 is a more affordable chip that brings enough of Snapdragon’s ecosystem to power premium devices at a lower cost. Just that it won’t top benchmark charts.
So if you’re choosing between phones with these chips, think about what kind of user you are. Want the absolute best? Go with Dimensity 9400. Need something that’s “pretty much great” without breaking the bank? 8s Gen 4 will be more than capable for you.

Both the iQOO Z10 Turbo Pro and Redmi Turbo 4 Pro are expected to launch this month in China, powered by the newly announced Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset. However, the big question remains: which of the two will be the world’s first smartphone to debut with this new processor? Xiaomi’s General Manager for China Marketing and head of the Redmi brand, Wang Teng, recently shared a teaser on Weibo, revealing that the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro is set to launch next week. The device is being positioned as a performance-driven offering aimed at shaking up the competitive mid-premium segment.
Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 makes its debut with Redmi Turbo 4 Pro
Redmi Turbo 4 Pro to debut next week
By debuting next week, the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro is set to become the first smartphone to debut Qualcomm’s newly launched Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip. This new chip features a full, large-core CPU design and is paired with the Adreno 825 GPU, which is from the same generation as the flagship-level Adreno 830.
This marks a significant performance leap in the mid-range chipset category, giving the Turbo 4 Pro a clear advantage over rivals in the 2,500 Yuan segment. Wang Teng Thomas also stated that the phone’s capabilities will surpass those of Ace and Neo series devices from competing brands.

The JBL Flip series has long been the go-to for portable Bluetooth speakers that don’t try to do too much but still end up doing more than you expect. With the arrival of the JBL Flip 7, launched in March, JBL isn’t reinventing the wheel—but it’s definitely tuning the ride. The question now is: should you trade in your older Flip model for this latest iteration?
JBL didn’t mess with the size or form factor. The Flip 7 keeps the familiar cylindrical design, but under the hood, it’s gotten noticeably tougher. It now carries an IP68 rating, meaning it’s waterproof, dustproof, and even drop-resistant—an edge over the Flip 6’s IP67. It’s still a speaker you can take to the beach, but now it can handle getting knocked off the table too.
But the most interesting update might be AI Sound Boost. JBL’s new proprietary tech analyzes audio in real-time and dynamically enhances bass and clarity at higher volumes without muddying things up. It’s not just marketing fluff. Side-by-side, the Flip 7 sounds more confident—richer lows, more defined highs, and less distortion when things get loud. Think of it as smarter muscle.
2. Battery That Goes the Distance
Battery life also gets a minor but meaningful bump. The Flip 7 is rated for 14 hours of playback, and if you flip on the new Playtime Boost mode, you can stretch that to 16 hours—a subtle but welcome change for those long weekends or music marathons.
The tradeoff? Playtime Boost slightly dials down bass response, but it’s a fair exchange if you’re running low at a party and just need a few more hours to keep the vibes alive.
3. Smarter App Experience and Eco-Friendly Moves
Flip 7 also benefits from JBL’s updated companion app, which now includes a 7-band EQ. Compared to the Flip 6’s basic 3-band slider, this opens up much more control over your sound profile. Whether you’re tuning it for podcasts or an outdoor bash, it’s easier to make it yours.
Then there’s the eco-conscious design. The Flip 7 is made from 77% recycled plastic and 100% recycled fabric, and the packaging is FSC-certified. It won’t change your listening experience, but it might make you feel better about your purchase.
4. Connectivity Gets a New Standard
This time around, JBL is ditching PartyBoost in favor of Auracast, the emerging audio broadcasting standard. It allows seamless pairing with other Auracast-enabled JBL speakers, creating a larger synchronized sound network. The only issue? Previous gen Flips and Flip 7 can’t pair together—so if you’re building a multi-speaker setup, that’s something to consider.
And if you’re one of those rare folks who still plugs in your music, you’ll appreciate the addition of USB-C lossless audio playback, which caters to high-resolution audio fans.
5. So, Should You Upgrade?
Here’s the verdict: If you’re using anything older than the Flip 6, the Flip 7 is an easy recommendation. It sounds fuller, lasts longer, and now comes with smarter sound tuning and stronger durability. The upgrade to Auracast also future-proofs your setup a bit.
If you already own a Flip 6, it depends. If you’re satisfied with the current sound and rely on PartyBoost with other JBL speakers, you might want to wait. But if extended battery, better EQ control, and improved sound quality are priorities—and you’re ready to embrace the next generation of connectivity—then Flip 7 is more than just a modest refresh. It’s a portable speaker that genuinely earns the “next-gen” tag.
It may not look drastically different, but it plays louder, lasts longer, and sounds better doing it. And in the world of portable speakers, that’s often all that matters.
We are still months out from the official launch of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 and MediaTek’s next-gen Dimensity 9500. But that hasn’t stopped the leaks from flowing and us from following them.
The latest scoop comes, once again, from China’s ever-reliable tipster Digital Chat Station. This time, it’s an AnTuTu benchmark score for MediaTek’s upcoming chip.
According to the leak, the Dimensity 9500 has hit over 400,000 points in its most recent benchmark run. That puts it roughly 17% ahead of the best score we’ve seen so far from the Snapdragon 8 Elite.
MediaTek Dimensity 9500 scores over 4 million on the AnTuTu benchmark.
Of course, we’re still a ways off from launch, so these numbers will likely change as final optimizations roll in.
DCS also reports that MediaTek will increase the L3 cache on the 9500 from 12MB to 16 MB. This should help reduce memory latency and speed up app switching. It’s a meaningful upgrade that could lead to smoother multitasking across the board.
Beyond this…
Oh, and in case you’re wondering about the silicon future beyond this chip, DCS says the next-gen processors from Apple, Qualcomm, and MediaTek will all be built on TSMC’s 2nm process.
We are talking about the likely Apple A20, Snapdragon 8 Elite 3, and Dimensity 9600, to be clear. The upgrade in fabrication process naturally means gains in power efficiency and performance.
2nm chips incoming
However, it is also costly to make SoCs on the smaller node, and incidentally, DCS indicates that the flagship phones of 2026 may become more expensive.
As for the Dimensity 9500 itself, it’s still expected to be fabbed on TSMC’s 3nm N3E node. The chip will reportedly feature two Cortex-X930 “Travis” cores and six Cortex-A730 “Gelas” cores, with the prime cores reaching speeds up to 4GHz, a 10% boost over the Dimensity 9400.
