  • The M5 MacBook Pro Review: AI Acceleration and Gen5 Storage Shine, Yet Everyday Gains Remain Modest
    October 21, 2025, 5:14 PM EDT. The M5 MacBook Pro boosts graphics and AI performance even with the same 10-core CPU as the M4, delivering roughly a 17% rise in multi-core speed but not more cores. The trade-off is louder fan noise and similar temperature ceilings under heavy load. Storage gets a meaningful upgrade thanks to PCIe Gen5, with faster read/write speeds and a configurable 4TB option, sometimes edging past the M4 Pro. On the AI front, the Neural Engine is faster (about 29% vs M4; 40% vs M3), and the GPU cores gain Neural Accelerators to speed up heavy AI tasks. Local AI apps like Draw Things or Misty Studio can leverage this. For everyday use, gains are modest; consider the upcoming M5 Pro/Max for more headroom.
  • Vivo Tops India's Smartphone Market as Apple Shines in Q3 2025
    October 21, 2025, 5:10 PM EDT. India shipped about 48.4 million smartphones in Q3 2025, with iPhones at 10%, Samsung 14%, and Vivo at 20%. Yet Apple shines as the biggest growth story: YoY iPhone sales jump 47% to 3.3 million, while Samsung declines 9% from 7.5 million. Vivo leads the market, but Apple is the foremost gainer among the top five brands in Omdia's India smartphone report. Other brands like Motorola and Nothing post double-digit gains outside the top five. The iPhone 17 family and lower-cost iPhone 15/16 models boost Apple's reach in India, a market that remains tough for rivals to overtake four other brands in a single quarter. Q4 2025 outlook remains uncertain, but Apple's regional momentum is clear.
  • America's Lithium Gap: Can Surge Battery Metals' Nevada North Bridge the U.S. Shortfall
    October 21, 2025, 5:06 PM EDT. America faces a growing lithium shortfall as U.S. production in 2024 reached only about 25,000 tonnes LCE, roughly 2% of global supply. Global demand is set to surge, with projections to 3.56 million tonnes by 2035 (Katusa Research), and the U.S. may require over 625,000 tonnes per year by 2030 per the IEA, much of which must be imported from Chile, Australia, and China. Building new mines takes 10-15 years, creating a structural deficit. Each EV battery uses about 60 kg LCE, and with gigafactories, demand accelerates. Surge Battery Metals promotes the Nevada North Lithium Project in Elko County as a high-grade lithium clay resource - 11.24 million tonnes LCE inferred at ~3,010 ppm, potentially helping bridge the U.S. supply gap.
  • Galaxy S23 One UI 8.0 rollout suspended again as Samsung pauses update
    October 21, 2025, 5:04 PM EDT. Samsung has paused the One UI 8.0 rollout for the Galaxy S23 series after a hopeful start. The suspension mirrors similar pauses affecting other devices, with no widespread user reports of issues yet. Samsung reportedly spotted something needing fixes and pulled the update as a precaution. The currently available firmware on Samsung servers ends in DYI3, an Android 15 build distinct from the EYI5 release that delivered One UI 8.0 and Android 16. Other devices like the Galaxy S24, M53, Fold SE, and S22 have faced suspensions in the past, but rollouts typically resume soon, suggesting a short delay for S23 owners.
  • Starbucks teases AI-driven voice ordering and expansion of AI tools
    October 21, 2025, 5:00 PM EDT. Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol teased a future where customers could order by speaking to their phones, potentially bypassing the app and speeding pickups as part of a broader push into AI from voice to vision. The company is already testing Green Dot Assist, a generative AI tool that helps baristas in real time via in-store iPads, guiding with ingredients and steps. Since its June launch in 35 stores, Starbucks plans more installations to improve speed and consistency. Another feature, Smart Queue, prioritizes orders and shows customers on screens when an order is received, being prepared, or ready. Niccol spoke on Yahoo Finance's Opening Bid Unfiltered amid Dreamforce's AI focus, signaling broader AI-driven changes, potentially including new menu items.
