According to CNBC, Benoit Dupin, Senior Director of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence at Apple, spoke at Amazon's AWS re:Invent conference in Las Vegas about how Apple leverages custom AI chips from Amazon Web Services (AWS) in many of its cloud services. Apple is also evaluating Amazon's latest AI chips for pre-training its Apple Intelligence models.
“We have a strong relationship, and the infrastructure is both reliable and capable of serving our customers worldwide,” said Dupin.
Apple's participation in Amazon's conference and its adoption of the company's chips signify a strong endorsement of AWS as it competes with Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud for AI investments. Apple also utilizes these competing cloud services.
During the event, Dupin highlighted that Apple has been using AWS chips, such as the Graviton and Inferentia, for over a decade to power services like Siri, search, the App Store, Apple Music, Apple Maps, and more. By leveraging these chips, Apple has achieved a 40% improvement in efficiency compared to Intel and AMD’s x86 chips.
Dupin further confirmed that Apple is currently testing AWS’s latest AI training chip, Trainium2. He stated that Apple expects “up to a 50% improvement in efficiency with pre-training” using the Trainium2 chip.
AWS CEO Matt Garman, in an interview with CNBC, mentioned that Apple was an early adopter and beta tester of the Trainium chips.
“Apple approached us and said, ‘How can you help us enhance our generative AI capabilities? We need infrastructure to build this vision,’” Garman told CNBC’s Kate Rooney. “They had a clear vision for developing Apple Intelligence.”
This fall, Apple launched its first major generative AI product, Apple Intelligence, a suite of services that can summarize notifications, rewrite emails, and generate new emojis. According to the company, Apple Intelligence will integrate with OpenAI’s ChatGPT later this month, and Siri will gain new capabilities for app control and natural speech next year.
Unlike leading chatbots such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, which rely on large clusters of Nvidia-based servers in the cloud, Apple employs a different approach. It processes as much as possible on local devices, such as iPhones, iPads, or Macs, and delegates complex queries to Apple-operated servers powered by its proprietary M-series chips.
A leak has just revealed that a tiny new DJI Flip is coming – and it could potentially be a DJI Mini series successor.The new DJI Flip, which has propeller guards similar to the DJI Neo, will have a folding design that resembles the HoverAir X1, according to a video shared by reliable leaker Jasper Ellens on X.
DJI's current folding drones, including the Mini 4 Pro and Mini 3, feature collapsing propellers and arms that fold towards the sides of each drone’s body. The guarded propellers on the DJI Flip appear to instead fold downwards in the leaked animation, resulting in all four of them being neatly stacked to help make the drone smaller and easier to transport when not being flown.
The addition of propeller guards will not only make the DJI Flip safer for novices to fly, but its larger propellers and their ducted design could also make the new drone quieter, according to DroneXL. Other features spotted in the leaked image and animation include a camera on a three-axis gimbal, landing leg supports under the front propellers, support for DJI’s O4 video transmission system, and an “advanced LiDAR array matching the DJI Air 3S’s sensor capabilities,” says DroneXL.
The Flip will ship with a 3,110mAh battery — larger than the DJI Neo’s 1,435mAh that allows the smaller drone to fly for up to 18 minutes. That’s also larger than the 2,590mAh that ships with the DJI Mini 4 Pro and the DJI Mini 3’s 2,453mAh battery, which gave both of those drones flight times of 34 to 38 minutes.
Overall, this makes the DJI Flip a curious little drone, and it isn't clear yet where it might sit between the new DJI Neo and existing DJI Mini series. As always with DJI, expect new leaks to reveal more soon...
What’s still unknown are pricing details or when the DJI Flip will launch, although DroneXL suspects it could be announced as early as January 2025. Jasper Ellens also believes the Flip will be DJI’s replacement for the Mini 5 or Mini 5 Pro that was expected to debut sometime in late 2024 or early 2025.

Judging by what we've seen from leaks and official channels alike, One UI 7.0 will be full of pleasant surprises.But not all news is good news for Galaxy fans, especially since Samsung announced the end of Edge Panel downloads.
The company issued a termination notice earlier this week (via @theonecid), informing Galaxy device users that they will no longer be able to acquire and download Edge Panels from the Galaxy Store on devices running One UI 7 or later.
Edge Panels have always been a unique way to further customize your Samsung device. The Galaxy Store had a variety of panels, some of which were premium and cost money. This is a panel on the side of the screen that can be swiped open to provide quick access to frequently used apps. The Galaxy Store provided neat skins and customizations for the Edge Panel.
Samsung says that, even though you won't be able to acquire and download new Panels, the ones already on your phone before updating to One UI 7 will be available in the “My apps” section of the Galaxy Store.
But it’s worth noting that Samsung also says that once you upgrade to One UI 7, you won’t be able to re-download its own Edge Panel after uninstalling it.
So, as long as you have a third-party Edge Panel installed at the moment of updating to One UI 7.0, you can continue to use it. But if you uninstall said Edge Panel after you upgrade to One UI 7.0, you won't be able to re-acquire it — not even via the aforementioned “My Apps” section.
This is seemingly true for both free and paid Edge Panels. If you want to hold on to your paid Edge Panels after you update to One UI 7, you will have to avoid uninstalling them. If you remove them, it looks like they'll be gone for good.
Aside from the Edge Panel storefront, the Edge Panel feature itself will not be removed in One UI 7.0.Nevertheless, this might be the first step in a lengthier process of slowly phasing out Edge Panels.It wouldn't surprise us if Samsung may want to discontinue this feature altogether at a later date.
One UI 7.0 promises to deliver a lot of useful features, but apparently, edge panels are not one of them.

New leak suggests alongside the expected trio of Samsung Galaxy S25 phones, new 'Slim' version of the phone is going to be available worldwide.Given Samsung has released new Galaxy S devices every year since 2010 and that we’re now up to the S24, it shouldn’t be a huge surprise that a new version is just around the corner.
According to the reported Erencan Yılmaz, who posted on X the model number: SM-S937B/DS. This indicates two things: the ‘B’ means the handset will be sold in all regions that Samsung operates in, while the ‘DS’ stands for dual-Sim support.
In other words, this won't be a situation like we have with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition, which is only available in Samsung's home country of South Korea – at least as far as direct retail sales are concerned.The latter detail is not particularly surprising, but still welcome as it means you can use two different phone numbers at the same time (for different countries, if you regularly travel, or to keep work/home correspondences on the same device).
All the indications so far point to the Galaxy S25 Slim being something along the lines of a Galaxy S25 FE (Fan Edition).
Details of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim are, appropriately, somewhat thin on the ground, but it’s likely Samsung’s answer to the rumor that Apple will be launching an iPhone 17 Slim model next year. These two devices could be going after very different markets if Samsung’s is indeed a rebadged Galaxy FE, as Apple’s Slim model is rumored to be the most expensive iPhone ever.
Even with the possible price discrepancy, Samsung could have one big advantage over Apple. According to the reliable leaker Ice Universe, the company aims to make photography the focus with a camera “stronger than S25, and more similar to the idea of vivo X200 Pro mini”.
We’re expecting to see regular S25, Plus and Ultra models arriving in January, the Slim model could yet come much later in the year, with an April date mooted.
Samsung launched the Galaxy Tab S10+ and S10 Ultra this year,these tablets come as successors to the Galaxy Tab S9 lineup. Now the highly anticipated Galaxy Tab S10 FE series appears to be on the horizon, as the company has officially listed these tablets on its US website.
While Samsung hasn’t disclosed specific details about the devices yet, there’s a notable promotion on the website that offers US customers free one-year access to Goodnotes, a popular note-taking app for Android, for those who purchase and activate any Galaxy Tab S10 or Tab S10 FE models by July 31, 2025. This further confirms that the FE series launch is imminent.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE lineup is expected to follow the strategy of its predecessor, the Galaxy Tab S9 FE series, which included two models: the regular Tab S9 FE and the slightly more expensive Tab S9 FE+. It’s likely that the upcoming Tab S10 FE series will follow a similar approach, offering at least two models to cater to different price points.
Tab S10 FE models will likely continue to use the Exynos chipset, with speculations pointing toward the Exynos 1580, which is also expected to power the upcoming Galaxy A56. This would be an upgrade from the Exynos 1380 used in the Tab S9 FE series, suggesting improved performance and efficiency.
There are also rumors that the Tab S10 FE series could feature a 12MP primary camera, a significant upgrade from the 8MP lens found in the Tab S9 FE models. This would likely improve the overall camera experience, making it more suitable for casual photography and video calls.
