TSMC process blessing! The Snapdragon 8 Plus phone will come soon

The first new Snapdragon 8 Plus flagship or June release

The Redmi K50 Ultra may be installed

According to GSMArena, it is known from supply chain sources that the first model of the new generation of Snapdragon 8 Plus will be released in China at the end of June and the beginning of July. It is reported that Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 code name is sm8450, and the one based on TSMC process that will be launched in the second half of the year is sm8475, temporarily known as Snapdragon 8 Plus. In addition, the foreign media also said that Qualcomm may release the chip in May this year.

It is understood that the Snapdragon 8 Plus will be based on TSMC's 4nm semiconductor manufacturing process, which may be very similar to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, but the frequency may be slightly higher. According to a reliable whistleblower of South Korea's technology forum Meeco, the source was quoted as saying that the Core of cortex X2 of Qualcomm's enhanced flagship chip 8 Plus is quite energy-intensive; the high-frequency power consumption is particularly serious. Qualcomm may have a downconverter processor Cortex X2 core. This means that the performance difference between the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and the Snapdragon 8 Plus will not be too large. Despite this, with the blessing of TSMC, the performance of the Plus enhanced version of the chip is still expected to be better than that of the non-Plus series.

In addition, according to the @digital chat station today, Redmi has a new machine equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus flagship processor is on the road, and some netizens in the comment area speculate that it is Redmi K50 Ultra. According to previous reports, the Snapdragon 8 Plus may still be grabbed by Motorola for the first time, and this new flagship will also be equipped with a 200 million pixel main camera, becoming the world's first 200 million pixel flagship, and for a long time may also be the only ultra-high pixel model.

Apple emphasizes that app store third-party apps are more successful

So there is no need to open the sideload

A report released by Apple today shows that third-party apps on Apple's App Store have achieved global success, and compared with Apple's own apps, Apple's own apps are less popular than third-party apps, accounting for a relatively small share of use. It is understood that since the advent of the App Store more than a decade ago, the number of third-party apps has increased from 500 to more than 1.8 million, and Apple's native apps are 60. Currently, more than 99.99% of iOS apps are made by third-party developers.

The study notes that in many categories, such as social, food, travel, and dating services, third-party apps are the only option for users because Apple doesn't compete in these categories. The report also notes that among most app types, Apple's app "eclipses in popularity and takes up a relatively small share."

In the United States, for example, Spotify is more than 1.6 times more than Apple Music and 17 times more Netflix than Apple TV+ in terms of daily active users and usage time. "Apple's own apps are rarely the most popular in a particular genre, and typically account for only a small percentage of app usage," the report reads.

In addition, Apple's share of most app categories has fallen below 40 percent, and tends to be lower. In terms of instant messaging, Apple has a 41% market share in the United States, competing with companies such as WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram and others, while in the maps category, Apple has a market share of 36%. In the TV category, it has a 3% market share, and in the reading category, it accounts for 8%.

At the time of the study's release, Apple is facing regulatory pressure in various regions of the world, and the outside world believes that Apple's own applications occupy priority and dominance in the App Store, and to a certain extent, they are suspected of having a "monopoly position". Multi-regional regulation requires Apple to open up regulatory pressure on sideload and alternative app store options for iOS versions.

Apple withdrew from the SPSC Privacy Trade Group

Cite "weak privacy laws"

According to foreign media reports, Apple has opted out of the National Privacy and Security Alliance (SPSC) on the grounds that the alliance is pushing for the "implementation of weak privacy laws."

SpSC describes itself as "a major alliance of Internet, communications, retail and media companies committed to achieving robust and consistent data security, breach notification, privacy and consumer protection regulation," previously made up of giants such as AT&T, Google, Meta and Apple, though Apple has now opted out.

"Apple's decision to leave this secret trading bloc comes as Apple further positions itself as a privacy-friendly technology company," the report said. One source said Apple chose to leave because it was concerned that the legislation the SPSC was pushing would not adequately protect user data. ”

According to a report by Emily Birnbaum, spSC is "pushing states to enforce weak privacy laws," which also highlights spSC's adoption of legislation that benefits industry rather than consumers, which is clearly contrary to Apple's current position.
