Touchscreen MacBook may emerge despite Steve Jobs warning

Steve Jobs (Steve Jobs), Apple\'s co-founder, opposed adding a touchscreen to the MacBook, arguing it was not suitable for long use. At a 2010 \"Back to the Mac\" event, he said prolonged screen touching could cause fatigue and reduce precision, favouring trackpads and mice instead. Apple kept that policy, though it later tried the Touch Bar. Recent foreign reports say Apple is preparing an OLED touchscreen MacBook Pro, though there is no official announcement.

AMD, Intel integrate x86 AI software to counter Arm push

AMD and Intel will work together to make AI development on x86 CPUs easier, HotHardware reported. The two companies plan to integrate their PyTorch optimisation technologies into the open-source oneDNN library. The move is expected to let developers use the same software on processors from both companies and reduce the need to optimise AI workloads separately for each CPU. The cooperation is seen as a response to Arm-based competitors.

Five ways to speed up a slowing iPhone before buying a new one

If an older iPhone feels slower, users may want to try basic steps before upgrading, Engadget reported on Oct. 20. Performance can be affected by low storage, accumulated system data and battery degradation. Suggested measures include freeing storage space, offloading unused apps and optimizing iCloud photo storage, as well as limiting background app refresh. Reducing animations and transparency and adjusting Haptic Touch speed may also help. Checking battery health and replacing a worn battery, or resetting and restoring the device, were also presented as options.
