Samsung's foldable Galaxy F is real and is coming to markets soon: CEO DJ Koh

It would seem that the fabled foldable Galaxy phone, which many had considered to be in the realm of myths and legends, has been finally confirmed by none other than the CEO of Samsung Mobile, DJ Koh. In an interview, the CEO spilled the beans on how Samsung is not only in the process of developing such a device but also how it is racing to deliver it first in the market. The phone has been earlier rumoured to be called as the  Galaxy F , a lineup of smartphones which Samsung had abandoned back in 2014. In the i nterview  with  Forbes   Koh said that "Samsung is focusing on developing innovations that will be genuinely accepted and liked by consumers". The fact that Samsung is racing to deliver this foldable device first means that they are not the only ones in the race. Earlier reports have pointed out to the fact that Apple and LG both have patented a foldable display smartphone technology. For people wondering if the Galaxy F is going to be a one-off c...

Apple’s top spec Mac Pro will likely cost at least $35,000

Apple announced today that its  new Mac Pro  starts at an already pricey $6,000, but the company neglected to mention how much the top-of-the-line model will cost. So we shopped around for equivalent parts to the top-end spec that Apple’s promising. As it turns out: $33,720.88 is likely the  bare minimum  — and that’s before factoring in the four GPUs, which could easily jack that price up to around $45,000. For all that dough, big-budget video editors and other creative types get a lot of firepower: a 28-core Intel Xeon W processor, an almost-impossible-to-comprehend 1.5TB of RAM, 4TB of SSD storage, and four AMD Radeon Pro Vega II Duo GPUs — assuming you can afford one. Add in a  Pro Display XDR monitor  (and  a Pro Stand to go with it ), and you’re looking at a workstation that could clear $50,000. Keep in mind too that these estimates are based on market prices for these (or similar) parts: Apple historically has charged far more for it...
