If the question is, should I buy the iPhone 16 now or wait for the iPhone SE 4, the answer is: there is no certainty.

by

There are two types of users at Apple: those who want the best of the best and go for the most expensive model and those who simply want a “basic” iPhone that allows them to get into iOS in the most economical way possible. At this time of the year, with the iPhone 16 settled, there are many who are waiting for the new iPhone SE 4. A phone that will finally say goodbye to the design that they have been recycling since the iPhone 6, and that according to rumors will be more similar to the iPhone 14. The question is clear: should I buy an iPhone 15/16, or wait for the new SE? The answer is not so easy. What we expect from the iPhone SE 4. According to the leaksthe iPhone SE 4 will inherit the body of the iPhone 14, including the notch. However, there is contradictory information, because the latest rumors speak of a possible dynamic island. Be that as it may, it is expected to be a phone with specifications similar to the iPhone from two generations ago. Let’s talk about specifications. If you buy an iPhone 16, you are buying a phone with the latest Apple processor, a camera system practically identical to the previous model (iPhone 15) and very good autonomy. The iPhone 15 is practically the same phone, with a little less RAM (this is key, since it is left without Apple Intelligence), without camera control and with a little less autonomy. It is a great purchase in terms of quality and price, since you get almost the same phone for less. What will happen to the iPhone SE4? Nobody knows. The last model had the Apple A15 Bionic, the processor of the iPhone 13 Pro. Nothing prevents, therefore, this iPhone SE4 from incorporating the Apple A17 Bionic of the iPhone 15. It will not be an easy decision for Apple. If you want this phone to have Apple Intelligence, the most logical combination is the A18 of the iPhone 16 and 8 GB of RAM. Specifications that would collide head-on with those of its older brother. Let’s talk about money. The iPhone SE went on the market in its latest iteration for 529 euros. An iPhone 16 costs 959 euros. We don’t know the price of the SE, but a too high increase is not expected. With luck, it would be below 600 euros. The iPhone 16 can easily be purchased for around 750/800 euros new if we search a little, and the iPhone 15 can be purchased for just under 700 euros. The main asset of the iPhone SE 4 has to be its price. If the difference compared to an iPhone 16 is around 200 euros, it may be a sensible purchase.

Someone has asked video game developers what they are being dedicated and the answer has been Unani: A PC

by

The PC is the most complete platform to play. While a console binds us to pre -installed hardware, a PC admits the constant update of the components, allows us to access more gross power, all kinds of settings in the games and well, it allows us to do many other things that are not playing. The PC, ultimately, is important and is increasinglysomething that is demonstrated in the State of the Industry Report 2025 That the game developers conference has just published. The data. According to the report, 80% of the more than 3,000 developers who have completed the survey sent by the GDC are developing PC games. The figure contrasts with the consoles. Only 38% of developers are working on games for PlayStation 5 And something less, 34%, work in games for Xbox Series x|S. GDC survey results | Image: GDC Brutal growth. The percentage of developers making games for PC has not stopped increasing. In 2020 it was 56%. In 2021 it went to 58%. In 2022 the figure grew to 22%. In 2023 it was 65% and last year, 66%. The jump has been huge for a year so far and is proof that PC gaming is more alive than ever. Only last year 19,000 games were published only in Steamwhich says a lot. Another thing is that all those games end, indeed, playing. Spoiler: No. 80% barely played. The reason? From the GDC they are not clear, but they believe that it could be related to “the growing popularity of the Steam Deck De Valve “. According to the report,” this year’s survey has not highlighted Steam (or Valve’s laptop) as its own platform, because it is a PC and Mac game center. But it seems that some developers do They consider it a unique platform. For example, when they were asked to name other platforms that interest them, almost half (44%) wrote Steam Deck. “ If something has taught us Nintendo with his Nintendo Switch is that the portable format works and likes. Valve has done it greatly with the Steam Deck and the alternatives are increasingly complete and powerful. It is normal for developers to look at this format with interest, to the point that Microsoft works on their own console. As a curious fact, only 20% of the devs work in games for Nintendo Switch and only 12% for Linux, which is the basis of We are. On the other hand, it is no secret that publishing games on PC is much simpler than publishing them on consoles, so it makes sense that the PC is the first great option. Image | Unspash The bias. The GDC survey is quite revealing, but it has a problem. 58% of respondents are from the United States and 16% are from the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia. The rest of the world has a rather reduced presence and that means one thing: that the interest of one of the most important markets in the world is not reflected. We speak, of course, about China, a country in which mobile gaming is religion. Although the GDC survey shows that 28-29% of developers work in mobile games, the truth is that, if there is a greater presence of Chinese, Japanese and Korean respondents, the photo would be very different. The mobile would probably be one of the big platforms for two reasons: scope and income. The Middle Gaming PC. According to Steam datathe average PC player has a Windows 11, 16 GB of RAM, a processor between 2.3 and 2.69 GHz, a GeForce RTX 3060 NVIDIA, a FullHD monitor and a storage tea installed.

China is closely monitoring the United States movement with Stargate. And your answer has already prepared

by

The US government led by Donald Trump is determined to lead in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) cost what it costs. And in principle this initiative, baptized by the new administration as ‘Stargate project’it will cost 500,000 million dollars. This money will leave the coffers of the Japanese investment group SoftBank; of those of OpenAI, the creators of Chatgpt; of those of Oracle, and, finally, it will also be provided by the investment firm Emiraratí MGX. These companies will support the construction during the next four years of an advanced data centers that will house the high performance computing infrastructure necessary to keep the US at the head in the field of AI. Interestingly, the spearhead of these facilities is already being built in Texas (USA). For China, this ambitious US project represents a threat to the same extent that for the country led by Donald Trump Chinese advances in AI constitute a problem. China’s response is already underway The administration headed by Xi Jinping has rushed to make the US know that its Stargate plan will receive an answer from your country. “China has made impressive advances in the construction of smart computer centers. While maintaining the current rhythm, the gap in the field of computing infrastructure that separates them from the US will be reduced even more … despite the Stargate project,” has declared Lian JyeChief analyst of the British consultant OMDIA. China has advanced a lot during the last 24 months in the field of high performance computing infrastructure SANCTIONS TO CHINA deployed by the US and its allies During the last two and a half years they pursue the development of their semiconductor industry, and Also from its AI infrastructure. In the field of integrated circuits Chinese manufacturers face the enormous challenge of producing their own equipment from extreme ultraviolet lithography (UVE) necessary to be able to manufacture avant -garde semiconductors. However, in the field of Chinese high performance computing infrastructures it has advanced a lot during the last 24 months. In fact, Official data They reflect that in June 2024 they were recently finished or under construction at least 250 advanced data centers and other computer facilities in China. According to the Chinese Academy of Information and Communications Technology, the country led by Xi Jinping is only behind the US. Although This source is interestedhis conclusion is very credible. “We hope that China significantly increase its investments in AI and semiconductors in response to the US domain in AI,” CBM consultancy analysts foresee. It makes sense. These two great powers world supremacy are being disputedso it is understandable that each significant step that give one of the two Receive a more or less overwhelming answer from the other. We can be sure that 2025 will be a year even more agitated than 2024 in the geopolitical and technological fields, so we will be attentive to the steps that US and China will surely give.

If the question is who wants to build the world’s largest data center, the answer is surprising: India

by

The data centers is the new gold fever of technology. That Mukesh Ambani, the founding billionaire of the company Reliance Group. His intention is to go beyond what the great American technological ones promise and build in India the largest data center worldwide. 3 GW. That is the energy capacity that Ambani projects for a new data center that wants to build in Jamnagar. This is stated by sources close to the project In Bloomberg. Akash Abani, CEO and son of the founder, said in a recent statement that they were building a data center in less than two years “as we have always done in – in 24 months.” An irreverent figure. At present, the largest mute data centers are below 1 GW of energy capacity, as indicated in Bloomberg with data from the DC Byte consultant. In visual capitalist They showed a year ago the largest data centers in the world. To be able to compare with the Indian project, a fact: all AWS data centers in the Northern Virginia region, in the US, about 300, add a total of 2.5 GW, when one in India could have more energy capacity that all those United centers. Amazing. The most capacity data center in the world is currently from Microsoft in Boydton, Virginia, with almost 600 MW of energy capacity. The more energy, the better. Data centers are usually measured by the energy they can provide to their servers, their cooling systems and the rest of the equipment of these facilities. The larger the figure, the more computing capacity, and here the AI ​​models have created a career to build more and larger data centers. Ambani for all. The tycoon is known for his aggressive tactics to have his rivals with price wars that few can sustain. It happened in the mobile segment and now wants to take the strategy to AI. Its objective is to reduce inference costs to a minimum to become an absolute reference in this market. This was stated In a statement highlighting that “our goal is to create the cheapest artificial intelligence in the world, right here, in India.” Astronomical cost. However, it is not clear how Reliance will finance this potential operation. According to Bloomberg estimates, a data center could have a cost of between 20 and 30,000 million dollars. Reliance Industry, the main division of the group, has about 26,000 million dollars. Jamnagar. The Indian city has a population of 650,000 people. There is the refining and petrochemical complex of Reliance, the largest in the world, but also Reliance wants to build there a renewable energy complex huge These energy sources would be especially used in that data center. Stargate in the spotlight. These days there is much of what to talk about in data centers, especially after the announcement of Openai and Softbank of PROJECT STARGATE to create a series of data centers in the US with a gigantic investment of 500,000 million dollars. There are no specific details of the energy capacity that is discussed in that case, but with that investment that data would be equally colossal.

If the question is “can a country sustain itself with renewable energy alone”, the answer is right here: Portugal

by

Two years ago, Portugal reached 75% renewable electricity thanks to the expansion of hydroelectric, wind and solar energy. However, this new year seems to be closer to that goal on an annual basis. In short. In a recent report from Ember, Portugal has achieved a milestone by becoming a pioneer in the global energy transition. Before closing this last year, because only 10% of its electricity consumption came from fossil fuels. This represents a record low, with electricity production from gas and other “dirty” sources falling to 5.1 TWh, the lowest figure since 1979. Additionally, locally generated renewables met 71% of the country’s energy needs, while an additional 20% came from mostly low-carbon imports from Spain. Reducing emissions. Spain’s neighbor has shown that it is possible to drastically reduce dependence on fossil fuels without compromising energy supply. This achievement has placed the Portuguese country as a pioneer, aligned with other leading countries like Denmark and Chileand projects a future where more than 90% of its energy will be renewable by 2030. In addition, the definitive closure of its last coal plant in 2021 underlines its commitment to this agenda. Regarding the consumption of gas to generate electricity, it has decreased by almost half from one year to the next, demonstrating the change in the Portuguese energy system. Ultimately, total gas consumption has fallen by 17%, marking its lowest level since 2003. In data. The International Energy Agency has shown that Portugal has achieved this boom in renewables, thanks to public policies, strategic investments and a focus on the development of clean infrastructure. In 2024, Portugal’s electricity mix was made up of 28% hydroelectric, closely followed by 27% wind energy, 10% solar, 6% biomass and 20% imports from Spain, which complement each other. . Imports from Spain. A part of the electricity consumption in Portugal comes from the Spanish electricity networks. This exchange has reinforced the collaboration between both countries in the Iberian Peninsula, where the energy of both nations totals 82% coming from clean sources. By sharing a well-interconnected electricity grid and prioritizing decarbonization, our neighboring country benefits from a mostly low-carbon import, which reinforces its commitment to a sustainable energy matrix. This cooperation model demonstrates how regional alliances can accelerate the energy transition and guarantee supply stability in a context of high renewable penetration.
