After reports suggested Apple had scrapped its plans to make in-house 5G modems, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman says the Cupertino company actually has a three-year plan to replace Qualcomm chips with its proprietary technology. Interestingly, the company currently has a deal with Qualcomm to use its chips until at least 2026. This contract would last long enough for Apple to completely revamp its lineup with its own modems, which is one of the boldest changes in the iPhone's history. According to the publication, the first Apple 5G modem will be available in next year's iPhone SE 4. This isn't the first time we've heard this rumor. Multiple sources have corroborated that Apple plans to offer its in-house 5G modem with this iPhone since it has lower sales and already lacks high-end features, such as mmWave technology. Gurman expects this first-generation 5G modem to offer Sub-6 5G technology and lower data speeds, which shouldn't be noticeable in daily usage. Later next year, a mid-tier iPhone, most likely the rumored iPhone 17 Air, is also expected to feature this chip. An entry-level iPad model could feature this chip in the near future as well. Gurman also revealed that Apple is already working on a second-generation 5G modem that could power the future iPhone 18 models. By 2026, this chip would finally add mmWave support, download speeds of 6 gigabits per second, six-carrier aggregation when using Sub-6 5G, and eight-carrier aggregation when using mmWave. When the iPhone reaches its 20-year anniversary in 2027, the company hopes it can top Qualcomm with its modem's performance and AI features. Apple is also aiming to build support for next-generation satellite networks and eventually merge its 5G modem with its main processor, creating the ultimate singular mobile component. Fortunately, it won't be long before we learn more about Apple's plans for its 5G modem. The iPhone SE 4 is expected to be unveiled in early 2025 and feature an all-new design, a faster processor, Apple Intelligence support, and more.

NEW YORK—In a move that has redefined the concept of “retail therapy,” Black Lives Matter (BLM) organizers have announced plans for an “Extended Black Friday Looting Spectacular” in celebration of the recent acquittal of Daniel Penny. According to our sources at Genesius Times, this event promises to be the biggest since the last time someone forgot to unplug their flatscreen TV. “We’re turning this verdict into an opportunity,” declared an unnamed BLM organizer, who was last seen measuring the windows of a high-end electronics store. “If justice won’t be served in the courtroom, it will be served on the streets – with a side of new sneakers.” The event is expected to kick off right after Thanksgiving, extending through what was traditionally known as Black Friday, but which will now be known as “Black Liberation Friday.” “We’re not just looking for discounts; we’re looking for reparations,” the organizer quipped, while adjusting their newly acquired, untouched-by-corporate-greed Gucci sunglasses. Local businesses, already on edge from the holiday shopping season, are bracing for impact. One store owner on Fifth Avenue, who wished to remain anonymous for fear of being the first looter, expressed mixed feelings. “On one hand, it’s terrible for business, but on the other, it might be the only way I can afford to retire early.” The NYPD has responded by promising to distribute more riot gear than Thanksgiving turkeys this year, with Chief of Police stating, “We’re preparing for a shopping spree like no other. It’s like Black Friday, but with less patience and more bullhorns.” Political commentators are divided. Some see this as a new form of protest, while others are just confused about how one can protest by getting a free flatscreen. “Is this activism or just really aggressive couponing?” asked one pundit. In a surprising twist, several major corporations have decided to get in on the action by offering “Looting Discounts.” A leaked memo from a luxury brand suggested that if they “can’t beat them, they might as well join them,” promising a 20% discount on all items taken during the event, no receipt necessary. Meanwhile, Daniel Penny, the man at the center of this storm, has reportedly decided to spend Black Friday in a bunker, watching the chaos unfold from the safety of his legally acquired, non-looted television. As for the rest of us, we’re left to ponder if this is the future of activism or just the most audacious holiday shopping strategy ever conceived. Either way, one thing is clear: this Black Friday, the only thing more dangerous than the crowds will be the satire.
