Time to PAY UP, Apple...

The video opens with a scan of the current state of technology rumors, starting with Nvidia's upcoming Ampere graphics cards. It cites leaked benchmarks showing a high-end unspecified Nvidia GPU delivering around 33 teraflops, with one leak listing 118 streaming multiprocessors and another 108, suggesting a performance that could outpace existing options and hint at a potential consumer as well as workstation lineup. The host notes that these numbers are unconfirmed and should be treated cautiously, but the chatter signals anticipation for faster GPUs and possible new consumer-class offerings. The discussion then pivots to Apple, recounting the long-running controversy over throttling older iPhone models to manage aging batteries, and how regulators and consumers reacted to the lack of disclosure. The segment emphasizes that Apple is reportedly settling lawsuits for about 500 million dollars, translating to roughly 25 dollars per eligible iPhone, and explains which devices and iOS versions are covered. The host adds a humorous aside about shopping in a dollar store, tying the per-phone settlement to a tangible, everyday purchase. The video also touches on TechLinked’s broader content slate and how it plans to cover ongoing tech news, including a nationwide rollout of AT&T TV as a cable-like service and the complexities of pay TV contracts for viewers. The wrap-up transitions to quick bits across a range of tech topics, from 144 Hz versus potentially extreme 1000 Hz monitors for new games, to the importance of skepticism when rumors surface about AMD and SK Hynix, and concludes with a lighthearted call to stay tuned for the next episode.
