No information about pricing options has been leaked yet, but it's safe to say Moto G96 will cost a bit more than Moto G86, which made its debut last month. For reference, Moto G86 was priced to sell for as low as €330 / £300 in Europe.
For what is worth, Moto G96 offers a little bit more power in the same sleek chassis that Motorola fans are very familiar with. Non-tech savvy customers are unlikely to notice the subtle design differences between the various Moto G series phones.No information about pricing options has been leaked yet, but it's safe to say Moto G96 will cost a bit more than Moto G86, which made its debut last month.

Motorola introduced a mid-range trio last month , but there's one device missing from the collection, the Moto G96 5G. Although the smartphone was previously leaked, it was not among the devices Motorola launched at the end of May.The new Moto G56 5G, Moto G86 5G, and Moto G86 Power 5G made their debut in Europe but are unlikely to be introduced in the United States. The same can be said about the Moto G96, a phone that hasn't been announced yet, but already had its specs sheet and design leaked a while ago The latest Moto G96 pictures reveal a very noticeable premium-looking design for Motorola's mid-range phone , and the information that comes with the images confirm this statement.Motorola will be continuing its successful partnership with Pantone, which is why the Moto G96 will be available in these vivid colors: Catteleya Orchid, Dresden Blue, Greener Pastures, Asheligh Blue. Besides these bright hues, customers will also be able to choose the premium option, which is the vegan faux leather model.If we put the Moto G96 and Moto G86 sides by side or compare any of the three phones launched last month by Motorola with the Moto G96, they look virtually the same. The only difference lies in the size and shape of the camera island.

Apple's latest EU App Store update unlocks more freedom for developers
Previously, developers who opted into Apple's EU-specific terms were only allowed to include one static URL in their apps, with strict limits on tracking, redirects, and where those links could lead. These developers were also only allowed to promote offers tied to their own websites. Under the new policy, those limitations are being lifted. Developers can now promote their offers across more platforms, including other apps, external websites, and alternative app stores. These promotions can appear directly inside their apps through either in-app interfaces or webviews. They can also use multiple URLs and include tracking parameters or redirects. Apple is also softening its approach to the warning message users see when clicking on external links. This message will now only appear the first time, with an option to turn it off for future interactions in the same app. These updates are effective immediately for EU developers. — Apple representative in a statement to 9to5Mac Apple is also making several changes to the way it charges fees. A new 2% Initial Acquisition Fee will apply to sales of digital goods and services made by new users during their first six months. This fee is waived for developers in the Small Business Program and for returning users. In addition, Apple is dividing its Store Services Fee into two levels. Tier One includes basic services like app distribution and security features and comes with a 5% fee. This tier leaves out many typical App Store features such as automatic updates, App Store search visibility, and user reviews. Tier Two includes all standard services and comes with a 13% fee, or 10% for small developers or long-term subscriptions. Apple is also adjusting its Core Technology Fee. Developers on the standard terms will now have the option to pay a 5% commission on sales made through promoted external payments instead of the €0.50 per-install fee that applies once an app exceeds 1 million annual installs. By January 1, 2026, Apple says it will shift to a single business model in the EU that uses this commission-based structure for all developers. The company has until July 7 to submit its appeal. While Apple's latest changes do give developers more freedom, it's clear the company is still trying to maintain control over its ecosystem. By loosening rules around linking, promotions, and payment options, Apple is finally giving ground in areas it long held tightly. However, the introduction of new fees and tiered services shows it isn't backing down entirely. In my opinion, whether this marks the beginning of a more open App Store or just a temporary concession remains to be seen. The EU may continue to pressure Apple into further changes, which it has already done by going after AirDrop and AirPlay, or Apple could succeed in shaping the final outcome through its appeal. For now, developers in the EU have a bit more room to operate, but the full picture is far from settled. Secure your connection now at a bargain price!

Samsung Foundry plans to pay for top sales talent to take business away from TSMC
TSMC is the world's largest foundry with a market share in the 65%-67% range. Samsung Foundry is a distant second thanks to the low yields it has achieved on advanced chip production. This makes it more costly for Samsung's customers to use the foundry instead of TSMC since low yields mean fewer chips can be produced at the same price. This is the exact reason why Qualcomm dropped Samsung Foundry in 2022. At the time, Samsung Foundry was manufacturing the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and reportedly had a 35% yield. TSMC's 4nm yield rate was 70% at the time. As a result, Qualcomm picked up all of its marbles from Samsung's playground and moved them to TSMC. The latter built the slightly reconfigured Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 and has manufactured all of Qualcomm's flagship Snapdragon application processors since then. There is no denying that the Taiwan-based chip foundry has a star-studded list of clients that are among the top names in tech including Apple, AMD, Nvidia, MediaTek, Qualcomm, and more. Thanks to Samsung Foundry's poor yields, Qualcomm switched to TSMC to make the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. | Image credit-PhoneArena Samsung Foundry might catch a break if it can improve yields on the production of Samsung's own Exynos 2600 application processor which will be built on the foundry's 2nm process node. If Samsung Foundry can get its yield up enough to ensure the production of the number of chips Samsung needs, the Exynos 2600 will power the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 + in most markets and those models will become the first smartphones to feature a 2nm application processor. Usually, the iPhone has been the device that welcomed the next cutting-edge process node. But next year, if Samsung plays its cards right, this honor will belong to the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 +. Ironically, the Galaxy S26 Ultra, the top-of-the-line model, will be powered by a 3nm Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 for Galaxy and won't be involved in any record-breaking historical moments. Samsung has been supposedly looking to spin off or sell its Foundry. Until a deal can be made to its liking, Samsung hopes to generate more revenue for the unit by trying to convince TSMC's customers to make the switch to Samsung Foundry. The latter hired away a former TSMC sales executive earlier this year and a report out of Korea states that Samsung is willing to pay as much as $300,000 to pros looking to join Samsung Foundry's sales team in the U.S. Both Samsung and TSMC have built U.S. fabs and TSMC has started producing 4nm chips in Arizona and will build 2nm components in 2028. Samsung's timeline has it ahead of TSMC in the States. In Taylor, Texas, Samsung Foundry will mass produce 2nm chips in 2026. Samsung needs a strong order flow to keep the Taylor, Texas line humming, churning out advanced chips. That is why Samsung Foundry will pay California-based salesmen as much as $300,000. A foundry sales director can earn as much as $319,800 and a senior manager inside a foundry's customer service unit, can draw a salary within the $180,950 to $289,050 range. The salaries Samsung is willing to pay in the U.S. top what it is paying for the same jobs in South Korea. The new hires will have the task of increasing Samsung Foundry's market share in the United States. Some of TSMC's customers in Taiwan will also take delivery of chips built in the U.S. including Apple, AMD, Nvidia, and Qualcomm. TSMC is already shipping 4nm chips from its Arizona fab to Apple and Nvidia. Semiconductors built in Arizona will not face any tariffs which is part of the appeal of purchasing domestically manufactured chips. Depending on which report you read, the third largest foundry globally is China's SMIC. The latter manufactures the chips designed by Huawei and is the largest foundry in the country.
