Your next iPhone could cost substantially more — Trump threatens 25% tariff
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. President Donald Trump really wants Apple to make iPhones in the United States. Apple attempted to get around the tariffs on goods made in China by moving much of its iPhone manufacturing to India. However, that doesn't appear to be good enough for the President, as he said he would impose "a Tariff of at least 25%" on iPhones made outside of the country. "I have long ago informed Tim Cook of Apple that I expect their iPhone's that will be sold in the United States of America will be manufactured and built in the United States, not India, or anyplace else," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform (typos included). "If that is not the case, a Tariff of at least 25% must be paid by Apple to the U.S. Thank your for your attention to this matter!" Trump recently posted that he "had a little problem with Tim Cook," in response to the Cupertino-based company moving production to India instead of the U.S. Currently, goods made in India are subject to the 10% import tariff that applies to all countries. This is substantially lower than the 30% tax applied to goods from China. Presumably, if Trump imposes a 25% additional tariff on iPhones imported to the U.S., it would be on top of the 10% already there. He said, "at least," which means the fee to import iPhones could be even higher. There's a lot of uncertainty for Apple about importing iPhones to the U.S. While it might be unrealistic to move all production stateside, it may also be the only way Apple can avoid massive fees — fees that will inevitably be passed onto consumers looking for one of the best iPhones. I pixel-peeped the world's fastest gaming monitor — after testing 610Hz, real-life feels laggy I tested the MSI Titan 18 HX — the power is wild, the price is wilder I played 5 games on the RTX 5060 — is this budget GPU actually enough?

Nvidia's rumored gaming laptop APU just spotted in new leak — what we know
The gigantic Computex convention just ended, but some things were missing from the overstuffed event, including Nvidia's first-ever consumer-grade laptop CPU. Nvidia showcased a lot at Computex 2025, including an RTX-powered AI avatar and several RTX 5060 laptops and desktops. MSI even showcased the MS-C931, which features the Nvidia GB10 ARM 'superchip', but that is meant for AI applications and not for everyday use. Unfortunately, we didn't see the rumored gaming laptop APU. Instead, our first look is coming from the YouTuber Moore's Law is Dead, who highlighted the APU in a recent video. In the video (around 40 minutes), Moore's Law shows an image of the new APU that is purportedly an engineering sample of the new silicon, attached to at least eight memory modules. The sample hints at an AMD Strix Halo-esque configuration with an onboard iGPU and a TDP of 80 to 120 watts. Likely, Nvidia's APU will be on an ARM device with a CPU allegedly developed by MediaTek. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. This type of integrated build is likely to be the future of gaming laptops. We can see how well it works with the AMD APU in the Asus ROG Flow Z13. There, we see that dedicated graphics have been ditched in favor of an integrated powerhouse in the Ryzen AI Max 390. Beyond powerful graphics, having it all integrated and quick access to LPDDR means that laptops utilizing this silicon will be more battery efficient, something gaming laptops have lacked until now. Plus, it builds toward a stronger handheld gaming experience as more handheld gaming PCs are likely to feature this kind of architecture. For another hint, the Nintendo Switch 2, which launches next week on June 5, features a custom Nvidia Tegra chip that has already shown how DLSS can extract higher performance out of games. According to the Moore's Law source, the Nvidia APU is expected to launch either late this year or in early 2026, which aligns with previous rumors that suggested we would see this new APU in 2025.

Nvidia's Gaming Business Could Be in Trouble
Nvidia is prioritizing its data center business amid blockbuster AI chip demand. The gaming business is suffering, evidenced by the company's buggy drivers. The RTX 5060 suffers multiple issues and could lose to AMD's upcoming 9060 XT. 10 stocks we like better than Nvidia › Graphics processing unit (GPU) giant Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) now generates most of its revenue from data center GPUs aimed at artificial intelligence (AI) workloads. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, the data center segment produced $35.6 billion in revenue compared to just $2.5 billion for the gaming segment. Given the monstrous growth in AI accelerator demand and Nvidia's complete dominance of that market, it makes sense for the company to prioritize its data center business. However, there's a downside. Nvidia's gaming GPU business isn't getting the attention it needs, and the end result could be significant market share losses to rival AMD (NASDAQ: AMD). Putting out solid, capable hardware is only half the battle. Gaming GPUs also require software drivers that ensure good performance with minimal bugs across a wide range of old and new games. Buggy software was the main reason Intel's first attempt at discrete graphics cards largely fell flat. Nvidia now seems to be falling into the same trap. Reports of instability, crashes, and bugs related to Nvidia's drivers have been piling up this year. The recent launch of the RTX 5060, a midrange graphics card that starts at $299, has only escalated the situation. So far, reviews of the RTX 5060 have been borderline disastrous. The affordable graphics card will be a tough sell due to Nvidia's driver issues. In Rock Paper Shotgun's RTX 5060 review, the new graphics card experienced crashes, severe frame rate drops, and other performance anomalies. In some cases, using Nvidia's AI-powered DLSS frame generation feature would result in worse performance. Nvidia has been pushing that feature hard to bump up perceived frame rates in games, so the DLSS troubles are particularly embarrassing. Another problem is the meager 8 gigabytes (GB) of VRAM included. In Techspot's review, the RTX 5060 runs into problems at higher resolutions in certain games, losing badly in some cases to last-gen cards with more VRAM. In light of AMD's upcoming Radeon 9060 XT, Techspot called the RTX 5060 "dead on arrival." Ouch. AMD plans to launch its Radeon 9060 XT on June 5. Two versions will be available: an 8 GB variant for $299 and a 16 GB variant for $349. While the cheaper version will run into some of the same problems as the RTX 5060, the 16 GB version could end up being a big winner among gamers on a budget who are looking to upgrade. Nvidia's driver debacle is a gift for AMD as it looks to steal away market share. Nvidia's GPU market share was as high as 90% in the third quarter of 2024, so the company has plenty to lose. For the vast number of PC gamers using older Nvidia GPUs, the RTX 5060 won't look enticing based on the negative reviews. If AMD's 9060 XT fares better with reviewers, customer loyalty may not be enough to keep gamers in Nvidia's camp. Given how much revenue and profit Nvidia's data center GPUs are generating, even meaningful market share losses in the gaming segment won't matter much. It would be a much bigger deal for AMD, which has been struggling with declining gaming sales. If AMD can take advantage of Nvidia's apparent disinterest in the gaming business, the company could get a nice revenue boost this year.

I got roasted for loving RTX 5060 gaming laptops — so I hit back with hard benchmarks
So as you may have seen, I've been able to put the RTX 5060 through its paces here at Computex 2025 — both the desktop and laptop version. And, in my opinion, they're better than you think. Nothing worth upgrading to if you have a 40-series card/laptop at all, but you already knew that. And some of the recent reviews agree with me about the price-to-performance. Because at the end of the day, for something cheaper, AI trickery is always going to be the name of the game. And most people looking to 5060 will be first timers who just want to know "will it play my games well?" The kind of folk like my mates who are lured into talking about GPUs with me at the bar after seeing the supercar RTX 5090, but walk out the dealership with the more functional (and cheaper) station wagon in the 5060. But that doesn't mean I don't see the comments and emails I get from people — saying "how dare you praise the RTX 5060." …well not actually that, as what this reader actually said, I can't repeat for risk of getting the site knocked out of Google search! I wanted to explore this further, to give you an even clearer picture of what I saw, and really try to back up what I'm saying. So I headed over to MSI, grabbed the Stealth A16 and benchmarked it properly to give you some more specific data of where this sits in the whole GPU ecosystem. Laptop makers are coming at making 5060 systems in all kinds of ways — from slapping it in the more premium shell of the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (with an equally premium price tag) to going big on the screen with the aforementioned Stealth A16. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. But these do come at a price that puts them quite far over the MSRP dictated by Nvidia, so i've done the research and found the best value for money options. Starting with a strong all-rounder of a laptop – the LOQ 15 takes a lot of what makes the Legion lineup strong, while reducing costs at the same time. Specs-wise, you're getting an Intel Core i7-13650HX, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. For some extra power without the big price tag increase, look to the Cyborg A15. The build quality is not as premium as the LOQ, and the display isn't as good either. But that's the trade-off for AMD Ryzen R9, 32GB DDR5 RAM and 1 TB SSD. It's up to you what matters to you between all-round laptop experience or the most power. So let's get into it. To give you as much transparency as I can, alongside the 5060, this also has 16GB of DDR5 RAM, a 512GB SSD, and an AMD CPU that I'm not allowed to talk about (yet). So let's get into it. Laptop 3DMark Time Spy 3DMark Steel Nomad Cyberpunk (1080p High/Ray Tracing Psycho settings) MSI Stealth A16 (RTX 5060) 11407 2403 33.9 FPS MSI Crosshair 18 HX AI (RTDX 5070) 14203 2812 40.2 FPS Asus TUF Gaming A14 (RTX 4060) 9458 2029 29.6 FPS Asus TUF Dash F15 (RTX 3060) 8979 n/a n/a As you can see, you're getting a 15-20% improvement over RTX 4060 laptops, and even higher over 3060. It also fits logically into the RTX family with it tucking in around 20% behind RTX 5070. And that's before applying the DLSS goodness to it as well, and when multi-frame gen gets involved, that number can easily reach up to 150 FPS vs the 60-70 FPS you see on a 4060 system. But when you put them in a straight face-off, the use of an identical Blackwell architecture between 50 and 40-series with just more cores added does lead to those smaller gains. When I read the comments and emails I recieve, honestly, I get it. And it comes down to some of Nvidia's odd behavior when working with the press. I understand the frustration around not releasing the full 5060 drivers until launching the card itself, and the specific controls on what games can and can't be tested in early previews. It will leaves gamers feeling more dubious about the claims being made, and when you show comparisons with vague graphs, that further ignites doubt. Then there's the big question about what kind of company Nvidia is. With its GPUs being AI powerhouses, Team Green has found itself being the only seller in town of the picks and shovels for this gold rush — furnishing the likes of OpenAI and Meta to rapidly become a 3.2 trillion-dollar company. In fact, gaming only accounts for 8.7% of Nvidia's total revenue, while nearly 90% of the pie comes from its data center tech. And this pivot was on full display too at Computex. Huang spent about 45 seconds talking about the RTX 5060 before moving swiftly on to the remaining 90 minutes of AI, robotics and data center talk. However, because a company has a big moneymaker elsewhere doesn't mean it won't try, and we can still glean data-driven information from the clarity of the picture we have in front of us. And that picture is a little more optimistic than the weird comms will have you think. 8GB and all, this is a strong lower-mid range GPU that unlocks some smooth game performance and paves the way forward for DLSS to take center stage as the way gameplay improves. When I say it's the top pick for most people, I mean it. But of course there are some conditions to this that I'll happily spell out. Being smart with your money at a time like this is always the right thing to do, and 5060 is not going to be the smart buy for everyone. So of course those who know a thing or two about GPUs, and have direct interaction with vastly more powerful systems will laugh this off. But I'm not talking to them, I'm talking to you — the gamers who have stuck religiously to an old laptop, or those who are flirting with the idea of buying your first portable system. For you, based on the numbers I'm seeing, you can't go far wrong with these.
