M2 Mac Pro expected to get delayed

Apple hasn't equipped its Mac Pro line with its latest M2 chip yet. But that might change soon, or soon-ish. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the company is delaying the release of an M2-equipped Mac Pro because it is reportedly developing a new next-generation M2 Ultra chip specifically for the high-end desktop. This M2 Mac Pro will supposedly sport up to 24 CPU cores, 76 graphics cores, and 192GB of RAM. It is less powerful than previous rumours, but that might be a cost-cutting measure for what's already considered a premium (a.k.a. very expensive) desktop. 

Another reason for the delay is Apple looking to move its manufacturing from Texas to Vietnam. The existing Mac Pro models are finalized in Austin, even though its main internal components are made in China. If this move is true, the internal components will continue to be made in China, while its finishing will be done in Vietnam. That should save time in the long run, but it'll affect the release for now.

Aside from introducing its first flip smartphone, OPPO also updated its book-style Find N during its recent OPPO INNO Day event. The OPPO Find N2 is thinner and lighter than its predecessor. It's a bit narrower at 72.6mm when closed (down from 73mm). Its thickness is 14.6mm when closed and 7.4mm when opened (down from 15.9mm and 8mm, respectively). 

OPPO updated its Flexion hinge to reduce its parts from 138 to 100 and use advanced materials like carbon fibre and high-strength alloy. These factors help reduce the OPPO Find N2's weight to 233g. It also helps shrink the crease by 67%, making it less visible. It can hold any angle between 45 and 125 degrees. This allows things like shooting at the waist with the Hasselblad-inspired waist-level finder or using it as a tripod for other photo needs. You can place it on a desk for hands-free video calls or while watching your favourite shows, movies, and other content.
