Apple introduced its first in-house cellular modem, the C1, last week with the announcement of the not-so-budget iPhone 16e, and while it didnt get into too much detail about it, the company reportedly has some big plans for future iterations. According to Bloombergs Mark Gurman, Apple intends to eventually meld the modem component into the main processor. Integrating the modem into the main processor could have energy and cost benefits, but that design is still a ways off. Well likely see the C2 and C3 without it first, which the company is already testing according to Gurman, and the integrated design wont follow until 2028 at the earliest During its unveiling, Apple called the new C1 modem its most power-efficient modem ever in an iPhone. The $599 iPhone 16e also has an A18 chip (but with four GPU cores) and supports Apple Intelligence, even if thats not what people actually wanted out of it.

Youve heard of roguelike, youve heard of Soulslike, but have you ever heard of Rootlike? Root Bear is one of those games that just perfectly encapsulates the spirit of Playdate; its silly as hell, uses the crank and will engage your competitive side as you rack up tips from soda-drinking bears and try to beat your own high score. The game has been a massive success, so its no surprise to see its now inspired the development of other games in its style. Well, one game at least. Pup Cup, which recently arrived on the Playdate Catalog from developer Ledbetter Games, is a Root-like score-chaser where instead of serving soda to bears, youre making delicious sweet treats for dogs (and a few other surprise guests). In Pup Cup, you have 60 seconds to earn as many tail-wags as possible from the dogs who show up to your whipped cream stand. Some might want a towering heap, while others just want a little taste. The key is to fill the pup cup only to the height of the little box hovering over it, or the Good Boy Zone, by putting the crank in the forward position. If you serve too much, whipped cream is going to splat all over the place. But too little will leave the dogs disappointed, and who wants that? Theres also Bork Mode, in which you can pet the dogs and add toppings, like a squeaky rubber duck, to earn yourself some more time. This makes things a little more complicated, though, as you have to pay attention to the D-pad icon that will briefly flash next to the dog in order to know which button to press, and you have to coordinate this correctly with the timing of your pour. Pup Cup is a feel-good take on Root Bear. The gameplay is a little more relaxed, and its hard not to smile at the rotation of cute dogs popping up on your screen. Some of them wear outfits and accessories, and they may end up with a swirl of whipped cream on their nose. Each dog has its own little anxiously waiting animation, and happy customers will give you heart eyes when their orders have been fulfilled. Its adorably goofy. You might even encounter a familiar knife-wielding goose or robotic dog. As if all that wasnt wholesome enough, the team also went out and served pup cups to dogs IRL during the Puppy Bowl. You can get Pup Cup on the Playdate Catalog for $3.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/if-you-liked-the-playdate-game-root-bear-you-should-check-out-pup-cup-201408441.html?src=rss
