The latest drone footage from Apple shows off new progress at Apple Park

Add as a preferred source on Google

We’re still a ways away from seeing the Apple Park campus unveiled in its full glory (a month, to be exact), but the secretive tech empire is beginning to give us some serious sneak peeks. The latest comes in the form of drone footage that is as straightforward as it gets. It’s an unadulterated look at the campus from the skies, and it goes through just about every angle there may be.

As per the video, there’s work yet to be done on the highly-anticipated campus. The middle of the spaceship campus isn’t quite completed, though other parts of the sprawling community seem to be coming together nicely. There’s a shot of the Steve Jobs Theatre, a look at the underground parking lot (which is still being built), as well as the solar panel roof and the greenery of the campus. Workers can be seen moving about, along with construction vehicles.

The video is simply shot, featuring no on-screen text commentary (unlike its last drone footage update in February) — rather, the drone footage is a succinct birds eye view of Apple Park in extremely high quality. It’s probably the closest that many of us will get to the campus for quite some time, so revel in its beauty, friends.

Apple has slowly revealed more and more details about its flagship campus, though some of those details have proven frustrating, as we reported last month. But hey, perfection takes time, and apparently, a lot of patience.

“Steve was exhilarated, and inspired, by the California landscape, by its light and its expansiveness. It was his favorite setting for thought. Apple Park captures his spirit uncannily well,” said Laurene Powell Jobs, the late CEO’s widow, in a statement in February. “He would have flourished, as the people of Apple surely will, on this luminously designed campus.”

Qualcomm confirms incoming price hike, and rising memory cost isn’t the only driving factor
CEO Cristiano Amon says the increase, effective September 1, is meant to offset broader supply chain costs, including wafer fabrication, packaging, and testing.
The new Qualcomm Snadragon 8 Elite Gen 5

If you were hoping your next Android phone might come with a friendlier price tag, you may want to temper your expectations. Qualcomm just confirmed it's raising chip prices starting September 1, and CEO Cristiano Amon didn't dress up the reason. "Cost went up, prices are going to go up," he told CNBC. Qualcomm chips power a huge share of the world's Android phones, so a hike at the source is likely to reach store shelves eventually.

Rising costs go beyond memory

Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra: Everything we know
Though it will feature improvements across the board, the memory crisis might not spare Samsung’s Fold 8 Ultra.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is not the phone that reimagines what a foldable looks like. That job belongs to its sibling, the wider-screen Galaxy Z Fold 8; the Ultra is the direct successor to the Galaxy Z Fold 7 instead. It carries forward the same tall, narrow design and the same book-style proportions, for the same audience.

If you've used a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold in the past and think that the shape is perfect for you, the Fold 8 Ultra is exactly the right phone for you. It has a sharper inner display, a substantially larger battery, faster charging, and Samsung's new Flex Titanium display structure, which is designed to minimize the crease that has troubled Samsung's foldables for years.
