According to the information via 9to5Mac, a user was facing the issue of overheating in his Apple Watch for a few days, he also informed Apple Support. Recently, the Watch Series 7 exploded and Apple did not want the user to share this information with anyone.
What’s the whole story?
For a few days, a user who was wearing the Apple Watch was feeling uncomfortable, noticed that the watch is getting hotter than before, and also the back of the watch is slightly broken. In addition to this, WatchOS is warning to shut down it again and again due to high temperature.
The user immediately told the whole situation to Apple Support. After diverting several people from the Apple Support team, the call finally came to a manager who only said he will invest but he also did not suggest any solution after this call and the next morning the Watch went off due to an explosion.
Even after the explosion, the user called the Apple Support team and reported the accident. The company arranged for the watch to be taken away and also said that it would be sent to a lab for testing.
Apart from this, the company asked him to sign a document, in which it was written that he would not tell anyone about this incident, but he denied to sign it and informed 9to5Mac about this incident.
Looking at this whole incident, we can say that the Apple support team has made a lot of carelessness, it is good that the user did not wear that watch in his hand at the time of the watch burst. Instead of hiding this, Apple should make other users aware, so that users remain alert and no one is harmed.

Report: Samsung eyes 2nm Exynos 2600 to attract Qualcomm, Nvidia
Samsung Foundry wants to produce Exynos to attract 2nm clients like Qualcomm and Nvidia. Major chip designers have no option other than TSMC for contract semiconductor production.
Digitimes report suggests that Samsung Foundry wants to produce 2nm Exynos 2600 chipset. The company has recently started Exynos 2500’s mass production for Z Flip 7, Korean media reported.
TSMC is producing 3nm Snapdragon 8 Elite chips for Qualcomm. Nvidia also produces its most advanced semiconductors using TSMC’s cutting-edge process nodes.
The latest report indicates that Samsung Foundry is advancing its semiconductor capabilities. The mass production of Exynos 2600 is under consideration for next year.
Samsung Foundry has no other option but to prove its semiconductor capabilities. If the Foundry division manages to secure decent yield rates in the 2nm process, Qualcomm may ink a deal.
Exynos 2600 is a great opportunity to demonstrate the technological innovations of the Foundry division. It would attract key clients like Qualcomm, marking a strategic push for the business.
Samsung will have 2x benefit with the 2nm process technology. The Exynos 2600 would power the Galaxy S26 series – ending the reliance on Qualcomm for Snapdragon chipsets.
Qualcomm will also get the opportunity to negotiate production costs with TSMC. Samsung Foundry is comparatively cheaper than TSMC as there will be two major options for clients.
“Samsung Electronics’ foundry division is advancing its semiconductor capabilities through the mass production of the Exynos 2600 (tentative name), marking a strategic push for self-sufficiency in mobile application processors (APs).” – Digitimes.

Breaking: Samsung Galaxy A56 to get huge charging speed upgrade
Samsung Galaxy A56 5G could get a massive charging speed boost. The company is working on various smartphones to be launched next year. In the latest development, the charging support of the A56 5G was allegedly revealed.
According to 3C, Samsung Galaxy A56 5G supports 45W fast charging. If the listing is true, the A56 is set to get a huge upgrade. With almost double the charging speed, users won’t have to wait much to get the battery juice refilled.
The phone allegedly supports a maximum charging of 10V at 4.5A, reaching 45W. It’s a big upgrade as the previous phones in the same segment offer 25W charging. Notably, the Galaxy S25 is rumored to come with 25W charging support.
Samsung’s Galaxy S24 Plus and S24 Ultra support 45W charging. This year, select non-flagship phones debuted 45W charging capacity. 45W doesn’t sound that big when Chinese vendors introduced up to 240W speeds.
Anyways, it’s a notable upgrade in Samsung’s smartphone segment. Despite the fact that 45W charging isn’t much faster than 25W, it will pave the way for even faster charging on future Samsung Galaxy smartphones.
Galaxy A56 5G Design and Leaked Specs
Samsung could ship the Galaxy A56 with a major design upgrade. The rear panel could get a vertical island to boast the camera sensors. We’ve seen the potential in Galaxy A’s design philosophy in CAD renders of the Galaxy A36 and Galaxy A26.
The phone will debut a new processor, Exynos 1580 likely, with improved performance and efficiency. The conventional 32MP front camera could also be replaced with a new solution featuring 12-megapixel resolution.
Samsung could introduce the Galaxy A56 and A36 smartphones in the first half of the next year.
