Which are the most popular and least popular iPhone 15 models in India so far

Last week, Apple launched the most awaited iPhone 15 series along with the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra second generation. As usual, the tech giant has rolled out four models in the iPhone 15 series. They are the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. Similar to last year, the iPhone 15 Plus appears to have been sidelined by the users. On the contrary, it seems that the iPhone 15 and the high-end Pro Max have become the favored models in the series. Let's take a look at which iPhone 15 models are the most and least popular among users.

According to Google Trends, the iPhone 15 is the one that has been searched by most people. However, some users might also use the “iPhone 15” term to look for other models if they are not familiar with the specific names. Additionally, The Economic Times revealed in a report that the new iPhone 15 series has won many hearts. If compared to last year, then about 20-25 percent more pre-bookings have been done this year.

The iPhone 15 gave all the reasons to users to love it. Being the standard model, the smartphone is offering a lot this year, and that too at the same prices as last year. However, the iPhone 15 is not the only favourite smartphone among users. The iPhone 15 Pro Max is also expected to be sold at an increased amount this year. Apple is also said to have increased launch stock up to 3,00,000 units.

Now let’s get to the least popular iPhone 15 model. Being the middle child, this could be the iPhone 15 Plus. Why? Because people either look to purchase the standard model or the high-end variants. The iPhone 15 Plus is the same smartphone as the iPhone 15. The only difference is that it has a bigger battery and display on which even I don’t want to spend ₹10,000 more.

OnePlus to launch the Pad Go with a 24K resolution display: Design, availability, and more features revealed

OnePlus has finally confirmed its first budget tablet - The OnePlus Pad Go. The Go will succeed the OnePlus Pad which is a high-end tablet. The Chinese brand rolled out its first tablet in India on the 25th of April and is now set to drop another tablet in the country. The brand has confirmed the launch date of the upcoming OnePlus Pad Go as October 6th. Additionally, along with the launch announcement, the company has also revealed the first look of the tablet, which shows a lot of resemblance in design with its predecessor. 

The OnePlus Pad Go shares a lot of design elements similar to the previously launched tablet. It will have a curved-edge design and a circular camera module right at the centre of the back. Next up, there are two different textures on the back, matte and glossy. OnePlus revealed the Pad Go in the ‘Twin Mint’ colour. This colour option is very similar to the one we have seen in the OnePlus Pad.

As for the specifications, the brand has not revealed much except that it would feature a 2.4K resolution display with a 7:5 aspect ratio, confirmed the OnePlus COO, Kinder Liu. The COO further confirmed that the OnePlus Pad Go will run on OxygenOS 13, which is based on the Android 13 operating system. However, there are rumours afoot that it might launch with an Android 14-based skin out of the box.

Kinder Liu also talked about the Content Sync feature. This will help users to share files between OnePlus tablets and smartphones. Furthermore, for multiple device compatibility, there will be a shared hotspot that can help in data sharing, screen mirroring, notification syncing, and call management.

Google Tensor G4 wont be a big upgrade over Pixel 8s Tensor G3: Report

With the release of the Pixel 6, Google unveiled its first Tensor chipset, aiming to grow independent of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon. Interestingly, these Tensor chips were developed in collaboration with Samsung and incorporate certain elements from Google, while drawing substantial inspiration from Samsung's Exynos chips. According to a recent report, this will remain the same, extending into the development of the forthcoming Tensor G3 and Tensor G4 chips.

According to a report by Android Authority, citing a “Google insider”, Tensor G4 in the Google Pixel 9 won’t be a very big upgrade.

Also read: Google may pray for AI to save Tensor G3 chip’s reputation in Pixel 8 phones

While Tensor G3 is known as “Zuma,” Tensor G4 is codenamed “Zuma Pro,” according to the report.

Also read: Smartphone or digital thermometer? Google Pixel 8 Pro will be both!

Google's minot Tensor G4 chip upgrade and beyond

The new chip is expected to still be semi-custom and co-designed with Samsung. Also, it will likely be a minor upgrade than initially planned. This is similar to how Tensor G2 was a small update over the original Tensor.

The report further mentioned that Google has also started working on the next-generation fully-custom Tensor chip codename “Laguna Beach” for 2025 Pixels, and the development board for this chip is codenamed “Deepspace.” 

Google initially had plans to introduce its 2024 Pixel series featuring a "fully custom" Tensor SoC, codenamed "Redondo," built using a TSMC process node. However, due to a missed deadline, the chip arrived too late for inclusion in the 2024 Pixel 9 series. 

Earlier, it was rumoured that the upcoming Tensor G3 chipset won’t have as good a performance as its other flagship counterparts. This could be a potential deal breaker, if true. But that’s not all, rumours also suggested that this Google chip will be coming with top notch AI under the hood, which would allow Google to still showcase some never-before-seen applications on the Pixel 8 smartphone later this year – and save its reputation.

Google Chromes new Organize Tabs feature could save you from chaos of open tabs

Google is reportedly working on a new ‘Organize Tabs’ feature for Google Chrome. This feature is expected to help users manage the chaos of multiple open tabs.

According to findings by browser researcher Leopeva64, the recent release of Chrome 119 in the Canary channel hints at Google experimenting with a new ‘Organize Tabs’ feature, reports Android Police.

The exact workings of this feature are currently undisclosed.

— Leopeva64 (@Leopeva64) September 13, 2023

The introduction of the Organize Tabs feature could potentially bring several benefits to users. Users will likely find it easier to manage their tabs, especially when dealing with a large number of open tabs. Also, the ability to reorder tabs, move them to different windows, or group them together could enhance productivity. By tailoring their browsing experience to their specific needs, users might also be able to create a more streamlined and efficient workflow.

Moreover, the feature is expected to help users reduce the clutter in their browser interface, making it easier to find and navigate to specific webpages.

Last week, Google announced a new look for Chrome on desktop. “Based on our Material You design language, we’ve refreshed Chrome’s icons with a focus on legibility and created new colour palettes that better complement your tabs and toolbar,” the tech giant said. 

Google also introduced other improvements that make it easier to use Google Chrome, like a more comprehensive menu for faster access to Chrome extensions, Google Translate, Google Password Manager and more. Additionally, users will now see the same Material You style in the Chrome Web Store, making it easier to discover helpful extensions. 

In addition to getting a fresh, modern interface, the store now also features new extension categories like AI-powered extensions and Editors' spotlight.

iPhone 12 sale has been shockingly banned in France: Heres why

French regulators have ordered Apple to stop the sale of iPhone 12 devices due to concerns that they exceed the European Union's permissible limits for electromagnetic radiation emissions. However, the company disputed the findings and said that the device adheres to regulatory standards.

According to a report by The Associated Press, the French government agency responsible for overseeing wireless communication frequencies issued this order following the iPhone 12's recent failure in one of the two tests for electromagnetic waves that can be absorbed by the human body.

Also read: Apple iPhone 12 Review : The iPhone of choice for 2020

The reasons behind the phone's failure in the latest round of tests and why it was only that specific model, which was launched in late 2020, remain unclear. 

France’s digital minister said that the radiation levels emitted by the iPhone 12 are still significantly below the levels identified by scientific studies as potentially harmful to users. Furthermore, the agency conducting the tests also itself acknowledges that their assessments may not accurately reflect typical phone usage conditions.

Earlier this week, the National Frequency Agency called on Apple, urging the tech giant to "implement all available means to rapidly fix this malfunction”. Additionally, the agency stated that it would closely monitor device updates. If these updates fail to address the problem,  “Apple will have to recall”  smartphones that have already been sold.

“The agency recently tested 141 cellphones and found that when the iPhone 12 is held in a hand or carried in a pocket, its level of electromagnetic energy absorption is 5.74 watts per kilogram, higher than the EU standard of 4 watts per kilogram,” the report said.

According to Jean-Noel Barrot, France’s minister in charge of digital issues, the iPhone 12’s radiation levels are “slightly higher” than EU standards but “significantly lower than levels where scientific studies consider there may be consequences for users. But the rule is the rule.”

OnePlus Pad Go first look: OnePkus India teases new tablet to launch soon

For a long time now, OnePlus has been expected to launch a new affordable tablet, the OnePlus Pad Go. The Pad Go will be the successor of the OnePlus Pad, which launched in April in India. The OnePlus Pad is a high-end tablet that packs specifications such as MediaTek Dimensity 9000, 144Hz display, and much more. The OnePlus Pad was launched in India at a price of ₹37,999. It is no surprise that the Chinese brand wants to provide its fans with an affordable tablet as well. 

OnePlus India has shared a line sketch poster of a tablet on X (formerly Twitter) with the caption, “All Play, All Day coming soon.” Interestingly, the brand did not mention the product's name in the post but invited users to make their guesses. 

This post hints at three key points: firstly, that OnePlus is gearing up to launch a new tablet, which is likely to be the Pad Go, and secondly, the 'All Play, All Day' quote hints at a device with a long-lasting battery. The third key point is the design; it appears that the OnePlus Pad Go may feature a familiar design reminiscent of its predecessor, with a circular camera module positioned in the center on the back.  Notably, the OnePlus India website also features a dedicated microsite that echoes the message from the social media post.

Also read: OnePlus finally reveals the price of the OnePlus Pad on April 25 as promised

A few days ago, Yogesh Brar collaborated with MySmartPrice and tipped the launch timeline of the OnePlus Pad Go. The tipster said that OnePlus could roll out the Pad Go next year in January, most likely with the OnePlus 12 series. However, OnePlus is claiming to launch a new tablet soon and January 2024 is not soon at all. So either this leak could be wrong or OnePlus might launch some other tablet before January. 

Also read: Realme Pad 2 confirmed, could feature a 120 Hz display

As for the specifications, the company has not revealed any specifications about the OnePlus Pad Go and neither the leaks do. However, it is expected to launch around the price range of ₹20,000. You have to wait a little longer to know more about this new tablet, until then stay tuned.

iPhone 15 Pros new Action Button can do lots of cool stuff: Full list inside

The wait is over and Apple has dropped the most awaited iPhone 15 series. The new iPhone 15 series comes with a lot of new features including design, hardware, and software as well. Among these features, Apple has introduced a new ‘Action Button’ in the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. The Action Button had long been speculated for the iPhone 15 series. This new button has switched the signature mute slider that’s been there in iPhones since 2007. The Action Button not only mutes the smartphones but can do much more. Let’s check out its features. 

The Action Button here is a programmable button that iPhones will use for shortcuts. The Action Button can be used by tapping it once and holding it. That means, at once, you can use it for two commands of one feature. At default, it is just a muting button, which can be used to mute and unmute the iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max. But you can customise the Action Button with more shortcuts. 

Also read: Apple iPhone 15 series: Price in India, specs, availability related FAQs answered

The customisable Action Button can be used to access the Camera, meaning it can open the Camera app if you hold it and even capture pictures with a single tap. Next up, there’s Voice Memos. You can use Voice recording with the Action Button. The Translate, Focus Mode, Flashlight, and Magnifier can also be accessed. Not only that, but you can also set it for Shortcuts, which can be used to open apps. 

However, people on X (formerly Twitter) are not very happy about it and are missing the mute slider. On the other hand, some are comparing it with Android smartphones, saying Android has had this for a long time. 

Also read: Apple Watch Series 9 and Watch Ultra 2: India price and new features

iPhones will have Qualcomm 5G modems until 2026 at least

Chip-maker Qualcomm has announced that it has signed a new 3-year agreement with Apple to supply 5G modems for iPhones.

In a press release on September 11, 2023, Qualcomm Technologies announced that it has entered into an agreement with Apple Inc. to supply Snapdragon 5G Modem‑RF Systems for smartphone launches in 2024, 2025 and 2026.

“This agreement reinforces Qualcomm’s track record of sustained leadership across 5G technologies and products,” the chip-maker said.

According to a report by CNBC, Wall Street analysts and Qualcomm officials had previously said that they expected Apple to use an internally developed 5G modem starting next year.

The report further mentioned that Qualcomm currently provides Apple with 5G modems for iPhones, but Apple has been working to make its own modems in order to switch from  Qualcomm-made chips. In 2019, Apple purchased Intel’s smartphone modem division to develop its own modem. However, according to analysts, it will likely be difficult for the iPhone-maker to simply switch from Qualcomm’s chips due to their complexity.

Qualcomm expects to only provide 20% of the modems required for Apple's 2026 smartphone launch, indicating that it still believes that Apple business will eventually decline. Also, a Qualcomm official said that the company was not updating its guidance to take into account the Apple sales, as per the report.

Meanwhile, Apple is all set to host its Wonderlust event tonight (September 12, 2023) at 10:30 pm Indian Standard Time (IST). The tech giant is preparing to make some major announcements at this event. Speculation and leaks have been circulating about the upcoming iPhone models. In addition to the anticipated iPhone 15 lineup, Apple is also expected to introduce the successor of the Watch Series 8, along with several other products. You can watch the live stream of this event on Apple’s official website or YouTube channel at 10:30 pm. You will also be able to watch the event using your Apple TV app.

iPhone 15 event buzz: Apple rumoured to discontinue all silicon accessories

The countdown for the release of the Apple iPhone 15 series has started. The tech giant is all set to hold its ‘Wonderlust’ event tomorrow where it is expected to unveil its next smartphone lineup, Watch Series 9, and more. A new report has claimed that in addition to discontinuing its lineup of leather cases this year, Apple might also start gradually discontinuing its silicone accessories.

According to a report by MacRumors, Apple might be planning to discontinue its silicone rubber and fluoroelastomer accessories and is expected to replace them with ones made of more eco-friendly next-generation materials.

The transition is expected to include accessories like the iPhone Silicone Case with MagSafe, Sport Band, Solo Loop, and AirTag Loop. The rumour came from Apple device collector and leaker ‘Kosutami’ who previously shared details of the iPhone 15's braided USB-C cable, multiple prototypes like the MagSafe chargers and AirPods in different colour options, and more.

Following the release of the iPhone 15 series, Apple is anticipated to discontinue its leather iPhone cases and replace them with accessories made of a high-end material dubbed ‘FineWoven’.

According to the report, the move of discontinuing silicone accessories “is not expected to be imminent, instead taking place via a more gradual transition whereby existing models are not refreshed with new color options.”

It's believed that the move to switch to more environmentally friendly materials is what led to the discontinuation of all leather and silicone Apple accessories. Apple's silicone rubber accessories are not created from recycled materials, despite having a reduced carbon footprint than their leather counterparts. Also, due to their heat-resistant qualities and sturdy, crosslinked structure, materials like fluoroelastomer are extremely challenging to recycle.

In the short term, ‘FineWoven’ is anticipated to replace leather as Apple's initial next-generation material, but it might also eventually replace some silicone accessories. Moreover, new fresh, greener materials might also be launched for additional accessories in the future.
