Apple set to change its pricing strategy for iPhone 15 Plus: Know why

After dropping the Mini iPhone from its lineup this year, Apple brought back the once fabled, Plus phones, launching the iPhone 14 Plus as a part of its latest line of phones in September. However, as per reports, the poor sales of the iPhone 14 Plus have forced Apple to take a different route with this year’s launches. This problem has reportedly affected the iPhone 14 as well.

The iPhone 14 Plus, at the time of launch, was positioned to fill the gap between the base iPhone 14 and the Pro models. The main difference between the base iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Plus was the bigger battery capacity and a larger 6.7-inch screen compared to the 6.1-inch screen of the base iPhone 14. As it turns out though, these differences were not enough to drive the sales of the device when it hit the stores.

Two ways out, only one to pick

To make sure that the iPhone 15 Plus does not report similar sales numbers, Apple executives have reportedly laid out a definitive plan for the next launch cycle. As per a blog post by yeux1122, Apple has two plans in the works. The first one aims to decrease the difference between the Pro and the base model iPhone. The post says the base iPhone 15 would come with the dynamic island. In the iPhone 14 line, it had been reserved for the Pro and Pro Max models.

The second plan is to change the pricing of the devices. While there was no clear indication of how the pricing will change, it has been reported that a new pricing model will be adopted with the launch of the new iPhones. There is also going to be a change in materials and camera parts between the Pro and the Max models of the iPhones as well!

The Plus models of the iPhone are not the only ones to have reflected below than expected numbers. As stated earlier in the article, the Mini phones that were introduced with the iPhone 12 line were discontinued after the launch of the iPhone 13(s) owing to a similar problem. With the Plus models also headed down the same road, it will be interesting to see where they end a couple of years down the line.

Realme GT Neo 5 design and key specifications revealed ahead of launch

Realme confirmed that they will be hosting an event in China on January 5, 2023. Reports indicate that the company will be launching the Realme GT Neo 5 at this event complete with the company's next-generation charging technology. Realme has already dropped some hints about its upcoming 240 W fast charging technology and the upcoming Realme GT Neo 5 could be the first smartphone to flaunt these ludicrous charging speeds. A recently leaked poster of the Realme GT Neo 5 confirms this theory. It even reveals the possible design and some key specifications of the upcoming device. 

However, please note that Realme hasn't confirmed the authenticity of this leaked poster, so take this information with a grain of salt. Nevertheless, the design of the phone on the poster looks consistent with previously leaked images, so there's a good chance this information could be accurate. Let's look at what the key specifications and design of the upcoming Realme GT Neo 5 could be like.

Realme GT Neo 5 design and key specifications leaked

This leaked poster has been circulating around on Weibo and it shows the possible design and key specifications of the upcoming Realme GT Neo 5. As you can see in the leaked poster below, the phone houses three cameras on the back – possibly the primary sensor in one circle and the secondary sensors in another circle. There's a flash on the right side of the camera housing as well. The camera module extends across the width of the phone and the design looks pretty classy to us.

The poster also mentions that the Realme GT Neo 5 will come with the company's next-generation 240 W fast charging capabilities which the company is expected to show off at the event on January 5. Additionally, it will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC, according to the poster. We can assume this would be paired with up to 16 GB RAM and up to 512 GB ROM. The poster also mentions that the Realme GT Neo 5 will house the Sony IMX890 sensor with OIS support.

Realme GT Neo 5 expected specifications

Aside from the leaked information in the poster, the Realme GT Neo 5 is expected to house a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution, 144 Hz refresh rate support and an under-display fingerprint sensor. It is expected to come with Android 13 out of the box with Realme UI 4.0 on top. 

The Realme GT Neo 5 is rumoured to come in two battery variants – a 4,600 mAh battery variant with 240 W fast charging support and a 5,000 mAh battery variant with 150 W fast charging.

Apple iPad Mini 7 could hit markets in 2023: Kuo

According to Ming-Chi Kuo, a known Apple analyst, there’s going to be a new Apple product releasing next year - the Apple iPad Mini. Based on his musings, Apple may be launching this product and then may eventually launch a foldable iPad too (a product that’s been the center of many rumours for a while now). 

New iPad Mini to launch next year

Kuo tweeted recently that the brand will launch the iPad mini which will be equipped with a new processor. The launch is believed to take place by the end of 2023 or early 2024. The brand has not revealed any details about the upcoming processor, however, many are speculating that it could be a next-gen A series or M series chip. 

Upcoming iPad Mini price

The iPad Mini price will depend entirely on the chipset used. If it does use an M series chip, then it may end up being as expensive as the iPad Air and iPad Pro models that also use M1 and M2 chips. 

The Apple iPad mini released last year worked on the A15 Bionic chipset and had a flat edge design. It also offered 5G support, Touch ID, and the 2nd generation Apple Pencil. 

Apple foldable iPad

Kuo also mentioned the alleged foldable iPad, saying that it will not be intended as a replacement for the iPad mini. Rumours indicate that Apple may launch a foldable iPad in 2024 and eventually venture into the foldable smartphone market in 2025.

Is the Apple iPad Mini a good product to buy? Read our official review here.

Poco F5 5G specs like 2K display decoded from IMEI listing

The launch of the Poco F5 FG is expected to happen in January 2023. There is no official announcement from Xiaomi yet. However, according to a report by Xiaomiui, the display and the processor details of the upcoming smartphone have been deciphered. As per it, the Poco F4 was a rebranded version of the Redmi K40s and similarly the Poco F5 5G will be a rebranded version of the Redmi K60.

Poco F5 5G will feature an AMOLED panel with 2K resolution (1440*3200). The device is said to have a 120Hz refresh rate with 1000 nits screen brightness. While the Poco F4 came with Snapdragon 870, the upcoming Poco F5 5G is said to be packed with Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC which will be better in terms of performance.

According to the same report, A new phone with Chinese, Global, and Indian model numbers appeared in the IMEI database with the model numbers “23013RK75C, 23013PC75I, and 23013PC75G”. Decoding the model numbers, we learn “23” stands for 2023, “01” refers to January and “PC” refers to Poco. The “G and I” represents the Global and Indian version and “RK” in 23013RK75C possibly refers to the Redmi K-series.

If the leaks come true, The Poco F5 5G will be made available in early 2023, possibly in January. However, it will be first released in China as Redmi K60 and could be later made available for the Global and Indian market under the Poco moniker. Let’s see.
