  • iPhone 16 Goes On Sale In India From Tomorrow, Pre-Order For ‘Made In India’ Phone Surges |

    New Delhi: Apple has seen a surge in pre-orders for its ‘Make in India’ iPhone 16 in the country, as the company gears up to make its latest iPhone line-up available on September 20, trade analysts said on Thursday, adding that the new devices are set to break previous export records.

    The ongoing channel checks suggest that iPhone 16 Pro models are also witnessing a strong traction from buyers, owing to its more strategic and accessible pricing, in comparison to the 15 series.

    The new iPhones will be available at Apple retail and online stores in India — Apple BKC (Mumbai) and Apple Saket (New Delhi) – along with the company’s authorized sellers, from September 20.

    According to Counterpoint Research Director Tarun Pathak, there is a strong pre-order demand for the base iPhone 16 model compared to last year, and with attractive financing options, “the new 16 series is set to break previous records”.

    The analysts expect a healthy mix of upgrades this year for Apple in the country. The momentum is great with the government’s thrust on local manufacturing as the iPhone 16 models are being manufactured/assembled in India with simultaneous availability along with global market.

    Prabhu Ram, VP-Industry Research Group, CyberMedia Research (CMR), told IANS that Apple is benefiting from the strong tailwinds rising from the premiumisation wave in the Indian smartphone market.

    “The older generation iPhone 14 and 13 series will also gain traction in the festive season,” he added.

    Apple’s latest iPhone 16 is being produced and launched globally from the Indian factories. Driven by the production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme, the tech giant reached around $5 billion in iPhone exports from India in the April-August period this fiscal (FY25).

    As per industry data, this is a growth of over 50 per cent from the same period of first five months in FY24.

    The iPhone 16 Pro series benefits from more strategic and accessible pricing compared to its previous generation. This is expected to drive upgrades in the Indian market, making it more appealing to a wider range of consumers.

    Globally, iPhone 16 series first-weekend pre-order sales are estimated at about 37 million units, as per industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.

    Meanwhile, Apple revenues in India are likely to grow 18 per cent (year-on-year) in 2024 and the new iPhone 16 series would help the company further solidify its presence in the country, along with boosting its exports figures.

    Apple has 6 percent share by volume and 16 percent by value in India. The double-digit growth will continue, with revenues expected to cross the $10 billion mark in 2025 in the country.

    The iPhone production in India has gone up from less than 1 per cent in 2017 to 10 per cent in 2023 and plans are to scale it up to 25 per cent of global shipments by 2025, according to global investment firm Jefferies.

  • iPhone 17 Slim: Apple May Replace Plus Models With Sleeker Design, Single Camera |

    iPhone 17 Slim: Apple is rumored to be making a big change to its iPhone lineup next year. Instead of the current Plus models, the company is planning to introduce a slimmer version of the devices which will possibly be called the iPhone 17 slim. These new models are expected to feature a sleek, thin design similar to Apple’s latest iPad Pro which are known for being the thinnest tablets the company has ever made.

    According to Ming-Chi Kuo, a well-known industry analyst the iPhone Plus models aren’t very popular and make up only about 5-10% of iPhone shipments. This low demand is why Apple might be planning to discontinue them.

    However, there’s an interesting twist to this change. According to Kuo, the iPhone 17 slim will have just a single rear camera which is unusual since most smartphones now feature more complex camera systems. Kuo thinks Apple is focusing more on a sleek, innovative design rather than trying to compete with other brands on hardware specs with this model.

    Rumored Specs

    – Screen: 6.6” with 1260×2740 resolution

    – Processor: A19 chip

    – Feature: Dynamic Island, similar to current iPhones

    – Frame: Metal made from titanium alloy (lower grade than current Pro models)

    Apple’s new devices are also expected to come with the long-awaited 5G chip and a single rear camera.

  • Why Apple Reportedly Stopped Working On Next-Generation High-End Vision Headset? Find Out Reason Here |

    New Delhi: The tech giant Apple has suspended development on the next generation of its high-end Vision Pro headset reportedly. According to The Information report, the company is now prioritising the release of a more affordable version of the headset, which could hit the market by the end of 2025.

    According to a person involved in its supply chain and one person in the manufacturing of the headsets, the iPhone manufacturer is still working on releasing a more affordable Vision product with fewer features before the end of next year, reportedly.

    The Cupertino-based tech giant Apple is planning to sell its Vision Pro in eight new countries, including China and Japan. This move aims to boost sales of the $3,500 device, which has faced reduced demand following its initial surge in popularity.

    Moreover, Apple had originally planned to divide its Vision product into two models, similar to the standard and Pro versions of its iPhone reportedly.

    To recall, Apple unveiled its long-awaited AI strategy and announced a partnership with ChatGPT-maker OpenAI at the annual developer conference earlier this month. The event has boosted Apple’s shares, which have surged more than 11% this year after initially lagging behind other major tech companies because of weaker iPhone demand in China.

  • Apple To Pay iPhone 7 Users Who Faced ‘Loop Disease’ Audio Issues |

    The proposed settlement, which needs to be approved by a California court on July 18, offers up to $349 to those who paid Apple out of pocket and up to $125 to others, the report noted. In 2019, Apple was sued in several US states over the “loop disease” audio issue. The lawsuits claimed that Apple had breached warranties and violated consumer protection laws.

    Despite agreeing to a settlement, Apple denied all allegations of wrongdoing, and the court hearing the case has not ruled in favor of Apple or the plaintiffs. Meanwhile, Apple has demanded that Fortnite creator Epic Games pay them more than $73 million for legal fees amid their ongoing dispute over App Store payment methods.

    On January 16, the US Supreme Court refused to consider any side’s appeals, ending the three-year legal battle between Epic Games and Apple. But, after the case was over, Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers ruled that Epic Games owes Apple $73 million in legal fees and other costs, reports Apple Insider.
