Apple said to have increased iPhone 11 series production by up to 10%

Apple introduced the new iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max last month. iPhone 11 seems to be doing well for Apple as it is sold out in most e-commerce websites in India. Following the demand for the product, Apple has now reportedly increased the production of iPhone 11 range. According to a report from Nikkei Asian Review, Apple has told suppliers to increase the production of iPhone 11 by up to 10 per-cent or 8 million units. However, suppliers are also remaining conscious of not to be too optimistic and were concerned that higher levels of orders would not be sustained. Apple iPhone 11 is still produced in China and a planned 10 per cent tariff on China-made electronic imports has been postponed temporarily and this might help boost the demand of iPhone 11 during the holiday season. The other reason for demand for iPhone 11 is the attractive cashback offers provided by bank partners in countries like India. In India, HDFC Bank  Credit card, Debit card and Credit/Debit EMI transactions get flat Rs. 6000 instant discount on iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro, Rs. 7000 instant discount on iPhone 11 Pro Max and Rs. 4000 instant discount on ...

OnePlus 8 renders surface: Punch hole display, wireless charging and more

The OnePlus 7T is out in the open and is available for purchase! It's not even a week since the launch, and we're already getting a look at the next OnePlus device — OnePlus 8. The renders of the purported OnePlus 8 were leaked by infamous leakster @OnLeaks. As per renders, it looks similar to the OnePlus 7 Pro, which was launched earlier this year, but with a couple of differences. First is the punch-hole camera in the upper-left corner of the display replacing the pop-up camera. In this case, getting rid of the pop-up camera would leave space for a bigger battery or maybe a wireless charging coil. It's worth mentioning that the much anticipated wireless charging will be featured in the OnePlus 8. The second difference is the speaker grille at the bottom. Unlike OnePlus 7T (which has a grille), OnePlus has given a smoother edge to the bottom speaker in this model. Talking about the dimensions and screen size, the phone will measure about 160.2 x 72.9 x 8.1mm and feature a curved screen display that will be approximately 6.5-inch large. All said and done, we advice you to take the above information with a pinch of salt since it's still ...

Apple iPhone SE 2 with iPhone 8-like design and A13 chip said to launch in Q1 2020

It has been over 3 years since Apple introduced the iPhone SE with a small 4-inch screen. We had heard rumors about the iPhone SE 2 launching in 2018, but it didn't happen. Popular analyst Ming-Chi Kuo in a new investor note with TF International Securities, has said the SE 2 will be released in the first quarter of 2020. This coincides with a previous report from Nikkei, which said we can expect an iPhone with iPhone 8-like design in the spring. He has also said that the second generation SE will feature a similar design and specifications as the iPhone 8, so we can expect a 4.7-inch screen, TouchID below the screen and a single camera setup, but with a faster A13 chip and 3GB of RAM. Apple is still selling the iPhone 8 for $449 in the US and Rs. 39,900 in India for 64 GB, so it might discontinue the phone after the SE 2 launch, since it might sell in the similar price range. In his research note, Kuo said: We forecast that Apple will launch the more affordable iPhone SE2 in 1Q20. For the most part, the form factor design and hardware spec are similar to iPhone 8's. The ...
