The highly anticipated Apple iPhone 15 series was just recently launched. The new smartphones are set to go on sale later this month across the globe, with India also seeing a same-day launch for the first time. But this isn’t the only first for the region as the brand’s iPhone 15 Pro models will finally support local GPS technology as well.
Apple iPhone 15 Pro series finally feature NavIC
According to a TechCrunch report, the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are the first ever iPhone models to feature NavIC for GPS. For those unaware, this is an indigenous GPS technology that was developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). NavIC employs seven satellites that covers India and a region of around 1,500 kilometers beyond the nation’s boundary. It also serves various other purposes like terrestrial, aerial, and marine transportation.
Apple iPhone 15 Pro, iPhoen 15 Pro Max
This feature was found on the detailed spec list of the iPhone 15 Pro series and can be found in the cellular and wireless section. Unfortunately, the NavIC support appears to be limited to the higher-end devices. In other words, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus do not feature the local GPS technology. The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are the first to feature NavIC, which follows the likes of other smartphone brands like Xiaomi, OnePlus, and Vivo.
So, ISRO’s tech has been seeing higher adoption in recent years. This move also showcases Apple’s commitment to expand in the region. It has already started assembling the new iPhone 15 lineup in the region and is seeking to further expand production in a bid to shift its reliance away from China.
In a huge boost for green transportation, the European Union (EU) has allocated a whopping €352 million ($378 million) to develop eco-friendly transport infrastructure. Tesla, a leader in the electric vehicle industry, will be one of the major beneficiaries. While this may seem like a large chunk of money going to one company, there’s more to the story that benefits the average driver on European roads.
875 superchargers already line the continent for future EV needs
Tesla’s Polish and Italian divisions will receive €148.72 million ($159.64 million) for the expansion and upgrade of 7,198 Superchargers across 22 European countries. Notably, Tesla’s Supercharger V4 could potentially get an upgrade from this funding, which would bring its power output from 250 kW to a whopping 350 kW. But what does this mean for Europe’s green transport network?
The importance lies in the sheer scale and spread of Tesla’s Supercharger network. Already boasting 875 stations across the continent, the company recently celebrated its 10,000th individual Supercharger connector in the EU. This additional funding would amplify its reach, covering 16 nations along the Core and Comprehensive Network, including an extra six countries through Tesla’s Polish division.
But Tesla isn’t just boosting its own network. Major car companies like Ford, GM, Volvo, and Mercedes have adopted Tesla’s North American Charging Standard (NACS) port and struck deals to use its Superchargers. This makes Tesla’s network not just a private utility, but a quasi-public infrastructure that benefits a wider range of electric vehicle users. Furthermore, in early 2021, Tesla began opening its network to all EV users in select locations in the Netherlands, France, and Norway, further democratizing access to electric vehicle charging.
According to European Commissioner for Transport Adina Vălean, the EU will also invest in 18 hydrogen refueling stations and electrification of ports and airports. This illustrates the EU’s diversified approach to green transportation. While Tesla’s share might seem sizable, it serves a broader objective—making green driving a practical and accessible option for millions of Europeans.

Lenovo continues to expand its product family. The company, which operates in a variety of markets, is particularly notable for its products for gamers. For example, the company recently unveiled the Y900K, the world’s first water-cooled gaming laptop. However, its focus on gaming products does not mean that users who want something simpler are being neglected. In line with this, Lenovo has introduced the IdeaPad Slim 3i, a 14-inch Chromebook. Here are the details…
Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i Chromebook Specs
For those who don’t know, a Chromebook is a laptop computer that runs the ChromeOS. This operating system is lightweight and especially designed for cloud computing. This means that Chromebooks are designed to be used primarily with web-based applications and services, such as Google Docs, Gmail, and YouTube. So, the answer to the question of why people would buy such a computer is quite simple. Chromebooks are typically more affordable than traditional laptops. This makes them even more useful for students in particular. Lenovo, aware of the situation and wanting to take advantage of the back-to-school season, quietly launched the IdeaPad Slim 3i Chromebook.
When we look at the display features of the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i Chromebook, we see a 14-inch screen, which is similar to most other Chromebook models on the market. This screen uses an IPS panel and has a 1920×1080 FHD resolution, as well as touchscreen. Given that ChromeOS’s interface resembles that of Android, having a touchscreen is a significant advantage. Of course, the IdeaPad Slim 3i aims to provide not just ease of use but also good performance. To achieve this, it is powered by Intel’s Alder Lake-N series Core i3-N305 processor.
In addition, 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage are also among the device’s stand-out features. At first glance, this amount of storage may not seem sufficient to you. However, as we mentioned at the beginning of our article, the main purpose of Chromebooks is to be cheap and to run on relatively weak hardware. In fact, considering this, we can even say that the hardware is at a good level. It also has a 57 Wh battery and comes with a 45W USB Type-C power adapter, although you can also use up to a 65W adapter for faster charging.
When it comes to design, the Lenovo IdeaPad 3i Chromebook has a fairly standard look. On the left side, there is a USB-C port for charging the laptop, a standard USB 3.2 Gen Type-A port, and a 3.5 mm headphone jack, which is a dying technology. On the right side, there is a second Type-A port, an HDMI port, and a Kensington lock. The Lenovo IdeaPad 3i Chromebook measures 324 x 216 x 19 mm and weighs 1.5 kg.
Price and Availability
The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i Chromebook is currently available for purchase in the US for $415. This price is for the model with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. It is possible that lower-cost models will be available in the future.

Apple finally launched the highly anticipated iPhone 15 lineup on September 12th. All four models feature some quality-of-life improvements, including support for the USB-C port. It’s also confirmed that they all support DisplayPort for up to 4K HDR video mirroring and output to external displays. This is a significant improvement over previous iPhones, which were limited to 1080p video mirroring with Lightning adapters.
To use DisplayPort support on an iPhone 15, you will need a USB-C to DisplayPort cable. Apple does not sell this cable directly, but there are many third-party options available. Once you have a compatible cable, you can simply connect it to your iPhone and external display, and you will be able to mirror your iPhone’s screen or output video at up to 4K resolution and 60 frames per second.
HDR support is also available with DisplayPort, so you can enjoy high-dynamic range content on your external display with the iPhone 15. You can also use Apple’s $69 USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter to mirror video to an HDMI display at 4K/60Hz. However, this method doesn’t support HDR.
While DisplayPort support is a welcome addition to the iPhone 15, it is still missing one feature: extended display mode. Extended display mode would allow users to use their iPhone as a second display for their computer, similar to the Stage Manager feature on iPad.
