Apple’s iPhone 15 series is expected to launch in September, and new reports suggest that the company will be releasing a new line of “FineWoven” cases to accompany the new phones. The cases are said to replace the leather cases and will match a new magnetic Apple Watch band. They are expected to be available in ten different colors.

Kosutami, a leaker, reported that the new line of “FineWoven” cases will likely be available in Black, Mulberry, Taupe, Evergreen, Pacific Blue, Wisteria, Antique White, Butter Yellow, Orange, and Pink.

The cases are expected to have rubber-wrapped edges that are a little darker than the color of the rear “woven” part of the case, as shown in many of the leaked pictures that have circulated online. According to the leaker, “FineWoven” is the name that Apple is expected to give to its new material.

Kosutami previously said that Apple is likely to release a new woven fabric band with a magnetic buckle alongside the Watch Series 9. He now says that the band will be made from the same material as the new line of premium iPhone cases.

Earlier this month, there were rumors that Apple was planning to discontinue leather cases for the iPhone 15 series. Some sources also suggested that the company might use a leather substitute with a woven fabric look, and this is now being supported by Kosutami’s claims.

The iPhone 15 series launch is scheduled for September 12. It was reported that Apple is expected to release the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max in two new colors: Titan Grey and Dark Blue. These colors would replace the current Gold and Purple options. Apple might also offer the iPhone 15 Pro models in Silver and Space Black.

The Apple iPhone 15 series launch is just around the corner. The global release is set to kick off soon, and it appears that the Indian launch rollout won’t be too far behind. So here are all the details.

Apple iPhone 15 series India release

Thanks to the iPhone 15 production at Foxconn’s Chennai facility in South India, it appears that the Cupertino-based giant is looking to shorten the gap between the Indian and global launch. In other words, the iPhone 15 lineup’s launch in India will be quicker than the previous years. The last iPhone series, took a month longer to make it to the region after the global release.

This time around, Apple is anticipating a massive surge in demand over the upcoming festive season in the country. So, it has resolved to make the iPhone 15 series launch in India soon after its announcement. The Cupertino based giant’s iPhones have been a driving force of smartphone exports from India. The mass production of the four iPhone 15 models has already begun, with rumors hinting at a few days of delays.

Apple plans to export these ‘Made in India’ iPhones to the European and American markets around December 2023. The Apple iPhone 15 will be announced later this month on 12th September 2023, so stick around for more as we will be covering the launch event that is set for next week.

Meta released the Quest Pro VR headsets in 2022. An advanced Snapdragon chip powers this VR headset with touch controllers and embedded sensors. According to a recent report, Meta is collaborating with LG Electronics to release a new mixed-reality headset.

As per the report, Meta and LG will work on a mixed-reality device to compete with Apple’s recently unveiled AR headset, the ‘Vision Pro.’ For those unaware, Apple announced its first mixed-reality headset earlier this year, which will be available for purchase in early 2024. Meta and LG’s strategy is to compete with the ‘Vision Pro.’ In the report, it is mentioned that Meta is expected to release its low-priced VR/AR model for under $200 in 2024. While the high-end LG collaborated model will be released in 2025.

Additionally, there is speculation that the device could be named ‘Meta Quest 4 Pro.’ The inclusion of ‘Pro’ in the name suggests that this headset may indeed be the 2025 model resulting from the collaboration.

It is worth mentioning that LG Electronics applied for a mixed reality (MR) patent in 2019 and has been focusing on research and development (R&D). However, it is a little soon to be sure that this patent and collaboration might be related, but with time, we expect to receive more information.

The original 8GB + 256GB and 12GB + 512GB variants of Meizu 20 (white) are priced at ¥3,199 and ¥3,799, respectively. Whereas, the new 12GB + 256GB model carries a price tag of ¥3,399.

Next-gen OnePlus Ace smartphone specs leak, could be a rebrand of OnePlus 12R

By

Sep 4, 2023

OnePlus recently launched the OnePlus Ace 2 Pro smartphone in China which has become quite the sensation. The device is the current king of performance on the AnTuTu listing, and the brand is also having trouble keeping up with the demand. That being said, popular tipster DCS says that the brand is gearing up to launch another Ace series device soon.

As per DCS, the upcoming OnePlus Ace smartphone will also feature a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, which is present in the Ace 2 Pro. This leads us to believe that this device could be the vanilla OnePlus Ace 3. Interestingly, the rest of the spec sheet matches the leaked spec sheet of the upcoming OnePlus 12R, meaning that the OnePlus Ace 3 will likely be a rebranded 12R for the Chinese market.

DCS reveals that the device will feature a 6.74-inch punch-hole OLED display with curved edges, 120Hz refresh rate, and 1.5K resolution. The display will also have high-frequency PMM dimming support.

Under the hood, we can expect the 3.2GHz Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip to be paired with up to 16GB or 24GB of LPDDR5x RAM and 512GB or 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage. With the way trends are going in the Chinese Android smartphone market, a 24GB + 1TB configuration is not out of the question.

The camera details reveal that the device will feature a 50-megapixel main camera with a Sony IMX890 sensor. It will also include an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens from OmniVision OV8D10 and a 32-megapixel telephoto camera using the IMX709 sensor. This telephoto camera might allow up to 2x optical zoom. Lastly, a large 5,500mAh battery is expected to be onboard along with 100W fast charging support.

Apple Pulls the Plug on 14-inch iPad, says Reports

By

Rajesh Regmi

-

Sep 4, 2023

Apple’s largest iPad Pro has a 12.9-inch display. There have been rumors that the company is working on a 14-inch model, but Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says that there is no such product in Apple’s product pipeline right now.

Gurman says that a 14-inch iPad Pro was considered for a 2023 launch, but it was ultimately scrapped. The reason for this is apparently the transition to OLED displays in the ‌iPad‌ lineup, which could invoke considerably higher costs on larger tablet displays. Instead, the first iPad Pro models with OLED displays are expected to top out at 13 inches and will go on sale in the first half of 2024.

Apple has been rumored to be working on a larger iPad for some time. In January 2022, it was reported that multiple suppliers were converting factories to supply Apple with 15-inch OLED displays for future iPad models. Then, in July 2022, display analyst Ross Young said that Apple had switched to an LCD display for the device.

There were also rumors that Apple was developing a 16-inch iPad that could be released in late 2023. However, these plans seem to have been scrapped.

Despite the conflicting rumors, it’s still possible that Apple will release a larger iPad in the future. The biggest iPads that have been available since 2018 are the 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pros. These are still smaller than the smallest MacBooks, the M1 MacBook Air and M2 MacBook Pro, which have 13.3-inch displays. Since the 12.9-inch iPad Pro is already similar in size to the 13.3-inch MacBooks, and is rumored to increase to 13 inches next year, it seems likely that Apple will eventually release a significantly larger iPad model.

After Chandrayaan-3’s Moon mission, India launches spacecraft to study the Sun

Sep 4, 2023

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) recently had a successful spacecraft launch, which took the country to the moon. Chandrayaan-3 landed on the moon’s south pole last month, but it appears that India is showing no signs of stopping its venture into space. A mere week after the successful moon landing, the country has now launched another new spacecraft that is setting its sights on the Sun.

India launches Aditya-L1: First Indian mission to observe the Sun

The nation’s space agency has already launched a rocket carrying Aditya-L1, which is India’s first mission dedicated to observing the Sun. For its mission, Aditya-L1 will be traveling over 930,000 miles over four months until it reaches the L1 Lagrange Point. For those unaware, this point is a place of equilibrium between two massive orbiting bodies, which in this case is the Sun and planet Earth.

The new spacecraft will remain in orbit at this point and collect data. Scientists are hoping that the information gathered by this mission will help them answer why the Sun’s corona is hotter than the surface. The data could even help provide information on how solar radiation and various solar phenomena affect communication systems, satellites, and power grids.

Scientists are hoping that Aditya-L1 may even reveal crucial information regarding solar wind behavior and its impacts on Earth’s climate. According to Sankar Subramanian, the mission’s principal scientist, “We have made sure we will have a unique data set that is not currently available from any other mission. This will allow us to understand the sun, its dynamics as well as the inner heliosphere, which is an important element for current-day technology, as well as space-weather aspects.”

Chandrayaan-3 Mission

An update on the Chandrayaan-3 mission revealed that the Vikram Lander has successfully soft-landed on the Moon again. It has exceeded its mission objectives and successfully underwent a hop experiment. The Vikram lander also performed well and deployed Ramp, ChaSTE, and ILSA that were folded back and redeployed successfully after their experiment.

Earlier, we reported that a Chinese developer had successfully installed Huawei’s open-source HarmonyOS operating system onto a PC platform. This HarmonyOS 3.2 Beta 3 version was tested on the HP notebook, which responded accurately to all the mouse inputs.

According to recent reports, Wang Chenglu (CEO of Shenzhen Kaihong Digital Industry Development) has hinted at the possibility of an official HarmonyOS release for PCs next year.

For those who may not be familiar, Wang Chenglu became a part of Huawei back in 1998 and held the position of President in the Consumer BG Software Department. But what has really caught our interest is that Wang Chenglu recently confirmed the company will be introducing HarmonyOS to PCs through a reply on a Weibo post. A fellow user posted a question on Weibo, “Will there be a HarmonyOS PC next year?” Wang Chenglu replied with a simple “Yes.” However, it still needs to be confirmed exactly when this OS will be launched next year.

Recent rumors suggest that Microsoft might be getting ready to launch a new operating system called Windows 12. If Huawei does launch HarmonyOS, we’ll be able to see how it performs compared to Windows 12. Previously, it was reported that the HarmonyOS on an HP notebook performed smoothly. The developer also adapted the drivers for the USB, network port, SATA port, PCIe, and other hardware of the HP notebook.

In related news, Huawei is preparing to launch its latest iteration, HarmonyOS 4.0, in August. This new software is expected to bring major design changes and new features. Those who wish to know about this can check out our HarmonyOS 4.0 coming in August story here.

A new leak might have hinted at some of the camera specifications of the upcoming Redmi K70 Pro. The smartphone model is expected to launch soon, but prior to any official announcement, some of its specs were leaked on Weibo (a Chinese microblogging website).

Redmi K70 Pro Camera Specs

The information arrives from a known tipster Digital Chat Station. In the social media post, the SM8650 (Codenamed Manet) will feature a 50-megapixel primary sensor. This camera will also be paired with a telephoto shooter that has a 3.2x optical zoom. For those unaware, the next-gen Redmi K series is expected to launch three models, which include the K70e, K70, and K70 Pro. These will reportedly carry the codenames, Ingress, Vermeer, and Manet respectively.

Based on what we know so far, the K70 Pro may be equipped with the Sony IMX707 sensor for the primary camera. Notably, the information is also in line with earlier reports from Digital Chat Station. The initial report claimed that the new smartphone will feature a metal frame and a telephoto shooter with 3x magnification.

Other notable features include Android 14 OS based MIUI 14 custom skin that will likely be upgraded to MIUI 15 soon after launch. The high-end Pro model is expected to feature a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC and may be powered by a massive 5,500mAh battery pack that could support 120W fast charging. Interestingly enough, the K70 may even be remodeled as the POCO F6 Pro for the global market.

Apple is currently offering a mini-LED display on the current iPad Pro models. Rumors are rife that the iPad Pro, launching in 2024, will be the company’s first tablet to feature an OLED panel. A new leak suggests that the device will offer the largest storage ever seen on a tablet.

OLED iPad Pro with 4TB storage

The 2022 iPad Pro models come with 2 TB of onboard storage. According to tipster Revegnus, the iPad Pro with an OLED panel arriving next year will have a 4 TB storage version. As always, it is recommended to take the leak with a grain of caution while awaiting further evidence or confirmation.

The 4TB iPad Pro could be ideal for niche professional users with demanding storage needs, including content creators, photographers, architects, data scientists, medical professionals, and so on. It will offer ample space for handling large files, high-resolution videos, complex projects, and extensive datasets. While it may be overkill for the average consumer, it will provide peace of mind and convenience for those who rely on their iPads for resource-intensive tasks and data-heavy projects.

Rumors are rife that the OLED iPad Pro may arrive in 11.1-inch and 13-inch screen size variants. There is a possibility that these models could be equipped with Apple’s M3 chip, which is expected to debut later this year. It is being said that the OLED iPad Pro models may feature a new Magic Keyboard with a larger trackpad.

It is speculated that the 11.1-inch and 13-inch OLED iPad Pro models may start at $1,500 and $1,800, respectively. The current iPad Pro models start at $799. The increase in price could be mainly due to the inclusion of OLED panels.
