There has been an increasing trend in the percentage of Android users shifting to Apple’s iPhone. As per a Consumer Intelligence Research Partner (CIRP) report, the rate of new iPhone users coming from Android phones is the highest in the last five years since 2018. 

iPhone had the highest switchers from Android since 2018

CIRP surveyed iPhone owners and reported that for from March 2022 to 2023 15 percent of people had an Android phone before buying an iPhone. This was the highest rate since March 2018 when a similar 15 percent made the switch from Android to iOS. Before this 16, 21, and 18 percent people owned an Android device before moving to iPhone in 2017, 2016, and 2015 respectively. 2016 was also the year that recorded the highest rate of switchers over a nine-year period.

Apple’s AR/VR Headset May Be Called “xrProOS” Suggesting Launch in the Near Future

Apple is excited for WWDC 2023, which will take place on June 5th. The company is expected to share new software and hardware at the event. One of the most anticipated new products is the 15-inch MacBook Air. It is expected to have a long battery life and other powerful features. Another highly anticipated product is the new virtual reality headset. Apple has been quietly filing trademarks that may be related to this headset. Here are the details…

Apple May Have Secretly Filed for ‘xrProOS’ Trademark

Apple is rumored to be working on an AR/VR headset, and new trademark filings suggest that the company is moving forward with its plans. Recently, a company called Deep Dive filed a trademark application for “xrProOS” in Argentina, Turkey, and the Philippines. The trademark application was filed in Apple’s SF Pro font, which is a strong indication that the company behind the filing is Apple.

Deep Dive also filed a trademark application for “xrProOS” in Australia, New Zealand, and the UK on the same day. However, this application was filed without the SF Pro font styling. The first application for the “xrProOS” trademark was made in Jamaica on April 27, 2023. Jamaica is a popular location for Apple to file initial trademarks for future products because its trademark database is not searchable online. This allows Apple to keep its activities under wraps.

The “xrProOS” trademark is not the only one that has been filed recently that could be related to Apple’s AR/VR headset. Other trademarks that have been filed include “Reality One,” “Reality Processor,” “Optica,” and “Deep Screen.” It is not clear yet how Apple plans to use the “xrProOS” trademark. Some believe that it could be the name of the operating system for Apple’s AR/VR headset.

Others believe that it could be the name of a new product category, such as a “Pro” version of Apple’s AR/VR headset. We will have to wait until Apple officially announces its AR/VR headset to find out more. However, the recent trademark filings suggest that the product is getting closer to launch.

BGMI is back on Google Play Store! Servers yet to go live

Last week, Krafton officially teased the comeback of BGMI to India after the popular battle royale game was banned by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) in response to requests from the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) back in July 2022.

Now, the game has finally made its return to the Google Play Store with the announcement coming from the official Twitter handle of Battlegrounds Mobile India. Interestingly, the game is not visible to many users who are searching for it directly on the Play Store. However, if you visit the official page, you will easily be directed to the Play Store download page.

The game is still on the 2.1.0 version which was released back in July 2022, and the servers are not live yet, however, it is likely that Krafton will push the new patch as soon as the servers go live.

BGMI

It is crucial to acknowledge that Krafton will face careful monitoring by the Indian government, ensuring the game’s compliance with the law and proposed requirements for a duration of three months. If the government finds the game in violation of any of the proposed conditions, a ban is likely to follow. Let’s take a look at what these conditions are.

BGMI un-ban conditions

Throughout this evaluation period, officials from the Ministry of Home Affairs will thoroughly examine and reassess the app to ensure its adherence to privacy and security regulations established by the Indian government, with a focus on safeguarding the welfare of its citizens. Any failure by Krafton to comply with these regulations may potentially result in another ban on BGMI.

According to the report, BGMI will introduce an in-game timer to limit players from surpassing the designated playtime. Additionally, the game’s color scheme will reportedly be altered to incorporate yellow and green blood, similar to the version presently available in China (Peacekeeper Elite). Initially, players were provided the option to change the blood color to green or blue during the game’s launch as a substitute for PUBG Mobile India. However, it appears that a new default color will be implemented instead of red.

Huawei Watch 4 Introduces Blood Sugar Monitoring before Apple

In the realm of wearable technology, health-related features have become increasingly important. Apple has long been rumored to be working on non-invasive blood sugar monitoring for its Apple Watch, but it seems that Huawei has beaten them to the punch. The recently unveiled Huawei Watch 4 boasts a groundbreaking feature that detects the risk of high blood sugar, marking a significant advancement in wearable health technology.

Huawei tested over 800,000 blood sugar metrics over 100,000 hours

For individuals living with diabetes, managing blood sugar levels is crucial. Traditionally, diabetics have relied on painful and costly blood tests performed multiple times a day using lancets and glucometers. Huawei’s innovation offers a non-invasive alternative that monitors blood sugar levels through a comprehensive analysis of ten health indicators in just 60 seconds. While the Huawei Watch 4 does not provide on-demand blood sugar readings, it offers timely alerts to help users make informed decisions about their diet and sugar intake.

Huawei’s achievement is the result of extensive research and collaboration with reputable medical institutions. Through rigorous testing of over 800,000 blood sugar data points over 100,000 hours, Huawei has developed a reliable and accurate health monitoring system. The Huawei Watch 4 tracks heart rate, pulse wave characteristics, and other key indicators to assess the risk of hyperglycemia.

To utilize this feature, users must participate in a blood sugar health research program conducted by a third-party medical institution and be above 18 years of age. It is important to note that the Huawei Watch 4 is not classified as a medical device; rather, the information it provides serves as a reference. Additionally, individuals with type 1 diabetes are not advised to use this technology, as their pancreas does not produce insulin. However, type 2 diabetics, who experience reduced insulin production over time and insulin resistance, can benefit from the Huawei Watch 4’s blood sugar monitoring feature.

Initially, this cutting-edge feature will be limited to models sold in the Chinese market. The Huawei Watch 4 boasts a 1.5-inch AMOLED display and is powered by HarmonyOS 3.1. It offers various health-related functions, including blood oxygen readings and electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis. The device provides up to three days of battery life and is water-resistant up to 5ATM. Different models and colors are available to suit individual preferences.
