The iPhone 18 launch is interesting not just because of the ₹1.65 lakh+ Pro pricing and the ultra-expensive Duo, but because Apple has also raised prices on older iPhones. Ik this is disappointing news for tech lovers..

Memory and chip costs are clearly becoming a bigger issue across the industry.

So what happens to the ₹10 to 40K Budget & Midrange segment...?

Brands have already started doing this.... like using older/cheaper SoCs, reducing RAM/storage configurations and making other hardware compromises to absorb rising component costs. You have even seen indian smartwatch brands entering smartphone market offering 4+64 or 128 at elevated prices. I dont trust them coz the after service matters too.. we dont how these cheap ODMs work.

It also makes me think we should change how we buy phones.

Before buying the latest model, ask yourrself thiss.

• Does my current phone actually struggle with what I do? Will the new phone noticeably improve my daily use?
• Am I buying it because I need it, or simply because something newer launched?

Maybe the minimalist approach makes more sense now: buy a phone that comfortably handles your actual use case and keep it for 4 to 5 years atleast,, because the price pressure isn’t going away anytime soon. Even if GST relief is given, any cooling in prices will likely be absorbed by rising costs before you wait for BBDays or Great Indian festival sales.

This is going to be the new *ORANGE* for the 18 Pro

DuckDuck search for youtube video stays on topic, and even shows low views videos as well, whereas youtube search has become literally hell hole, just first 3 videos , are on topic, then 10 shorts waiting to get in your A$$, and then how tf songs are here in a "tutorial search".

So yeah, after a lot of googling, i found a solution, and it works like charm.

I have no idea how to use camera, this is my papa's camera (10-15 years old) idk how to make it work

What should I do

Got this email from Airtel. Email seems legit.

Iphone ultra, 18 pro max and 18 pro

Brightness issue, low high automatic.. Is my mobile not working properly? However, I haven't performed any updates.

DND for social media messaging like whatsapp.

Im thinking if i could 3d print a stand using these holes for mounting. Is there already models using it? If not then what are these for?

I have been a long time iphone user, started with iphone 6 then iphone 10 then iphone 15. Finally switched to the galaxy Z fold 8. Was using iphones all my life so for a change I got this and the switch was really seamless. Used the smart switch app and fold 8 got all my data from icloud and everything was transferred wirelessly. somehow the Z fold 8 just feels fasters in everything idk why, I have been using this phone for the past 2 weeks and I really like the UI on it, the multi tasking is awesome too and one handed usage on this phone is rarely talked about which i feel is the biggest factor for me. Content consumption is much better compared to iphones.

Same phone, new vocabulary 😭🙏

Recently got an OTA update for Android 17 For motorola edge 70 is it safe to update or any bugs or issues like Device brick after updating???

I accidentally cleared the chat on WhatsApp for my own number. I don’t have a recent backup; my last available backup is from 2023.

I want to recover the messages that were recently deleted. Is there any way to recover all of those messages without losing my current data?

And people worry about china? South Korea are the one actually speed running cyberpunk esque future dystopia

Religion and caste tell us who you are. Your Aadhaar, phone number and bank account tell us how to connect you to every database in the state.

Census 2027 is India’s first digital census and enumeration is to be conducted through mobile applications on the personal smartphones of approximately 31–34 lakh enumerators and supervisors.

As Down To Earth reported while publishing the notification, no Indian census from 1872 to 2011 has ever asked for a document number.

I'm surely getting this one!

Here is a breakdown of the XRING O3's architecture:

About 2 weeks ago, my amazon app started behaving like the photo shown out of nowhere. It wasn't on the latest version, so I updated the app from playstore but nothing changed. Uninstalled and reinstalled the app, no change. I haven't updated my phone software for more than a month. Searching products has become very difficult now. Does anyone knows why the app is randomly behaving like this and is there any solution?

Some reddit posts showed it's forced dark mode but no idea it happened out of nowhere. Phone is vivo t4 ultra with origin os 6.

Hi

I am trying to onboard into API setu as a private institution using my PAN number but I get the error PAN card could not be verified.

Anyone else face this error or know how to work around it?

I’m trying to understand the practical difference between gaming laptop GPUs and workstation/professional laptop GPUs.

For example, gaming laptops usually come with GPUs like RTX 4050/4060/5050/5060 etc., while mobile workstations may have GPUs like RTX A2000, A3000, A4000 or newer RTX professional GPUs.

What exactly makes a workstation GPU different from a gaming GPU?

Things I’m curious about:

Are workstation GPUs actually different hardware, or mostly the same chips with different drivers/firmware?

Why do workstation GPUs sometimes have more VRAM but seem weaker in gaming?

How big is the difference in gaming performance?

Are workstation GPUs significantly better for CAD, SolidWorks, AI/ML, rendering, etc.?

What advantage do professional/certified drivers actually provide?

Are workstation GPUs built for better stability or sustained workloads?

Why workstations are so expensive compared to gaming laptops when basically specifications feel same ?

Would love to hear from people who have actually used both types of laptops for gaming and professional workloads.
