The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra was just unveiled last month, and while it hasn’t started shipping yet, a teardown video has already surfaced giving us a look inside Samsung’s latest flagship.

The teardown video is a little over 14 minutes long and is in Hindi. However, YouTube’s auto-generated and auto-translated subtitles work well, so language shouldn’t be a problem for non-Hindi speakers.

It was previously reportedly widely in the media that Sony was working on bringing Gran Turismo 7 to PC. However, recent rumours suggest that the company has cancelled the project at the last minute. The decision has left many PC gamers disappointed and as of now, Sony hasn’t given any explanation for why it was scrapped.

The news comes from user Bryank75, who is widely considered a reliable source on the IconEra forum.

User Bryank75’s post on the IconEra forum.

Many fans expected Gran Turismo 7 to follow suit after the success of PlayStation games like God of War, The Last of Us and Marvel’s Spider-Man on PC. These titles helped Sony reach more players, which makes this report of cancellation all the more surprising.

However, this doesn’t mean Sony is stepping away from PC gaming. The company remains committed to its PC strategy, but for racing fans, this is a major letdown. Many were eager to experience one of the best racing games on PC.

Originally launched on March 4, 2022, for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, Gran Turismo 7 received great reviews and even won Best Sports/Racing Game at The Game Awards 2022.

Sony continues to support the game, with the latest 1.55 update adding four new cars including –

  • Gran Turismo F3500-A
  • 1987 Honda Civic Si Extra (available from a used car dealer)
  • 2024 Hyundai IONIQ 5N
  • 2018 Toyota C-HR S

These updates show Sony’s ongoing commitment to the game, but for now, PC gamers will miss out on the experience.

There’s no word on whether Sony might reconsider in the future but fans still hope to see GT7 on PC someday. A PC version could bring in new players, boost the game’s popularity and expand the Gran Turismo community. The demand is strong, and that could influence Sony’s decisions down the line.

FAQS

Q1. What recent news has disappointed Gran Turismo 7 fans?

Answer. Sony reportedly cancelled the project to bring Gran Turismo 7 to PC at the last minute, leaving many PC gamers disappointed.

Q2. What was the community’s expectation regarding Gran Turismo 7 for PC?

Answer. Fans expected Gran Turismo 7 to follow the success of other PlayStation games like God of War, The Last of Us, and Marvel’s Spider-Man on PC, making the cancellation surprising.

Q3. Does the cancellation of Gran Turismo 7 for PC affect Sony’s commitment to PC gaming?

Answer. No, despite the cancellation, Sony remains committed to its PC strategy and continues to support Gran Turismo 7 with updates.

Highlights

  • WhatsApp to introduce event scheduling in private conversations.
  • The feature is currently available to some beta testers using the latest WhatsApp beta version.
  • A wider rollout is expected in the coming weeks or months.
  • Users can create events, link them to voice or video calls and receive reminders.

WhatsApp is making it easier to plan and manage events by introducing a new event scheduling feature in one-on-one chats. Previously, event creation was only available in group chats and communities, but now users can set up meetings, reminders and personal plans directly in private conversations. Here’s everything we know about the upcoming feature.

According to trusted WhatsApp beta leaker WABetaInfo, there is a new feature coming on WhatsApp that would allow users to schedule events within chats. This feature is currently available to some beta testers using the latest WhatsApp beta version from the Google Play Store.

WABetaInfo, in its blog, wrote, “Some beta testers can explore a new feature that allows them to schedule events within private conversations, making it easier to organise personal appointments and reminders. Previously, the ability to create events was only available in group chats and community groups, as it was primarily seen as a tool for organising larger gatherings and coordinating multiple people. However, it seems that WhatsApp has recognised the need for a more personalized scheduling feature and has now extended event support to one-on-one chats.”

When you create an event, the other person can accept or decline the invite making coordination simple. You can also link events to voice or video calls making it easier to manage both scheduling and communication in one place.

WABetaInfo later confirmed that “This event scheduling feature is also available to some iOS users after installing the WhatsApp beta for iOS 25.2.10.73 update from the TestFlight app, ensuring a seamless and consistent experience across both Android and iOS devices.”

By adding event planning directly into chats, WhatsApp is cutting down the need for third-party calendar apps like Google Calendar. This is especially helpful for users who rely on WhatsApp for both work and personal conversations. The built-in reminders ensure that both parties stay on track with their plans.

Since this feature is still in beta testing, it may take a few weeks or months before rolling out to everyone. Beta testers are currently providing feedback to help fine-tune the tool before its full release.

With this move, WhatsApp is expanding beyond messaging and becoming a more versatile productivity tool. As the feature rolls out to more users, managing plans and events within WhatsApp will become even more seamless.

FAQs

Q1. What new feature is WhatsApp introducing for one-on-one chats?

Answer. WhatsApp is introducing an event scheduling feature in private conversations, allowing users to set up meetings, reminders and personal plans directly in one-on-one chats.

Q2. Is the event scheduling feature available to all users now?

Answer. No, the feature is currently available to some beta testers using the latest WhatsApp beta version from the Google Play Store with a wider rollout expected in the coming weeks or months.

Q3. How will the new event scheduling feature benefit users?

Answer. The feature allows users to create events, link them to voice or video calls, and receive reminders, reducing the need for third-party calendar apps like Google Calendar and helping users stay organised.

Apple is still on track to bring PlayStation VR controller support to the Vision Pro, according to Mark Gurman’s Power On newsletter. This collaboration with Sony was first reported in December, and things are moving forward as expected.

When the news first surfaced, reports revealed that Apple had been working with Sony for months and was also reaching out to third-party developers to integrate controller support into their games on Vision Pro. “Apple is now working on a major effort to support third-party hand controllers in the device’s visionOS software and has teamed up with Sony Group Corp. to make it happen,” Gurman wrote.

In an earlier report, Gurman wrote, “Apple approached Sony earlier this year, and the duo agreed to work together on launching support for the PlayStation VR2’s hand controllers on the Vision Pro. Inside Sony, the work has been a monthslong undertaking, I’m told. And Apple has discussed the plan with third-party developers, asking them if they’d integrate support into their games.”

Now, Gurman says that “all signs point to this project still being in development” and that it will likely launch in a software update later this year, possibly with visionOS 3. The PlayStation VR controllers will not only improve gaming but also offer “more precision” when navigating the operating system.

This partnership could enhance the gaming experience on Vision Pro, but it’s still unclear whether it will significantly expand the game library or impact device sales.

For now, Sony does not sell the PlayStation VR controllers separately, so how Apple will handle availability remains to be seen.

FAQs

Q1. What is Apple planning to bring to the Vision Pro?

Answer. Apple is on track to bring PlayStation VR controller support to the Vision Pro in collaboration with Sony moving forward as expected.

Q2. How has Apple been preparing for PlayStation VR controller support on Vision Pro?

Highlights

  • Apple to launch New iCloud Service “Confetti” to simplify event invitations for parties, functions and meetings.
  • It will be a new way to manage event invitations compared to the existing Calendar app.
  • The “Confetti” feature is integrated with iOS 18.3, which started rolling out recently,
  • As per reports, it integrates with iCloud and a new daemon called GroupKit.

It appears Apple is getting ready to launch a new event and invite services as part of iCloud. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, this feature is Codenamed “Confetti” and is designed to make it easier to invite people to parties, functions and meetings. Unlike the existing Calendar app, it will offer a fresh way to manage event invitations.

Gurman reports that Apple has been planning to revamp its Calendar app for years, and this is just the start of those efforts. He also mentions that “Confetti” is linked to iOS 18.3, which started rolling out to iPhone and iPad users late last month. This means Apple could activate the service at any time. However, there aren’t many details available just yet.

Last month, 9to5Mac first reported on this feature after discovering it in the iOS 18.3 beta code. References to an “Apple Invites” app were originally spotted in an iOS 18.2 beta but were later removed before the final release. The code has now reappeared in iOS 18.3 beta 2.

Based on the code analysis, this new app seems to be designed for organising meetings and in-person events. While Apple’s Calendar app already serves this purpose, the Invites app could bring some new and improved features.

9to5Mac, in its previous report, described the new app saying, “Code suggests that the Invites app will integrate with iCloud and will even have a web version on iCloud.com. The new app also integrates with a new iOS 18 daemon called GroupKit, which manages database models for groups of people. This daemon has been present since the first release of iOS 18.0 and hasn’t been used by any Apple apps so far.”

The report further added, “Essentially, the app will show you a list of the people invited to that event and who has already confirmed their attendance. It’s unclear whether Invites will actually be a stand-alone app or whether Apple has plans to integrate it with other parts of the system (such as a mini iMessage app). Presumably, the app will have a more fun interface than what the Calendar app currently provides for inviting someone to an event.”

FAQs

Q1. What is the new iCloud service “Confetti” designed to do?

Answer. “Confetti” is designed to make it easier to invite people to parties, functions, and meetings, offering a fresh way to manage event invitations compared to the existing Calendar app.

Q2. When could Apple activate the “Confetti” service?

Answer. “Confetti” is linked to iOS 18.3, which started rolling out to iPhone and iPad users late last month, meaning Apple could activate the service at any time.

Q3. What is unique about the “Invites” app mentioned in the iOS 18.3 report?

Answer. The Invites app integrates with iCloud and a new iOS 18 daemon called GroupKit, which manages database models for groups of people. The app will show a list of people invited to an event and who have confirmed their attendance.

Counterpoint Research: Vivo India’s Top Smartphone Brand, Samsung Slips to Third, India Smartphone Market Hits All-time High in 2024

Highlights

  • The Indian smartphone market’s Revenue rose 9% YoY in 2024 to reach a record high.
  • Vivo came on top in volume for the first time in FY2024.
  • Apple led market value for the second year and ranked among the top 5 in Q4 2024.
  • The iPhone 15 was the most shipped device in Q4 2024.

Counterpoint Research’s latest report reveals big changes in India’s smartphone market for 2024. Samsung has lost its No. 1 position, dropping to third place. Vivo has taken the lead with 19% of total shipments, while Xiaomi follows closely at 17%.

Research Director Tarun Pathak said that smartphone markets witnessed recovery in 2024 and normalisation, “as macroeconomic pressures softened.”

Despite overall shipments increasing by just 1%, wholesale revenue rose by 9%, showing a shift toward higher-priced smartphones. 5G smartphones made up 78% of total shipments, meaning nearly three out of every four phones now support 5G.

image

Vivo’s success came from its strong offline network, supported by its sub-brand iQOO. Xiaomi overtook Samsung, as the Korean brand focused more on its premium Galaxy S series, leading to a decline in budget phone sales.

Apple, on the other hand, remained the market leader in value, with the iPhone 15 being the most shipped device in Q4 2024.

Commenting on the market dynamics, Senior Research Analyst Shilpi Jain said, “India’s smartphone market is showing signs of maturity, with stable volumes affected by low entry of new users into the ecosystem. Replacement cycles are increasing as entry- and mid-range devices continue to improve each year. At the same time, there is a shift toward higher-priced devices, with shipments of premium segment devices (>INR 30,000) growing by double-digit percentages, driving a 9% YoY growth in wholesale value – the highest ever recorded.”

Jain added, “Consumer preference for premium smartphones is accelerating, driven by accessibility and affordability through trade-in programs and flexible financing options, turning consumer aspirations into reality. However, overall shipment growth remained marginal due to inflationary pressures, which significantly impacted the entry-level segment (sub-INR 10,000), resulting in a one-third decline. Looking ahead, market volumes in 2025 are expected to grow in single-digit percentage, while value is projected to reach another all-time high, with premiumization continuing as the key driver.”

image

On the competition dynamics, Research Analyst Shubham Singh said, “vivo emerged as the market leader for the first time, growing 16% YoY, aided by a robust offline network and supported by its sub-brand iQOO. Xiaomi secured the second spot, returning to growth with a 6% YoY increase in shipments after seeing declines in 2022 and 2023. Samsung slipped to third, as its value-driven strategies led to a reduced position in lower price bands, impacting overall shipments. However, Samsung’s premium devices continued to perform well, particularly its S series, which helped the brand gain share in the premium segment.”

Singh also added, “OPPO fell to fourth place with a 10% YoY decline, primarily due to product and channel challenges in H1 2023. However, it regained momentum with a revamped product portfolio, including the K and A series. 2024 was another strong year for Apple, as it ranked among the top five in Q4 2024. The iPhone 15 became the highest-shipped device of the quarter, helping Apple achieve record shipments in a single quarter and ending the year with the highest market value share.”

Singh continued, “However, India’s smartphone market slipped 4% YoY in Q4 2024 due to post-festive slumps, with OEMs focusing on clearing Q3 inventory. Meanwhile, the value grew by 5%, driven by demand for premium devices and new launches in December.”

Other Key Insights –

  • Nothing was the fastest-growing brand in 2024 achieving 577% YoY growth, which was mainly due to its 2a series and CMF sub-brand.
  • Motorola continued its strong growth expanding 82% YoY in 2024 and doubling its shipments compared to 2022.
  • 5G smartphone adoption hit 78% in 2024 with more entry-level phones now featuring 5G chipsets.
  • MediaTek led the chipset market with its highest-ever 52% share followed by Qualcomm at 25%.
  • Premium smartphones now make up one in five shipments with brands using AI, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos to enhance user experiences.
  • Realme expanded its offline presence with 52% of its total shipments coming from offline sales, up from 49% in 2023.
  • itel dominated the feature phone market holding a 32% market share, thanks to its strong distribution in smaller cities.

The report shows that India’s smartphone landscape is changing pace with 5G adoption rising and premium phone demand increasing. Nonetheless, it’ll be interesting to see if Samsung can reclaim its top spot or if Vivo will continue to lead in 2025.

As Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) hype builds, fans are curious about how well the game will perform on consoles and whether it will come with a higher price tag. A former Rockstar Games animator recently shared insights on the game’s expected frame rate, while reports suggest it might cost more than previous GTA titles.

Here’s what we know so far.

GTA 6 Likely to Run at 30FPS on Consoles

Former Rockstar Games animator Mike York, who worked on GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2, believes GTA 6 will likely be locked at 30 frames per second (FPS) on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.

In an interview with Kiwi Talkz, he explained that Rockstar prioritises a stable frame rate and while the game might occasionally hit 40-50FPS, a consistent 60FPS is unlikely unless Rockstar uses AI-driven upscaling or other optimisation methods.

However, PC players can expect higher frame rates after launch depending on their hardware.

Looking at past trends, GTA 5 originally ran at 30FPS on PlayStation 3 and only achieved 60FPS years later when optimized for newer consoles. With GTA 6 featuring enhanced graphics, a similar approach seems likely.

Meanwhile, Industry analyst Matthew Ball suggested in his State of Video Gaming in 2025 report that Rockstar’s parent company Take-Two Interactive may price GTA 6’s standard edition at $100, a notable jump from past releases.

As of the launch date, Spanish retailer XUruguay briefly listed GTA 6’s release date as September 17, 2025, which is exactly 12 years after GTA 5 launched. The listing was quickly removed, leaving fans wondering if it was a real leak or just a placeholder based on Rockstar’s Fall 2025 release window.

FAQs

Q1. What frame rate is GTA 6 expected to run at on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X?

Answer. GTA 6 is expected to run at 30 frames per second (FPS) on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, with occasional spikes to 40-50FPS but not a consistent 60FPS.

Q2. What might the standard edition of GTA 6 cost?

Answer. Industry analyst Matthew Ball suggests that the standard edition of GTA 6 may be priced at $100, a notable increase from previous releases.

Q3. When was GTA 6’s release date briefly listed by a Spanish retailer?

Answer. A Spanish retailer, XUruguay briefly listed GTA 6’s release date as September 17, 2025, which aligns with Rockstar’s Fall 2025 release window.

Q4. Why is GTA 6 expected to run at a lower frame rate on consoles?

Answer. Former Rockstar Games animator Mike York explains that Rockstar prioritises a stable frame rate and achieving a consistent 60FPS on consoles is unlikely without AI-driven upscaling or other optimisation methods.

Apple has also added six new Black Unity wallpapers to celebrate Black History Month. These wallpapers feature black, green and red colours inspired by what Apple calls the “rhythm of humanity.”

  • Summaries for News and Entertainment can be re-enabled in settings.
  • Lock screen notification summaries will now be italicised.
  • Users can now turn off summaries for specific apps by swiping left on a notification, selecting Options and tapping “Turn Off Summaries.”

Bug Fixes and Improvements
