The largest iPhone plant in the world, which had been going through a rough phase due to limited supply, has started its production again at peak capacity as Apple’s largest supplier, Foxconn, is at a 90% peak capacity in the Zhengzhou main plant.

There are more than 200,000 employees working in the plant as revealed by Vic Wang, Foxconn executive, that are heaving a sigh of relief as it is back to being business as usual after numerous issues.

iPhone 14 Series Sales Skyrocketing; Surpasses Samsung

Highlights

  • iPhone‘s largest plant based in Zhengzhou, China has resumed production after many months of abysmal supply.
  • The production has resumed at peak phase after weeks of turmoil as many workers had quit following following Covid-19 curbs.
  • Due to production delays, it has become difficult for Foxconn to meet consumer expectations regarding iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Apple’s largest iPhone plant Resumes Production Following Supply Issues

iPhone users can rejoice as Foxconn, the largest iPhone plant in the world, based in Zhengzhou, China, is resuming operations at peak capacity as production had taken a massive hit in the past few weeks due to lack of supply, which made it difficult to meet consumer expectations of iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max

Foxconn is the largest supplier to Apple that has resumed work with renewed vigour at peak production capacity as limited production had taken a considerable toll on the work operations of the whole unit.

The Zhengzhou plant was also known as iPhone City, which has the reputation of producing a huge majority of high-end iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max that met with extremely positive reviews from consumers.

In November 2022, thousands of workers had fled their jobs and staged protests against the Covid-19 curb that had been put in order and as the movement gathered momentum throughout the country, Foxconn was left with little choice but to end the restrictions the following month and increased incentives for new and existing employees.

While Apple had already informed consumers of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max shipments to fall due to the Covid-19 restrictions, China’s zero-Covid policy also required numerous cities to quell these outbreaks by using the restrictions, as many workers were returning home to avoid getting trapped in case the lockdown period was extended.

Fortunately, the supply of iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max has improved considerably in the past few weeks, due to which Foxconn has started out again with renewed hopes so as to meet up to consumer expectations.

Samsung Phones in 2023: Galaxy S23, Galaxy Z Fold 5 and More

Samsung Phones in 2023

Samsung had a great 2022. With the success of its mid to high-end smartphones including the flagship Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, the South Korean consumer electronics manufacturing company managed to again enjoy the largest market share globally.

While the A series has captured the mid-rangers segment, the success of its foldable phones cemented its position in the innovative hardware segment. However, Samsung’s upcoming lineup has always had the market excited no matter what the current position of the brand is.

And the same goes for Samsung phones in 2023. Models such as the Samsung Galaxy S23, Galaxy Z Fold 5 and More are some of the launches we are expecting from the brand this year. Let’s look at each expected smartphone launch one by one.

Samsung Galaxy S23 – Launch expected in 2023

Samsung Galaxy S23

Market speculations suggest that Samsung Galaxy S23 will be launched as early in 2023 as February 1. This could very well be the first major smartphone launch of the year.

Being its latest foray into the high-end segment, rumours suggest Samsung has packed some high-end specs in the smartphone paying special attention to the camera features.

A 200-megapixel sensor as its main camera and an 8K video at 30 frames per second are some of the camera features expected.

Moreover, a new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, the brightest display with 2,100 nits brightness and a somewhat Galaxy S22 Ultra inspired back panel look are some of the other expected features packed in the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S23.

Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Other Foldable Phones – Launch expected of Samsung Phones in 2023

Galaxy Z Fold 5

The range of Samsung foldable phones will this year most likely receive two new entrants in the form of the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5. The last tip revealed that the upcoming Galaxy Flip will sport a larger cover display, something of a 3-inch panel replacing the current 1.9-inch.

In any case, lesser is known about both devices’ specifications or additional features wise. Many tech bloggers have predicted an effort to improve battery capacity, camera features, and perhaps an S Pen house following the design lines followed in Galaxy S22 Ultra.

What will be exciting to see, however, is whether Samsung turns a little flexible with the pricing of its foldable range, which is still out of reach of mainstream smartphone buyers.

Some speculations further suggest that there could be a scrollable screen that the brand has been working on. And although a similar claim was made last year as well, it will be interesting to see if that finally materialises in 2023.

Samsung A Series Smartphones – Launch expected of Samsung Phones in 2023

Samsung Phones in 2023

Samsung’s confidence in its Galaxy A series phones isn’t surprising with the lineup getting great acceptance in its intended market segment.

The series has presented itself as a perfect alternative for people who are looking for a decent smartphone experience without paying a flagship price. The Galaxy A53, launched in early 2022, is undoubtedly one of the most affordable smartphones available in the market today.

In 2023, it is expected that Samsung will come up with the next updated versions of the Galaxy A53 and the Galaxy A33.

Other than that, a popular tech blogging website has also reported on leaked renders of a rumoured Samsung Galaxy A54 5G. The renders suggest a Galaxy S22 Ultra inspired appearance, which could mean Samsung is now working on a unified look for its smartphones.

Huawei P60 Series Comeback – To Launch Harmony OS 3.1

Huawei has been recovering from the pandemic faster than even industry experts expected. With an estimated 8.6 million units of shipment in the third quarter of 2022, the Chinese telecommunication equipment company has registered an increase of 48.3% year-on-year. The brand is supposed to return to the market with its Huawei Mate 50 series and if some media reports are to be believed, the Huawei P60 series in 2023.

The Huawei P60 series comeback, as per certain reports, has already been finalised for an early 2023 launch with proper launch preparations and marketing plans in place. Reports also suggest that the Huawei P60 series comeback will also mark the launch of Harmony OS 3.1.

The reports of the Huawei HarmonyOS 3.1 launch have been doing rounds in online communities for quite some now. It was first announced during the Huawei Developer Conference 2022.

However, after the initial announcement, only the developer beta version was launched last year. Huawei has, however, stated that the proper public launch will be scheduled for early 2023 with some tech bloggers online suggesting a January 2023 launch.

There have also been certain image leaks recently that suggest some noticeable design changes in the new generation smartphones. A leaked image of the protective case design for Huawei’s P60 series in the last week of December 2022 suggests a very unique three-camera layout.

It appears Huawei phones are going with different camera sensor placements as compared to the previous generation design such as the Huawei P50 series.

Referring to the leaked images of the protective case, many tech bloggers pointed out that the new design will have a significant positive impact on the camera capacity.

With the code name “Mona Lisa,” the Huawei P60 series is rumoured to sport a flagship processor, main camera upgrades to a 64MP sensor, and Huawei’s own XMAGE image among other features.

The main camera has also been anticipated to be one of the most surprising features of the Huawei P60 series with some exciting details for an enhanced smartphone photography experience. It is being speculated that the smartphones will not support 5G connectivity, although users can hope to get satellite communication.

Google Maps hacks: Steps for Blurring House in Street View

0
Google Maps Hacks

Google recently launched a new feature called Street View to Google Maps in India through which users can blur their house and see live imagery from the place they’re searching for, which is quite unique to imagine.

During its official launch, Street View was available in just 10 cities of India, including Delhi, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Chennai, Pune, Hyderabad, among others, which has been quite well received by most users.

Google Needed 11 Years to Launch a Major Google Maps Feature in This Large Market

Highlights

  • Google brought Google Maps to India earlier this year.
  • Street View gives users a real-time view of a place.
  • Street View also gives users a 360-degree view of a place.

Google Maps India Gets Street View Feature

Google had announced a new feature for Google Maps in India in early 2022 called Street View through which users will be able to see live imagery right from the place they’re searching for and decipher whether a place is too crowded at the time they want to visit, along with the potential parking spots to park their vehicles.

Initially, during its launch, Street View was available in only 10 Indian cities like Delhi, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune, Nashik, Amritsar, Ahmednagar, and Vadodara.

Google has made plans to slowly bring out the features in other cities of the country as well, which is an extremely useful feature for people for keeping a track of locations and learning about new ones every now and then.

What is unique about Street View is that it doesn’t just show maps but also gives a 360-degree real time account of the place they’re at or intend to visit, which implies that users can get live imagery through which they can learn whether their intended place of visit is crowded or not.

However, this feature is not without limitations, as it not only shows the particular locality or area where the user is at, but also all houses, including the users’ house to other users, which is a glaring security lapse that needs to be rectified.

It can provide thieves and criminals understand the location of cameras and give an inside view of the security measures around the house during various times of the day, while other users can get an accidental glimpse of the inside of your bedroom.

Luckily for users, there is a feature in Google Maps through which specific images it showcases can be blurred in Street View permanently, although there is an added caveat here that users cannot blur just anything and everything they want to as they can simply send a request to Google, which decides whether it is valid or not, following which it will blur the highlighted area in Street View.

How to Find Your Current Location in Google Maps

  • Step 1

First step is to open Google Maps on your mobile/PC.

  • Rockstar has not yet revealed the launch date of GTA 6 but there are strong speculations that it will officially come out by mid-2024.
  • Like the previous instalments, GTA 6 too will come with extremely realistic visual graphics and use ray tracing to a considerable extent.

Rockstar Games Reveals More Information on GTA 6

It is no secret that Grand Theft Auto is arguably the most popular open-world video game franchise in the world that got the entire youth hooked right from its first instalment that came out in 1997 and since then, the franchise has spanned five seasons and many incarnations.GTA 6 Release Date

Rockstar Games, the publisher, has also announced its sixth season whose launch date might be revealed by the end of 2023, while there are strong rumours that the new season will officially launch around mid-2024.

It was announced by the makers in 2022 itself that the work for the sixth instalment had begun in full measure, although the game publisher refused to divulge any further on the matter, except for releasing a statement where it was announced that the game development files had leaked online.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3: 3NM Chip For 2024

Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSMC) is producing most of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipsets with the promising 3 nanometer technology that will prove to be a gamechanger in the market.

At the moment, the much awaited Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC chipsets for smartphones will be launched around early to mid-2023 for which many users are excited to try out the new chip model that will be a prominent one among Samsung‘s flagships.

Motorola Razr 3 specs update: Will come packed with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset

Highlights

  • Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will begin production by the end of 2023, following the launch of Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipsets.
  • The 3 nanometer technology chipset is created by TSMC for which Samsung has a lot of hopes.
  • However the 3nm production from Samsung‘s end would be only 10-20% due to which Qualcomm can employ other methods of production as a supplement to chip inventories.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Chipset to Launch in 2024

Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC is an awaited chipset in 2023 that will come equipped with different Samsung flagship models, while the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset is being worked upon by TSMC with the help of the promising 3 nanometer technology for which Samsung is doing its best.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3

It goes without saying that Qualcomm teams are working extremely hard on the follow-up of the chipsets as recent reports have confirmed that Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will begin production by the end of 2023.

As TSMC has been given the responsibility for the future manufacturing of the chip, the company’s new method of production in 3 nanometer would succeed 80% of the time, while the iPhone 15 chip too will be using the same method for manufacturing.

TSMC stands to gain in this regard as it will be allowed to create both chipsets without having to put a cap on inventories. It was Samsung that first declared the arrival of 3nm manufacturing technology in July 2022 and gained an edge over TSMS by making a statement.

However, it needs to be kept in mind that Samsung‘s contribution in the production of 3nm is only around 10-20%, due to which it is very likely for Qualcomm to employ this production method as a supplement to chip inventories.

TSMC is the only manufacturer in the market that has the capacity to provide Apple, Nvidia, Qualcomm, AMD with most of its processors from the newer generation because there is no opposition from Samsung and other competitors.

TSMS also has the advantage of setting prices as it sees fit due to the technologies required for production being of cutting-edge quality are extremely costly to produce.

Google Chrome Will Block All Suspicious Downloads

0
Google Chrome

Google Chrome is working on a new feature that can block suspicious HTTP downloads that are prevalent everywhere due to which a solution has been in discussions for a long time and may arrive with Chrome 111.

There are many HTTP websites that are unsecure for use that Google has to deal with but currently the secure websites have been blocked from using these unsecure platforms because there are plans to encourage browsing in a safe and secure manner.

Add Hues To Your Google Chrome Browser’s Tab

Highlights

  • Google Chrome currently flags HTTP websites as “Not Secure”.
  • Chrome currently blocks secure websites from using insecure web forms.
  • The browser also uses an “Always use secure connections” toggle.

Google Chrome Plans to Block Fake HTTP Downloads

Google Chrome is the most reliable and, therefore, the most used search engine we have today where people simply have to type the keywords they want to search and press ‘Enter’, following which many solutions pop up in the form of articles and blogs.

Google Chrome

As of late, there have been numerous HTTP downloads that are deemed dangerous due to which Google Chrome is working on this new development where user data will be protected from such fake HTTP downloads.

Most of the secure websites are using HTTPS encryption but Chrome is firm on blocking all HTTP downloads so that users can browse in a safe and secure manner, while currently, the browser has only a handful of security features where you have mixed elements, along with an “Always use secure connections” toggle in the security settings.

If recent reports are anything to go by, there was a new code change spotted online with a feature that warns users regarding insecure downloads from sites via HTTP, while the browser comes with a ‘Not Secure’ warning for older websites that are HTTP-encrypted in the address bar.

The browser will block all downloads that it deems unsafe even if the HTTP encrypted website redirects users to a server with an insecure HTTP for download so that the user is taken to another secure HTTPS connection but if the webpage is available only via HTTP encryption, all the downloads from the site will be blocked by Chrome.

Google Chrome plans to bring this new update with Chrome 111 that comes out in a few months in March 2023 where it will soon undergo testing to make sure that it will be safe for use once it is launched, while Chrome could bring out more information about it very soon.

iPhone in 2023: iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Ultra, iPhone SE 4, iOS 17

iPhone 15

Apple will soon be launching the iPhone 15 series in 2023 that comprises of iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Ultra, iPhone SE 4, iOS 17. The company’s smartphones remain the biggest portion of its phenomenal business where they account for more than half of tech giant’s sales at $394.3 billion in the 2022 fiscal year.

As usual, there are numerous rumours circulating around the upcoming series that is expected to come out during fall season, less than a year after the launch of iPhone 14 series.

Highlights

  • Apple iPhone 15 series will soon be out this year in 2023 that includes iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Ultra, iPhone SE 4, and iOS 17.
  • It is rumoured to come with a periscope-style telephoto lens, a titanium alloy body, and haptic buttons.
  • The star of the entire series is the iPhone 15 where it is said to be far more upgraded than iPhone 14 released the previous year.

iPhone 15 Series Set to Come out in 2023

Apple’s iPhone 15 series is arguably the most awaited model of 2023 that is expected to come out during fall season, which will be enough for people to make their own speculations regarding the series.

iPhone 15

Whatever lies in store for Apple in 2023 might begin and end with the iPhone 15 series where even a spring iPhone has been strongly speculated. Prior to the release of iPhone 15, iPhone SE 4 seems to be in works as well that may hit the market first around early to mid-2023.

There are ample reasons for introducing a new device in the iPhone SE series as the current model has a similar design to iPhone 8, which includes the big bezels and other things, but the problem was that many people thought it looked out of synchronization with times in 2022.

Therefore, one can expect iPhone SE 4 to adapt the old iPhone 11 design, with minimum bezels and a notched display. When it comes to optical features, iPhone SE lacks a dedicated night mode even though its cameras have been well received.

Apple also runs the grave risk of getting shut out of the end of the market in case the iPhone SE spends the year on the bench as its rivals, Google and Samsung, will definitely produce new versions of their mid-range smartphones.

iOS 17 New in 2023

However, one thing can be said for certain that the iOS 17 will release around the same time as the iPhone 15 series, although the future prospects of the software update will be revealed much earlier as Apple has a habit of previewing the newer version of the iOS, which happens during the Worldwide Developers Conference, which will happen in June this year (2023).

Apple seeks to end its App store monopoly by opening up the iPhone to third-party app stores where reports are suggesting that Apple may have something in place for outside apps by the time iOS 17 is launched.
