Amazfit-T Rex-2

It is a good thing that the millennial generation has taken to health and fitness like fish to water and it is no surprise that smartphones and smartwatches are slowly seeing an upward surge in popularity since the past decade that keeps growing.

If we look in Q1 of 2022, there have been nearly 3.8 million units shipped in India where a major chunk of market share has gone to Boat and Noise who are the local players in the game although other companies too have got their fair share of the pie.

Brief Description

Android vs iOS debate rages on

The eternal debate on which of the two is better, Android or iOS, continues to rage on where fanatics continue to show their favorite up at the cost of degrading the other. Well, fanatics will be fanatics and no amount of arguments can reach a definitive conclusion.

Tech-Wrap-iPhone13pro

There are countless smartphones from different brands that will cater to the needs of many a customer because all of them have different tastes. This isn’t about which device/brand is better than the other.

This is just to show that there are mature people that provide arguments in a constructive way but are helpless when it comes to convincing the die-hard fanatics. The final decision is up to you, the customer, as it is you who have to decide on which one you want to buy based on preference.

The one that has experienced the use of both Android and Apple can decide which one he’d want to pitch to a customer but that too is a subjective opinion because it all depends on what features he’s looking for in the smartphone he wants to buy.

Some prefer strong battery life while others opt for the best in-class display and yet others want nothing beyond a nice camera set-up. At the end of the day, it is your decision as to which one you want of the two based on your own liking and preference.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk who initially kept the Twitter deal on hold has decided to pull out of the much-hyped deal. Explaining the reason behind his decision, Musk alleges that Twitter had breached multiple provisions of the merger agreement

Reacting to his Musk’s decision, Twitter chairman Bret Taylor has said that the Company plans to pursue legal action to enforce the merger agreement.

According to Taylor, the Twitter Board is committed to closing the transaction on the price and terms agreed upon with Musk. He expressed confidence that Twitter will prevail in the Delaware Court of Chancery.

However, Twitterati asked Taylor why is he eager to be owned by someone who does not want to own him. While other user @artasbartas wrote if the business is so great, why are you so desperate to sell at this price? And if it’s not, maybe focus on building a great product instead of pursuing legal battles.

Not only the chairman but Twitter Inc employees also expressed disbelief and exhaustion after Musk announced his decision to terminate the $44 billion merger agreement struck in April this year. They post memes and jokes. However, employees are more worried about the road ahead.

Twitter on April 25 confirmed it would be acquired by an entity wholly owned by Elon Musk at approximately $44 billion. Twitter was to become a privately held company after the completion of the transaction.

Shares of Twitter were down 6% at $34.58 in extended trading. That is 36% below the $54.20 per share Musk agreed to buy Twitter in April.

Musk, who is the chief executive of automaker Tesla and rocket company SpaceX, connected with Twitter staff on a video town hall and said that he wanted to grow the company to at least 1 billion users from 229 million. Employees were also told that users should be allowed to post “pretty outrageous things.”
