Apple had its strongest year so far in India with iPhone shipments seeing a major jump in 2025. As per a new report, the growth helped Apple significantly increase its market share in India, which is now the world’s second-largest smartphone market by volume. Here’s more on recent numbers.

iPhone Shipments Grow Sharply in India

According to market data from Counterpoint Research, cited by TechCrunch, Apple’s iPhone shipments in India rose substantially in 2025. This pushed the company’s market share to a record 9 percent, up from roughly 7 percent in 2024. The report notes that this is Apple’s best annual performance in India so far.

Analysts attribute Apple’s strong growth to multiple factors including a broader product lineup that ranges from the latest iPhone 17 series to the previous-generation iPhone 16 models and the non-flagship iPhone 16e. Improved availability of iPhones across both online and offline retail channels also played a key role. In addition, attractive financing options such as no-cost EMIs and bank offers helped make iPhones more accessible to Indian consumers.

Despite Apple’s gains, the overall Indian smartphone market remained flat in 2025 with total shipments estimated at around 152–153 million units.

Made-in-India iPhones Reach Major Milestone

Apple has also been steadily reducing its reliance on China by expanding manufacturing operations in other regions, with India emerging as a key assembly hub. Union Minister of Electronics and Information Technology Ashwini Vaishnaw recently shared that Apple has achieved a major milestone by shipping made-in-India iPhone models worth $50 billion (about Rs. 4.51 lakh crore) in total.

Under the Make in India initiative, Apple and its contract manufacturers, including Foxconn, were onboarded through the PLI scheme. In the first nine months of FY26 alone, Apple exported iPhones worth around $16 billion (about Rs. 1.44 lakh crore). This has taken total shipments of India-made iPhones to $50 billion since FY22.

Meanwhile, experts believe this figure will rise further, as a few months are still left before the current financial year comes to an end.

Interestingly, this comes even as the overall smartphone market in India remained largely stagnant. The total shipments in India hovered around 152 million units for the year.

Modified iPhone Air Spotted with Physical SIM Slot Despite Global eSIM-Only Design

0

Highlights

  • A Chinese electronics store modified the eSIM-only iPhone Air to include a physical SIM slot.
  • The Taptic Engine vibration motor was removed and replaced with a smaller one to free space.
  • The modified device reportedly supports 5G mobile data, phone calls, and IP68 water resistance

Modified iPhone Air with physical SIM slot spotted online.

The iPhone Air is Apple’s first smartphone to be sold worldwide as an eSIM-only device. But now a new report from China suggests that a physical SIM slot can still be added through hardware modification. Images shared online show a modified iPhone Air featuring a SIM tray placed next to the USB-C port. Here’s more on that.

Modified iPhone Air with SIM Slot

Details about the project remain limited and we haven’t been able to verify the original source the viral images related to the project. But it is said to have been carried out by an electronics store located in Shenzhen’s Huaqiangbei market. Some of the project images were shared by famous tipster Ice Universe @UniverseIce on X.

Viral images show a modified iPhone Air with a physical SIM slot.

To make room for the physical SIM slot, the iPhone Air’s original Taptic Engine vibration motor had to be removed. In its place, the modifier reportedly installed a much smaller vibration motor.

By removing the standard Taptic Engine, enough internal space was freed up to accommodate a physical SIM tray. The modification also included connecting a SIM card reader, allowing the physical SIM slot to function normally.

One of the images shows the modified iPhone Air using a China Telecom SIM card, while another image captures the device placing a phone call. The report claims that the phone is able to access 5G mobile data without issues. Even more notably, the device is said to have retained its IP68 ingress protection rating despite the hardware changes.

iPhone Air

Apple iPhone 17 series has been released as eSIM-only in the US, while markets such as Europe continue to receive models with physical SIM card slots. The iPhone Air, however, stands out as the only iPhone that is eSIM-only across all global markets.

The modification suggests that Apple could have included a physical SIM slot in the iPhone Air without major design hurdles, aside from the impact on the vibration motor. That trade-off appears to be the key compromise in this setup. Since the modified device has not been tested hands-on, it remains unclear how much weaker the smaller vibration motor is compared to the original Taptic Engine.

FAQs

Q1. What makes the iPhone Air unique compared to other iPhones?

Answer. The iPhone Air is Apple’s first globally eSIM-only device, unlike other iPhones that still ship with SIM slots in some regions.

Q2. How was the physical SIM slot added to the iPhone Air?

Answer. Modifiers in Shenzhen’s Huaqiangbei market removed the original Taptic Engine and replaced it with a smaller vibration motor to free space for a SIM tray and card reader.

Q3. Does the modified iPhone Air still function normally after the change?

Answer. Yes, reports show it can place calls, access 5G mobile data, and retain IP68 water resistance, despite the hardware modification.

Google has started rolling out a new Google Photos feature that allows users to create personalised memes using artificial intelligence. The “Me Meme” tool uses generative AI to place a user’s photo into popular meme formats along with captions. Here’s more on that.

Google Photos Adds Me Meme – AI-Powered Personalised Memes

Google officially announced the new feature on a support page, where a community manager confirmed the rollout. The AI-powered tool works by taking a selected photo of a person and inserting it into well-known meme templates, complete with humorous or relatable text.

Users can choose from a library of preset meme styles or upload their own templates, and they can also edit the captions to better match the intended joke or message.

Me Meme is part of a wider push to bring AI-assisted creation tools into Google Photos. It aims to give users access to stylised edits, quick enhancement suggestions, and automated creations.

At the moment, the feature is only available in the US.

How Does Me Meme Feature Work?

To create a meme, users need to select a portrait or image of themselves in Google Photos, tap the “Create” or “Meme” option, and then choose a template or add a custom one. The AI then generates a meme-style image, placing text above and below the photo in the familiar meme layout.

According to Google, the templates and captions are designed to be fun, shareable, and respectful of the original meme formats commonly seen on social media.

Google has also clarified that Me Meme is entirely optional and only works on photos that users manually select. The feature does not generate memes automatically, and all AI processing remains within the Photos app unless the user decides to save or share the result.

As of now, there is no confirmation on whether the generated memes will count toward Google Photos storage limits. However, several reports noted that existing policies suggest that newly created items will be counted as new files.

Me Meme expands Google Photos’ growing set of AI-powered tools, which already includes features like Create with AI, Photo to video, Remix, Collage, and more.

FAQS

Q1. What is the Me Meme feature in Google Photos?

Answer. It’s an AI-powered tool that lets users place their own photos into popular meme templates with editable captions.

Q2. How do users create memes with Me Meme?

Answer. By selecting a portrait in Google Photos, tapping “Create” or “Meme,” and then choosing or uploading a template; the AI generates the meme layout with text.

Q3. Where is the Me Meme feature available right now?

Answer. The rollout has started in the US only, as part of Google Photos’ expanding set of AI creation tools.

Apple-Intel Partnership Rumours for Future iPhone Chips Surface Again

0

Highlights

  • Apple may partner with Intel for future iPhone chips starting in 2028 using Intel’s 14A process.
  • Apple to continue to design the chips and TSMC remains the main supplier.
  • Intel could also produce low-end M-series chips for Macs and iPads by 2027 with its 18A process.

Apple is once again rumoured to be considering a renewed partnership with Intel for chip production, although the processors themselves would still be designed by Apple. Instead of chip design, Intel’s role would reportedly be limited to manufacturing.

According to a research note by GF Securities analyst Jeff Pu, as reported in a recent MacRumors report, Intel is expected to start supplying certain Apple chips using its upcoming 14A manufacturing process. This process is said to be on track for mass production in 2028.

Pu had previously stated that Intel could secure a chip supply agreement with Apple for some non-Pro iPhone models beginning in 2028. If this timeline holds, Intel may manufacture a portion of future A21 or A22 chips for iPhones. However, TSMC is still expected to remain Apple’s main chipmaking partner.

The report suggests that Intel would not be involved in the design of iPhone chips. Its role would be restricted to fabrication, marking a clear departure from the Intel Mac era, when Apple relied on Intel-designed x86 processors. Apple started moving away from Intel processors in its Mac lineup in 2020.

Intel has worked with Apple before in other areas as well, having supplied cellular modems for select iPhone models ranging from the iPhone 7 to the iPhone 11.

Beyond iPhones, Apple’s renewed ties with Intel could also extend to Mac and iPad chips. Last year, Tianfeng Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said Intel might begin shipping Apple’s lowest-end M-series chip for certain Mac and iPad models as early as mid-2027. For those chips, Apple is reportedly planning to use Intel’s 18A process. Kuo did not reference iPhone chips in that prediction.

A partnership with Intel could help Apple diversify its supply chain at a crucial time. Nvidia has reportedly overtaken Apple as TSMC’s largest customer, increasing competition for chip manufacturing capacity, particularly for AI servers and consumer devices. At the same time, working with Intel could support Apple’s efforts to expand U.S. manufacturing, aligning with the Trump administration’s push to boost domestic production.

FAQs

Q1. Is Intel designing future iPhone chips?

Answer. No, Apple will continue to design its own processors. Intel’s role would be limited to manufacturing them.

Q2. When could Intel start making chips for iPhones?

Answer. According to analyst Jeff Pu, Intel may begin supplying chips for some non-Pro iPhone models in 2028 using its 14A process.

Q3. Will Apple still rely on TSMC?

Answer. Yes, TSMC remains Apple’s primary chipmaking partner, with Intel expected to handle only a portion of future production to diversify Apple’s supply chain.

WhatsApp is working on solving a long-standing issue for group chats by allowing newly added members to view earlier messages. Yes, it is reportedly working on a feature that will give the new group chat members a better context about the group.

The feature has been spotted in a recent WhatsApp for iOS update released through Apple’s TestFlight beta program, according to WABetainfo. Here’s more on that.

New WhatsApp Feature for Group Chats

According to WABetaInfo, the upcoming feature is designed to let new members receive messages that were sent before they joined a group. This will help users understand the purpose of the group and follow ongoing discussions without feeling lost. At present, WhatsApp only allows users to see messages sent after they become part of a group, unlike platforms such as Telegram that already support chat history access.

As per the report, new members can receive up to 100 recent messages shared in the group over the past 14 days. These shared messages will appear in a different colour, making it easy to distinguish them from new conversations.

WhatsApp will also notify existing group members when chat history is shared with a new participant. In addition, the app will display a message in the group chat mentioning the name of the user who shared the past messages.

The option to share chat history will appear while adding a new member to a group. After tapping on the ‘Add member’ option, users should see a new setting at the bottom of the screen that allows them to share recent messages. They can choose to send up to 100 messages or limit it to fewer messages, depending on their preference.

By default, the feature will remain turned off and WhatsApp will not automatically send previous messages to new members. The app will also show alerts when users attempt to share chat history. These alerts are expected to appear up to three times and from the fourth attempt onwards, messages will be shared once the user confirms the action.

Availability

The feature was earlier hinted at for WhatsApp on Android, but the latest development suggests that the Meta-owned messaging platform is now preparing to roll it out more broadly, starting with iOS users.

Currently, the feature is only available to WhatsApp for iOS users who have installed the beta update via the TestFlight app. The rollout is expected to be gradual. As of now, there is no official timeline yet for a stable release.

FAQs

Q1. What does the new WhatsApp group chat feature do?

Answer. It lets newly added group members receive up to 100 past messages from the previous 14 days, with those messages shown in a different colour to distinguish them from new conversations.

Q2. How is WhatsApp group chat history shared and controlled?

Answer. The share history option appears when adding a member; it is off by default, lets the adder choose how many messages (up to 100) to share, shows alerts before sharing (up to three times), and notifies existing members while naming who shared the history.

Q3. When and where will the new WhatsApp group chat feature be available?

Answer. It was spotted in the WhatsApp for iOS TestFlight beta; rollout will be gradual, there’s no official stable release date yet, and the feature was previously hinted at for Android.

Google is rolling out Personal Intelligence to AI Mode in Google Search after introducing the same capability within the Gemini app. With this update, AI Mode can draw on a user’s personal context to surface deeper insights and deliver more relevant and customised search results.

As part of this enhancement, AI Mode can now connect with Gmail and Google Photos during searches, allowing it to generate personalised responses based on a user’s data and activity.

What Google’s Personal AI Search Can Do?

As an example, Google highlighted how the updated AI Mode can improve shopping-related searches by factoring in past purchases. By analysing shopping history, the feature can suggest products that better align with individual preferences.

Robby Stein, VP of Product, Google Search, shared a personal example in a blog post, saying, “I was looking for a new pair of sneakers, and AI Mode noticed a brand I’d just bought and suggested a new style I hadn’t seen yet. The recommendation was spot on — I bought them instantly!”

The company also explained how AI Mode can assist with travel planning by referencing booking details stored in Gmail and past travel photos saved in Google Photos. This allows the tool to create tailored itineraries rather than generic lists of suggestions.

The tech giant explained, “Say you’re looking for things to do and places to eat that the whole family would enjoy ahead of your upcoming getaway. With Personal Intelligence, AI Mode can reference your hotel booking in Gmail and travel memories in Google Photos, to suggest an itinerary with something for everyone.”

“You’ll see tailored recommendations like an interactive museum perfect for the kids or an old-timey ice cream parlor, because it recalls the many ice-cream selfies captured in your pictures. It’s not just a generic list of restaurants and activities; it’s a personalized starting point for your next great weekend,” the company added.

Privacy and Rollout Details

Google has clarified that Personal Intelligence is an opt-in feature. Users must manually connect their Gmail and Google Photos accounts to Search if they want AI Mode to deliver these personalised experiences.

On the privacy front, Google says AI Mode does not directly train on users’ Gmail inboxes or Google Photos libraries. According to the company, training is restricted to limited information within specific prompts and the model’s responses with the goal to “improve functionality over time.

The rollout is currently happening through Search Labs and is limited to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in the US. The feature is only available for personal Google accounts and is not supported for Workspace business, enterprise, or education users.

FAQs

Q1. What new capability has Google added to AI Mode in Search?

Answer. Google has introduced Personal Intelligence, allowing AI Mode to connect with Gmail and Google Photos for more personalised search answers.

Q2. How can AI Mode use personal data to improve search results?

Answer. It can analyse shopping history from Gmail to suggest products, or reference travel bookings and photos to create tailored itineraries.

Q3. Is the Personal Intelligence feature available to all users?

Answer. No, it’s opt-in and currently limited to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in the US, for personal accounts only.

Leaks around Apple’s next-generation iPhone 18 Pro lineup continue to surface, with fresh claims now shedding light on the size of its redesigned Dynamic Island. Recent rumours have consistently pointed to a smaller cutout on the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. Now, a new leak has offered specific measurements.

According to well-known tipster Ice Universe @UniverseIce on X, the Dynamic Island on the iPhone 18 Pro models will be around 35 percent narrower compared to the one found on the iPhone 17 Pro series. The leaker claims the new cutout will measure roughly 13.5mm in width, down from about 20.7mm on current models.

A mock-up image was also shared to illustrate how the slimmer Dynamic Island could appear on the display.

These dimensions reportedly refer to the default appearance of the Dynamic Island when the display is active. This includes the surrounding black pixels that frame the actual cutouts for the Face ID sensors and the front-facing camera. As seen on existing iPhones, the Dynamic Island is expected to temporarily expand when showing Live Activities, alerts, or other on-screen information.

Earlier reporting from The Information suggested that Apple planned to introduce under-display Face ID on the iPhone 18 Pro models. That report claimed the phones would feature only a hole-punch selfie camera positioned in the top-left corner, eliminating the familiar pill-shaped cutout.

However, newer information indicates that only the Face ID flood illuminator may be moved beneath the display this year. As a result, Apple may reduce the size of the Dynamic Island rather than remove it entirely.

Display industry analyst Ross Young has also weighed in, stating that the smaller Dynamic Island design is expected to remain in place through at least 2027. This suggests that a fully seamless, uninterrupted iPhone display could still be several years away.

While Ice Universe has previously shared accurate information about iPhone dimensions, the leaker’s track record is not flawless. Still, the new details add weight to ongoing speculation about Apple’s gradual approach to redesigning the front of its flagship devices.

Apple will most likely announce the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in September 2026.

FAQs

Q1. How much smaller will the Dynamic Island be on the iPhone 18 Pro models?

Answer. Leaks suggest it will be about 35% narrower, measuring roughly 13.5mm compared to 20.7mm on the iPhone 17 Pro series.

Q2. Will Apple completely remove the Dynamic Island on the iPhone 18 Pro?

Answer. No, reports indicate only the Face ID flood illuminator may move under the display, reducing the cutout size but not eliminating the Dynamic Island entirely.

Q3. When is the iPhone 18 Pro expected to launch?

Answer. Apple is most likely to announce the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max in September 2026.
