The buzz is that Redmi is gearing up to launch the Redmi Note 14 series and the Redmi K80 series.
Both handsets are for the Chinese market and their launch is expected before November this year.
However, alongside these, Redmi is also reportedly working on the Redmi Turbo 4, which might not see the light of the day until early or mid-2025.
But a far-away launch date never stops online communities from doing what it does best – leaking exclusive details.
Recently, we reported that the Redmi Turbo 4 with the model number 2412DRT0AC was spotted in the IMEI database.
It’s speculated that this device could be launched globally, including in India, under the Poco F7 branding.
The global model has the number 2412DPC0AG, while the Indian variant is identified as 2412DPC0AI.
Although the “2412” in the model numbers suggests a December release, the Turbo 4 might launch in Q2 2025, with the Poco F7 following a few weeks later in other markets.
Now another speculation has leaked some more details about the Redmi Turbo 4 aka POCO F7.
The Redmi Turbo 4 is set to launch next year, possibly in Q2 2025.
According to reliable tipster Experience More, the Redmi Turbo 4 will feature a flat display with a 1.5K resolution and a plastic frame.
As a rebranded model, the Poco F7 is expected to share these same specifications, indicating there won’t be significant changes in display and build from their predecessors.
There’s no confirmed information about the chipset powering the Redmi Turbo 4/Poco F7, but speculation suggests it might use the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, following the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 in the previous generation.
The leaker also hinted that the Redmi Turbo 4 will come with a large battery, though the exact size wasn’t revealed.
Given that the Turbo 3 had a 5,000mAh battery with 90W fast charging, the Turbo 4/F7 will likely have at least a 5,500mAh battery.
As for the more immediate launches, the Note 14 series is expected to debut either later this month or in September.
The K80 series may be introduced in November this year.

Foxconn has ramped up production for the iPhone 16 by adding 50,000 workers.
Apple expects a significant increase in demand for the iPhone 16 due to advanced AI features. Leaks reveal that the iPhone 16 will come in five colours: Blue, Pink, White, Black, and Green.
The anticipation for the iPhone 16 is high, with its AI capabilities expected to enhance user experience.
Foxconn, Apple’s main manufacturing partner, has significantly ramped up production for the upcoming iPhone 16, reports Korean Media.
The company has added 50,000 workers to its largest assembly plant in Zhengzhou, China, in anticipation of the increased demand expected this year.
This plant, often referred to as “iPhone City,” is responsible for around 80% of the world’s iPhone production.
Foxconn Hires 50,000 New Workers to Ramp Up iPhone 16 Production in China.
The BusinessKorea reports sais, Taiwan’s Foxconn, Apple’s largest partner, has hired around 50,000 new workers at its Zhengzhou factory in China, local media including the China Business News reported on August 8. This significant recruitment drive comes as the factory ramps up production of the iPhone 16, which is scheduled for release in the second half of this year.”
“Late in July this year, Foxconn posted recruitment information on major job sites and social networking services (SNS) platforms, offering an increased hourly wage of up to 25 yuan (approximately 4,800 won). Additionally, the Zhengzhou factory has offered bonuses of up to 7,500 yuan, a notable increase from the 6,000 yuan bonus offered a month earlier,” the report further said.
To attract the necessary workforce, Foxconn has adopted the strategy of increasing both base pay and bonuses for recruits.
This move highlights the company’s preparation for the peak production period, which typically begins in August and continues through December to meet the demand during the iPhone’s September launch and the holiday shopping season.
Every year, Foxconn ramps up its recruitment efforts in July to hire seasonal workers who will help handle the surge in production.
This year is no exception, but the stakes seem even higher.
Apple is reportedly expecting a significant increase in demand for the iPhone 16, thanks to the introduction of advanced AI features that are expected to be a major selling point.
These features are currently only available on the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models, which could drive a larger number of users to upgrade to the iPhone 16.

Korea To Be A Launch Country, Says Reports
For the first time since the iPhone 3GS, Apple reportedly plans to bring its iPhone 16 to South Korea as part of the September launch.
Apple’s iPhone 16 unveiling is just around the corner, and a new report brings exciting news for Korean users.
For the first time since the iPhone 3GS, Apple is expected to include South Korea in the initial September launch wave.
This marks the first time in 15 years that South Korea will join the early release lineup.
Typically, the latest iPhones arrive in Korea weeks after the initial launch in other countries.
However, with the iPhone 16, Korean users will finally get the chance to be among the first to experience Apple’s latest flagship device.
Regarding the news, Nam Hyun-woo writes for The Korea Times, “Expectations are growing among Apple users in Korea as rumours suggest that Korea could be among the first regions for the iPhone 16 launch. Korean mobile carriers are not confirming whether the country is included in the list of first-release countries. However, several Korean media outlets have reported the early release as confirmed, citing unidentified sources.”
“These days, the Korean market is serving a role of a testbed for global brands, as its consumers are sensitive to trending items and do not hesitate to spend their money on goods they feel are valuable,” a telecom company official said.
“With the iPhone maintaining its market share, particularly among young Koreans, it seems more advantageous for Apple to release its new models in the Korean market and use positive early sales here as a marketing tool,” the official added.

The iPhone 16 is set to launch in September 2024.
Samsung Display and LG Display, Apple’s primary screen suppliers, have reportedly started manufacturing of OLED panels for the new iPhones at a great speed in preparation for the September launch.
The Korean outlet ETNews has reported that Apple has placed orders for approximately 123 million display units, for the estimated 90 million iPhone 16 shipments for this year.
Samsung Display has been tasked with producing 80 million units, while LG Display will supply 43 million panels.

Samsung’s overall unit numbers haven’t increased dramatically, it is is supplying a larger proportion of displays for the higher-end iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max models.
These premium panels make up about 60% of Samsung’s Apple-bound production.
The increased order volume should increase Samsung & LG companies’ financial performance in the last quarter of 2024.

Realme C63 5G throws in an interesting back panel finish that defines the entire look of the phone.
The device is available in two colours, Starry Gold and Forest Green.
For this review, we had the Starry Gold variant and we loved the little shiny reflective colour tone with a smooth texture.
The magnetron-sputtered high-reflection film provides texture brightness and a metallic texture.
This reflects to give a unique light effect with light.
You also don’t need to fret about fingerprints or smudges as the back panel is built to be resistant to both.
The square camera module with curved corners in the top centre of the back is neat.

Analysts believe Apple might charge $10-20 per month for advanced Apple Intelligence features.
It potentially will require an Apple One subscription for full access.
No official indication that Apple plans to charge for Apple Intelligence.
Nothing in this world is free. And Apple fans are certainly not going to be pleased hearing about this new cost speculation that they might have to bear.
Analysts believe that Apple might eventually charge for some of its more advanced Apple Intelligence features, potentially costing users $10-20 per month.
One scenario they suggest is that Apple could require an Apple One subscription to access the full range of AI capabilities.
This approach would mirror the strategy used by companies like OpenAI and Microsoft, where a limited number of AI features are free, but a subscription is needed to unlock the full set.
Two analysts raised the monetization prospect when speaking to CNBC.
Analysts Believe Apple Intelligence Might Cost Up to $20/month.
Neil Shah, partner at Counterpoint Research, said investment in AI is expensive and Apple will want to pass that cost onto its users […] Shah said Apple could charge between $10 and $20 for Apple Intelligence, potentially as part of Apple One, for more premium AI features […].
“Apple is one of the few connected devices companies that has successfully monetized the value-added services it offers,” Ben Wood, chief of research at CCS Insight, told CNBC this week.
“As a result, it has set a precedent with its users that they have to pay for more premium services. On this basis, it can’t be ruled out that Apple may choose to charge for more advanced features within its Apple Intelligence offering.”
However, there’s no indication that Apple plans to charge for any of the Apple Intelligence features being rolled out this year or for the new Siri features expected early next year.
If that were the case, Apple would have likely announced it by now.
While the idea of a paid Apple Intelligence tier in the future can’t be completely dismissed, especially given the company’s focus on growing its service revenue, Apple will need to strike a balance.
The challenge will be determining which AI features should be included to drive hardware sales and which could be offered as optional, subscription-based services.
Craig Federighi summed up Apple Intelligence during the WWDC keynote:
Apple Intelligence is the personal intelligence system that puts powerful generative models right at the core of your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
There are five key pillars of Apple Intelligence that, in combination, distinguish it from other AI (artificial intelligence) tools that already exist.
Powerful: Capable of offering truly useful help
Intuitive: Easy to use and accessible
Integrated: Baked into the core of your devices
Personal: Understands your personal context
Private: Built from the ground up for privacy
Apple claims that no one has an AI offering that can check all these boxes—a claim that certainly seems true.
The goal of Apple Intelligence?
Tim Cook put it well in the keynote: “to make your most personal products even more useful and delightful.”

He does believe that the company will eventually start charging for these features, it won’t be as soon as anticipated by people .
Gurman writes that he expects the company to develop more advanced features on top of the existing Apple Intelligence feature set and charge for those features, but he believes that it’ll take the company at least three years to develop something worth charging for, and that “may be the best-case scenario.”

Image Wand: Use the Apple Pencil to draw a circle in a Note and AI will automatically create a new image with its awareness of the other note contents.
Create Memory movies: Type a request in the Photos app to have a new Memory video created using the best-matching images in your library.
• New and improved Siri
Richer language understanding: Siri with Apple Intelligence is far more forgiving of clunky requests. For example, you can say, “Siri, set an alarm for — oh wait no, set a timer for 10 minutes. Actually, make that 5.”
Personalized assistance: Siri can perform new actions with a deep awareness of your personal context. For example, you can say, “Play that song my wife sent me the other day.”
Onscreen awareness: Now Siri will know what’s on your screen and can assist accordingly. For example, you might say, “Add this address to their contact card.”
Take action across apps: Siri can now perform cross-app actions that save you time. For example, you could ask, “Siri, add this location to my Road Trip note.”
Fresh look: Activate Siri, and rather than popping up in one place, the assistant will instead animate all around the borders of your device with a beautiful glowing light.
Quick typed requests: With a quick double tap at the bottom of your iPhone or iPad’s screen, a keyboard will pop up so you can type a request to Siri rather than speaking it.
Deep Apple product knowledge: Now you can ask Siri questions about any of your Apple devices and OS features and it can provide the info you need.
• ChatGPT integration
Apple has officially partnered with OpenAI to integrate ChatGPT deeply into the iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia systems.
Here’s how Apple details the ChatGPT feature:
With ChatGPT from OpenAI integrated into Siri and Writing Tools, you get even more expertise when it might be helpful for you — no need to jump between tools.
Siri can tap into ChatGPT for certain requests, including questions about photos or documents.
And with Compose in Writing Tools, you can create and illustrate original content from scratch.
ChatGPT will not require an OpenAI account, nor will any of the information it processes be saved or shared with others.
Apple is maintaining its privacy standards with this integration rather than depending on OpenAI to do so.
X (formerly Twitter) introduced a new menu to sort replies by most relevant, most recent, and most liked.
This update aims to reduce clutter from X Premium users and make the replies section more user-friendly.
The sorting setting doesn’t save, users will have to reselect it for each new tweet.
X Premium and X Premium+ subscriptions boost replies to the top, creating a pay-to-win system.
Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter and its rebranding as X has been fascinating.
Users have complained throughout but the active user count has only registered an uptick.
Opinions on his vision for the platform aside, we have to admit that some of the changes in the app were indeed welcome changes.
X Now Allows Users to Sort Replies on Posts
The latest X feature, which rolled out on iOS and the Web yesterday, too is a welcome change.
After introducing the option for users to buy their way to the top of reply sections through an X Premium subscription, the social media platform has now added a new menu that lets users sort replies using more traditional methods.
If you’ve been annoyed by blue checkmark users cluttering replies with irrelevant content just to get more views and engagement, this update is good news!
X informed the app users about the new feature in a post.
rolling out now: sort replies on any post by most relevant, recent, or liked pic.twitter.com/bBjaRliUxZ
— X (@X) August 9, 2024
The new menu allows you to sort replies by most relevant, most recent, and most liked. While “most relevant” may still favour those who pay for X/Twitter, “most recent” and “most liked” are pretty straightforward.
Unfortunately, the reply sorting setting doesn’t save, so you’ll need to reselect it each time you view a new tweet.
X informed the app users about the new feature in a post.
Despite this, it’s a positive step toward making the replies section more user-friendly.
To recap, after Elon Musk took over Twitter in 2022, he introduced Twitter Blue (now called X Premium) for $8/month, which gave users a blue checkmark and boosted their replies to the top.
In 2023, X Premium+ was launched for $16/month, offering an even bigger boost, leading to a pay-to-win system where many users promoted themselves in popular tweet replies.
FAQs

The POCO F7 will have two model numbers: “2412DPC0AG” and “2412DPC0AI.”
The “G” in the first model number signifies that it will be the global version, while the “I” in the second model number indicates it will be sold in the Indian market.
