The Indian residential air conditioning (AC) industry has been experiencing a surge in demand due to the prevailing heatwave, seen especially in the north.

With that in mind, the industry is expecting a prolonged summer season, thus, a continued demand for ACs and other summer appliances such as refrigerators too.

AC today is no longer an aspirational product but a necessity.

However, the penetration continues to be at approximately 7.5% in India.

This holds immense growth potential for the AC industry.

This season, we are expecting that the AC market shall grow by 25% over the season last year.

At Panasonic, we are looking to grow by 40% compared to the last AC season.

On the other hands, if we talk about B2B business our range of products and solutions spans across various industrial sectors, including servo motors, smart factory solutions, SMP machines, writing robots, and welding machines.

These segments have demonstrated consistent growth over time.

We believe there is immense growth potential across all these categories, particularly as the country’s infrastructure continues to expand, supported by increased capital expenditure allocations as seen in recent budgets.

At Panasonic, we anticipate that this strategic approach will persist, fostering a positive environment for the creation of opportunities within the country.

Apple iOS 18 Preview Reveals Major Updates to iPhone Apps and System Design

Highlights

  • iOS 18 update boosts A17 Pro chip AI performance by 25%.
  • Core ML Neural Inference Score on Geekbench increased from 6249 to 7816.
  • A17 Pro’s Neural Engine handles up to 35 trillion operations per second.
  • MLTensor addition to Core ML framework enhances machine learning capabilities.

Looks like Apple’s been tinkering under the hood with iOS 18, and it’s made the A17 Pro chip a fair bit nippier when it comes to AI tasks.

A17 Pro Getting Better with iOS 18

Apple has something called Core ML, its fancy machine-learning framework that is aiding iPhones and other Apple gadgets to chew up AI stuff faster and more efficiently.

The beauty of Core ML, of course, is that all its work is done on your device, meaning you do not need an internet connection, and your data stays put.

Now, after some small digging, one tech enthusiast on X got something: they found out that when you update from iOS 17.5.1 to iOS 18, the Neural Engine part of the A17 Pro chip—the brains of your iPhone 15 Pro Max—can now run at speeds of, at the most, up to 25 percent faster.

iOS 18 Reportedly Boosts A17 Pro Chip Performance by 25% for AI Tasks

They have got the numbers to back it up, too—the Core ML Neural Inference Score on Geekbench went from 6249 to 7816.

Let’s talk to the spec people: The A17 Pro packs in 8GB of RAM and its Neural Engine is capable of handling a full 35 trillion operations per second. That is some fair jump from the A16 Bionic inside the regular iPhone 15, which peaks at 17 trillion.

If rumors pan out, the M4 iPad Pro Neural Engine will support 38 trillion operations per second, which could be an indicator of what we might get from the A18 and A18 Pro chips that await us with the next round of iPhones.

Apple Tweaking With its ML Framework

A17 Pro's Neural Engine handles up to 35 trillion operations per second

Apple’s also tweaked a bit Core ML, adding something called MLTensor.

It should make it easier to do stuff with multi-dimensional arrays—pretty important for machine learning.

Now, the important thing here is, of course, that this 25 percent speed bump comes directly from the software update. Once the A18 and A18 Pro chips come out, we should be seeing even bigger improvements.

YouTube Introduces VPN Crackdown, iOS Privacy Prompts, and YouTube Music Redesign

Highlights

  • YouTube cracks down on VPN tricks for cheaper Premium subscriptions.
  • New privacy prompts for iOS users aligning with Apple’s App Tracking Transparency.
  • YouTube Music web version gets a new two-column design layout.
  • Users using VPN for Premium may face subscription cut-offs.

YouTube’s been a little busy lately, making some changes in the way it works.

From addressing issues with VPNs for cheaper premiums to close with a redesign on YouTube Music, let’s break this down, shall we?

No More Cheap Premium Tricks: VPN Crackdown

YouTube cracks down on VPN tricks for cheaper Premium subscriptions
YouTube cracks down on VPN tricks for cheaper Premium subscriptions

It appears YouTube has cottoned on to people using VPNs to get cheaper Premium subscriptions.

As it happens, the price for Premium differs quite a bit depending on where you are in the world.

Someone clever thought to use a VPN to pretend that they were in a country with lower prices in order to save a few quid.

Well, YouTube’s not having that anymore.

They have confirmed they can identify someone lying about their location at the time of signing up.

And if they do catch you in the act, it will prompt you to update your billing info.

What’s even funnier is that most of those people in Reddit have complained about their Premium subscriptions, just being cut off without any reason.

Now, considering the case that they are all making use of this VPN trick, it really doesn’t take a genius to understand why.

iOS Users: New Privacy Prompts on the Way

New privacy prompts for iOS users aligning with Apple’s App Tracking Transparency

Heads up: If you’ve been using YouTube on an Apple device, you might be about to see a brand-new prompt.

Want your location shared for better, more personalized videos on YouTube?

YouTube’s doing this to play nice with Apple’s privacy rules, especially that App Tracking Transparency thing they brought in with iOS 14.5.

Here’s how it’ll work: The first time you open the app, you’ll receive an in-app prompt with two options.

By turning on ‘Allow Tracking’, YouTube would be able to achieve the same connecting state as before, between your in-app and other non-Google app and web activity from your device.

Choosing ‘Ask App Not to Track’ would mean they can’t connect that stuff anymore, which might mean less personalized advertising, but probably also more repetitive ads.

If you pay for a Premium subscription or are on a children’s account, you will never see any of this at all.

And if you change your mind later, you can always fiddle with it in your iOS settings.

YouTube Music Gets a Facelift

YouTube Music web version gets a new two-column design layout

Last but not least, YouTube Music is also receiving a design update on the web.

If you use music.youtube.com regularly, you might notice that some things look a bit different.

They’ve gone with a two-column layout like they did on their Android tablet app.

On the left you now have all the info about the album, name, artist, date of release, and all that.

There is also a little Wikipedia blurb that you can expand if one is feeling curious.

On the right, you have the list of songs.

The whole thing has a background that is made blurry to have a life of its own.

The same treatment is devoted to playlists.

This is all about utilizing the space on your laptop or desktop screen better.

FAQs

What is the new VPN policy for YouTube Premium?

YouTube has started identifying users who use VPNs to sign up for cheaper Premium subscriptions and will prompt them to update their billing information if caught.

What changes can iOS users expect with YouTube’s new privacy prompts?

iOS users will see an in-app prompt asking for location sharing to enhance video personalization, in compliance with Apple’s App Tracking Transparency.

How does the new design update affect YouTube Music on the web?

The redesign introduces a two-column layout, with album and artist information on the left and song lists on the right, enhancing the user experience on larger screens.

Will Premium subscribers or children’s accounts see the new iOS privacy prompts?

No, users with Premium subscriptions or on children’s accounts will not see the new privacy prompts.

Xiaomi is ready to introduce the next generation of the Redmi K80 series, and if initial speculations are anything to go by, they are not leaving any stone unturned in terms of upgrades.

Let us break down everything we know so far.

Redmi K80 Series: What We know So Far

First off, they’re leaving the processor alone.

Word has it there will be two models: one running the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and another running the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4.

That’s some serious firepower under the hood, right there.

The screen’s getting a bump up, too.

They’re sticking with a 2K display but now it has some fancy eye protection tech.

Two models: Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Gen 4 processors

Should make binge-watching a bit easier on the old peepers.

Design-wise, well, we’ve seen this one before.

Metal frame, glass body—you get the gist.

It looks very directly premium in a way that’s become very tried and tested.

They’re also boosting the battery life quite a bit: They’re putting in a 5500mAh battery, up from 5000mAh in the last model.

And they’re sticking with 120W fast charging, so you won’t be attached to that plug long.

Now, the camera’s where things get interesting.

The Pro model will sport a 50MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom.

That’s proper flagship territory.

They may include a macro feature, but that is still up in the air.

For unlocking, the Pro’s going high-tech with an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner under the screen.

It’s supposed to work even if your fingers are wet or mucky.

Fancy stuff, but it doesn’t come cheap.

Xiaomi Lamborghini Collaboration

Redmi K80 series will also have a Champion Edition says tipster

Oh, and hold on to your hat—Xiaomi has reportedly collaborated with Lamborghini.

No, not the phone manufacturer; the car-making company.

They might bring out a special edition variant phone.

A great deal of that luxury brand appeal, I reckon.

Right, so there’s a bit more meat on these new Redmi phones.

Certainly, they are not moving away from the straight-screen design.

Redmi K70 Pro Champion Edition was a collaboration between Redmi and Lamborghini

No fancy curved edges here.

Some folks say it’s better for durability—fair play to Xiaomi not hopping on a curved bandwagon.

Now, that Lamborghini partnership—isn’t all for show.

The same thing was done in the past with the K70 Pro Champion Edition.

Smart move for my money—gets people talking, and at the same time, gives the phone a little extra special feel over just being another mid-range device.

The thing that has not been revealed so far is the price.

Knowing Xiaomi, it will likely be competitive; however, at this point, with all these upgrades, one should not be expecting a dirt-cheap price.

They’re clearly gunning for a higher market segment with this.

The purple one looks pretty nice, actually.

That means it can take dust and a little water, handy if you’re a bit of a klutz.

It isn’t the thinnest phone at 7.6mm, but it doesn’t tick that chunky box.

At 177 grams, it wouldn’t be that heavy in your pocket.

There you go—something that seems like a pretty reasonable mid-range option.

Nothing exactly groundbreaking, although it does seem to tick a lot of boxes for everyday use.
