Internet Ban In Iran

The Iranian government has witnessed an exponential rise in the number of protests over the past few days. The citizens of Iran are protesting due to women’s safety issues, economic recessions, freedom of speech and choice.

Still, the protest took a violent turn resulting in the death of 6 people. Also, the government of Iran has shut down the internet facility in the country due to the protests.

All the protests started after the death of a 22-year-old girl  Mahsa Amini in police custody who was there because she was not wearing a Hijab correctly. Police said she passed away due to a heart attack, but her family said Amini didn’t have any heart-related disease.

To help Iran’s people, the US government has entered the game by permitting their tech giants to allow Iranians internet access. This was officially revealed by the US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Friday.

Blinken said that the government of Iran is afraid of its citizens and added further that they would help the 80 million people of Iran to have internet access so that they can be in contact with other countries.

How the US is helping Iranians

The US government has allowed its tech companies to support Iranians; in the list, many social media platforms, collaboration platforms, video conferencing, and cloud-based service providers are present that will aid the Iranian population digitally.

The US government will provide Virtual Private Network (VPN) software, anti-malware software, and anti-tracking software to Iranian people so that they can access the internet freely and securely too.

The US government will also deliver additional authorisation to the services that are provided to Iranians so that the Iranian population would resist the internet laws that are imposed on them.

The softwares that require some personal information as a part of verification will not demand the data now to ensure the safety of Iranians from their government.

In the past, WhatsApp also helped the population of Iran in conversing with each other and to spread important news.

Signal, a messaging app, also said that they would set up a proxy server so that Iranians stay connected with their network and can communicate with each other.

Many other repressive tools are even provided to the population so that if more strict internet laws emerge in Iran, then the people have the option to communicate and would fight against their regime.

Elon Musk also confirmed that his company Starlink would provide its services to the people of Iran and dedicate its satellite to the country. Musk even helped Ukraine in the war against Russia.

Yet officials say that the internet ban is not dangerous as it was in 2019, when more than 1500 people were killed in only two weeks, but officials also say that it is not the correct time to judge the future of protests.

Some political experts are even citing that they are seeing a new future of Iran that can be a democratic country with equal rights for everyone.

Final Words

Protests in Iran are getting apprised again after some years, and now they are due to the death of Mahsa Amini, who was arrested for not wearing a Hijab correctly and then passed away in police custody.

Seeing the protests, the government of Iran shut down the internet of the country and then the US came to help the people of Iran, allowing their tech companies to help Iranians get internet access.

If you sit down and make a list of the top 10 media applications we have, WhatsApp will definitely find itself in the list with many even adding it in their top 5 and top 3, which is saying something as it has been more than a decade it was launched and still caters to public taste, which is the most fickle and disloyal thing in this world that changes overnight.

It isn’t that WhatsApp had everything going for it as there have been times when it witnessed ups and downs. Over the years, it has received stiff competition from Telegram, Signal, and other messaging platforms, which continues to grow with each passing day so to

Still, even in 2022, it is arguably the number one messaging platform we have in existence that has come a long way from being a mere substitute to SMS to becoming a the proverbial messaging app where you could not only send/receive messages but also have video calls with near and dear ones sitting on the other side of the world.

Iranian Issue

Iran has been in troubled waters for quite some time in a similar manner to its neighbour, Afghanistan, as all social media platforms and internet is being shut down in the entire country with WhatsApp and Instagram having their access restricted to many citizens.

WhatsApp Working to Keep Iranians Connected

Both are the final two social networking sites in the country to be shut down amidst massive protests over the gruesome murder of a two people along with that of a woman’s death in police custody that took not just Iran but the entire world by storm.

Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old girl, was arrested around mid September 2022 in Tehran by the morality police for ‘unsuitable attire’, which unleashed a wave of fury among the netizens regarding freedom in the Islamic Republic and its plunging economy due to sanctions.

The public outrage went from bad to worse as protesters torched police stations, vehicles, and public property all around without respite due to which the county had to impose a complete ban on the internet.

Iranian officials have complete access over public accounts while the citizens are able to do the same via VPNs and other proxies. It remains to be seen as to how long these protests will continue and whether the ban on the internet will be lifted any time too soon or not.

One can only hope for the best in such perilous situations and hope for things to work out in an Islamic republic.

Chromebook Split Screen Techniques

This year, Google released the 100th update for Chrome OS, taking advantage of the occasion to introduce brand-new features. Among them, a brand-new Chrome OS launcher and a screen recording tool with built-in support for Chrome OS were unveiled.

Later, Google added a new Partial Split feature that functions similarly to Windows 11’s Snap Layouts. Your Chromebook’s screen can be quickly split into two, allowing you to work with two windows side by side with just one click.

You can now benefit from having two windows open at once on your Chromebook in a number of ways, including:

It enhances multitasking efforts

One of the main benefits of being able to split screen on Chromebook is that it allows you to multitask more effectively. This means that you can work on two tasks simultaneously, which can be a real-time-saver when you’re under pressure to get multiple things done at once.

There’ll be fewer distractions on the screen

Another advantage of having multiple windows open is that it makes the Chromebook screen feel less cluttered when you need to use two apps simultaneously.

Chrome split screen can be really helpful if you need to focus on one task, in particular, allowing you to work more efficiently and achieve better results with fewer distractions.

So in this article, we have explained 5 different ways to split screen on a Chromebook to help you multitask effortlessly.

Using the maximise button to enable split-screen on a Chromebook

Chromebook Split Screen Techniques

The Maximise button also has other functions besides increasing and decreasing the window size. It can be used to split the Chromebook’s screen. This is how you can do it.

  1. Click and hold the “Maximise” button in the title bar of an open window. The maximise button will then have arrow indicators next to it on both the left and right. Simply drag the window to the left, and it will automatically reposition itself.
  2. Apply the same procedure to a second window. Drag the “Maximise” button to the right while holding the button down. Your Chromebook’s screen has now been split successfully. You can now see two windows simultaneously. Simply click the Maximise button to return to the full-screen versions of them, and the app will expand to its original size.

Using keyboard shortcuts or a touchpad, you can split the screen on a Chromebook

You can easily split the screen on a Chromebook using keyboard shortcuts by following the below steps:

  1. To move a window to the left side while you are on an active window, simply press “Shift + [.”
  2. After activating a window, press “Shift +]” while clicking on another window to snap it to the right side of your Chromebook’s screen. You can easily split the screen on your Chromebook in this manner.
  3. Hover the mouse cursor over the intersection of the two windows in split-screen mode to change the window size. There will be a slider there immediately. To automatically resize the windows, hold the slider in place and slide it to the desired side.

You can split the screen on your Chromebook using touchpad gestures in addition to keyboard shortcuts. Yes, there are a few simple touch gestures that even Chrome OS supports. Here’s how they operate:

  1. Swipe up with three fingers on the touchpad to reveal the overview menu if you have several windows open.
  2. After that, click and drag a window to the left or right, depending on your preference. The window will snap back to that position right away.
  3. To split the screen on your Chromebook, click the window of your choice on the opposite side of the screen.

Chromebook Split Screen Techniques

On your Chromebook, use split screen by dragging and dropping

Dragging and dropping split screen where you want it can sometimes be the simplest method of using it. Simply open the first website you want to display and drag it to the left or right edge of the screen from the title bar.

Once the window is on the side of the screen you want it to snap to, let go of the mouse. When the screen’s outline has formed, release the mouse to dock the device.

If you want to work on two documents simultaneously on the same screen and need to refer to one of them, this mode is useful.

Using Windows 11-like snap layouts, capture windows on a Chromebook

You can quickly move windows to different locations on your screen with the help of Snap Layouts. Google has been developing a window-snapping function dubbed “Partial Split” that is modelled after it.

All Chrome OS channels, including Stable, Beta, and Dev, already have the feature available on Chrome OS 105 or above. However, it is still disabled by a few Chrome settings, so you must manually enable Partial Split on your Chromebook. Here’s how you approach it.

  1. Verify that Chromebook is supported by version 105 or higher. Open Chrome and then paste the following address (chrome://flags/#partial-split) into the address bar. From the drop-down menu, select “Enable” to make the feature active.
  2. After that, paste the address (chrome://flags/#cros-labs-float-window) and make sure this feature is enabled as well. The “Stay on top” option in the Partial Split menu will be activated. To apply the changes, click “Restart” now.
  3. After logging in, simply place your mouse over the “Maximise” button to instantly see the Partial Split menu. On your Chromebook, you can choose between a half-screen, partial-screen, or full-screen split. You can also pin a window on top of everything using the “float on top” feature.
  4. This is how the Chromebook’s Partial Split feature operates. We expect Google to add more split views, keyboard shortcuts, and features before a wider rollout because the feature is currently locked behind a flag.

Use the Duallas Extension to split screens on a Chromebook

Right beside the URL bar you can find an extension, which is called Dualless. It appears to be two split windows. Click on the tab you want to be on one side of the screen if you have two or more tabs open.

After that, select the window’s size by clicking the Dualless extension. The window will automatically resize and move to the desired side.

When multitasking, using a split screen is extremely beneficial for maximising productivity. However, this method works best with devices that have larger screens.

Roadmap for Innovation and Industry Reconstruction; Telecom Bill

Things have definitely changed ever since the Central Government changed back in 2014 when Narendra Modi came to power with a thumping majority, which is the first time in three decades when a political party came to power with a complete majority ever since the Congress Party won with the maximum number of votes in 1984.

However, it needs to be mentioned that, Congress winning in 1984 and Rajiv Gandhi becoming Prime Minister was largely due to the massive sympathy wave due to Indira Gandhi’s assassination but Narendra Modi-led BJP was largely due to merit and the massive corruption scandals of the Congress-led UPA government from 2004-2014.

Now, even in 2022, the current government refuses to show signs of slowing down with Modi’s popularity growing manifolds all across the globe with each passing day.

With the latest news coming out, things are truly getting better and better with Telecom Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announcing the new Telecom Bill for industry reconstruction and innovation.

Brief Summary

Mr. Vaishnaw has claimed at a Public Affairs Forum India Event that the new Telecom Bill will bring up a clear roadmap for reconstructing industries, innovation, and infrastructure. He has vouched that in the next 2 to 3 years the digital regulatory framework will be completely revamped.

The bill will balance rights of individuals, societal objectives, technological framework, among others. Vaishnaw opines that technology keeps upgrading with the passage of time where you need reconstruction but the Telecom Ministry was unsure as to how to put that in a bill because if reconstruction has to happen, everything has to be taken into consideration.

Telecom Ministry

PM Modi has asked the telecom ministry to set a target for globally benchmarking the digital legal regulatory framework of the country for which the digital industry needs a comprehensive set of legislations.

The telecom bill has been drafted and also includes Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms as part of the telecommunications service where there is a provision to waive of penalty and fees of internet service providers.

Ashwini Vaishnaw concluded the event by claiming that the next quarter of a century will become a period of inclusive growth where investment will be the proverbial tool for growth where the main focus will be creativity, innovation, manufacturing, organizing, reformed rules and regulations, education and health infrastructure, among others.

While the roadmap has been put out, it remains to be seen as to how successful the endeavor will be but given the track record of the current central government, one can very well see that they will come out with flying colours.

Top 10 Smartphone Myths That You Too Might Have Fallen For

Top 10 Smartphone Myths

Ever since smartphones were introduced, there have been numerous myths associated with them. It’s amazing how, despite the continuous debunking of these myths associated with smartphones, they are popular among people.

We all think we know the tricks and advice that will benefit our mobile phones, whether it’s extending battery life or using the smartphone at a distance to prevent harmful radiation. But are you sure these methods work?

To help put an end to the widespread misconceptions about modern smartphones, we’re going to address the top 10 most common myths associated with these devices:

Cell phones can start fires at gas stations

There has never been a recorded instance of a cell phone setting a gas station on fire. The MythBuster Discovery TV programme claims that attempts to start gas pump fires with cell phones have failed.

Fires that happen at gas stations are typically started by a buildup of static electricity and not your cell phone. These dangerous static charges can be produced when getting in and out of your car.

So even though your phone won’t cause a fire, leave it in the vehicle. It will be easier for you to pay attention to your surroundings.

Top 10 Smartphone Myths

A similar myth lies around the use of smartphones in hospitals and on planes. Due to these myths, the stewardess asks us to turn off our phones, and there are signs around hospitals asking us to put them away.

The battery in your phone is harmed by overnight charging

Smartphones are referred to as “smart” devices because they can detect when charging is complete. Once the battery level reaches 100%, the phone will no longer accept charges.

If you leave it plugged in all night, your battery life will be slightly shortened over time because the phone will restart charging whenever the power reaches 99%.

Even though the phone is not charging, electricity is still being used. So, the cable should still be removed when you go to bed.

Top 10 Smartphone Myths

Before charging, let your phone discharge completely

Not only is it bad for the battery to let your phone run completely flat before plugging it in, but if you do it frequently, it may even cause damage. Your phone’s Lithium-ion battery doesn’t suffer from the memory effect, so you don’t need to completely discharge it to get accurate readings on the percentage of the battery that is still charged.

Connecting your battery to a charger whenever you have a chance is the best thing you can do for it.

Low screen light is better for your eyes

It doesn’t matter how bright or dark you keep your phone; it won’t hurt your eyes. However, if you keep the light dim, it will strain your eyes. You might get a headache from that, but your eyes won’t be harmed.

Smartphones generate harmful levels of radiation

If everyone was still convinced that this was actually true, then we would all throw our phones out in the nearest trash can and take a long decontamination shower. However, the anxiety that phones were releasing dangerous radiation was so pervasive when it was introduced that some people still have it in the back of their minds.

Some people may even still use their phones while holding them at a “safe distance.” But after extensive investigation, we can say with certainty that phones solely transmit electromagnetic waves. As a result, they are no worse for you than listening to the radio.

Your phone will run faster if background applications are closed

Apps that are “running” and those that are “open in the background” might occasionally be confused. A background-running app isn’t running; instead, it’s in a condition that facilitates relaunching it easier and faster. The resources needed by “open in the background” apps are minimal.

Closing every background app on your phone will not make it run faster. On the contrary, closing “background-running” apps can improve the performance of your phone.

Avoid using your phone while it is charging

Top 10 Smartphone Myths

Contrary to popular belief, using your phone as it charges won’t cause it to explode or harm the battery. Unless you are using a cheap, knockoff charger, charging while using it is entirely OK. The phone will charge properly even if it will do so more slowly while plugged in than it would if you weren’t using it.

More data is used by 4G than by 3G

This is quite complicated. On the one hand, we are aware that 4G speeds up video and streaming download times. We also know that regardless of whether your phone is utilising 3G, 4G, or even 5G, the quantity of data consumed to perform this remains the same.

However, research has shown that users who regularly use 4G consume their data faster than those who regularly use 3G. But, the speed of the 4G speeds is to blame for this, not the fact that it uses more data. In the case of 4G speed uses more content and videos can be consumed in the same amount of time.

A camera with more megapixels is of superior quality

Additional Camera

This is another misconception that most likely started during the early days of point-and-shoot digital cameras when everyone was obsessed with megapixels. But in reality, a camera’s megapixel count merely provides information on the maximum size of the picture it can capture and not the picture’s quality itself.

Even smartphone brands play around with the myth by continuing to advertise how many megapixels their camera has. The quality of the sensor, lens and image processor is much more important to consider. Additionally, do a little research on the camera quality before buying a smartphone.

You should only use the charger that was provided with your phone

In some ways, the only reason this misconception is spread is so that smartphone manufacturing brands can make a profit. The smartphone profit margins are extremely low, and a large portion of a company’s income comes from the accessories sector. Because of this, they have a strong reason to encourage you to use OEM chargers.

The truth is that you may use any charger with your phone as long as it was made to the manufacturer’s specifications. The duplicates, on the other hand, are reported to be quite hazardous.

The majority of people are unaware of the distinction between a high-quality third-party charger and an inexpensive Chinese counterfeit. Because they are constructed in accordance with the original specifications of the manufacturer’s charger, high-quality producers like Belkin, Amazon, and others are completely safe for use with your smartphone.

Apple’s A16 vs  Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1

To mention about OS compatibility, overall app management, Gaming performance, throttling issues, 5Nanometer vs 4Nanometer, The new A16 Chipset by Apple, 8gen and 8 gen +1 chipset by Snapdragon and Mediatek Dimensity chipsets.

Their performance in comparison, Apple’s A16 Chipset is a 4nanometer based tech so we have to mention its benefits above the 5 nanometres chipset, and why it is important to know about the chipset technology before buying a phone.

CPU

Two high-performance and four high-efficiency cores make up the hexa-core A16 Bionic chip. With its 16 billion transistors, the CPU can process data more quickly. The new chip is extremely efficient because it uses the most recent 4nm fabrication process from TSMC.

An octa-core processor has eight cores, such as the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. A powerful Cortex-X2 core operating at 3.2GHz, four Cortex-A710 powerful cores, three Cortex-A710 performance cores, and four Cortex-A510 effective cores are among the components of the processor.

Also Read: MediaTek Continues its Dominance in Smartphone Chipset Market

The 4nm fabrication process used by TSMC is the same one used by the Apple A16 Bionic and the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1.

Apple has claimed that the efficiency cores of the A16 Bionic use only one-third of the power of its closest rival, which can be insinuated as the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1.

Furthermore, Apple claimed that the A16 Bionic’s performance cores are 20% more efficient than those of its predecessor. It is evident from this that Apple’s A16 Bionic this year is all about efficiency.

GPU

Apple has increased memory bandwidth by 50% while maintaining its 5-core GPU design.  It implies that the A16 Bionic can play games with demanding graphics without breaking a sweat. Additionally, a new display engine that will power the iPhone 14 Pro series’ always-on display feature has also been added.

The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, on the other hand, has a new Adreno 730 GPU that supports HDR gaming, volumetric rendering, Snapdragon Elite Gaming, and more. A specialized Frame Motion Engine is also included for consistent graphics performance even at a greater refresh rate.

Apple’s A16 vs  Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1

Connectivity

Apple has been developing its own modem for a while, but it appears that the corporation is not yet ready to introduce the integrated modem. On the A16 Bionic, Apple almost certainly uses Qualcomm’s 5G modem.

Both sub-6GHz and mmWave frequency bands are supported by the 5G modem on the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max, however, it is currently only available in the US and Puerto Rico. In other locations, it supports nearly all the crucial sub-6GHz frequencies. Additionally, the A16 Bionic supports Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6.

As Qualcomm is a market leader in wireless technology, its flagship chipsets naturally have cutting-edge features and capabilities. The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1’s inbuilt X65 5G modem supports both mmWave and sub-6GHz bands, but availability is dependent on the smartphone manufacturer. Wi-Fi 6, 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, and LE (Low Energy) are also supported by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1.

Artificial intelligence and Machine learning

For the A16 Bionic, Apple has created a new neural engine with a processing speed of 17 trillion operations per second. A total of 16 cores of an improved neural engine are used for computational photography. To create detailed and bright photos, you can analyze photos pixel by pixel.

In this area, Qualcomm easily outperforms Apple. The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1’s 7th generation AI engine is capable of 27 trillion very large operations per second. Additionally, its AI engine provides superior performance per watt, which ought to increase battery life.

Moreover, it has a 3rd generation detection hub to conduct AI activities with low power consumption without compromising on battery life.

ISP

The A16 Bionic’s ISP has undergone significant improvements thanks to Apple, such as  creating a brand-new ISP, or image signal processor, designed specifically for the iPhone 14 Pros’ unique quad-pixel sensor.

To provide the quad-pixel sensor more versatility and enable speedier computational photography, Apple estimates that the ISP can carry out 4 trillion operations each snap.

Additionally, Apple has shown a new Photonic engine that enables Deep Fusion to take place sooner in the process, producing photos that are more vivid, detailed, and dazzling.

The new ISP also supports other technologies, including ProRes and Dolby Vision HDR, as well as the new Action Mode, which stabilises shaky films.

Apple’s A16 vs  Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1

The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1’s ISP is reportedly quite powerful. The triple 18-bit ISP captures 3.2 gigapixels per second. It can record 8K HDR films and 64MP images without latency.

It can also shoot in RAW at 18 bits and has a 5X better night mode. It also contains a specialized Bokeh Engine for 4K videos, akin to the A16 Bionic’s Deep Fusion. The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1’s ISP is as strong as the A16 Bionic’s.

After comparing the Apple A16 Bionic and the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, it is clear that the A16 is the better model. Apple’s CPU and GPU are superior, and it’s unclear when the Snapdragon CPUs will catch up. The A16 is currently the quickest smartphone processor available.

What was 5nm?

The A14 Bionic was based on 5-nm technology from TSMC. The 5nm chipset adopted TSMC’s most cutting-edge production method before anyone else in the smartphone business.

Apple is a significant customer of TSMC, the largest contract chip maker in the world. According to TSMC, the 5-nm technique makes transistors thinner so they can be packed onto tiny slabs of silicon more closely, increasing performance by 20% and energy efficiency by 40%.

The processor also included a quad-core graphics processing unit (GPU), which increased speed by 30% and allowed users to run high-resolution games and other animations. Apple improved the neural engine built into the processor, giving it 16 cores that could execute artificial intelligence tasks at a rate of about 11 trillion operations per second (TOPS), more than double the rate of the eight-core Neural Engine in the A12, which could execute five TOPS.

4nm vs 5nm

It is important to note that the A16 Bionic is built on modern fabrication; in contrast to the A15 Bionic, it features a 4nm fab. It has two cores with excellent performance and four cores with good efficiency. According to Apple, the new 4nm technology boasts a 5-core GPU with 50% higher memory bandwidth.

Mediatek chipset

The MediaTek Dimensity provides outstanding CPU, graphics, and AI performance, spectacular cameras, cutting-edge multimedia, and the choice of sub-6GHz and mmWave connections, creating exceptional smartphone experiences.

Vivo, RealMe, OnePlus are some of the smartphones that support the MediaTek chipset.

The game becomes extremely challenging once you reach the 30–40 point range, so if you’re scoring anything above 45 points, as shown on the leaderboard, you’ll probably be in the top 1% of players.

The game is totally free, and users of the iPhone 14 Pro must give it a shot because of the incredible haptics and entertaining gameplay.

Apollo for Reddit

display island feature

The majority of Reddit users would be familiar with Apollo right away. It has a tonne of features and is one of the best third-party Reddit clients. The Dynamic Island Zoo has now been included by the app’s creator, which is a cute little game.

You can use this to “adopt” a pixel-pet animal that resides on top of the pill cutout on your iPhone. Although a cat is the default animal present, you can choose a dog too. Additionally, the premium version of the app must be unlocked to use other animals, such as a fox and an axolotl.

By the way, the animals on the island don’t just sit around. They will move around, sit, and even sleep while you use the app, with a floating ‘Zzz’ to indicate that they are asleep. It’s a fun way to use the island that doesn’t even compromise the otherwise perfect app experience.

Calling Apps

Your iPhone will now display an incoming call along with controls for accepting or rejecting it in the dynamic island. The iPhone 14 Pro now displays the island’s progress counter while you’re on a call.

The incoming and outgoing audio waveforms can be seen here as well. It’s interesting to note that while the waveform of the incoming audio is green, the waveform of your speech is yellow/orange. The same feature is supported by all third-party calling apps, which include: WhatsApp, Google Duo, Skype.

Most of the popular music and podcasting apps show up on Dynamic Island. You will be able to see a cover image (album art) for the music that’s playing, as well as a waveform. Additionally, if you connect your iPhone to a HomePod or similar device, the waveform will be replaced by the HomePod or Apple TV icon.

The third-party music and podcasting apps that function well with Dynamic Island are: Spotify, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Amazon Audible for audiobooks, Soundcloud, Pandora, NPR One

Flighty

Flighty is the premium flight tracker for travellers, featuring an elegant design and plenty of power. It helps to predict the delays of the flight and mentions the gate number that you will use to board your flight. It helps to push notifications fast.

The pill also functions with Google Maps. Dynamic Island is currently unable to display navigational instructions or distance. It merely displays a navigation icon in its place. Hopefully, Google will address this in a later update.

Conclusion

These are some of the few third party apps that are using Dynamic Island. However, we expect a huge number of well-known apps to take advantage of the Dynamic Island cutout feature in the coming months so that there’s a lot of scope for fun and games.

Movies and Sports are the two biggest forms of entertainment not just in India but the entire world- so much so that they’re both revered as much as religious deities from all faiths- and the proof is there for all to see where celebrities from both fields are worshipped and adored as if they’re gods incarnated in human form.

Speaking of sports, there are many that merit a discussion of their own with Football, Baseball, and Basketball in the western world, and cricket in other countries have massive fan followings that has to be seen to be believed.

In Brief

One of the most popular sports games in existence is the Fifa World Cup that has seen many versions and incarnations. Its popularity is one that has completely withstood the test of time and continues to grow with each new version that comes out.

Fifa 23 has come out with its own soundtrack as EA sports, in a recent interview, revealed the complete playlist for the new football simulation venture that has taken over the fancy of many youngsters, including old school FIFA aficionados.

Now they can listen and sway to the catchy tunes at least 109 times with each new song being peppier than the other. FIFA 23 has a massive following in India as well but the problem is that while the soundtrack is available on Spotify, it features only 95 songs while others have been edited out citing regional restrictions.

The remaining ones are available on YouTube Music and EA Sports has listed out the soundtracks on its official Twitter handle. Like all its previous versions, the soundtrack for FIFA 23 will be divided into two halves as the first 57 songs will be a blended cocktail of genres.

They include electronic, jazz, rap, deep house, among others but will be there for general games and certain instances like navigating the menu and training sessions while the remaining 52 tracks are allocated to the Volte Segment of FIFA 23, which is more suited for hip hop culture.

EA Sports has left no stone unturned to make this endeavor a success as they’ve signed A-list footballers for their ads along with American rappers like Jack Harlow, Denzel Curry, Gorillaz, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Nas, Labirinth, among many others.

In a recent development, EA Sports had a crossover with Apple TV+ where it confirmed that Ted Lasso too will be a part of FIFA 23, the character of which will be portrayed by Jason Sudeikis who will be selecting the Career Mode of the venture.

Conclusion

FIFA 23 will be available to the general public from September 30, 2022, on various platforms like Xbox One, PC, PS4 & PS5, Xbox Series E/X, along with a few others. However, if you’ve subscribed to EA Play Pro and purchased Ultimate Edition then you can get an early access of three days and play it on September 27 itself.
