The reason why Apple was putting services under the spotlight was that its traditional cash cow, i.e., the iPhone, had witnessed marginal growth in Q1 2016 and had actually declined in Q2 this year. But apart from highlighting services, Apple has been taking steps to transform itself into a services company truly. Some of those steps we’ll discuss in this article. 1. iPhone Upgrade Program Although a lot of people feel buying an iPhone is a one-time purchase, it’s a recurring activity in most countries where the iPhone is popular....

Didi Chuxing is also expected to make an investment of $1 billion in Uber at a valuation of $68 billion.

To help better understand Tor, let’s look at the protocol, its working and why you should use it. What is Tor? Tor or The Onion Router is a network that comprises a group of volunteer-operated servers aimed towards providing complete anonymity to users by enhancing their privacy and security on the internet. The online traffic redirects through a relay network (kind of a virtual tunnel) consisting of more than seven thousand relays to transfer information over public networks without compromising on privacy and security....

The design of the characters is such that one gets fooled into thinking it is animation. This was achieved using special material wrinkle free cloth which made the body suites look smooth (like in animation) and the ads were shot at slower than normal frame rate so that the movements look swift but funny....

Plastic can look…well, different (and even “fantastic!”) And well, fans are definitely going to like the slightly different look and feel of the Galaxy S20 FE. The front is obviously a Super AMOLED 6.5-inch Infinity O display with a punch-hole notch in the center, but it is the back that is going to catch attention. Yes, the camera arrangement is the now-standard sensors arranged in a rectangular unit on the top left section (and it juts out in a manner that worries us), but it is the colors that will make the phone stand out....

That camera bump…is not just a camera bump And ah, that brings us to perhaps the most striking non-spec aspect of the phone – its design. We have been getting used to camera bumps on phones in recent times. But if other phones had bumps, the Mi 11 Ultra has a speed breaker. The camera unit on the back is literally like a black slab placed on a ceramic floor (yes, the back is ceramic – no glass, glastic, or carbonate for this flagship)....

When I first held the new Mi Mix 2S, I was rather disappointed. Two of my biggest pet peeves with Xiaomi’s Mi Mix series are still there — the awkwardly placed selfie camera on the chin and a greasy, slippery back that demands a case. The Mi Mix 2S lives up to its ‘S’ moniker and hence, doesn’t feature any radical changes from the outside, at least. There is one significant alteration, though....
