  • Apple Doubles iPhone Production In India Diversifying From China: Report |

    New Delhi: Apple assembled USD 14 billion worth of iPhones in India last financial year, doubling production in the country in what could be seen as a diversification in manufacturing beyond China, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday.

    The Bloomberg news report quoted people familiar with the matter, declining to be named as the information isn’t public, saying that the US tech giant now makes as much as 14 per cent or about one in seven of its devices from India.

    The ramp-up in production suggests Apple is accelerating efforts to cut its longstanding reliance on China as geopolitical tensions mount, as per the report. Manufacturing in India has lately taken pick up after the government production-linked incentives for over a dozen key sectors.

    In 2017, Apple started manufacturing iPhones in India. The Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme by the Central government is also likely to have attracted several gadget makers, including Apple, to set shop in the country.

    iPhone manufacturing in India was practically negligible 10 years ago. Apple is now manufacturing its latest iPhone versions in India.

    The central government offers a production-linked incentive (PLI) to boost domestic manufacturing and attract significant investments in mobile phone manufacturing and specified electronic components, including Assembly, Testing, Marking and Packaging (ATMP) units. 

    The Scheme is expected to tremendously boost the electronics manufacturing landscape and establish India at the global level in the electronics sector. 

    The government had launched PLI schemes in 14 sectors which will make Indian manufacturers globally competitive, attract investments, enhance exports, integrate India into the global supply chain and reduce dependency on imports.

  • Running Out Of Storage On Your iPhone? Check THESE Trips And Tricks |

    New Delhi: If you own an older iPhone, especially one with just 64GB of storage, you’ve likely encountered the frustration of running out of space. This can be particularly inconvenient when you’re trying to capture new photos or videos while you’re out and about. Fear not, though – there are easy ways to free up space directly on your iPhone without the need for a computer.

    Let’s explore some simple solutions to ensure you never miss a photo-worthy moment.

    Subscribe To Apple iCloud

    One effective way to clear up local storage on your iPhone is by subscribing to Apple iCloud. Navigate to iCloud Settings, tap on Photos, and select “Optimize iPhone Storage.” This smart move not only frees up space but also ensures your precious memories are safely stored in the cloud.

    Offload Unused Apps

    If there are apps on your iPhone that haven’t seen the light of day in months, it’s time to offload them. Head to iPhone Settings, go to General, tap on iPhone Storage, and select “Offload Unused Apps.” This nifty feature helps you declutter without losing essential data.

    Review Large Attachments

    Your iPhone allows you to review and delete large attachments such as photos, videos, and documents. Simply go to iPhone Settings, choose General, tap on iPhone Storage, and identify and remove those hefty attachments that are hogging space.

    Tackle Bulky Videos

    Videos, especially high-resolution ones like 4K or ProRes, can eat up significant storage. Identify old videos that are no longer needed – perhaps that Instagram post from ages ago – and delete them to make room for new memories.

    Can’t Find Enough Space? Consider a Fresh Start with Cloud Backups

    If, despite your efforts, you still can’t find the space you need, consider starting anew. Back up your data to a cloud service, giving you the freedom to delete unnecessary files and apps without losing anything important.
