1+ day, 4+ hour ago (240+ words) Updated - November 24, 2025 11:34 am IST India's electronics retailer Croma has kicked off its annual Black Friday sale, running from November 22 to November 30, and one offer in particular has taken social media by storm: the sharp price drop on Apple's iPhone Air. The 256 GB model, which launched at a significantly higher price point, is now being sold at a discount, with additional bank offers. But the viral buzz around the deal stands in stark contrast to the device's lukewarm sales performance in recent weeks. But the very design that sets it apart also contributes to its shortcomings. The ultra-slim frame means the iPhone Air carries a smaller battery, leading to concerns about day-long usability, especially for heavy users. Its single-camera setup, while capable, lacks the versatility found in competing phones that offer multi-lens systems " a key expectation in this price segment. These…...

2+ day, 11+ hour ago (190+ words) Did you know that October 13 to 19 is celebrated as World Cassette Week? The celebration, organised by the online store Tape Head City in the U.S., features exclusive tape releases. Most online streaming services provide compressed audio, typically ranging from 64 kbps to 320 kbps, with many platforms defaulting to 96 kbps or 128 kbps. In other words, streaming often discards subtle sonic details. In contrast, cassette tapes were recorded on reels which provides analogue sound. Though cassettes may seem inferior owing to tape hiss, Dolby NR, a noise reduction technology, significantly reduces this, and a listener may not notice hiss at all when the tape head is clean and the volume is high. Cassettes are known for delivering rich, warm, and deep audio. Additionally, while albums on streaming platforms can be removed when rights expire or popularity declines, cassettes protect music from third-party control once…...

Foxconn has seen profits soar as it shifts focus from low-margin iPhone assembly to artificial intelligence servers that are now in huge demand as firms plough hundreds of billions of dollars into the technology.
