Apple’s New iPhone 5 will Come to India on Oct 26

Published

on

The new Apple iPhone 5 will hit Indian markets on October 26, as revealed at the Apple service centres by a reliable source. The source also reported that the 32 GB model will be priced Rs 50,000 and the 16 GB model will have a price tag of approximately Rs 45,000.

There was no clear information from the source about the 64 GB model, but it may cost around Rs 56,000. Apple will release the new iPhone 5 on its own in India instead of trusting its carrier partners. There is no information about the exact number of units that will be released initially as Apple is facing supply limitation globally.

We hope that the new iPhone will be available in more markets unlike the previous models, which were not available everywhere.

The new faster, thinner and lighter iPhone 5 was announced last month by Apple. The new smartphone has a 4 inch IPS Retina screen with a resolution of 1136 x 640 pixels. It is packed with Apple 1GHz dual-core A6 chip, triple core graphics and runs on iOS 6.

The new iPhone sports completely new design with an aluminium-made back panel and the top and bottom of the panel has glass strips. It also supports LTE networks for selected markets, but Indian market will not be among them.

The new iPhone comes with an 8 megapixel camera with 5 element glass comprising of a hybrid IR filter and Sapphire lens cover with a panorama mode and a dynamic low-light mode. A front facing camera, which can indulge 720p HD worktime videos, is also featured in the smartphone.

Due to the fluctuations in the Dollar rate, the price of the new iPhone 5 is still a mystery. It is likely to be priced closer to the price of iPhone 4S. The estimated price of the new iPhone is to start around Rs 48,000.

Network operators in India started keeping the nano SIM cards stock for sale. Sashi Shankar, Chief Marketing Officer, Idea Cellular said two weeks before that the company has kept a stock of nano SIM cards and is eagerly waiting for the official announcement of the new iPhone 5.

We are hoping that the new smartphone will gain some good response from the Indian customers initially. We will also see how the smartphone gets along with the Galaxy S III smartphone’s quad core processor.

Eros International (NYSE:EROS) is up 5.8% today, making up the last week’s lost ground, after news that its streaming service Eros Now is partnering with Sony India (SNE +2.3%).

That will mean Eros Now’s app is pre-installed on selected Sony smart televisions in India, along with availability on a large base of existing models (Bravia E series and newer).

The country over the past year has seen a 25% growth in demand for smart TVs, fueled by overall industry growth of 15%, to a record 15M units/year.

Tesla, Inc. (TSLA): US agencies investigate fatal Tesla Model 3 crash in Florida

Published

on

American safety officials are looking into the circumstances surrounding another fatal Tesla, Inc. (TSLA) crash. Both the NTSB and the NHTSA have confirmed that they’re investigating a collision between a Model 3 and a semi truck in Delray Beach, Florida on March 1st. According to the police report, the truck was turning left to enter a main thoroughfare when the Model 3 crashed into the semi’s trailer, shearing off the car’s roof and killing the driver. It’s not certain if Autopilot was active, although the Model 3 kept traveling for more than 500 yards before coming to a stop.

Why ASDN Could Massively Outperform TSLA in 2019

Tesla said in a statement that it was “deeply saddened” about the collision and was “reaching out” to authorities to cooperate. The NTSB added that it typically takes one to two years to complete investigations like this.

This certainly isn’t the first time US safety agencies have investigated Tesla crashes to determine the possible role of Autopilot. However, there are unusually close parallels to a deadly incident from May 2016, when a Model S driver in Florida struck a trailer. His vehicle had Autopilot engaged and also kept going a significant distance after the crash, although investigators cleared Tesla and noted that the driver in that case ignored safety warnings. While the particular circumstances are different, it wouldn’t be out of the question for agents to compare the two cases.
