iPhone 13

iPHONE 13 PAVING WAY FOR INTEGRATED PASSIVE DEVICES (IPD’S):

Apple gave an update to the public and media of soon launching their new product, iPhone13 in the market. They also said that there will be a big surprise for everyone because the iPhone13 will be a next-level iPhone till date.

Apple revealed that IPhone13 will have a 120Hz LTPO display on both the Pro models with the improved battery life. Though battery life has been improved from iPhone X but IPhone13 has been summed up version. This will give out better results than other models and thanks to the efficient 5G modem. They also revealed that they have focused on camera also and also launched a new mode i.e. Video Portrait Mode. IPhone13 will be a device with a notch that is shrunk. There are rumors spread that at least one version of the new iPhone may come with a port less design. So we might see a display gracing the iPhone

Latest updates given by Apple till 1st August:

  • The supplier of iPhone13 chips TSMC was effected by gas contamination. However, it doesn’t seem that there will be any delay or it has affected Apple’s Production timeline.
  • A report said that Apple has ordered more than 100 million of A15 bionic chips for iPhone13
  • Apple may offer fast 2–watt charging, which will compete with Samsung Galaxy S21 series.

IPhone13 release date and Price:

Due to coronavirus the launch of iPhone12 was delayed, but this time the release date is expected in September. Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claims that the iPhone13 will be launched at the normal schedule i.e. September.

The supplier of A15 bionic chips for iPhone13 i.e. TSMC has been hit by gas contamination in July according to Nikkei Asia. But it doesn’t seem that this has impacted the release date of iPhone13 based on the report.

In 2020, Apple warned that the launch date of the IiPhone12 will not be in September. But in 2021 Apple announced earnings for its June quarter, they didn’t wait for anything and announced to launch iPhone13. Apple did call some shortage issues, but it hasn’t affected the release dates of iPhone13.

          If Apple releases iPhone13 according to the schedule, then we can see iPhone13 on the fourth Friday of September. According to the calendar, the date on the fourth Friday of September is September 24.

iPhone13 price:

Till now there is an approximate idea that, iPhone 13 will cost around $699, $799, $999 and $1099, respectively. Apple tends to keep the price of each model relatively close to the preceding model

A report by TrendForce said that iPhone13 should be relatively on par with the current iPhone13 models. TrendForce also said that the iPhone13 Pro models won’t have a 1TB storage option.

There are rumors also spread that the size of iPhone13 will be the same as iPhone12: 5.4 –inch iPhone13 mini, a 6.1 –inch iPhone13, a 6.1 inch iPhone13 Pro and a 6.7 –inch iphone13 Pro Max.

As of now the sale of the iPhone12 Mini has not been so tremendous as compared to other models iPhone12. Reports claims that Apple is still launching the iPhone13 mini. Let’s assume that there will be four models that will be launching in September and these will be in the iPhone13 family. A 5G iPhoneSE is not expected to be launched until next year. But iPhone Flip may be launched within the next two years.

iPhone13 name:

Earlier rumors pointed Apple will give a certain name to iPhone13 series, since Apple went from iPhone11 to iPhone12 last year. There are rumors spread that Apple will be launching the iPhone13 series as iPhone 12s.

However, till the release we are not sure about what will be the name. A new report claims that Apple will be sticking to the name of iPhone13. According to the report in the Economic Daily News, the iPhone13 will be the mirror of the iPhone12 on the basis of design and name.

iPhone 13 design:

A set of iPhone13 dummy units have gotten the hands-on treatment by Apple insider. Some of the biggest inbuilt changes such as of speaker that will be placed on the top of the device. There is a new diagonal arrangement for regular iPhone13 and a larger camera module for iPhone13 Pro.

The SIM card slot will move down the device and the positions of the power button, will also be moved down a little bit.

iPhone13 Pro Max could be slightly larger than its predecessor. There is also a variety of information that has been leaked that the iPhone13 will come with a smaller notch compared to the notches that were in the iPhone12 series, the notch with processor series is somewhere bulky.

Apple will design this type of notch by downsizing on the new iPhone by combining the separated infrared flood illuminator, sensor and dot projector, which is the same as the iPhone12’s face ID unlocking system. In iPhone13 we can see two new sensors and a narrower notch on top of the screen.

Digitimes’ report:

Digitimes has given a separate report that the die size of the VCSEL chips that are used in the face ID unlocking system is shrunk by 40 to 50% which means that the iPhone13 will come up with the smaller notch

The earpiece speaker would no longer be housed in the notch but it is placed on the top bezel. The dummy of iPhone13 Pro max dummy gave an idea that itx could be slightly thicker than iPhone12 pro max

A rumor that was spread out was that iPhone13 would be getting an under-display Touch ID because from last year it is necessary to wear a mask and some people remove their mask to unlock their iPhone so to avoid this, touch ID can be placed under the display.

iPhone13 colors:

The rumors spread about iPhone13 colors that there are four color options for-black, silver, rose gold and sunset gold.

iPhone13 specs:

The chip might be upgraded as in iPhone12 A14 bionic chip was used. But the reports said that in iPhone13 A15 bionic chip can be used which is a powerful chip than the A14 chip.

A report came out that Apple has ordered up to 100 million A15 chips which mean Apple is expecting more high demand for iPhone13 than iPhone12.

In storage, the iPhone13 can go up from 64 GB to 512GB, though a new analyst report said that the iPhone13 can get up to 1TB of storage. This is the highest storage that any iPhone will have till now.

iPhone13 cameras:

The reports suggested that iPhone13 Pro and iPhone13 Pro Max will be offered with six new ultra-wide lenses. iPhone 12 Pro models sport a 5 element ultra wide-angle lens. It’s a rule that the more elements in a lens, the better the quality of the image.

Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo also claims that the iPhone13 series will offer ultra-wide autofocus which will give more sharp image.  Analyst Ross Young had predicted that Apple phones will come with large sensors for starters. Larger sensors mean more light intake by the sensors and camera. This will help to boost the quality of low light pictures

iPhone13 battery and Charging:

The iPhone12 models do not have a good battery life test. But iPhone12 pro max has impressed with its large battery. Mingh Chi Kuo said about the so-called soft battery technology in iPhone 13 that the new iPhones can offer increased battery capacity without growing the design footprint.

The iPhone13 pro max has gained an 18% increase from 3,687 Mah to 4,352 mAH. The iPhone12 maxes out at 20w charging, but Apple is offering 25w charging this year. The iPhone13 could offer reverse wireless charging which means the iPhone can now charge Airpods and Apple Watch.

iPhone13 and iOS 15:

The top iOS 15 features include updates to FaceTime that will allow you to watch videos and share content. Also, a new Focus mode for managing notifications, and improvements in maps, messages, wallet, weather and other in-built apps.

IPhone 13 may come up with the feature hidden in iOS 1t. The key feature is that the iPhone 13 could understand and learn the predictive charging notifications. This system would learn your phone usage and charging habits, much like Optimized Charging does already. However, it will warn you that when you have to charge your device when you’re at a suitable place.

Pakistan Occupied Kashmir

A strong determination for creating New Face of India by the 75th year of Independence in 2022. India’s 74th year of Independence showcases, how India has progressed in military, space, education and health. Respecting the collaborative efforts during the epidemic by frontliners and cross border issue management. Commemorating 50 years of Indian Armed Forces victory over Pakistan in 1971. India has also taken over the UNSC presidency for the month of August 2021.

Further, India’s envoy to United Nations Tirumurti said, “Jammu and Kashmir is an integral and inalienable part of India. If there needs to be a change in status, it is the vacation of Pakistan occupied Kashmir” while responding to a journalist who asked about the abrogation of the special status of Jammu and Kashmir at a press conference.

Brief Background:

Pakistan occupied Kashmir is part of Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan hence an integral part of India. It has been illegitimately under the control of Pakistan since 22 October, 1947. Tribal lashkars supported by Pakistan had invaded the then princely state of J&K. After which the ruler of the Jammu and Kashmir state acceded to India by signing –

Instrument Of Accession according to which the Dominion Legislature was to make laws only in regards with DEFENCE, EXTERNAL AFFAIRS, COMMUNICATION, ANCILLARY. The External Affairs included the implementations of treaties and agreements with other countries, extradition and surrendering of criminals to the then His Majesty outside India.

Pakistan’s Argument on Pakistan Occupied Kashmir– Pakistani argue that the people of “Northern Area’s” now called “Gilgit-Baltistan” revolted against the then Maharaja Hari Singh of Kashmir on the eve of lapse of British paramountcy in 1947 and willingly joined Pakistan.

On contrary, the popular perception is Gilgit- Baltistan’s annexation was forceful and the consent of people never sought.

UN’s Role – An Unfair Play:

Toput an end to external aggression and armed confrontation India with the hope of a fair and legitimate solution. The issue referred to the United Nation. The UN Security Council major powers equated the aggressor state of Pakistan with the victim state of Jammu and Kashmir. In other attempts, India’s viewpoint clearly disregarded.

A separate constitution and no constitution-

The 45 years of the Cold War and India’s decision of not to be a part of any bloc instead led to the creation of NAM (Non-Aligned Movement) paves an independent path for a long colonised nation. This also frustrated the western nation, joined by Pakistan. The UN security decision seemed to be a deliberate attempt to disregard India’s legitimate position in Kashmir.

In September 1951, the people of J&K elected a Constituent Assembly (members were elected unopposed). It went on to ratify accession of the state to India on February 15, 1954. Finally, led to the assembly drafting a constitution for the state, adopted on November 17, 1956. It came into force subsequently on January 26, 1957. India held it’s free, fair, democratic, and legitimate, and regarded the UN resolutions (related to troops pull out and holding of the plebiscite) as irrelevant and inoperative. This is in view of the prolonged Pakistani non-compliance of the UN resolutions.

For 73 years Gilgit- Baltistan has struggled to get human and civil rights.  It has no constitution unlike Pakistan and administration works according to the Gilgit-Baltistan Order of 2018. This is an executive fiat by Islamabad.

Importance of POK carries factors:

1 Location -Strategic importance shares borders with several countries. Carries a strong geopolitical significance since the Karakoram Highway (KKH) built to connect Pakistan with China via PoK. It’s a gateway to Central Asian republics and to their expanding markets.

According to Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses, “access to Afghanistan via the Wakhan Corridor bordering PoK would have given the allied forces a viable option for transporting supplies for NATO forces”

2 Infrastructure development is again very strategic on which China eyes over, apart from its enhanced presence it’s also coming under the influence of Jihad ideology. The resources are rich and exploited by Pakistan recklessly.

3 Socio-Economic situation- After the 2005 earthquake, the ground reality of missing basic amenities was observed by the NGO’s. Even International donors noticed it. The missing apathy of Pakistan came as a rude shock to outsiders. This suggests India an option of policy creation in the Pakistan Occupied Kashmir.

Current Situation Gilgit Baltistan:

Till 1999 – the Northern area continued to be governed as a colony of Pakistan. Later in 2009 ‘Northern Areas’ renamed ‘Gilgit-Baltistan’ under the Gilgit-Baltistan Empowerment and Self Governance Order of August 2009. This provided an electoral framework and limited authority.

Gross irregularities reported by International NGOs in regard to the electoral process. Small training camps are set by China to train Pakistan soldiers, given for 45 days.

Currently the region Gilgit- Baltistan demanded status of provincial region. Pushing for a constitutional amendment and to conduct election strongly opposed by India. All this comes after India’s strong move of abrogation of Article 370. If the Provincial status is provided, then Pakistan’s constitutional rights will be applicable. Along with representation in the upper and lower house of Pakistan’s assembly will be provided.

Response:

Recently, we have seen how the grouping of China- Pakistan is strengthening. Whilst Pakistan is also under pressure in regards to or not support the USA as the Taliban takes over Afghanistan.

India’s UNSC presidency is an influential position- Key issues listed by T.S Tirumurti on priority are Maritime Security, Peacekeeping, Counterterrorism.

The status quo that has taken U-turn in BJP’s regime in the matter of J&K. Vocalising the legitimate right on Pakistan Occupied Kashmir doesn’t look unattainable. The situation in Gilgit Baltistan is unwanted by the people. It’s a far-reaching and geographically distant area from India. China’s presence is turning it into an investment area overlooking the welfare of the people. “Gwadar port will receive $793 million under CPEC, the bulk of Chinese investment will take place in G-B ($ 16.129 billion) and PoK ($5.946 billion). Pakistan proposes to build five dams in G-B as part of the “Indus cascade” opines DP Srivastava (retired diplomat) and the author of Forgotten Kashmir in Hindustan times.

e-RUPI digital payment solution launched by PM Narendra Modi.

Right before PM Narendra Modi had launched E-RUPI, there were speculations in the market. Some felt he is going to launch RBI backed digital currency in competition with the existing cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum. Defying all speculations, PM on August 2 at 4:30 pm instead launched a new digital payment mode based on e-vouchers. The E-RUPI is a digital voucher aimed to make payments seamlessly without digital payments apps or internet. If E-RUPI is different from cryptocurrencies, then what is it? Let’s know.

What is E-RUPI?

According to the official website of National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), E-RUPI created by NPCI in association with Department of Financial Services (DFS), National Health Authority (NHA), Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) and partner banks.

The payments under this technology done with the help of SMS string and QR Codes. This is unlike the conventional cash transactions. Axis Bank, Bank of Baroda, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, PNB and SBI have partnered with NPCI to approve transactions. This technology is based on similar to Blockchain, which also aims to make payments reach end-user in a leak-proof method. This method is relatively safe, secure and faster than other digital payment modes. The e-voucher being non-transferable and having monetary value being already in it, make it trustable even for noobs in the fintech world.

The PM’s statement in the e-launch event:

PM said that ”E-RUPI voucher is going to play a huge role in making Direct Bank Transfer (DBT) scheme more effective in digital transactions in the country”. Further, he said that this scheme is being first rolled out in the health care services. This pre- destination of money makes sure that it moves towards correct purposes. Promised pre to the donation. However, if the private sector wants to sponsor/fund welfare schemes in the education and health sector, then they can take benefits of this newly developed e-voucher payment method.

Difference of E-RUPI with Cryptocurrencies:

The E-RUPI-made on the existing UPI platform. It is based on digital infrastructure with no cash transactions makes people speculate that it’s a sort of cryptocurrency. Straight answer is NO. Though these both (E-RUPI and Cryptocurrencies) are contactless, digital payments. Yet the major thing which distinguish them is that E-RUPI is government approved and under their control. Also, unlike cryptos, there is no fluctuations in the price of E-RUPI. Many cryptocurrency investors have welcomed this move of the government stating that it will help in facilitating the acceptance of digital currency in the country.

Private school fees

Covid-19 has had caused nationwide lockdown, which has been extending since the last one and a half years. It resulted in shutting down of every school and college for the sake of protection. However, confronting everything for such a long time, things turn out to be new normal. Hoping to carry everything in the right way, education sector saw a drastic change. It majorly transformed from learning to e-learning. As the school and colleges are closed teaching is online. However, the only thing that is constant is the students’ fees. Do you think it is right in the time of this crisis where everyone is experiencing economic losses?

The University says:

Well-known University of Delhi is close for the last one and a half year for any kind of physical access. Everything had been running online. The University Grant Commission (UGC) announced to permanently make the major part of academic exercise digital. Still several students coming from a marginalised background who don’t have access to the new practices. They raise their voice against it but the authorities have been ambivalently about it.

Others concerned:

However, a University doesn’t only consist of students. There are professors, non-teaching staff, workers, and organization teams. All those associated with schools and Universities are to paid for their work. However, their efforts make to build the organization are appreciable but would it be fair to reduce their payment? All the staff, workers, organization heads are being paid by the fees. Hence, not charging any fees will potentially affect their payment. Consequently, this will hinder the functioning of the   system and all involved will be unsatisfied. As not paying individuals for the hard work that perform will also not be in good taste.

AISA:

AISA has also highlighted this issue through a Facebook post. The University of Delhi has been shut for the last one and a half years. By this time any kind of physical access has not been provided by them. They have faced a new dimension of online teaching and learning. They call it the new normal of education. 

The process of online learning continues, but the students are charged full fees of the college. They are not receiving any resources from the college. The libraries are closed, the physical classes have stopped. Also the digital classes are inaccessible because of network issues and gadgets, thus the classes have become irregular. AISA believes that charging full fees for the students is unfair as many of the student’s families have lost their jobs because of this they are under the burden of paying fees.

“AISA brings to you this survey to put forward to the University authorities. We seek to underline the conditions of the students and build a movement against the collection of fees in the University, demanding refund of previously paid fees” they added in the post.

They even released a Google form to let the community come forward and stand in support this. AISA had released a survey to look through this issue more clearly and put this forward to the university authorities. So that they could build a movement against the collection of fees in the University.

Asia must “buckle to battle” the possibility of a Third Covid-19 wave

Asia must “buckle to battle” or COVID-19

The rise of COVID-19 cases with regards to the waves visibly seen varying from state to state in India. Amidst extended lockdowns to slow the transmission, Jammu state has seen the surge of the second wave. While, the cases in Kerala are now on the rise. The fear and anxiety with emergence of third wave of COVID-19 sweeping across Germany to Canada. Rise in Kerala Cases can be early signs of India being in Deep Waters again.

ASIAN’S NATION’S COVID-19 CASES ON RISE

Kerala has higher number of districts with positivity rate approximately 13.6%, half of the total caseloads in the country. Malappuram amongst other 13 districts is with 27,335 active cases contributing the most to the state’s active caseload. Moreover, the other Southern Nations, Indonesia’s positivity rate is close to that of India’s state of Kerala at 13.7%. According to seven days rolling average, there is a steep rise in Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia. Thus, raising certain concerns and important questions.

COVID-19 appropriate behaviour concerns:

           1 Regular health check-ups

           2 Isolation of infected people to control the spread

           3 Double masking

           4 Widespread Public awareness

           5 Social Distancing

          6 Washing Hands Regularly

Internationally, the COVID-19 appropriate behaviour followed when the cases are on the rise. Amidst Virus spread, we also witnessed rally’s; protests held globally.

After warnings from the government banning mass gatherings on Eid al-Adha. Muslim populated country Indonesia seems to replace India as Asia’s COVID-19 hot spot. Bangladesh paused its lockdown and people went shopping and travelling the positivity rate was touching 29% from 3%. India’s North-eastern states Meghalaya, Assam, Tripura, Mizoram, and West Bengal bordering Bangladesh also highly affected by the virus spread. This sums up why appropriate behaviour should followed strictly. A need to understand why citizens tend to take emerging variants lightly and time to time reminders and strictness should follow.

Sluggish Vaccination process:

   1. Kerala: 39.90% of the population vaccinated. 38 per cent of the adult population has received at least one dose of vaccine. Kerala Model known for excellence in public health is being questioned the COVID19 surge handling.

“The present circumstance is that we are facing an acute shortage of the jab. That is the truth” news agency PTI quoted the chief minister.

Majority of the population aged 18-44 has not received the vaccination. Thus, flags acute shortage of vaccine supply. Kerala health care is also fighting the Zika virus.

2. Indonesia’s vaccine rate with 1 dose is 15% fully vaccinated. Not fully 10% which tells us that the slow vaccination rate and the surge of Delta variant is a concern.

UN Secretary General argues ”there is lack of Global Solidarity”. Also adding that only 1.1% of low-income countries received the first dose of vaccine. Making it evidently clear a need to push for equitable access to vaccines.

PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE

Apart from developing health infrastructures, providing vaccines as grants and supplies, the testing (RT-PCR) must increase to keep a check on the “R” Reproductive Rate. It’s the basic reproduction ratio or rate or the basic reproductive rate, is an epidemiologic metric to describe the contagiousness or transmissibility of infectious agents. Greater R level means that the disease will grow fast wherein R level lower than 1 will subsequently die out.

Further, Kerala’s R level is hovering around 1, which means one patient is affecting one other person at least currently. The R value in India is currently below 1. Hence, they need to sort to lockdowns to make sure transmissibility rates stay lower.

The R value of Covid in Indonesia has been between 1.2- 1.4 during second wave outbreak. Indonesia is strictly implementing PPKM level 4 alongside accessing its vaccination drive.

The Implementation:

The implementation of level 4 and level 3 PPKM (PUBLIC ACTIVITY RESTRICTION) assessed based on three main factors. Namely the indicator of transmission rate and the response of the health system based on the WHO guidelines. The third indicator is the socio-economic condition of the community,” Pandjaitan told a virtual press conference.

Vaccine development goes through several phases and years process before its ready to for public use. Government, Private Firms, Multilateral organisations- the agents involved in the making of the vaccine. International efforts like COVAX– A Vaccine pillar of the Access to COVID-19 Tools (ACT) Accelerator.

Dozens of vaccines approved for emergency usage globally. Apart from slow vaccine process demand due to vaccination myth’s, we comprehend that uneven rollout of vaccines is a concern. Not every country has the capacity to produce and supply vaccines. The lower income countries must be kept in mind while fighting the way out of this epidemic. The severity of diseases can be controlled with a strong and fast pace of vaccination process and delivery.

“The efforts like testing, social distancing, cough etiquette, isolation if facing any symptom, most importantly it has to be the awareness campaigns, hygiene” the World Health Organization (WHO) regional director strongly advices.
