Apple reportedly plans to start producing iPhones in India by end of April

Apple’s talks with India seems to have headed into a good direction. There are reports that the nation will be producing iPhones in its country starting the end of April 2017. According to Priyank Kharge, information technology minister for the Indian state of Karanataka, the devices will be made in Bangalore and will be targeted at India’s domestic market. In an interview with Bloomberg, Kharge said they didn’t discuss any other incentives for Apple during his meeting back in January with Apple executives. It was reported that this meeting was meant to cement the timeline for production to start.

Apple’s move into India, which is considered the fastest-growing major smartphone market in the world, comes at a time when iPhone sales have been slowing down in key markets such as China. The tech giant has reportedly given a “wish list” to India for working in its country. These supposedly included permanent relaxation of laws requiring foreign retailers to source 30 percent of their materials locally as well as so tax incentives. Apple hasn’t confirmed this production plan yet. But we should probably here something soon enough.

iPhone 7 rumoured to have a larger battery than the iPhone 6s

It’s natural to assume that when a tech company updates its devices, everything gets an upgrade. But that isn’t exactly the case with Apple and its iPhones. When the iPhone 6 came out, it had a 1,810mAh battery pack. Following that, the iPhone 6s got only 1,715mAh. But a new rumour from OnLeaks’ source claims at least the upcoming Apple flagship won’t have it any worse than that and it’ll have 1,960mAh battery. However, we don’t know if this will improve battery life since we don’t know how the performance of the new device will be and if it’ll need more power to support its performance. For now, this is also just a rumour so we’d have to take it with a grain of salt.

I've compiled some of the best photos of the new iPhone 6's taken during the launch event and demo area. While the photos really don't do the new phones much justice as the way they feel is just as important as the way they look. Still, here are some shots of the biggest and most powerful iPhones ever.
