iPhone 18 Pro Fever: Delhi Man Sold Gold to Buy New Apple Phone for Wife, Remark Goes Viral as Buyers Queue Up

Gargi Chaudhry — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 12:11:32 +0530

The iPhone 18 Pro is now on sale in India. The excitement was real, as it is every year. People couldn't wait to get their hands on the newest iPhones, so there were long lines outside the stores before they even opened. India Today Tech went to the Noida Apple Store to talk to some customers. One of them said he had sold gold to get his wife an iPhone 18 Pro.

There was a long line outside the DLF Mall of India before the Apple Store opened at 8 a.m. Indian man at the front of the queue talked to us. He chose an iPhone 18 Pro to give to his wife. He said, "I am buying the iPhone 18 Pro for my wife." He said that his wife had told him to get the burgundy iPhone 18 Pro.

According to media reports, he went on to explain that he wanted to gift his wife this update because she didn't use an iPhone. "Aaj paisa hai, pehle nahi tha, aage hoga nahi hoga, bas aaj main jee rahe hai (at that time, I didn't have that money, now I do, In the coming time, whether we will have money or not, we'll see.)" was his response when asked why he specifically waited for the iPhone 18 Pro.

However, the Delhi guy acknowledged that he had really sold gold in order to make this transaction. "Gold bechke he toh ye lene aaye hai." (I purchased the iPhone 18 Pro by selling gold.)

The queues outside the Noida Apple Store included students, businesspersons and employees. Some customers reportedly took leave from work to be among the early buyers. However, not everyone waiting outside could purchase the device. Customers who had not pre-ordered the iPhone 18 Pro were reportedly not allowed to enter the store to make a purchase.

iPhone 18 Pro Face ID Issue: Apple users face freezing and random reboots

Richa Barua — Tue, 22 Sep 2026 13:45:40 +0530

iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max users have a new headache. Some users complain that the phone freezes when they try to use Face ID. The device then reboots on its own and goes back to the lock screen. This issue does not affect everyone right now. But people have reported several bugs related to Face ID.

Phone hangs during Face ID use

Reports say users face this main problem when they use Face ID to open apps. The iPhone stops responding during the face recognition process. It then restarts automatically. Users say the phone lands back on the lock screen after the reboot. A Reddit user shared this exact experience, according to a MacRumors report. Business Today notes that 9to5Mac first highlighted this post.

'Face ID not available' warning

Similar complaints have popped up on the MacRumors forum too. Some iPhone 18 Pro users say they get a 'Face ID not available' warning when they try to set it up. Others complain about the 'Require Attention' feature. This setting checks if the user is looking at the screen, but it is working inconsistently right now.

Apple changes Face ID hardware

Reports suggest Apple changed the Face ID hardware in the iPhone 18 Pro models. The company moved the infrared camera under the screen to the top left side. They did this to reduce the size of the Dynamic Island. We do not know yet if this hardware change is causing the current Face ID issues. Tech experts think software bugs could also be the reason.

Will iOS 27 update fix this?

MacRumors reports that Apple might fix these Face ID glitches in the upcoming iOS 27 update. Only a limited number of users have filed complaints so far. So, the actual spread of the problem in iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max models remains unclear. We have no proof right now that this bug affects all users.

Apple iPhone 17 At Rs 79,999? Check How To Grab Rs 19,900 Discount During Flipkart Big Billion Days Sale

Gargi Chaudhry — Tue, 06 Oct 2026 10:37:22 +0530

Apple's iPhone 17 will see significant price drop during Flipkart's upcoming Big Billion Days sale, reaching an effective price of Rs 79,999. However, this advertised price requires buyers to qualify for specific bank discounts and exchange bonuses.

Apple’s iPhone 17 is set to become considerably cheaper during Flipkart’s upcoming Big Billion Days sale, although the headline price will require buyers to qualify for more than one offer. There is a reduction in the price of the smartphone from its advertised price of Rs 99,900 to the effective price of Rs 79,999, because it is being marketed.

Because the advertised price takes into account both a bank discount and an exchange bonus, it is possible that not all customers will be able to acquire the gadget at the price of Rs 79,999 from the retailer.

Ahead of the sale, Flipkart is pushing customers to add the phone to their wish list so that they may check out the deals that are available when the products become available for purchase.

The Big Billion Days sale is scheduled to open to customers on October 9, while shoppers with early access will be able to place orders from October 8. During the sale, the iPhone 17 will be available for purchase for a price of Rs 84,999. This price is before any extra discounts are taken into consideration.

Despite the fact that this is a drop from the phone's MRP of Rs 99,900, the bigger savings comes from the combination of the special pricing with the applicable payment and exchange incentives.

According to the deal that is being advertised by Flipkart, qualified purchases that are completed using credit cards issued by ICICI Bank or Axis Bank are eligible to earn an additional discount of Rs 2,000. There is also the possibility of receiving an extra exchange incentive of Rs 3,000, provided that the requirements that apply are met.

If a buyer qualifies for both benefits, the calculation brings the effective price to Rs 79,999. In total, that is Rs 19,901 below the stated listed price.

It is essential to make a distinction between the selling price and the effective price. The amount of Rs 79,999 is not a set fee that is accessible to all customers at the point of checkout. On the contrary, it presumes that the purchaser satisfies the prerequisites for both the bank promotion and the exchange incentive.

It is possible that the exchange component will provide existing smartphone customers an additional means by which they may minimise the amount of money they spend for the iPhone 17. When customers complete in the exchange process, they have the opportunity to submit a qualifying old device and get the bonus that is specified, provided that the transaction satisfies the requirements set out by Flipkart.

An additional factor that may influence the ultimate value of an exchange is the device that is being traded in as well as the terms that were in effect at the time of the purchase. It is consequently recommended that purchasers consider the advertised effective price to be a computation based on a special offer rather than a guaranteed amount for each and every consumer.

It is important for customers to read the deal details that are provided on Flipkart and check the amount that is displayed at checkout before they complete an order. It is possible to begin shopping on October 8 for those who are entitled for early access, while the Big Billion Days sale will begin on October 9 for additional customers.

iPhone 17 Pro at Rs 69,990: Croma Offers Huge Discount With Exchange Bonus

Richa Barua — Tue, 15 Sep 2026 13:40:53 +0530

With the new iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Duo now launched, all eyes are suddenly on the older iPhone 17 Pro. The main reason is a killer offer announced by Tata's Croma.Apple launched its new iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max on September 9. Pre-bookings in India started on September 12, with sales kicking off on September 18. This has shifted the focus to deals on the older iPhone 17 Pro. Tata's Croma has put up a special price on its official offer page for the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max. The deal includes a ₹4,000 cashback on select bank cards and an exchange bonus of up to ₹12,000.

Croma's exchange scheme gives the best deal on the iPhone 17 Pro 256 GB model. According to Croma's rules, the exchange value is based on what an iPhone 15 Pro is worth. If your old phone's value is ₹30,000 or more, you can get an extra exchange bonus of up to ₹12,000. On top of that, there's a ₹4,000 bank offer for specific ICICI, HDFC, IDFC First, and AU Small Finance Bank cards.

Ganesha Currency: Did you know this Muslim country has a note with Lord Ganesha?

You need to understand one thing about the 'effective price' of ₹69,990. This isn't the direct price you pay at the store. Your final cost will depend on your old phone's value, its condition, your eligibility, the exchange bonus, and the bank offer. Croma's terms also say you can't fully combine all offers, though there are some exceptions for brand or bank cashbacks. Croma also mentioned that this offer is valid only till stocks last.Compared to the new generation, the iPhone 17 Pro is still a very powerful, premium phone. But since the iPhone 18 Pro is now out, buyers should think about the generation gap. The iPhone 18 Pro comes with upgrades like the new E20 Pro chip and a 48-megapixel fusion main camera with a variable aperture. So, if you don't absolutely need the latest features and have a good phone to exchange, this 17 Pro offer is worth considering.Meanwhile, Apple's first foldable phone, the iPhone Duo, is also entering the Indian market. The 256 GB model is priced at a steep ₹2,99,900. Pre-orders for it start on October 16 at 5:30 PM, and it goes on sale from October 23. This makes buying the iPhone 17 Pro at a lower price an interesting option for people who care more about price and performance than the newest features. But don't forget, the final price at Croma depends entirely on your old phone's exchange value and eligibility.

Xiaomi 18 Pro Max Launch Details REVEALED! Display, Features And Expected Specs

Gargi Chaudhry — Mon, 21 Sep 2026 14:34:06 +0530

Xiaomi 18 Pro series will be launched in China later this week as the tech giant's latest flagship handset lineup, the company announced. Two models are likely to be in the lineup. The company has started to tease the design, colour choices, specs, and features, but not the launch date. You will be able to buy the Xiaomi 18 Pro line in at least three colours, with a new blue colour being added. Also, the Xiaomi 18 Pro lineup will have a hardware-based privacy display feature that works like Samsung's Privacy Display feature on the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra.

Xiaomi 18 Pro Series Launch On September 23

The Xiaomi 18 Pro series will launch in China on September 23 at 7:00 pm local time (4:30 pm IST), according to a post made by the smartphone manufacturer on Weibo. This indicates that the launch is just two days away. As previously stated, two models—the Xiaomi 18 Pro and the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max—are anticipated to be part of the portfolio. At least three colour options—Black, Starry River Blue, and White—are hinted at for the debut of both devices.

The Xiaomi 18 Pro series shares design characteristics with its predecessor. It has been established that the lineup will have the same secondary display on the rear as it did the previous year. On the other hand, Xiaomi is referring to the new lineup's back display as "Versatile Back Screen" (translated from Chinese), which will provide an inventive set of features. The phone will also have a "micro-arc quad-curved" aluminium mid-frame on the sides and bezels surrounding the touchscreen on the front that are 0.99 mm thick.

After Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, now Xiaomi 18 Pro Series will also come with hardware-level privacy display. You can also customise the privacy display according to apps, customised notification privacy, split-screen privacy, and custom lock screen privacy.Check out its working… pic.twitter.com/dLBx7Rjek5

In addition, the tech behemoth has disclosed the Xiaomi 18 Pro series' display specifications. The Xiaomi 18 Pro will include a flat AMOLED display with an RGB lossless array, next-generation M11 luminescent material, new green light-emitting materials, a 20% increase in luminous efficiency, and a maximum brightness of 4,000 nits. Additionally, according to Xiaomi, the display panel would provide "clarity comparable" to a 2K resolution display while using the same amount of power as a 1.5K resolution screen.

The new hardware-level privacy display feature, which will function similarly to Samsung's Privacy Display technology, will also be introduced this week with the Xiaomi 18 Pro series.

Xiaomi 18 Pro Coming To India?

The expected launch schedule for the Xiaomi 18 series in India has also been revealed by tipster Debayan Roy (@Gadgetsdata). According to the leaker, the Xiaomi 18 series will be released in the nation in December of this year. It is important to note that the Pro models were not introduced by the corporation in India last year. Moreover, Xiaomi has yet to confirm this launch timeline. Hence, one should take it with a pinch of salt.

iPhone 17 vs iPhone 16: Which One Should You Buy in 2026? Is the Rs 10,000 Price Gap Worth Paying?

Gargi Chaudhry — Fri, 09 Oct 2026 11:31:22 +0530

Cupertino-based tech giant Apple announced the iPhone 17 last year. Even though its update isn't scheduled until early next year, big e-commerce sites in India will be selling the iPhone 17 on sale starting soon. Further, during the holiday shopping season, you may save money on the iPhone 16. Depending on your financial situation, this may be your last opportunity to purchase the iPhone 17 or iPhone 16 at a discount compared to their debut costs.

But which one is the more cost-effective option? To make things clearer, we've compared the two in terms of pricing and features.

iPhone 17 vs iPhone 16: Display

While both iPhones feature Super Retina XDR OLED panels, their sizes differ slightly: the iPhone 16 is 6.1 inches while the iPhone 17 is 6.3 inches. The iPhone 17 also has a 120Hz refresh rate, thinner bezels, and a greater peak brightness of 3,000nits (compared to the iPhone 16's 2,000nits), among other major changes.

iPhone 17 vs iPhone 16: Performance

The iPhone 17 features an A19 chipset, whereas the iPhone 16 has an A18 CPU. The latest vanilla flagship shipped with iOS 26, up from iOS 18 on the previous generation device. However, both phones may be updated to the most recent iOS 27 software.

iPhone 17 vs iPhone 16: Battery

In terms of its battery life, Apple asserts that the iPhone 17 is capable of withstanding up to thirty hours of video playback (in a controlled setting), which is eight hours longer than the iPhone 16. Additionally, the base 17 is capable of supporting quicker charging thanks to the improved PD charging standard.

iPhone 17 vs iPhone 16: Camera

The iPhone 17 comes equipped with a primary camera with 48 megapixels and an ultrawide camera with 48 megapixels, as well as an 18 megapixel camera with a Center Stage. In addition to a 12MP front-facing camera, the iPhone 16 has a 48MP + 12MP rear camera. While we are on the subject of enhancements, the iPhone 17 features improved ultrawide and front camera performance.

iPhone 17 vs iPhone 16: Price

On Apple India’s official website, the iPhone 16 starts at Rs 89,900. A starting price of Rs 99,900 is offered for the iPhone 17, which is an increase of Rs 10,000. On the other hand, the iPhone 17 will be available for Rs 79,899 during the Festival of Electronics sale that will begin on October 9 at Reliance Digital outlets. Taking into account the extra bank payback of Rs 3,000 and the exchange incentive of Rs 8,000, the price may be reduced to Rs 68,899.

With an extra bank incentive of Rs 1,500 and an exchange bonus of Rs 3,000, the Apple iPhone 16 will be available for purchase for a price of Rs 69,899 in India.

The conclusion is that the iPhone 17 is the superior option if you are able to extend your budget and take advantage of these deals. This is because the iPhone 17 features a display that operates at 120Hz, a quicker CPU, increased battery life, and an enhanced camera system.

iPhone 18 Pro vs Xiaomi 18 Pro: Whose Dynamic Island Looks Better? Viral Video Sparks Buzz

Gargi Chaudhry — Mon, 05 Oct 2026 17:28:23 +0530

A new smartphone comparison is drawing attention online after a video appeared to show the Xiaomi 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro side by side, focusing on how their pill-shaped display cutouts handle dynamic animations. The short clip compares the two devices during different on-screen interactions, highlighting how notifications and system animations appear around the front camera area. The comparison has quickly caught the attention of smartphone enthusiasts looking for differences between Xiaomi and Apple's latest Pro models.

iPhone 18 Pro and Xiaomi 18 Pro Compared

The video puts the two smartphones next to each other and focuses primarily on their respective interface animations. Apple's Dynamic Island has become a recognisable part of the iPhone experience, allowing alerts, calls, timers and other live activities to appear around the front-facing camera cutout.

The Xiaomi 18 Pro comparison appears to explore a similar visual approach, with animations expanding around the camera area during certain interactions. Rather than simply comparing hardware specifications, the clip focuses on the software experience and animation design, giving viewers a quick look at how the two interfaces handle similar functions.

Watch Viral YouTube Short

The Dynamic Island-style interface has become an important part of modern smartphone design, particularly as manufacturers experiment with ways to make camera cutouts more useful.

For users, the difference is not only about the shape of the display cutout but also about how smoothly notifications, alerts and background activities are integrated into the interface.

The viral comparison offers a quick visual way to judge the two approaches, although a short video alone may not provide enough information to assess overall performance or usability.

Apple introduced Dynamic Island as a way to turn the front camera cutout into an interactive part of the iPhone interface. Since then, several Android manufacturers have explored similar concepts through their own software features and animations.
