To use the new transfer feature, both the iPhone and Android device must…...

3+ hour, 13+ min ago (320+ words) Amid the rising memory component prices in the industry, several smartphone brands have quietly increased the prices of their smartphones in the recent weeks. Against this backdrop, an alleged circular claiming to be an official Apple communication started circulating online, claiming that the Cupertino giant is planning to increase the price of iPhone 17 in India. The circular claimed that Apple will implement a Rs 7,000 price hike on the iPhone 17 starting December 16, taking the price of the base variant to Rs 89,900. However, Digit has learnt that these claims are false and that Apple is not increasing the price of the iPhone 17 in India.

3+ hour, 17+ min ago (576+ words) Apple just released the first beta build of iOS 26.3, introducing several new features set to arrive on compatible iPhones. The update adds a new transfer tool designed to make switching to an Android device much more seamless, a Weather wallpaper section for lock screen customization, and, most notably, support for viewing iPhone notifications on third-party wearables.

They can also specify whether they want to receive all notifications or alerts from…...

3+ hour, 23+ min ago (397+ words) 8:18 am December 16, 2025 By Julian Horsey Managing multiple notes can quickly become overwhelming, especially when dealing with complex projects or extensive information. A highly effective strategy is to create a centralized "index" note that links to related notes, allowing you to organize and access information effortlessly. For instance, if you're working on a project, this method enables you to consolidate all relevant information in one place. This approach not only streamlines navigation but also ensures that critical details are always within reach, saving you time and effort. Long notes can become cluttered and difficult to navigate, but collapsible headings provide an elegant solution. By structuring your notes with subheadings, you can break content into manageable sections and maintain a clear overview. For example, if you're taking notes during a brainstorming session, collapsible headings allow you to focus on specific sections without…...

3+ hour, 26+ min ago (461+ words) If you've been waiting patiently to upgrade your phone in 2026, hoping the next generation of devices will be faster, cheaper, or offer better value, we've got some bad news for you. Smartphones will most likely get more expensive and less featureful in the coming year compared to what you can buy today. According to new data from Counterpoint Research, global smartphone shipments are now expected to fall by 2.1% in 2026 due to rising memory costs. The bigger potential problem for buyers is pricing. The research firm notes that the average selling prices for phones are expected to rise 6.9% year over year, nearly double earlier estimates. In a nutshell, phone makers would very likely charge more because they don't have any other option, given the current market situation. The biggest pain point is DRAM, and we're sure you've already heard about the…...
