Apple set to change its pricing strategy for iPhone 15 Plus: Know why

After dropping the Mini iPhone from its lineup this year, Apple brought back the once fabled, Plus phones, launching the iPhone 14 Plus as a part of its latest line of phones in September. However, as per reports, the poor sales of the iPhone 14 Plus have forced Apple to take a different route with this year’s launches. This problem has reportedly affected the iPhone 14 as well. The iPhone 14 Plus, at the time of launch, was positioned to fill the gap between the base iPhone 14 and the Pro models. The main difference between the base iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Plus was the bigger battery capacity and a larger 6.7-inch screen compared to the 6.1-inch screen of the base iPhone 14. As it turns out though, these differences were not enough to drive the sales of the device when it hit the stores. Two ways out, only one to pick To make sure that the iPhone 15 Plus does not report similar sales numbers, Apple executives have reportedly laid out a definitive plan for the next launch cycle.

Google announced a new Youtube feature at the Google for India 2022 event that lets users input text prompts to search for specific moments in a video. When you search for a topic on Google and are presented with a related video, you must watch the entire video to reach the point with the information you’re looking for.

Google Search currently displays YouTube videos with highlighted sections that show the part of the video that correlates with your search query. These key moments may not always give you all the answers you’re looking for, which is where the new ‘search in video’ comes into play. On selecting the feature, you need to enter a text prompt related to what you’re looking for, and the video will start playing from the desired moment.  This feature has not started rolling out to all users yet but will be done soon.
