iPhone 11 and XR helped Apple make great gains in India in January and February

-
India is one market where Apple has continuously struggled - the company having negligible market share for year now. However, it has finally started to make progress as evidenced by its sales in January and February - the months unaffected by the Coronavirus outbreak.

According to a report by India's IANS news agencyApple sold 55% more iPhones in January and February of 2020, compared to the same months of 2019.

Shipments were mainly driven by the iPhone 11and iPhone XR - the cheapest current iPhones, until the iPhone 9 eventually comes.

Apple's "Made in India" manufacturing campaign has also had a big impact. The company uses Foxconn's Chennai facility to manufacture phones for the local market and avoid import tariffs.

It's yet to be seen how the ongoing Conornavirus outbreak will affect the market dynamics in the months to come. It has certainly disrupted supply chain, manufacturing, but it will be some time before we can truly grasp its impact.

Because every single one of us needs all the "likes" we can get. And because #nofilter is no longer a thing.  Here are six of the best iPhone photo-editing apps to d

Despite Trump’s claims, Google isn’t building the coronavirus screening site — and it’s not ready

  In a press conference at the White House, President Trump today announced that 1,700 Google engineers were working on a coronavirus screening site. That site was supposedly the first step in a new screening process that would lead people from figuring out if their symptoms warranted more testing to the location of new “drive through” testing stations. But Trump was wrong. This screening site isn’t being developed by Google . Instead, it’s being built by Verily , Alphabet’s life science division — and it’s not ready to launch yet either. While both share the same parent company in Alphabet, these are two very different companies. In addition, as Verily noted in a statement it provided almost three hours after Trump made the announcement, this site isn’t quite ready yet. “Verily is developing a tool to help triage individuals for COVID-19 testing. We are in the early stages of development, and planning to roll testing out in the Bay Area, with the hope of expanding more
