AMD to invest $400 million in India by 2028: Here’s what we know

US chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices said on Friday it will invest around $400 million in India over the next five years and will build its largest design center in the tech hub of Bengaluru. AMD’s announcement was made by its Chief Technology Officer Mark Papermaster at an annual semiconductor conference that started Friday in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home state of Gujarat. Other speakers at the flagship event include Foxconn Chairman Young Liu and Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra. Despite being a late entrant, the Modi government has been courting investments into India’s nascent chip sector to establish its credentials as a chipmaking hub. AMD said it will open its new design centre campus in Bengaluru by end of this year and create 3,000 new engineering roles within five years. “Our India teams will continue to play a pivotal role in delivering the high-performance and adaptive solutions that support AMD customers worldwide,” Papermaster said. The new 500,000-square-foot (55,5...

1080p FaceTime video calls now on iPhone 8 and newer, more details on iOS 15

Video calls are now one of the main ways to conduct business and interact with people. Chances are that most of you are sticking to professional video calling platforms like Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, and Duo. If you belong to the minority relying on Apple’s FaceTime app, there’s some news that’s good. Apple has updated its changelog for the latest iOS 14.2 build and it now states 1080p video calls on FaceTime for some older iPhone models.

Hence, if you are doing a lot of video calls on FaceTime over Wi-Fi, you can enjoy the higher resolution video quality on your iPhone. Apple states that you need to be on an iPhone 8 and newer phone in order to take advantage of the 1080p video calls. That means you will need to use an iPhone model from 2017 or newer. Models such as the iPhone 7, iPhone 6S, iPhone SE (2016), and older won’t make the cut.

iOS 15 might not come to iPhone 6S, OG iPhone SE

In another report, there’s some information on iOS 15 and its compatibility. A recent report from The Verifier suggests that the iOS 15 update will evade the old iPhone 6S generation. That basically means the iOS 15 update won’t be supporting any of the devices running on the Apple A9 chip. Apple has a bunch of devices using this chip.

The iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus from 2015 run on the A9 chip. 2016’s iPhone SE (1st Gen) also uses the A9 chip while the iPad 5th Gen also uses the same platform. The Verifier’s record of leaks based on iOS has been on spot with the last few releases. Hence, there’s a high chance that your old iPhone 6S is ending its lifecycle soon.

That said, dropping the A9 powered devices from the iOS 15 support isn’t surprising. Apple offers up to five years of software support for all its devices. The iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus have already completed five years of their existence. However, the iPhone SE 1st Gen came a year later and it would see the axe being dropped on it sooner than other Apple devices.

It remains to be seen whether the iPad 5th Gen also drops the support for the next iPadOS version. The iPad 5th Gen came much later with the A9 chip. This year, Apple included the iPad Air 2 for iPadOS 14 and this device runs on the older A8X chip. Hence, there’s some hope for users of the 9.7-inch iPad 5th Gen.
