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...

Apple’s foldable iPhone to make its entry in 2023, suggests Ming-Chi Kuo

Apple has been featuring in the rumour mill for its first foldable iPhone for quite some time. In addition to the existing rumour thread, we have new details that give us more information on the foldable phone’s launch time, features, and more.

The source of this information is the famous analyst Mini-Chi Kuo, hence, we can expect them to have some weight. Here are the details.

Foldable iPhone launch time revealed, yet again

As per Ming-Chi Kuo (via MacRumors), the first foldable iPhone is most likely to launch in 2023, which means we need to wait for some time to get hold of the same. The information is based on an “industry survey” and reveals that Apple’s shipment of its foldable phones will reach 15 to 20 million units.

The new report corroborates the previous report (by the same source), which hinted at the Apple device’s arrival at around the same time.

Apart from this, the report highlights some of the features and specs of the unnamed foldable iPhone. It is suggested that it could span 8-inch and come with a WQD+ flexible OLED display with Samsung Display providing the main screen components for it. The DDI display controller will be from Samsung Foundry.

It is further suggested that the Cupertino tech major could use a silver nanowire touch solution for the foldable iPhone’s screen so as to have an edge over Samsung‘s Y-Octa display and will prove helpful for future foldable devices that can have multiple folds, “rollable, medium to large size display, and durability.”

The nanowire tech is currently being used for the HomePod.

What to expect from a foldable iPhone?

While we lack official information, we do have some rumours to look at. It is suggested that the foldable iPhone, allegedly called the iPhone Flip, could come with a clamshell design, much like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip. This means it will fold horizontally.

Past rumour has also suggested that the phone could come in funky colour options, taking cues from the iPhone XR, iPhone 11, and the iPhone 12. This will most likely be to attract a younger audience. There are chances the device might be priced reasonably, although, the odds are not in the favour of this.

To get a better idea of this, we need more information from Apple and we will keep you updated once we get some. Hence, stay tuned for further details.
