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...

Another Apple controversy: It is again accused of slowing down iPhone 12 and more

Apple might be in hot water soon. The Cupertino company might be throttling the performance of new iPhones as suggested by the Spain Consumer Protection Organization. It has been accused of slowing down the performance of a few iPhones that includes the current flagship: iPhone 12 after these were updated to iOS 14.5,  iOS 14.5. 1, or iOS 14.6.

The organisation (OCU in Spanish) has sent a letter to Apple demanding compensation to users who have suffered. If Apple fails to do anything satisfactory, there might be a lawsuit waiting for it soon. Here’s a look at all the details.

Apple might be slowing down new iPhones

A report by Spanish website iPhoneros suggests that the iPhone 12, the iPhone 11, the iPhone XS, and the iPhone 8 have slowed down after the iOS 14.5 update. This has led to a slower processing speed and an impact on the battery, which now gets drained too fast.

Other organisations such as Altroconsumo, Deco Proteste, and Test-Achats have also participated in this. It is suggested that Deco Proteste had accused Apple due to similar reasons earlier this year. The case in question was the company’s iPhone 6 throttling case that was filed in 2016.

Speaking of which, we hope you remember that. If not, here’s what happened. Back in 2016, a few iPhone (iPhone 6, 6, 6s, 6s Plus) users complained of unexpected shutdowns. It was a result of CPU throttling on part of Apple to improve the devices’ battery life. This was done via an iOS update.

Apple later accepted this and sent out an update to sort this issue out. It even decreased the prices of battery replacements, paid a hefty sum to settle the lawsuit, and introduced a battery health indicator as a way of compensating people.

Coming to the present, it might have to face a lot if this new accusation is proven right. But, Apple is yet to comment on this.

We will keep you posted on this, hence, stay tuned.
