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 iPhone 15 Pro may ditch stainless steel for titanium for its frame: What we know

This year the iPhone lineup may see a sort of breakthrough. Apple may be planning to introduce a USB-C port to its iPhone for the first time. That is a big but not the only change coming. A report previously said that the top-of-the-line iPhone 15 Pro series may feature a chassis (frame) made of titanium for the first time. Due to that, the iPhone 15 Pro will be lighter and more durable than its predecessor, which uses stainless steel.

Apple began using stainless steel on high-end iPhones in 2017 with the launch of the iPhone X. All high-end iPhone models have since then used stainless steel for their chassis. But that is set to change this year. According to tipster AppleShrimpPro, who has a good enough track record of the accuracy of Apple-related leaks, in November reported that the iPhone 15 Pro models would use casing made of titanium, along with round edges. Later, JP Morgan Chase analyst Jeff Pu corroborated the leak in an investor report.

So, is Apple really planning to upgrade the design of the iPhone 15 Pro series?

For years, Apple has been rumoured to be working on an iPhone with titanium cases for several years now. According to multiple patents filed by Apple over the past few years, the company has been planning to replace stainless steel with titanium on its high-end iPhone models. To get an idea of what an iPhone with a titanium casing would look like, take the Apple Watch for reference.

The Apple Watch uses titanium cases since its 2019 model. Over the past few years, Apple Watch has garnered positive responses not just for how adept it is but also for how durable the smartwatch is. Not just that, the Apple Watch models show the difference in weight titanium can bring. Apple offers its smartwatches in both steel and titanium cases. The 41mm steel model of the latest Watch Series 7 weighs 42.3g, while the titanium version’s weight is 37.0g. Similarly, the 45mm steel model weighs 51.5g, while the weight of the titanium version is 45.1g. Not to mention, the highest-end Apple Watch Ultra comes only in a titanium casing.

With stainless steel, the latest iPhone 14 series weighs between 172g  and 240g. That means the model at the top end of the price spectrum, the iPhone 14 Pro Max, weighs about 240g. With titanium, Apple may try to bring down the weight of the iPhone without compromising on the material. However, the iPhone 15 Pro models are unlikely to weigh less than the aluminium iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, scheduled to arrive later this year.
