Apple overtakes Samsung as world's biggest phonemaker
Apple has surpassed Samsung to become the world's largest smartphone maker, capturing over a fifth of the global market share. Samsung, which held the top spot for 12 years, now faces increased competition from Chinese brands like Xiaomi, OPPO, and Transsion. The International Data Corporation (IDC) reports that global smartphone sales dropped by over 3% last year, the lowest in a decade, but predicts a market recovery. Apple's success is attributed to positive annual growth, trade-in offers, and interest-free financing plans, despite regulatory challenges and competition from Huawei. Samsung's profits are expected to decline due to weak global demand and competition from cheaper Android models.

Xiaomi Watch S1 Pro smartwatch review: Premium feel, average features
The Xiaomi Watch S1 Pro offers a premium design with a large 1.47" AMOLED screen and options for a black rubber or brown leather strap. Despite its attractive appearance and ease of navigation, the watch's features are basic and its statistics are less accurate compared to competitors like Fitbit. The Mi Fitness app is easy to set up but lacks detailed sleep tracking and personalization. The watch is priced at $330 in the US, £300 in the UK, and AU$391 in Australia, which is considered high for its features. It has a 14-day battery life, but regular use reduces it to about a week. Overall, while the watch looks premium, it needs more accurate stats and standout features to compete with Apple and Samsung.

Will we no longer see phones with pop-up cameras?
In 2019, many brands like Xiaomi and OnePlus produced phones with pop-up cameras, but recent models are abandoning this feature. OnePlus, which previously included pop-up cameras in its OnePlus 7 and 7T Pro models, is moving away from this design in its upcoming OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro models. Similarly, Oppo, Motorola, Realme, Honor, and Vivo have also shifted away from pop-up cameras, although Redmi continues to use them in models like the K20 Pro and Mi 9T Pro. Despite their initial popularity for eliminating screen notches, pop-up cameras are being replaced by more traditional camera setups and potentially future under-display selfie cameras.

The 'Apple Ecosystem' Trap
The article discusses the 'Apple ecosystem,' a business strategy that encourages consumers to buy multiple interconnected Apple products like MacBook, iPad, iPhone, and others for a seamless experience. While this ecosystem offers benefits such as device compatibility and data synchronization, it also locks consumers into using Apple products. The strategy cleverly circumvents anti-competitive laws by not forcing but incentivizing customers to stay within the ecosystem. The article also touches on the limitations of intellectual property laws and how companies like Xiaomi, Huawei, Oppo, and Samsung compete with Apple by developing alternatives not restricted by patents.

Apple overtakes Samsung to seize crown as world’s largest smartphone-maker
Apple surpassed Samsung as the world's largest smartphone manufacturer by volume in 2023, ending Samsung's 12-year streak. Apple's market share reached 20.1%, with Samsung at 19.4%. The success was attributed to consumers opting for higher-end models. Samsung lost ground in the low-end market, facing competition from Chinese brands like Xiaomi, Oppo, and Transsion. Apple also faced challenges, including a US import ban on certain Apple Watch models due to a patent infringement case with Masimo, and production issues in China leading to consideration of alternative manufacturing hubs like India.

Review: Motorola Edge 50 Ultra stands out for its zoom and fast charging
The Motorola Edge 50 Ultra reintroduces the 'Ultra' label with significant improvements in camera capabilities, featuring two 50 MP lenses and a 64 MP telephoto lens, surpassing competitors like the Galaxy S24 Ultra and iPhone 16 Pro Max in zoom quality. Equipped with a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor, 12 GB RAM, and 512 GB storage, it offers high performance. The 6.7-inch pOLED display with 144 Hz refresh rate and advanced connectivity options like Bluetooth 5.4 enhance user experience. Despite a smaller 4,500 mAh battery, its 125 W fast charging is impressive, reaching full charge in 20 minutes. However, issues like device heating during intensive camera use and limited photo format options are noted. Priced under R$ 5,000, it offers a competitive alternative to higher-priced models, though it lacks some features like a native gallery app.

Retailers likely to come to Google’s aid in NCLAT
Domestic retailers are expected to support Google in the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) by testifying that users of Google Android devices do not incur costs when switching to iOS devices. The NCLAT will hear Google's appeal against the Competition Commission of India's (CCI) order, which penalized Google for monopolistic practices. Retailers argue that various software packages facilitate free and easy data transfer between Android and iOS devices. This evidence challenges the CCI's claim that there is no substitutability between Android and iOS in India. Google has also alleged that the CCI's order contains numerous instances of copy-paste from the European Commission's 2018 decision. The outcome of the case will be decided by the NCLAT.
