00:00Apple is reportedly working on its foldable phone.
00:03Elon Musk claims Tesla will start using humanoid robots next year.
00:07The week gone by was buzzing with a lot of exciting tech developments and we bring you
00:11the most important ones in a tech route.
00:18HMD, the maker of Nokia phones has launched two new phones in India, the HMD Crest and
00:24the HMD Crest Max.
00:27Both phones come with a 6.67-inch Full HD Plus OLED display.
00:33The Crest Max has a triple rear camera.
00:35The HMD Crest, on the other hand, has a dual rear camera.
00:39Both phones, however, feature a 50-megapixel front camera.
00:43The Crest comes with a 6GB RAM and 128GB storage.
00:48The Crest Max includes 8GB RAM and 256GB storage.
00:53The back cover of the phones can be easily removed, which means you can easily repair
00:58your battery, charging port or a broken display.
01:01Both phones come in three colours.
01:03The Crest is priced at Rs. 14,499, whereas the Crest Max carries a price tag of Rs. 16,499.
01:19Apple is likely to introduce its foldable iPhone as early as 2026.
01:25It's reported that Apple's foldable iPhone has progressed from the ideation stage.
01:30The company has reached out to suppliers in Asia to make components for the device.
01:35The company's plan to release a foldable iPhone could mimic a similar move by Samsung.
01:41This could mark the biggest hardware design revamp for Apple's most popular product.
01:47Foldable smartphones powered with artificial intelligence features are expected to trigger
01:51demand for the iPhone maker, which faces stiff competition from companies like Honor and
01:56Huawei in China and from Samsung globally.
02:03Tesla will have humanoid robots in low production for the company's internal use next year.
02:08The automaker will have the robots hopefully in high production for other companies in
02:132026.
02:14This is what Musk said in a post on social media platform X.
02:19Humanoid robots have been in development for several years by various companies such as
02:24Japan's Honda and Hyundai Motor's Boston Dynamics.
02:28Firms are betting on them to meet potential labour shortages and perform repetitive tasks
02:32that could be dangerous or tedious such as logistics, warehousing and manufacturing.
02:43India has cut import duty on mobile phones and some key parts to 15% from 20%.
02:49This move will directly benefit tech giant Apple, which still imports its high-end smartphones
02:54into the country.
02:56Understand that almost 10-12% of the Apple iPhones are imported each year into India.
03:02It's estimated that a 5% reduction in tax on the devices will result in a $35-50 million
03:09annual benefit to Apple.
03:12Although Apple has boosted its local production in India through contract manufacturers such
03:16as Foxconn and India's Tata Group, it still imports some of its high-end Pro and Pro Max
03:21iPhone models into the country.
03:24Other manufacturers such as Samsung would also benefit but to a lesser degree.
03:29Why?
03:30Because the majority of Samsung's smartphones are locally made.
