There is sad news by Apple, as iPhone XR and iPhone 11 Pro will be out of the market but the good news is they will launch the iPhone 12 series. However, both the iPhone XR and iPhone 11 pro will be discontinued after the iPhone 12 launch.
The news is broadcasted by the Twitter account @iAppleTimes, and according to this news, Apple will discontinue iPhone XR & iPhone 11 Pro after launching of iPhone 12. It is reported that iPhone 12 will be launched with a more powerful processor and better cameras.
Apple to discontinue iPhone XR and iPhone 11 Pro models after iPhone 12 launch. iPhone 11 at $549
Apple is also decided that they will discontinue the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max. Apple took the same kind of decision when they launched the iPhone 11 series as they discontinue iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max. However, both of the smartphones still are available in the market.
Another good news according to the source is, iPhone 11, which has a starting price of $699 (51,822.11 Indian Rupee), should get a price cut of $150 (11,123.28 Indian Rupee) and the new price will be set at $549 (40,698.99 Indian Rupee), making the last year’s flagship smartphone much more affordable than before.
According to the source, the availability of the more powerful iPhone SE 2020 is a better alternative than to reduce the price of the iPhone XR. However, if people start getting iPhone 11 at $549, then a lot of people might be tempted to shell out $150 more for a better iPhone than going for the iPhone 8 refresh i.e. the iPhone SE (2020).

RailYatri, a platform that allows Indians to book railway and bus tickets easily, could have exposed many of its users’ private data, at least the reports are saying this. The user count is expecting more than seven lakh. The report is saying that the servers with 43 GB of user data are
a massive data breach that is due to inadequate safety protocols.
A group of researchers from a cybersecurity firm Safety Detective firstly noticed the exposed Elasticsearch server on 10th August. When the team was reviewing the server data, it was hit by a Meow bot attack and it removed almost all the data from the server. Around 43 GB of data of over 37 million records reduced down to 1 GB.
The Meow attack is one of the new types of cyber attack that clears unsecured Elasticsearch, MongoDB, or Redis servers’ data. For this time, over 37 million recorded with log files and 7 lakh unique e-mail addresses are leaked.
It’s not all, the leaked data also includes users’ full name, phone number, address, gender, age, and payment logs such as saved UPI IDs, credit, and debit card details, as well as location details.
Safety Detective reached the company first to resolve the security issue, but when they didn’t respond, the cybersecurity research firm went to the Indian National Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In). A day after that, the vulnerability was fixed.
If you ever used the RailYatri service, it is requested to reset your password, delete all your payment method details like UPI data and cards, and also try to change the UPI pin.

Realme X7 series is set to launch in China on September 1 at 2pm CST Asia (11:30 am IST). We know that the series will include two smartphones – Realme X7 and Realme X7 Pro. Yesterday some live images and the final image of the phone has been revealed by two Realme executives in their Weibo accounts. The phones in the images shows a tri-colour gradient.
The back side of the phone is shown in all the pics to promote the new colour gradient of the smartphone. At the back we can see a quad rear camera, realme logo and the motto “DARE TO LEAP” which was adopted by the company a year back to target the young generations.
Xianghai Sire, Design Director of Realme, revealed that the colour took 8 months to develop, and over 400 hours to colour proof. He also hopes that the colour will attract the youths more. This colour is dubbed as “C Color”, but a more proper translation would be “Spectral Gradient”. Accoding to Sire, this colour and design is a gamble and hopes everything goes well so that the company can proceed in future with such designs.
In the case of specifications, some information was teased by the company itself and others are expected to get from some tipsters. X7 pro will be available in three different colors such as black,white and purple. It is expected to have two variants 6 GB and 8 GB. There will be two storage options 128 GB and 256 GB (unfortunately, this phone will not have a micro SD card slot for storage expansion). This device will run on Android 10-based Realme UI.
It will come with a 6.55-inch large display (1,080×2,400 pixels) with an in-display fingerprint sensor. The X7 Pro has the volume rocker located on the left frame and the power button placed on the right. According to a reliable Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station, X7 Pro will support 5G networks and it will have a 120 Hz AMOLED display. So, it is quite good to see there will be no compromise on a display of this phone.
Coming to its camera specifications X7 Pro is expected to have a 32MP punch-hole selfie camera in the top left corner of the screen. In the case of rear cameras, it will have a quad camera with a primary sensor 64 MP, 8 MP ultra-wide-angle sensor, 2 MP macro, and 2 MP for depth sensor. As it is not officially confirmed, the macro lens could be slightly better in this range.

This smartphone has been spotted in a recently released render where it shows the back side of the smartphone and the camera layout.
On the back side schematic of the phone the massive “POCO” branding can be seen. The label says “64MP AI super camera” which means it has a 64MP primary rear camera. To remind or viewers the POCO X2 also has a 64MP primary camera at the back.
Another source claims that the phone will come with 5,160mAh battery and will support 33W (11V – 3A) fast wired charging. The previous model supported 4,500mAh battery and supported 27W fast charging. It has been spotted from the SAR test report and TÜV Rheinland listing.

As claimed by one of the POCO officials that this time the new POCO smartphone will have noticeable display refresh rate, and so we are expecting that the POCO phone might come with a 120Hz display refresh rate.
The Dutch coach has only arrived at Barcelona for almost a week now and he his already making some significant moves at the club and his first big move is in form of asking Luis Saurez to leave the club. Obviously, this hurts for most Barca fans out there but Saurez also consumes a huge wage bill including other like Pique, Alba, Umtiti, Busquets, Vidal and Rakitic, so Koeman plans to get rid of all these players but the case is different for Busquets.
However, the baseline is that Barca plans to make significant changes to actually make a dynamic team back again or according to Messi, “a winning project” and for that bidding farewell to some aged players is important. This year was one of the darkest seasons for the Blaugranas as they won no trophy and who can forget that humiliating 8-2 defeat against Bayern?
According to Mundo Deportivo, Koeman has met with Ramón Planes, the new technical secretary, and Oscar Grau, the CEO of the club. As MD says, after a few hours of meeting, the technical director did make give some names of the casualties they plan to make like Luis Suarez, Rakitic, Vidal, and Umtiti too will be asked to leave. However, Coutinho will be making his way back at the club and maybe Alba can be allowed this season.
Having strike out some big names you have to think about some players to replace them as well and the club will look forward to bring new players as well. As MD points out that their sources of the club have unveiled the dutch coach’s early directions:
DEFENSE
Barcelona plans to bring a central defender and two side ‘low cost’ full-backs but the club will not be looking for any goalkeepers.
Koeman knows he has two high-rated goalkeepers in the form of Ter Stegen and Neto. However, due to the German goalkeeper’s operation, the Brazilian will take up the responsibility for the first leg of next season and there’s the young and talented Iñaki Peña as well.
Now, things get a bit critical talking about a central defender, Barcelona will be looking for a good center-back who can do the job of Umtiti because the Frenchman can be sold this transfer window itself. However, as MD points out the central defender has to be an experienced central, who is looking to finish his contract and has a comparatively low salary. The most likely candidate for this role is now Eric Garcia.
Koeman has also asked for a substitute right-back for Nelson Semedo and another left-back if Junior Firpo ends up being traded, as they want to raise as many funds as possible. Jordi Alba will be playing on the left-hand side for another year but two of the left-backs should be bought at a cut-price. MD has even named both Estupiñán and Nouri the two potential candidates. Jose Gaya and Angelino rumors have also been floating for the past few days as well.
MIDFIELD
Koeman has informed the club that he wants to get rid of Vidal and Rakitic and he is good to have Riqui Puig to bring the dynamism to the midfield. The Dutch coach would not mind if both Busquets and Sergi Roberto, especially Roberto continues, however, in that position now the club has got Pjanic.
Koeman could actually implement a dual pivot system that will require a lot of physique and dynamism. Even though Roberto may get into the starting XI, Busquets may have to come off the bench if chooses to stay at the club. Then comes the role of creative midfielders and Koeman who is a fan of Coutinho, wants the Brazilian to make the key passes for the attacks.
MD also points out that getting hold of either Van de Beek and Fabian Ruiz will be difficult in this economical crisis. However, if some arrangements can be done Koeman will obviously try to bring the talented Dutch midfielder to the club.
FORWARD
Luis Suárez’s contract will be terminated and so the club needs their next number 9 which indeed will be a hard avenue to go through in this kind of economic crisis, however, if club wages reduce, then still there are possibilities.
Lautaro Martinez is the most likely candidate to be the next no 9 of the club and the club really wants the Argentine striker and Messi also likes him as well. Koeman has his other attacking options covered with the likes of Pedri, Trincao, and the other non-transferable including Dembélé, Griezmann, and Ansu Fati.
Former PSG captain Thiago Silva is now a free agent after finishing this season as Champions League runners-up. He had already informed the French side that he will leave this summer.
Thiago Silva joined PSG from Milan in 2012 and has helped the club to gain glory in France. Everyone at PSG wanted to give him a fitting farewell by winning the Champions League but they lost 1-0 to Bayern Munich in the finals on Sunday.
After the defeat, Silva has now decided about his next destination. He is going to sign a €6m per season deal with Premier League side Chelsea until June 2022.
Thiago Silva to Chelsea, here we go! The Brazilian CB today has accepted Chelsea bid until June 2022. He’s gonna leave PSG and sign for next two years. No chances for Fiorentina. Deal to be completed on next days. 🔵🇧🇷 #CFC#Chelsea#Thiago
Although Chelsea finished fourth last season, they conceded 54 goals in the Premier League. Lampard has been on the lookout to sign a new defender. Frank Lampard’s side has a shacky defence so the addition of a vastly experienced defender would definitely improve the backline.
Now the question arises, Thiago Silva will be 36 years next month so can he handle the pace and intensity of the Premier League at this age? Premier League has always been a physical league so can Silva live up to the standards of the English top-flight?
Silva is a free agent now, so even if he turns 36-year-old, signing such a coveted player on a free transfer is always going to be a successful deal. So Lampard’s Chelsea has decided to sign him and he will pen down the contract immediately.
After Thiago signing, Chelsea will consider to loan Tomori (Ligue1 chances – many clubs interested) and Bakayoko to AC Milan (advanced talks) then Emerson Palmieri, so they’ll complete Ben Chilwell deal with Leicester.
Havertz agreed and in paperworks time 🤝🔵 #CFC#Chelsea
Coronavirus pandemic has already affected every part of the world. The normal life of everyone has changed. The sporting activities have also been affected.
IPL is going to start on the 19th of September in UAE. Royal Challengers Bangalore has already arrived at Waldorf Astoria in UAE. After landing in UAE, RCB captain Virat Kohli, director of the cricket operation Mike Hesson and head coach Simon Katich joined in a virtual meeting to discuss the rules and regulation of the team and welcome everyone on board.
Virat Kohli said: “It (violation) will be dealt with very seriously. For accidental breach, players will be removed and sent into isolation for seven days and then come back only after he tests negative.”
Hesson said: “There will be strong consequences if players chose to do that (violate protocols). Players will sign a document which explains the consequences.”
Kohli added: “We have to understand that we need to protect the bubble.”
Kohli also said that these rules will be strictly followed by all the members of the team and he wants a good culture to follow this rule from the first day.
He said: “I can’t wait to get to our first practice session, something that we all are going to cherish. An opportunity to create a good team culture from Day 1.”
“For me, it’s all about what can I do to create an environment where everyone feels a part of the team equally and everyone feels responsible for where we want to go equally. And I think all of us have to contribute towards that. Firstly the seniors in the team. So let’s start things on the right note.”
He also warned everyone that: “I think one mistake by any one of us could literally spoil the whole tournament. And none of us want to do that.”
RCB has never won the IPL trophy. This time Kohli wants to end their bad run in this competition and wants the unity of the team in every aspect.
