Apple has been making news with its plan to set up its manufacturing plant in India. With the country’s Make in India initiative, the Cupertino giant seems to be finally making its entry to the country along with the rest of its partners.
According to sources, Cheng Uei Precision Industry Co, an apple’s major cable maker, plans to start its mass production of wire from its new plant in India. It is, however, not the only industry to begin manufacturing products for apple.
According to reports, Foxconn Technology Group, Pegatron Corp., and Wistron Corp, all of apple’s major assembly partners, have set up a subsidiary for India’s iPhone assembly plant. Apple’s assembly partners plan on investing a total of almost $900 million in India in the next five years.
On the other hand, India is offering ₹665 crores as part of its production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme. The scheme provides companies cash incentives on any increase in the sales of locally-made smartphones.
According to sources, Foxconn will invest about ₹4,000 crores, Wistron will invest ₹1300 crore, and Pegatron has committed to invest ₹1200 crore under the PLI plan.
Wistron currently assembles a rough amount of 200,000 second-generation iPhone SEs per month in India. The company now plans to scale its production up to 400,000 a month.
This new plan by Wistron will result in a significant economic boost for the country. It is estimated to create roughly 10,000 jobs in the country.
Tarun Pathak, an associate director at tech researcher Counterpoint, stated that “India is key to Apple’s global ambitions as it expands beyond China. It offers a strategic market to them where skilled labour is cheaper than other manufacturing destinations; the size of the internal market is huge, and the export potential is enormous”.

Manchester United finished 3rd last season and things were beginning to look bright for the Red Devils. But as this new season started, United are back to their old selves.
United lost their opening game at Old Trafford to Crystal Palace by 3-1 and after that Tottenham Hotspur humiliated them by a 6-1 scoreline.
Although their recent away form looked good after they won 4-1 against Newcastle United and 2-1 against PSG, they failed to win over Chelsea at Old Trafford and was held 0-0.
0 – Man Utd have failed to win their opening three home league games to a season for the first time since 1972-73. Blunted. #MUNCHEpic.twitter.com/l2pa9nG6XP
This is the first time since the 1972-73 season that Manchester United have failed to win any of their opening three home league games.
United were expected to sign Sancho this summer but they failed once again, though they made some deadline day signings in the form of Cavani and Alex Telles.
Ole has failed in controlling the wheel till now. In their last home game against Chelsea, they failed to produce something extraordinary in the final third. Chelsea was keeping much of the possession but Manchester United tried to take the advantages in quick counter-attacks and breaks. But Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy was excellent to deny Manchester United to find the back of the net.
Edinson Cavani made his Manchester United debut in the second half. He looked in a scoring mood but failed to find the back of the net due to some brilliant defending by his old PSG teammate Thiago Silva.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will have to find a solution quickly in order to restore Old Trafford to its glory days. It used to be a fortress, but sadly, now it is far from it.
Donny Van De Beek didn’t feature against Chelsea at Old Trafford on Saturday. Manchester United secured a 0-0 draw against the London side. It was quite astonishing to see Donny Van De Beek didn’t come up from the bench to break the deadlock.
Donny Van De Beek is yet to start a game in Premier League for Manchester United, though he scored in his Premier League debut against Crystal Palace after coming off the bench. His performance after coming off the bench was so good that he should have started at least a game till now.
Patrice Evra: "Why did we buy Van de Beek? I have nothing against him. He's watching the game from the stands. We don't need him. Nobody will say it but that's the truth." #mulive [sky]
Former Manchester United player Patrice Evra also questioned why United bought the Netherlands international.
Now, Netherlands great Marco Van Basten has also raised his voice. According to him, Donny Van De Beek should have never joined Manchester United.

Van Basten, who had a glittering playing career with Ajax and AC Milan, said: “Donny should not have gone to Manchester United.”
“When you are a good player you want to play every week. It is really bad for a player like Donny to play only six or seven games this year. That is shocking for your match rhythm.”
“I know he is earning loads and loads more than he used to. But as a top player you have to be critical and look at the chances of playing when you sign for a new club.”
“Donny should have waited for better prospects and signed for another club.”
There has been a lot of criticism on Ole for signing Van De Beek if he doesn’t intend in playing him regularly.
The 23-year-old had been a major part of the Ajax team for the last few years and he was expected to play the same role at Old Trafford but he hasn’t got any opportunity till now under Solakjaer.
Only 6 minutes into one of the most highly anticipated Merseyside derbies in recent memory, Jordan Pickford executed a horrendous tackle on Liverpool’s Virgil Van Dijk that left the Dutch centre-back unable to carry on.
By the looks of it, Van Dijk will be out for the rest of the 20/21 season at the very least. This is because the injury sustained by Van Dijk is an Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury.
Van Dijk’s Netherlands teammate Memphis Depay has sent a message for him.
The Lyon striker scored a goal against Monaco in Sunday’s win. After scoring, he unveiled a message for injured Van Dijk while celebrating.
Depay pulled up his shirt to reveal the message for Van Dijk, which read: “Virgil stay strong my brother.”
The ACL injury sustained by Van Dijk is one of the most dreaded injuries in the sport as it takes an immense amount of time and a painful road to recovery to come out on the other side.
As per some reports, Apple will announce very soon regarding the launch of its AirTags. There is also a rumor in the market that the AirTags from Apple will come in two sizes: one big and one small. Some of the trusted sources have leaked this information. But the accurate size has not been confirmed by the company.

If we check the images of the internal technology of the iOS 13, AirTags were smaller, having the circular white tags with an Apple logo on the front. This time, there can be a bigger one. It is expected that they will be more likely to be attached to items via adhesive or an attachment point like a ring. Moreover, there may be more than one way to use them with different items.

If we look out for the Air Tags’ capability, they are capable of tracking human motion and activity in general. As per some of the new patents from Apple, the AirTags will support the data-sharing and near-field functions. Moreover, the device is expected to send, receive, and request information from the compatible devices around.
In terms of real-world problems, the device could include the identification and location of a lost device with the ecosystem’s help. One can also install the AirTags in public or corporate spaces to automatically push documents. So, it is just a great jump to make a smart and connected environment from Apple.

As of now, Apple is working hard, trying to mass-produce as many as cans. But we expected that Apple would announce those October or November events. But unfortunately, Apple didn’t do such things, and as per reports, Apple will push AirTags’ announcement to March 2021 due to manufacturing issues. The only good thing is, Apple has confirmed the announcement of AirTags.
Match 46 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 will feature war as Kolkata Knight Riders will take on the Kings XI Punjab.
Both the teams are frontrunners for that number 4 spot in the IPL points table. KXIP have to win all their remaining matches to qualify for the playoffs on their own terms. Losing this match would reduce KXIP to still win their remaining matches and then depend upon the net run rate equation. KXIP is coming off a phenomenal come from behind win against SRH. They have won four of their last matches, three against the top 3 teams of the points table.
KKR, on the other hand, will have to register 2 wins in their remaining three matches as well. They are coming off a great win against the Delhi Capitals.
Kings XI Punjab
KXIP has been a great form. They were at the bottom of the points table, however, winning four matches has them in contention for the number 4 spot. However, the injury of Mayank Agarwal has been an issue. Their top-order has therefore looked inconsistent. Pooran has looked good in the middle order but should get more support from Maxwell.
Their bowlers have looked great with Mohammed Shami, Chris Jordan, Arshdeep Singh, Murugan Ashwin, and Ravi Bishnoi.
(PC- The Indian Express)
Kolkata Knight Riders
KKR finally got Sunil Narine in and the results speak for themselves. KKR were again struggling as Shubham Gill, Rahul Tripathi, and Dinesh Karthik lost their wickets early. However, they made two changes of opening with Nitish Rana and promoting Sunil Narine at number 5. That immediately paid dividends as Rana scored 81 runs off 53 balls and Narine scored 64 runs off 32 balls.
Their bowling looked fantastic as well with Pat Cummins taking early wickets and sending the in-form Shikhar Dhawan back to the pavilion. However, the start of the show was indeed Varin Chakravarthy who took 5 wickets!
(PC- Cricket County)
Fantasy XI team
KL RAHUL (11)(C) – Rahul has been extremely consistent in this IPL. He has been a run machine and will be our captain.
SUNIL NARINE (VC) – Narine scored 64 runs off 32 balls in his last match. He can bowl in any situation as well. He’ll be our vice-captain.
NICHOLAS POORAN (9) – Pooran is coming off single-handedly winning the match for KXIP against DC. He takes care of the KXIP middle-order as well.
SHUBMAN GILL (9.5) – Gill hasn’t been in good form but he certainly has the potential to score big.
CHRIS GAYLE (9) – Gayle has been fairly consistent despite being on the sidelines for the majority of the tournament.
NITISH RANA (8.5) – Rana scored 81 runs off 53 balls in his last match. He can replicate these performances while opening the inning.
VARUN CHAKRAVARTHY (8.5) – He took an impressive 5-wicket hall in his last match.
MOHAMMED SHAMI (9) – Shami has been in great form and has always been among the wickets.
MURUGAN ASHWIN (8) – M. Ashwin has looked really good in the chances he has got so far.
LOCKIE FERGUSON (8.5) – Ferguson is known for picking up wickets in the middle overs. His raw pace is very effective in UAE pitches.
PAT CUMMINS (8.5) – Cummins is coming off an impressive 53 against MI. Also, he has some rhythm with his bowling.
PREDICTION
KXIP has been really good in their last four matches. KKR has shown good results, however, consistency has been an issue for them. Kings XI Punjab will therefore defeat Kolkata Knight Riders.
