The iPhone 15 is now only Rs 65,999 in India, and customers may save an additional 10%, or up to Rs 1,500, if they pay with their Bank of Baroda, Citi, DBS, or HSBC credit cards.
The iPhone 15 was formally unveiled in September at Apple‘s hardware launch. This replaces the iPhone 14 and features some rather major changes, like a 48MP camera, a USB Type-C port, and Dynamic Island.
Given this pricing range, should you currently favor the iPhone 15?
Even if the OnePlus 12 and other great Android phones are available for a similar price range, if someone can afford to spend about Rs 66,000 on an iPhone, they should consider getting the iPhone 15. It is a considerably better device in every way than the iPhone 14.
The latest iPhone, with its inventive punch-hole design, has an even more alluring screen. The display is of outstanding quality with vibrant colors. The camera has significantly improved in terms of color, sharpness, and detail.
With moderate use, one can anticipate about a day’s worth of battery life thanks to improvements in battery life. While the iPhone 15 is an excellent choice for those who are already heavily invested in Apple’s ecosystem, if you already own an iPhone 12 or 13, purchasing the iPhone 15 model will provide the best experience and appeal to those who don’t need the Pro model’s bells and whistles.
It is equipped with a 6-core A16 Bionic Chip, a 15.49 cm (6.1 inch) Super Retina XDR Display, 48MP + 12MP rear cameras, and a 12MP front camera, is a feature-rich device.
There’s also 128GB of RAM available. The iPhone 13 Pro is unique, featuring an A15 Bionic Chip processor, three 12MP rear cameras, a 15.49 cm (6.1 inch) Super Retina XDR Display, and 128GB of RAM.
Android smartphones are not as valuable as iPhones in terms of market value. You will therefore be able to purchase the iPhone 15 for even less money if you decide to sell your old iPhone. You can therefore upgrade to the iPhone 15 for the price of the segment.

NVIDIA has recently introduced price promotions for the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti and RTX 4070 Non SUPER GPUs, which might attract gamers looking for graphics cards in this range.
All About NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti and RTX 4070 Price Drop
A weeks ago the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti GPU was replaced by the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER. Both GPUs were priced at the manufacturer’s suggested price (MSRP). The original RTX 4070 Ti faced criticism, for its performance-to-price ratio offering 12 GB of VRAM at a price of $799 USD. On the other hand, the SUPER variant came with improved specs, including 16 GB of VRAM making it an appealing option and reportedly achieving strong sales in the gaming market.
Though the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti has been replaced there are still models available in the market. In response to this NVIDIA board partners have initiated price reductions and promotions to attract gamers. The first wave of these discounts is now visible with the RTX 4070 Ti Non-SUPER being sold for $699 US on Newegg.
Among the models benefiting from these price reductions are the MSI Ventus 2X variants available, in both white versions. Both models come with specifications and a fan cooling system. The standard OC variant is priced at $699 US while the White OC variant is priced higher at $729 US. This means that the price has been reduced by $100 compared to the manufacturer’s suggested price (MSRP) of $799. We made this decision strategically considering the challenges of maintaining both card’s prices after the release of the SUPER variant.
When it comes to value proposition AMD remains ahead with its Radeon RX 7900 XT GPUs also priced at $699 US. They now offer 20 GB of VRAM and superior performance. Despite NVIDIA’s advantages, in features and efficiency, most people still find the 7900 XT a choice. If you’re looking for a slight performance upgrade the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is an option even though it comes with a $100 USD premium.
On another note, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Non SUPER has also received a price reduction. It is now available at $519 US for the GALAX reference model on Amazon. This model features a fan and dual-slot cooler configuration. Uses a standard 8-pin power connector.
Although the RTX 4070 Non SUPER models haven’t been replaced by the RTX 4070 SUPER they are now priced around $549 US to reflect their MSRP. However, NVIDIA has indicated that gamers can expect to find these cards for less, than that in some cases. There is a possibility that prices might drop to, than $500 USD in the months.
We have news on the Nintendo next fiscal year plans which it will be sharing soon. As the new year of 2024 has begun every gaming studio and company is sharing plans for their new projects or games.
When that’s the case how Nintendo can be left behind, it will be sharing its plans for the next fiscal year soon. And that’s something exciting because we get to know what to expect from Nintendo for the next year.
If you are curious about that, then don’t wander here and there anymore because you are in the right place. In this article, we will be discussing more about Nintendo’s next fiscal year plans. So let’s dive in.
Nintendo Next Fiscal Year Plans
Recently Nintendo has shared the earning charts for the third quarter of their 2024 fiscal year. To be more clear, this time period run from April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024. And as it was reported, the company made good earnings.
These three months were pretty decent for Nintendo and the Nintendo Switch is just some figures away to edging over the PS2. So, we can say that the Switch is doing good enough if it is giving competition to the best – selling console ever by Sony.
Also, the first three quarter of the Fiscal Year 2024 have set a sales record for the company. It is to bring about $2.8 billion, which is a pretty huge sum. Although no one knows how they are going to do it, or will they really be able to achieve this target.
However, we do have one more topic to ponder over, what about the upcoming projects. There are already rumours mushrooming on the online platforms that Switch’s successor is coming down this year.
However, till now, Nintendo hasn’t shared any words about the new successor to the Switch or announced any release window. That is why we have to take this rumour with a grain of salt.
The rumours are more likely to be confirmed soon, as the cadence of their publishing seems to suggest the same. However if you are looking for any news on the earnings briefing, then there will be no luck.
Even the President of Nintendo, Shuntaro Furukawa has kept his lips sealed. And he doesn’t share what might be coming down to the players. However, that’s not all, and he did provide a hint about when we can get more news.
In a recent statement about the Nintendo’s next fiscal year plans, he said that the Switch will continue to be the company’s “main business”. This will remain the case as we all head into 2024. He further said that Nintendo next fiscal year plans will be shared during their next Q4 2024 earnings briefing.
But then again, the Fiscal Year 2024 is going to end on March 31, and Nintendo has reported their Q4 earnings in the month of May. So we can expect to get some more news about the Nintendo next fiscal year plans in the meantime.
Earlier reports suggested that Google would take an approach, with the Tensor G4 aiming for it to be a modified version of the Tensor G3. The plan is for it to have the GPU. Updated CPU cores. This system on a chip (SoC) is expected to power the Pixel 9 Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel Fold 2 which are scheduled for release this year. Recently a purported Geekbench listing has surfaced, providing some insight into its specifications.
All About the Google Tensor G4
On Geekbench, the Tensor G4 has made its appearance alongside a device codenamed “Google Tokay.” It’s not clear yet which of the three aforementioned devices this SoC is intended for. However, since there is always a possibility of manipulation in Geekbench listings there could be doubts about its authenticity.
Upon examination of the Geekbench listing details it seems likely to be genuine. The listing mentions an Arm Mali G715 GPU and an octa-core configuration with one Cortex X4/X5 core clocked at 3.1 GHz three Cortex A7xx cores at 2.6 GHz, four Cortex A5xx cores at 1.95 GHz along with 8 GB of RAM.
At a glance, these specifications might seem puzzling as they depict the Tensor G4 as an eight-core chip compared to its predecessor, the Tensor G3 which had nine CPU cores. Typically, in upgraded components like these, we expect an increase in core count, rather than a reduction.
Additionally, the performance of the Tensor G4 (1,082 in single-core and 3,121 in multi-core tests) is slightly lower compared to the Tensor G3 (1,268/3,510) according to Geekbench scores. It is worth noting that this discrepancy may be due, to the fact that the tested Tensor G4 model is a release sample.
Previously disclosed information indicated that the Tensor G4 would be manufactured using Samsung’s 4LPP+ node, the same one utilized by the Exynos 2400. Thus far, the Exynos SoC has demonstrated competitiveness with flagship offerings from Qualcomm and MediaTek, raising curiosity about the Tensor G4’s performance. Those anticipating a more substantial performance boost may need to await the Tensor G5, purportedly developed entirely by Google on an unspecified TSMC node.
WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker has made an unexpected transition from Wrestlemania to the Saudi Pro League spotlight. His presence added a remarkable twist to the Riyadh Season Cup Final showdown between Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal.

In a truly extraordinary moment, the seven-time world champion revived memories of his illustrious wrestling career by recreating his iconic ring walk before kick-off. Sporting his renowned ‘deadman’ attire, it marked the first time he had appeared in this garb since officially declaring his retirement in 2020.
Accompanied by dazzling lightning visuals illuminating the stadium and an array of pyrotechnic displays, the individual who famously boasted a 21-0 record at Wrestlemania stirred both excitement among the live audience and bewilderment online. Yet, the reasoning behind his appearance just before the kick-off has since been clarified.
The Undertaker Adds WWE Flair to Riyadh Season Cup Presentation as Al-Hilal Clinch Victory Against Al-Nassr
The Undertaker fulfilled his role of presenting the Riyadh Season Cup to the victorious team, Al-Hilal, who secured a 2-0 victory in the match. Had Al-Nassr emerged triumphant, he would have potentially handed the trophy to Captain Cristiano Ronaldo, but Al-Nassr’s hopes were dashed by the 2-0 loss.
Mark Callaway, known as The Undertaker in the WWE universe, was slated to present the trophy to the winning team at the conclusion of the game, explaining his unexpected appearance.
While the choice to involve a WWE superstar in such a capacity might seem unconventional, The Undertaker enjoys immense popularity in Saudi Arabia, having participated in numerous high-profile matches in the country since WWE began hosting events there in 2018.
Excitement over The Undertaker’s presence extended beyond the fans; a clip circulated showing Cristiano Ronaldo seemingly captivated by the spectacle unfolding right before him.
The highly anticipated Riyadh Season Cup final between Saudi rivals Al-Hilal SFC and Al-Nassr FC concluded on Thursday with a thrilling victory for Al-Hilal, adding another chapter to their storied football rivalry.
Played at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Al-Hilal emerged triumphant with a 2-0 win over Al-Nassr.

The opening goal came from the boot of Serbian player Sergej Milinković-Savić in the 17th minute, setting the tone for a gripping encounter.
The second goal was secured by local talent Salem Aldawsari, further solidifying Al-Hilal’s dominance in the match.
Part of the government-sponsored annual festival, the Riyadh Season Cup showcased two prominent city-based teams alongside the invited Inter Miami.
Earlier in the tournament, Al-Hilal faced off against the US club, securing a hard-fought 4-3 victory.

Reflecting on past encounters, Al-Nassr claimed a memorable 2-1 win in extra time with 10 men in their previous final clash, with Ronaldo netting twice and securing their inaugural Arab Club Champions Cup title in August.
However, Al-Hilal has dominated recent matchups, winning six out of the last eight encounters. With their latest triumph on Thursday, Al-Hilal extends their winning streak to seven victories against Al-Nassr.
Ronaldo’s Frustration Escalates in Riyadh Season Cup Final Amid Messi Chants
Cristiano Ronaldo’s performance in the Riyadh Season Cup final against Al-Hilal was marred by frustration and controversy, as the Portuguese star found himself the target of Lionel Messi chants from the opposing fans. Caught on camera, Ronaldo was visibly irritated by the chants and was seen making an indecent gesture towards Al-Hilal and their supporters as he left the pitch.
Throughout the match, Ronaldo struggled to make an impact, despite playing the full 90 minutes. Despite attempting four shots, only one troubled Al-Hilal goalkeeper Yassine Bonou.
Ronaldo’s frustrations boiled over on several occasions, as he was caught offside three times and received a yellow card for dissent after disputing a free-kick decision in Al-Hilal’s favor.
However, it was Ronaldo’s reaction to the Messi chants that garnered the most attention. In a video captured by a fan in the arena, Ronaldo could be seen angrily responding to the chants, asserting, “I am here now. Not Messi.”
Ronaldo’s Controversial Gesture Mars Riyadh Season Cup Final Amidst Missed Messi Showdown
In another incident captured by a fan inside the stadium, Cristiano Ronaldo was seen directing an inappropriate gesture towards Al-Hilal and their supporters. As Ronaldo exited the pitch, a couple of Al-Hilal scarves were thrown towards him. The Al-Nassr star picked up one of the scarves and gestured towards his crotch area before discarding it.

The anticipated matchup between Ronaldo and Messi during the Riyadh Season Cup was derailed by Ronaldo’s injury, leading to disappointment among fans hoping for a final showdown between the footballing icons. Instead, Al-Nassr secured a resounding 6-0 victory over Inter Miami in the match.
Looking ahead, Ronaldo and Al-Nassr will shift their focus to the upcoming AFC Champions League Round of 16 clash.
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is poised to depart from the Parc des Princes after facing obstacles in their attempt to purchase the stadium, according to club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi. The Paris mayor’s decision to block the sale has prompted PSG to explore alternative options for a new home, with four potential venues under consideration.

Al-Khelaifi expressed frustration with the situation, stating, “It’s too easy to say now that the stadium is not for sale anymore. We know what we want, we wasted years to try and buy it. It’s easier for us now, we know what we want. It’s over for us. We want to move out of the Parc.”
This development coincides with PSG’s anticipation of losing star player Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid when his contract expires in the summer.
Parc des Princes Saga: PSG’s Quest for a New Home Amidst Paris City Council’s Refusal to Sell
Last year, PSG announced their intention to explore alternative options for a new home following Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo’s statement that the Parc des Princes stadium was not available for sale—a stance affirmed by City Hall on Tuesday.

Pierre Rabadan, Paris’s deputy mayor for sports, emphasized the city’s position, stating, “A sale is not desirable, because that would be a decision with no turning back… That’s why we have to rule out the sale of the Parc today. We don’t want to sell off Paris’ legacy.”
Since 1974, the Parc des Princes has served as PSG’s home ground, established four years after the club’s founding. Despite efforts by the club, backed by affluent Qatari investor QSI, to secure ownership of the stadium, eight years of negotiations concluded with the Paris city council’s decision to confirm that the Parc des Princes will not be sold. As a result, PSG must now seek alternative options for their future venue.
Exploring Alternatives: PSG’s Pursuit of a New Stadium Amid Financial Commitments
In January, PSG disclosed that they had already allocated over 85 million euros ($92 million) for stadium maintenance expenditures. Additionally, the club expressed its commitment to invest an additional 500 million euros in renovations to enhance competitiveness at the highest level in European football.

However, in light of the recent developments regarding the unavailability of the Parc des Princes for sale, PSG has shifted its focus towards finding a new venue. Although the club has not specified a deadline for its relocation, reports indicate that PSG is actively exploring potential stadium options in the area.
Among the options being considered, the 20,000-capacity Stade Jean-Bouin stands out as a prime contender. Owned by the City of Paris and situated in close proximity to the Parc des Princes, it presents a viable alternative for PSG’s future home ground.

Currently, Stade Jean-Bouin serves as the home ground for PSG’s women’s team, while also hosting rugby and American football matches. This multipurpose facility provides PSG with a potential interim solution while they search for a permanent venue.
A second option under consideration is the government-owned Stade Sebastien Charlety, boasting a capacity of 20,000 seats. Although currently utilized by Paris FC, PSG envisions demolishing the stadium to erect a new facility capable of accommodating up to 75,000 spectators.

Another prospective site is the Paris La Defense Arena, boasting a capacity of 30,000 seats and serving as the home ground for rugby team Racing 92. However, Racing 92 is expected to return to their refurbished Yves-Du-Manoir stadium post-Olympic Games.
Alternatively, PSG may contemplate constructing a new stadium near their training camp in Poissy. Nevertheless, this option presents logistical challenges, given its location approximately 15.5 miles from the heart of Paris. Despite the potential obstacles, it remains among the possibilities for PSG’s future home.
The upcoming summer transfer window is poised to ignite excitement among Real Madrid fans as the club braces for potential roster enhancements. Despite enduring a winter period without reinforcements, compounded by depth issues and injuries, the anticipation mounts for significant moves in the coming months. Amidst swirling speculation surrounding a potential acquisition of Kylian Mbappe, Real Madrid’s strategic vision extends beyond attacking prowess.
Evidently, Real Madrid is meticulously crafting a team geared for both immediate success and long-term sustainability. However, scrutiny falls on the defensive lineup, which appears to lag behind in terms of development and rejuvenation.

With the exception of Eder Militao, identifying a defensive stalwart with enduring potential within the current squad proves challenging. Seasoned campaigners such as Antonio Rudiger, Nacho, David Alaba, and Dani Carvajal have all surpassed the age threshold of 30, raising concerns about the team’s defensive longevity. Furthermore, uncertainties loom over Ferland Mendy’s future at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Consequently, Real Madrid may prioritize bolstering their defensive ranks during the upcoming transfer window. Several promising defenders have reportedly caught the club’s attention, indicating a concerted effort to fortify the backline for sustained success.
Real Madrid’s Top 3 Transfer Targets for Next Summer Confirmed
According to reports from MARCA, Real Madrid has already outlined its primary targets for the upcoming summer transfer window, with three notable names on the radar: Kylian Mbappe, Alphonso Davies, and Lenny Yoro.
FILE PHOTO: Soccer Football – Bundesliga – Bayern Munich v VfB Stuttgart – Allianz Arena, Munich, Germany – May 8, 2022 Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies in action REUTERS/Heiko Becker/File Photo
Among these targets, Alphonso Davies has been a subject of ongoing speculation regarding a potential move to Real Madrid. With his exceptional talent and versatility, Davies could emerge as the ideal long-term solution for the left-back position at the club. Should Bayern Munich fail to secure a contract extension with the Canadian international in the near future, they may entertain the prospect of his departure.
Meanwhile, Lenny Yoro has rapidly ascended through the ranks at Lille, earning comparisons to the likes of Raphael Varane. Dubbed as the ‘Next Raphael Varane,’ the young defender’s promising trajectory has attracted significant attention, with reports suggesting that a transfer fee in the region of €60 million could secure his services.
How Leny Yoro Will Help Improve Real Madrid
Leny Yoro presents an exciting prospect for Real Madrid’s defensive line, especially considering the aging profile of some of their current center-backs. At just 18 years old, Yoro already possesses the physical attributes coveted in a top-tier center-back, standing tall at 6’2″ with impressive pace and long legs. These natural traits, coupled with his burgeoning technical skills, suggest he could be a valuable asset for Real Madrid’s future.
Yoro’s passing abilities, which rank him among the top 15% of center-backs in the top 5 leagues, offer a glimpse into his potential to contribute to Madrid’s possession-based style of play. Furthermore, his prowess in aerial duels and goal-scoring ability, with three goals in all competitions, underscore his multifaceted skill set.

However, it’s worth noting that Yoro’s relative inexperience may manifest in challenges against physically dominant forwards, particularly in more competitive leagues like the Premier League or Bundesliga. This suggests that while Yoro has immense potential, a gradual transition into the top level of professional football may be prudent.
Nevertheless, Real Madrid could benefit from Yoro’s development over time, as his decision-making and defensive acumen continue to evolve with experience. His progressive passing and ball-carrying abilities may improve further with game-time, ultimately enhancing his effectiveness in orchestrating build-up play from the back.
While the allure of lucrative offers from abroad may beckon, Yoro’s loyalty to Lille, where he has developed his skills, could serve as a testament to his character and gratitude towards the club. Ultimately, Yoro possesses the raw talent and work ethic necessary to potentially become one of the world’s premier center-backs, making him a compelling prospect for Real Madrid’s defensive rebuild.
How Kylian Mbappe Will Help Improve Real Madrid
Kylian Mbappe’s potential move to Real Madrid has been the subject of widespread speculation and anticipation among football enthusiasts. Should the transfer materialize, Mbappe’s addition to Real Madrid’s squad would undoubtedly bolster the team’s attacking prowess and overall quality in several key areas.
First and foremost, Mbappe brings a wealth of experience and success at the highest level of European football. Having excelled with Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1 and made significant contributions in the UEFA Champions League, Mbappe would inject a winning mentality and confidence into Real Madrid’s dressing room. His track record of delivering in crucial moments, including his performances in major tournaments such as the FIFA World Cup, underscores his ability to thrive under pressure.

Tactically, Mbappe’s versatility and dynamic playing style make him a potent threat in various attacking positions. Whether deployed as a central striker, a wide forward, or even in a withdrawn role behind the striker, Mbappe’s blistering pace, exceptional dribbling ability, and clinical finishing would offer Real Madrid a multifaceted attacking option. His ability to stretch defenses with his speed and exploit spaces behind opposition backlines could unlock new dimensions in Real Madrid’s offensive play, providing additional avenues for goal-scoring opportunities.
Moreover, Mbappe’s arrival would not only enhance Real Madrid’s attacking options but also potentially catalyze the development of young talents within the squad. His work ethic, professionalism, and dedication to continuous improvement serve as a positive influence on teammates, particularly younger players looking to learn and grow alongside a footballing superstar of Mbappe’s caliber.
Off the pitch, Mbappe’s marketability and global appeal would undoubtedly benefit Real Madrid from a commercial standpoint. His status as one of the most recognizable and marketable athletes in the world would amplify the club’s brand and generate increased revenue streams through merchandise sales, sponsorship deals, and enhanced global exposure.
How Alphonso Davies Will Help Improve Real Madrid
Alphonso Davies‘ rumored move to Real Madrid has ignited excitement and speculation among football enthusiasts and madridistas alike, with many eager to witness how the Canadian sensation could elevate the Spanish giants to new heights.
Davies’ rise to prominence at Bayern Munich has been nothing short of meteoric. Despite his tender age, he has already established himself as one of the most electrifying full-backs in world football. Blessed with lightning pace, exceptional dribbling skills, and a tireless work rate, Davies epitomizes the modern full-back prototype, capable of seamlessly transitioning from defense to attack with precision and flair.

At Real Madrid, Davies’ arrival would provide tactical flexibility and dynamism to the team’s defensive setup. His ability to maraud down the flanks and provide overlapping runs would offer a potent attacking outlet, stretching opposing defenses and creating space for his teammates in the final third. Additionally, Davies’ defensive attributes, including his speed, agility, and tenacity in one-on-one situations, would bolster Real Madrid’s backline and provide added defensive security.
Furthermore, Davies’ versatility adds another dimension to his value as a potential Real Madrid player. Capable of operating as both a left-back and a left-sided midfielder, Davies offers tactical versatility and adaptability, allowing Real Madrid manager to deploy him in various roles based on the team’s specific needs and match dynamics.
Off the pitch, Davies’ infectious personality and compelling backstory resonate with fans worldwide, making him not just a footballer but a cultural icon.
