iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max Being Sold at Premium of Up to Rs 20,000 Above Official Price: Report

iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max were launched in India earlier this month, and the company's latest flagship handsets are reportedly being sold at a much higher premium compared to the official retail prices of both models. According to recent reports, demand for the latest iPhone 15 handsets is high in several markets — including India. This has pushed the deliveries of the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max to November in some markets, according to recent reports.

While the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max went on sale in India and global markets for the first time on September 22, the company's smartphones are currently out of stock from various authorised retailers across the country. News 18 reports that these handsets are being sold at a premium — over and above their original retail prices.

Phone calls made to retailers in cities like Delhi, Jaipur, and Thane by the publication revealed that the iPhone 15 Pro Max Natural Titanium variant with 256GB of storage was on sale for Rs. 20,000 over the MRP of Rs. 1,59,900. Similarly, the iPhone 15 Pro Titanium Blue model with 256GB of inbuilt storage was Rs. 1,51,000 — or Rs. 6,000 more than the price set by Apple.

The price of the iPhone 15 Pro in Jaipur was Rs. 8,000 higher than the retail price of the handset in India, according to the report. Meanwhile, the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which costs Rs. 1,99,900 in India for the 1TB variant, is reportedly available for Rs. 2,32.000 via a retailer in Thane, Maharashtra.

Earlier this month, TF Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claimed that Apple was facing production challenges with the iPhone 15 Pro Max amid "robust" demand for the phone. At the time, Kuo stated that the challenges related to producing the iPhone 15 Pro Max were "more pronounced" than the other models. The iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max went on sale in India and global markets on September 22, ten days after the company launched the handsets at its 'Wonderlust' event on September 12.

Samsung Galaxy A05s Spotted on Google Play Console; Design, Key Specifications Tipped

Samsung Galaxy A05s is likely to hit the markets soon. The handset had recently surfaced online. It is expected to succeed the Samsung Galaxy A04s, which was released in October 2022 with an octa-core chipset and a 5,000mAh battery. CAD renders of the purported phone were leaked previously. Leaks regarding a Galaxy A05 model also have been reported in the past few weeks, which is expected to succeed the Galaxy A04 handset. A Google Play Console listing has now hinted at the imminent launch of the Galaxy A05s.

In a report, MySmartPrice claims that the Galaxy A05s with the codename a05ssnndxx has been spotted on Google Play Console. The phone is expected to support 6GB of RAM and is expected to be powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 SoC paired with an Adreno 610 GPU.

According to the listing, the Galaxy A05s is expected to launch in four variants, which are listed with the model numbers SM-A057F, SM-A057G, SM-E145F, and SM-M145F. The image shared on the platforms informs that the handset will be offered in a green colourway, likely also with other options. 

Overall, the design language of the handset remains more or less unchanged over the Galaxy A04s. At the back, the triple camera units are seen vertically arranged in the top left corner of the device alongside a circular LED flash unit. The front panel is seen with slim side bezels, a prominent chin and a centre-aligned waterdrop notch to house the selfie camera.

The listing also suggests that the Galaxy A05s will likely sport a full-HD+ resolution (1080 x 2400 pixels) display and ship with  Android 13-based OneUI 5.1. An earlier leak suggested that the handset will have a 6.6-inch screen. It could pack a 4,000mAh battery with 25W fast charging support. The phone has also been tipped to measure around 167.9 x 77.7 x 8.8mm. The Galaxy A05s is expected to feature a side-mounted fingerprint sensor for security.

Crypto-Related Street Art Gaining Popularity in Europe, Aiming to Stir Awareness

Europe, where the rules overseeing the crypto sector have been pronounced clearly under the MiCA legislation — is seeing an artsy crypto awareness drive shaping up along the empty boundary and building walls within its territory. A group of street artists came together in January this year to form a group called ‘Street Cy₿er', dedicated specifically to stir awareness and discussions around this relatively new fintech sector, which is also currently infamous for its volatility and lack of rules that govern it outside of the European Union (EU).

Over a hundred members make up this Street Cy₿er group. These members include people from the artist, journalist, academician, and activist communities spread across the EU region. A CoinTelegraph report said on September 25.

Street art related to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, initiated by this group, has surfaced in Barcelona, London, Berlin, Madrid, Prague, Riga (Latvia), and Tallin (Estonia) in the last nine months between January and September this year.

“Street art is also a way to bypass the traditional media, which is often controlled by powerful interests. The symbiosis between street art and Bitcoin is a powerful one. Bitcoin is a peaceful way to protest against the state and its policies. It is a way to opt out of the traditional financial system [and] escape the tyranny of the state,” the report has quoted representatives of Street Cy₿er as saying.

While some of this group's work is inclined towards making political statements, the other part only includes having fun with crypto-themed paintings and stickers, including famous cartoon characters.

On X (formerly Twitter), the group flaunts a verified handle with over three thousand followers. Pictures of these pro-crypto artworks are often posted via this handle that claims to be ‘Raising awareness about Bitcoin'.

GM #Bitcoin is more than just digital money. It is a culture, it is art and a movement that promotes peace and freedom.

This artsy crypto awareness drive comes when the EU is now looking to make its region a haven for Web3 industry players. It passed the Mica legislation earlier this year and plans to enforce it completely by the end of 2024.

The Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) framework largely revolves around consumer protection and prevention of market manipulation and financial crimes in the crypto sector. The MiCA bill aims to prevent insider dealing, unlawful disclosure of inside information, and market manipulation related to crypto-assets.

Last year, European nations clocked 98.5 million crypto users, up from 71.5 million users that were recorded the year before.

Bitcoin Price at $26,200 Trades in Losses, Most Altcoins Reflect Dips on Crypto Chart

Bitcoin on Monday, September 25, recorded a loss of 1.38 percent. At the time of writing, the value of Bitcoin stood at the price point of $26,207 (roughly Rs. 21.7 lakh). The most expensive cryptocurrency has largely traded between the price marks of $23,000 (roughly Rs. 19 lakh) to $28,000 (roughly Rs. 23 lakh). Around Friday last week, the value of Bitcoin slipped below the mark of $27,000 (roughly Rs. 22.4 lakh). Most cryptocurrencies recorded price dips today alongside Bitcoin.

"Bitcoin remained above the $26,000 mark (roughly Rs. 50,000) despite stock market declines and a stronger US dollar, indicating its resilience. From a technical standpoint, Bitcoin's price action is currently influenced by two key levels: the 200-weekly Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $24,700 (roughly Rs. 20.5 lahks), which could provide support, and the 200-weekly Simple Moving Average (SMA) at $27,800 (roughly Rs. 23 lakh), which may act as resistance. These levels are expected to play significant roles in shaping Bitcoin's price movement in the coming weeks,"

Ether incurred a loss of 0.95 percent as the asset stepped into the trading arena for the last week in September. The price of ETH at this point stands at $1,577 (roughly Rs. 1.31 lakh). The second-most valuable cryptocurrency after BTC, ETH tumbled under the mark of $1,600 (roughly Rs. 1.32 lakh) last Friday and has not managed to recover yet.

Tether, Binance Coin, Ripple, USD Coin, Dogecoin, Cardano, and Solana recorded losses on Monday.

Polkadot, Polygon, Litecoin, Shiba Inu, Bitcoin Cash, and Chainlink also registered dips alongside BTC and ETH.

The overall crypto sector valuation dropped by one percent in the last 24 hours to reach a capitalisation of $1.04 trillion (roughly Rs. 86,38,515 crore), as per CoinMarketCap.

Alternatively, jumping between the neutral and the fear zone over the weekend, the fear and greed index is back in the neutral zone with a score of 47/100.

A very small number of cryptocurrencies recorded profits today. These include Monero, Near Protocol, Iota, NEM, BurgerCities, and Gas.

"The overall trend in the crypto market continues to be down, with bearish sentiments, particularly after the remarks from the Feds. The market is expecting BTC volatility to see an uptick as Bitcoin options worth $3 billion (roughly Rs. 28265 crore) expire on September 29," Parth Chaturvedi, Investments Lead, CoinSwitch Ventures told Gadgets 360.

iPhone 15 Pro vs iPhone 14 Pro: iPhone Users Should Consider Using a Case After Watching This Drop Test Video

iPhone 15 Pro and last year's iPhone 14 Pro have been pitted against each other in a new drop test that measures how durable Apple's premium devices are. The drop test video shared by YouTuber Sam Kohl shows that the iPhone 14 Pro was able to better withstand the drop test than the latest iPhone 15 Pro. The latest iPhone's black glass shattered at the fifth drop whereas the iPhone 14 Pro stayed almost in perfect condition until the final drop. This year's iPhone 15 Pro has rounded titanium edges replacing its predecessor's stainless steel material. Read on to find out how the iPhone 15 Pro and its predecessor performed in the drop tests.

AppleTrack's Sam Kohl has released a 13-minute video on YouTube that covers drop tests in multiple rounds to rigorously examine how well the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro sustain drops from different heights. The YouTuber threw two phones from the waist height initially and they turned out alright without any notable scratches. The iPhone 15 Pro got cracks at the rear panel at the fifth drop and the rear camera panel started showing dings and scratches at level six. However, the iPhone 14 Pro did not take any damage even in the sixth drop.

The video highlights that rounded titanium edges cannot resist the shattering of the latest device. The back and edge of the iPhone 15 are seen as more prone to damage than that of the iPhone 14 Pro. It could be due to the fact that the iPhone 14 Pro has a stainless steel frame, whereas the new device comes with a new titanium covering.

Successive drops caused increasing degrees of damage to the back panel and edges of the iPhone 15 Pro. In fact, its bottom display malfunctioned and became unusable at the 13th drop when it was thrown from a height of about 15 feet. The iPhone 14 Pro held up well while being dropped on a concrete surface at this level with no visible cracks on the screen or rear glass.

At the end of the drop test, the entire rear camera module of the Phone 15 Pro shattered and detached from the device's body in the 14th drop. The iPhone 14 Pro, on the other hand, remained functional even though it cracked fully at the front and back. Even after multiple drops the camera was working fine on the iPhone 14 Pro without any mere cracks on the camera island and its display was responding perfectly to touch inputs. The YouTuber notes that the iPhone 14 Pro survived way better than the iPhone 15 Pro.

You can watch the drop-test video below:

 

However, a drop test cannot decide whether a device is durable or not. The iPhone 15 Pro is currently up for sale in India and another 40 countries across the globe. As the new device reaches more hands in the coming days, users can analyse if the titanium construction is a better choice. 

The iPhone 15 Pro's price starts at Rs. 1,39,900 for the base 128GB storage model in India. It is currently up for sale in the country via Apple's online store, Apple BKC, Saket, e-commerce websites, and official retail outlets.
