Apple’s USB-C Earpods for the upcoming iPhone 15 

Apple is apparently developing wired EarPods with a USB-C connector as a replacement for the AirPods.Prior to the release of the iPhone 15 series.A global charging standard, USB-C, was mandated under new rules adopted by the European Union in October 2022. The iPhone 15 may accept USB-C because it is one of the covered devices and the law went into force on that date. Future iPhones from the Cupertino-based tech titan are already anticipated to enable USB Type-C connectivity. Apple still offers wired earphones that either include a Lightning connector or an adapter for the 3.5mm headphone port. Their use has been less widespread than that of the tech company’s wireless AirPods, which debuted in 2016. Why USB-C Earpods? As part of the Made for iPhone (MFi) certification program, Apple approves accessories, sells certain parts, and provides a chip to companies for authentication. It’s a way for Apple to ensure that accessories that connect to its iPhone meet quality standards. ShrimpApplePro, who has a good track record for Apple leaks, tweeted about such accessories, including EarPods with a USB-C connector. ShrimpApplePro says that USB-C MFi cables and a new version of EarPods are in mass production. Apple may release them…

Apple BKC-India’s first Apple Store is arriving in Mumbai. 

Apple’s entry into the Indian market has been a long time coming, as the company has faced several challenges in the past. One of the biggest challenges was the country’s stringent regulations on foreign retailers, which made it difficult for Apple to establish a retail presence in India. However, in 2019, the Indian government relaxed its rules on foreign retailers, paving the way for Apple to expand its retail operations in the country. The iPhone maker on Wednesday released a picture of the barricade of its first retail store in India, called Apple BKC, situated at Jio World Drive Mall in the country’s financial capital of Mumbai. On Wednesday, Mumbai, April 6, unveiled the design of its first retail location in India as a  number of onlookers rushed to catch a peek of the store’s black and yellow artwork, which was inspired by Mumbai’s iconic taxis.

The store is spread across two floors and covers a total area of 20,000 square feet.

“Fairly Extensive Update”  Apple watchOS X or watchOS 10 

Apple’s future watchOS 10 software will run on several Apple Watch models. The new Apple Watch Ultra has increased the smartwatch market’s accessibility, and the upcoming watchOS release is anticipated to expand existing functionality to additional locales as well as provide new features for Ultra users. Apple follows the pattern and will use the name watchOS 10 for watchOS 9’s replacement.  Although 2023 marks the tenth update to the Apple Watch operating system, Apple is unlikely to call it WatchOS X. With Apple’s WWDC 2023 now official, we’re beginning to get an inkling of what to expect on the software side across Apple’s platforms. The latest tip comes from none other than Mark Gurman, who believes that watchOS 10 should be getting a fairly extensive upgrade this year with notable changes to the user interface. Mark Gurman, tweeted that he believes watchOS 10 might have much more notable changes as compared to what’s expected from iOS 17. In addition, Gurman says that these operating system features should compensate for a mild year of hardware updates as the Apple Watch already had its “big moment” with the Apple Watch Ultra in 2022.watchOS 9 introduced a bunch of design changes and new features such as low-power mode and continues to receive feature updates with subsequent iterations.
