Following Purnia, Amit Shah would meet in Kishanganj alongside BJP MPs, MLAs, plus core committee members to develop a plan for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Following Purnia, Amit Shah will meet in Kishanganj with BJP MPs, MLAs, as well as core members of the committee to develop a plan for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

Amit Shah would start the Seemanchal trip with a rally at Purnia, where the representation of the PFI has been growing alongside other areas including Kishanganj, Purnia, Katihar, and Araria, starting the party’s 2024 Lok Sabha election campaign throughout the area.

Amit Shah, a prominent member of the BJP as well as the Union Home Minister, is scheduled to visit the Seemanchal area of Bihar on Friday. This visit will be closely watched in light of recent NIA raids against the Popular Front of India within the districts of Purnia as well as Araria as well as other places in other states.

Amit Shah would start the Seemanchal visit with a rally in Purnia, in which the representation of the PFI has been growing along with other areas including Kishanganj, Purnia, Katihar, as well as Araria. This event will serve as the beginning of the party’s regional 2024 Lok Sabha election campaign.

Multi-agency teams led by the NIA conducted raids on offices and residences connected to the extremist Islamic group on Thursday, which resulted in the arrest of 106 individuals for allegedly aiding terrorist activities in the nation. Raids were conducted at 93 locations across 15 states.

Siddarth Shambhu, the BJP state vice-president in charge of organising the elections in Purnia, commented on Shah’s visit when asked about voting patterns in Seemanchal versus the rest of Bihar. He stated that Hindus and Muslims have coexisted peacefully for a while, but the problem of undocumented Bangladeshis has caused a significant rift in society. Everyone seems to be doing okay right now, but nobody can foretell what would transpire in 10 to 15 years.

The party anticipates 1 lakh attendees at Amit Shah’s rally in Purnia. Dr. Sanjay Agrawal, the head of the BJP’s state unit, MoS (Home) Nityanand Rai, previous minister Ravishankar Prasad, as well as other top party officials have set up camp in Seemanchal and are inviting residents of neighbouring districts to the gathering.

Following Purnia, Shah would meet in Kishanganj with BJP MPs, MLAs, and core committee members to develop a plan for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

This time, the BJP has shocked its adversaries JD(U) and RJD by starting its campaign within the Seemanchal area. Whenever the party was allied with the JD(U), which just dissolved, it utilised Gandhi Maidan in Patna to kick off its Bihar campaign.

Lallan Singh, the state JD(U) president, also has decided to host a rally at Seemanchal in response to the BJP’s tactics. He claimed that the BJP has been attempting to “pollute” the social and political climate of Bihar while speaking to party members in Patna.

Along with the expansionist threat from China, the influx of unauthorised Bangladeshi migrants has emerged as another electoral issue. The PFI’s expanding presence in the region is likely to make up a significant portion of the election narrative.

Home Minister Amit Shah would visit border regions bordering Nepal and meet with Sashastra Seema Bal officials as well as jawans to combat China’s expansionist ambitions, according to BJP MLC Dilip Jaiswal, who ran for Lok Sabha in 2014 from Kishanganj.

Many interpretations have been made about Amit Shah’s visit, according to renowned educator and social worker Dr. A Imam. He stated Amit Shah is renowned for making significant judgments, and he might announce the region. He added that there has never been intercommunal conflict in Purnia. He claimed, the majority of Bangladeshis who cross into India are engaged in illicit activity. He added that if given the chance to meet with the home minister, he would bring up social and economic problems in the area.

In Bihar, the NDA won 39 of the 40 Lok Sabha seats in 2019, while the BJP won just 17 of them. The Loktantrik Janata Party (LJP) gained six seats to the Janata Dal (United’s 16). Only one seat, Kishanganj, which has a predominance of Muslim voters, was lost by the NDA.

According to draught bill, phone and messaging apps like WhatsApp, Skype, Zoom, Facebook Messenger, Microsoft Teams, Telegram, and Google Duo might soon need licences to function within India.

Declaration by Union Minister

According to Ashwini Vaishnaw, Union Minister, the government intends to enact “Light Touch” rules for Over the Top (OTT) platforms via the Telecom Bill. Additionally, he stated that the changes would give subscribers relief from unwanted messages and calls.

The Union Minister of Communications, Railways and Information Technology stated during a news conference that the measure will serve as a means of user protection.

Mr. Vaishnaw added that the regulation should, if possible, include highly efficient measures for achieving the goal. Wherever necessary, we must enact severe, effective laws; nevertheless, everywhere else, the rules will be straightforward and light-handed, putting everyone at ease. This legislation will serve to protect users.

The Union Minister added that the draught telecom bill is presently being discussed with all interested parties, and noted that the consultation results would be used to create the final document.

Applications needing licences

He stated that applications such as WhatsApp, Facebook, Signal, and Telegram will be governed by the Telecom Bill. The term telecom services in the proposed bill also includes over-the-top (OTT) and communication services.

Based on the draught bill, phone and messaging apps like WhatsApp, Skype, Zoom, Facebook Messenger, Microsoft Teams, Telegram, and Google Duo may soon need licences to function in India.

The Union Minister stated that after the measure is passed, they anticipate a decrease in cyberfrauds.

What did the Union Minister say?

Mr Vaishnaw said, “All of you know that there has been a rise in cases where people get a call saying I am calling from XYZ bank seeking financial details leading to fraud… or you get threats from unknown numbers… so, we have introduced a lot of points for user protection and to prevent cyber fraud.”

The minister added the following while discussing calls made using platforms other than Skype and WhatsApp: “Whichever type of call it is, if someone is calling me, I have the right to know who is calling. This is a right that every user has and has been put into the Act (new bill).”

Benefit of Protection

Users of mobile phones may benefit from this action by being protected from spam calls but also fraudulent communications.

Minister stated that before this bill becomes law, at least 6–10 months will pass. Following the consultation phase, we will draught the final version. After that, it will be sent to the Parliament for review and approval. After it becomes legislation, a decrease in cyber fraud is anticipated.

According to the Union Minister, telecom is the gateway to Digital India and will aid in advancing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s goal step by step.

Statements made in regards to the bill

“Telecom is the entry point of digital India. After that comes data protection. Followed by the Digital India Act. We have to take the vision of the Prime Minister methodically step by step. The two most important points of the Telecom bill are consumer protection and making sure that regulation is very clear in terms of who is doing what and who is affecting whose life,” Mr Vaishnaw said.

Further, Mr. Vaishnaw stated that all of the current laws, restrictions, exemptions, etc. would continue, based on the draught bill. No retroactive changes to the terms and conditions will be made, and all currently held licences, registrations, as well as spectrum would remain in effect.

Mr Vaishnaw stated in his presentation, “Currently India has three laws. Indian Telegraph Act, 1885, Wireless Telegraphy Act, 1932 and Telegraph Wires (Unlawful Possession) Act, 1950. These laws require change now as technology has changed considerably and needs a modern law. We need a specific legal framework for Spectrum, Right of Way, Insolvency, etc.”

According to the Union Minister, the law includes KYC and DND regulations and will enable wireless equipment without a licence.

KYC and DND

Mr. Vaishnaw explained that this proposed law includes requirements for Know Your Customers (KYC), security from unsolicited messages, and Do Not Disturb (DND) registers. To avoid fraud, it renders the caller’s identity accessible to the recipient, while it is the user’s responsibility to provide accurate KYC information.

Draft Bill

“According to the draft bill, wireless equipment no longer requires a license, they only need authorisation. Spectrum will be given through auctions with exceptions for government purposes, which includes defence, transportation, etc” the Union Minister further said.

According to the Union Minister, the government is implementing “Spectrum Reforms” via the bill, that aims to make the best use of the spectrum.

“Through this bill, the government is doing ‘Spectrum Reforms’ like, Spectrum re-farming or re-harmonization, Spectrum sharing, trading, leasing, using Technology agnostic, using unused spectrum to government and surrender of the spectrum. Our focus is on the effective use of spectrum,” Mr Vaishnaw said.

“In this draft, bill offences are updated and archaic provisions have been removed. There is a clear distinction between major offences and routine mistakes. In the bill, compounding provisions are included and cognizable and compoundable are based on the seriousness of the offence,” the Union Minister further said.

The Indian Telegraph Act of 1885, the Indian Wireless Telegraphy Act of 1933, as well as the Telegraph Wires (Unlawful Possession) Act of 1950, are the three statutes that the bill wants to replace. According to the Union Minister, the new telecom law should be in effect within six to ten months.

According to today’s comments from communications minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, the government is not in a rush and the new telecom bill is anticipated to be in place in six to ten months.

Mr. Vaishnaw responded that using the feedback they get, they will draught the final version. He added that the Parliament’s committee processes will subsequently be applied to that text and then it must be submitted to Parliament. He said he estimates a timescale of 6 to 10 months but they are not pressurizing things whenever asked about an implementation schedule for the final measure.

The Department of Telecommunications has created and established 20^th of October to be the due date for the draught bill.

The Indian Telegraph Act of 1885, the Indian Wireless Telegraphy Act of 1933, as well as the Telegraph Wires (Unlawful Possession) Act of 1950, are the three statutes that the bill wants to replace.

However, the bill allows for a continuation of acts taken by the laws that were repealed to provide a seamless transition into the new framework as well as prevent any potential interruption. 

It also stipulates that regulations established under the laws which were abolished would remain in effect until new regulations were created.

What is Bill’s purpose?

• Effective but minimal regulation
• Regulatory assurance
• Strong row mechanism
• User protection
• Fostering employment plus innovation

The receiver will be able to view the caller’s identity under the proposed legislation. Thus, fraud will be avoided.

What the draught Telecom Bill entails and what are the changes it seeks to implement?

Why did the government release a draught of the telecom bill? What are a few of the main changes to the telecom legislation now in effect? Would the proposed Telecom Bill aim to address problems facing the telecom sector as well?

What are a few of the main changes to the telecom legislation now in effect?

One of the most significant changes is the addition of modern over-the-top messaging apps like Signal, WhatsApp, and Telegram to the list of communications services.

According to the draught law, telecom service providers will be subject to the same regulations as other telecom operators and fall under the licencing regime. Since operators had to pay hefty licence and spectrum costs while OTT companies rode on their infrastructure to deliver services for free, telecom service providers have been fighting to create a level playing field with OTT apps for communication services like voice calls, messaging, etc.

Has the administration considered expanding its authority in any other areas?

To lessen the sector watchdog’s role as a recommendatory agency, the Centre is also aiming to alter the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India Act (TRAI Act). The telecom department is required by the existing TRAI Act to consult the regulator before awarding a service provider a fresh licence. This clause is removed from the Draft Bill. The clause that allowed TRAI to ask the government for the data or papers needed to make this suggestion has also been eliminated. The new Bill also seeks to do away with the need that the DoT to refer back proposals for review by TRAI if it is unable to accept them or if they need to be modified.

Vijay Deverakonda’s movie Liger did miserably at the ticket office. The movie’s producers suffered enormous losses, and the trade circles also were quite dissatisfied with the movie’s performance. The movie premiered to negative reviews and was unable to rebound following Day 1’s respectable openings, despite extensive pan-Indian advertising and significant hype.

Liger is currently prepared for OTT distribution. Exact one month well after its theatrical debut, the movie will get its online premiere. Starting on September 22nd, Disney + Hotstar will broadcast the sports action drama. On September 22, Liger would be available in Telugu, Kannada, Tamil, and Malayalam. A future date will see the release of the Hindi version.

Movie fare at theatres

The pan-Indian movie “Liger” starring Vijay Deverakonda has released in theatres on August 25 following a few controversies as well as a string of marketing. Puri Jagannath’s action drama, though, underwhelmed critics and audiences and performed below par on the big screen. The OTT rollout for “Liger,” however, has now been confirmed, which will allow the film’s creators to reach a larger audience.

Vijay Deverakonda’s Liger performed best in north India out of all the markets, bringing in more than 20Cr net plus close to 9Cr share. Ramya Krishnan with Ananya Pandey had major parts in the sports action drama. The movie was co-produced by Puri and Karan Johar. This eagerly awaited pan-Indian initiative was made available in Telugu, Kannada, Tamil, and Hindi in addition to Malayalam.

Just a few minutes past midnight on September 22, the official Disney+ Hotstar Telugu Twitter account tweeted, “Witness @TheDeverakonda in all his Mad Glory, as #LIGER! #LigerOnHotstar Streaming Now,” along with Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, plus Kannada, as well as a movie poster.

What is the Liger movie’s cast list?

Along with Ramya Krishnan, Makarand Deshpande, Ronit Roy, and Vishu Reddy playing significant supporting parts, Liger featured Vijay Deverakonda as well as Ananya Pandey as the key characters.

In the movie, Vijay portrayed an MMA fighter who is the main character. The late boxing great Mike Tyson also makes a cameo appearance in the movie. Ananya Pandey with Vijay Deverakonda made their film debuts in Tollywood as well as Bollywood, respectively, with Liger.

What did Vijay Devarokonda say?

IANS cited Vijay as expressing the following regarding his on-screen persona: The fact that my character in the movie struggles with stammering added appeal. On the one hand, he is the guy who is so physically strong and threatening to others; he is a fighter, yet he is unable to say the three words “I love you” to the girl he loves. It added some subtle humour as well as emotional nuance to his presentation. He said he had trouble getting the appropriate note when we first started filming, but after 3 days, everything came naturally.

In addition to the 2 leads, Mike Tyson, an earlier American professional boxer, makes his Indian film debut within Liger. The movie was funded by Puri Jagannadh and Charmme Kaur under the name of Puri Connects and by Karan Johar below the banner of Dharma Productions. Ramya Krishnan, Makarand Deshpande, and Ronit Roy also had major roles. Vijay Deverakonda made his cinematic debut in Hindi with “Liger.”

About the movie

Action-drama movie “Liger” was made in the Hindi-speaking region by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions. ‘Jyothi Lakshmi’ producer Charmy Kaur, who also provided financial support for the movie, also starred. Puri Jagannadh directed the movie with Ananya Panday as well as Vijay Deverakonda.

Both critics and viewers had conflicting reactions to the movie. On the initial day of its theatrical release, “Liger” was able to earn a worldwide gross worth Rs. 33.12 crores. A young man with his widowed mother Balamani stars in the movie. Balamani traveled to Mumbai from Telangana to witness her son’s national MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) championship. 

Vijay, the hero of “Arjun Reddy,” trained in mixed martial arts in Thailand to prepare for his role in “Liger.” Hindi, as well as Telugu, were both used to simultaneously shoot the movie. Additional to Telugu, Hindi has also been included as a dubbing language for Vijay.

Other works Vijay Devarakonda and Ananya Pandey

In the meantime, Vijay Deverakonda is hard at work filming his latest movie, “Khushi,” which stars Samantha Ruth Prabhu as well as Rashi Khanna. Ayushmann Khurrana and Ananya Panday’s movie, “Dream Girl 2,” is now in production. In Zoya Akhtar’s “Kho Gaye Hum Kahaan,” in which he starred with Siddhant Chaturvedi as well as Adarsh Gourav, the actor just wrapped up filming.

Smirti mandhana dancing on her other amazing feet, mandhana reached her 3000 ODI runs on Wednesday against England. Becomes the fastest Indian to score the massive achievement with only the perks of innings faced.

Smriti mandhana became the fastest Indian woman to score 3000 ODI runs.  She welcomed her massive feet in her 76th ODI innings against England in canterbury.

With this massive achievement, she became the third Indian to have a party in the club fully saturated with legends. She became the seventh leading run scorer in the ODI format with five centuries and 24 half-centuries to her account. 

Smriti mandhana is handshaking with the best player in the world, Australia’s Karen Rolton and South Africa’s Laura Wolvaardt.

In men’s international cricket, Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli had this unforgettable foot in the 50-over format, mandhana entering into the club now.

Shikhar Dhawan took 72 innings to reach 3000 runs, while Virat Kholi completed this in 75 innings. Smriti mandhana reached the milestone in her 76th innings.

A stylish left-handed player, known for her cover drive and on drive always have been reaching the height no one has ever imagined. We have seen, Yuvraj Singh, ben stokes, and now the sir Ravindra Jadeja all have done a wonderful job with the bat and ball.

Mandhana’s contribution isn’t like allrounder but the crucial place she takes to play with some swing option available on bowler’s hand. It is a massive achievement with countless of hard work.

India’s official submission for the 95th Academy Awards seems to be the Gujarati film “Chhello Show,” a due to come drama about a young boy’s love of cinema in such a Saurashtra village, the Film Federation of India (FFI) revealed on Tuesday.

Chhello Show, a Gujarati movie, has been named as India’s official Oscars 2023 entry. On October 14, the movie is scheduled to open in theatres.

India’s official entry for the Oscars in 2023 has been declared by the Film Federation of India. Chhello Show, a Gujarati movie that is known as Last Film Show in English, has now been chosen as India’s official submission for the 95th Academy Awards. It was chosen for the Best Foreign Feature Film category.

It’s official now

India’s official submission for the 2023 Oscars is the Chello show. It’s a done deal! India’s official submission for the Best International Feature Film category of the 95th Academy Awards is really the Gujarati film Last Film Show (Chhello Show). Pan Nalin is the filmmaker of the coming-of-age movie. It has significant roles for Dipen Raval, Bhavin Rabari, Richa Meena, Bhavesh Shrimali, and Paresh Mehta.

At Robert DeNiro’s Tribeca Film Festival, Last Film Show (Chhello Show) seems to have its world premiere as the opening film. Since then, it has won numerous prizes at international film festivals, such as the Golden Spike at the 66th Valladolid Film Festival throughout Spain, where it also found commercial success throughout its theatrical run. In India, Chhello Show will open in theatres on October 14.

Around Chello Show

A 9-year-old child who lives in a remote Indian town and is the focus of the coming-of-age play Chhello Show falls in love with movies. The movie depicts how the little boy passes his summer viewing movies in the projection booth.

Pan Nalin, renowned for movies like Samsara, Angry Indian Goddesses,  and Valley of Flowers, is the film’s director.

World premiere

The Chhello Show seems to have its world premiere as the opening film at the Tribeca Film Festival and went on to win numerous prizes at other international film festivals, such as the Golden Spike at the 66th Valladolid Film Festival in Spain, in which it had commercial success throughout its run in theatres.

Movies that Chello Show has outpassed

The movie outperformed RRR by S.S. Rajamouli, Malayankunju by Sajimon Prabhakar, The Kashmir Files by Vivek Agnihotri, and Shyam Singha Roy by Rahul Sankrityan.

It is the second Gujarati movie to be selected for the prestigious honours, the first being The Good Road in 2013. Vinothraj PS’s Tamil drama Koozhangal (Pebbles), which was India’s official entry for the Oscars last year, didn’t actually make the shortlist.

Lagaan, directed by Ashutosh Gowarikar, was also the last Indian movie to advance to the top five in 2001.

What did director say?

Director Pan Nalin commented in a statement regarding Chhello Show becoming India’s Oscar entry for 202 said that he could have never dreamed that sday would come as well as bring light as well as celebration of light. Although Chhello Show has received support from all across the world, he was left wondering how he could get India to know about it. He said that he can breathe again and believe in the power of entertaining, moving, and enlightening movies! He thanked jury, and FFI.

The Gujarati film, whose October 14, 2022, release date has been set, follows young Samay as he works to achieve his 35mm ambition. The cast of the film includes Dipen Raval, Paresh Mehta, Bhavesh Shrimali, Richa Meena, and Bhavin Rabari. It debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2021.

Other honours

Chhello Show also received the Golden Spike just at October 2021 66th Valladolid International Film Festival. Chhello Show was described as a “coming-of-age narrative” with “an ethereal take on the enchantment of movies” by David Ehrlich of Indiewire.

Review of the movie

Last Film Show, a semi-autobiographical story set in the Gujarat region of India, wherein Nalin was reared, may sound like a cutesy contemporary parody of Cinema Paradiso, however as you are well aware, it draws its influence from a much wider range of sources. Two of them, Sergio Leone as well as (early) Terrence Malick, come to mind as soon as we see 9-year old Samay strolling alongside the railroad tracks which pass by the poor home where his domineering father Bapuji (Dipen Raval) serves tea to customers on the decrepit trains that stop there. Samay is portrayed by Bhavin Rabari, a nine-year-old Gujarati boy who is precocious and compelled to watch and who has a lot in common with his character. Samay really doesn’t understand what cinema is at the beginning of the film, but his life is already stuffed full of it.

The US Federal Reserve’s hike in interest rates and its hawkish posture weighed on the market mood, which caused the rupee to fall 51 paise to a record low of 80.47 versus the dollar in early trade on Thursday.

The local currency has been trading at 80.47 versus the dollar at the interbank foreign exchange, dropping to 51 paise from its earlier estimate. In the first trades, the rupee hit a record low against the dollar of 80.47.

The local currency, according to forex traders, was hurt by the strength of the American dollar on the international market, a flat domestic equity market, risk-off sentiments, and robust crude oil prices.

Falling Rupee Value

On Wednesday, the rupee depreciated 22 paise and finished the day at 79.96 against the mighty dollar. The US Federal Reserve increased the interest rate by 75 fundamental points to 3.25%. This was the 3rd consecutive increase of 75 basis points. Fed Chair Jerome Powell reiterated the Fed’s commitment to keeping inflation under control at his news conference.

According to IFA Global Research Academy, the Reserve Bank of India may also attempt to modify its intervention function in light of the widespread dollar strength. On Thursday, we’re most likely to witness a range of 80.10 to 80.50.

One of the biggest improvements for this year’s Apple product is the new camera system just on iPhone 14 Pro, that for the first time uses a 48-megapixel sensor for the primary lens.

Apple, a leading provider of consumer electronics, has said that this is developing a software upgrade for the iPhone 14 Pro as well as Pro Max that would correct a when utilising some third-party apps, a flaw which causes the phone’s back camera to shake.

The iPhone manufacturer promised to release a patch for the camera shaking issues on their iPhone 14 Pro as well as Pro Max devices by the end of the following week.

Declaration by Apple

According to American tech giant Apple, a patch for the camera shaking problem that certain users are experiencing on their iPhone 14 Pro as well as Pro Max smartphones would obtainable by the conclusion of the following week.

The new cameras on the iPhone 14 Pro as well as iPhone 14 Pro Max phones reportedly have a problem with third-party apps which makes their focusing or OIS systems go crazy and vibrate erratically. This is as per GSM Arena. Apple is aware of the issue and is developing a solution.

This problem renders the video taken with the smartphone’s camera useless, and worse, it could even harm the device’s hardware. The iPhone 14 as well as 14 Plus models, however, do not appear to be impacted by this issue.

As Apple’s own camera app functions properly, it is likely a software problem instead of a hardware one since it only impacts third-party cameras. It’s most likely a fault with the camera API, as installed apps will not be able to make your camera malfunction, according to GSM Arena.

Apple has stated that a remedy will be available the following week, thus those users will have to wait until then, according to GSM Arena. (ANI)

Launch date and Stablizing issues

After the iPhone 14 Pro as well as Pro Max were introduced on September 7, various consumers posted complaints about the camera problem on social media. The problem, as per to the Bloomberg news agency, is caused in some instances by third-party programmes that interfere with the optical image stabilisation hardware.

Although users have reported that the bug interferes with camera functionality in social media applications like Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, it doesn’t seem to have an impact on Apple’s built-in camera.

What is the root of the iPhone 14 Pro models’ camera problem?

When customers of the iPhone 14 Pro as well as Pro Max first discovered the fault, it wasn’t immediately evident what was causing it. It was unclear whether the problem was with iOS 16 as a whole or simply the third-party apps as the camera appeared to function properly with Apple’s official app. Now that Apple has announced a patch to address this issue, it’s possible that the issue lies with the iPhone’s APIs rather than with any third-party applications.

Apple’s statement left open the question of what was generating this issue, but rumours indicated that it was a fault with the phone’s optical image stabilisation technology, which moves the camera’s components. According to the company’s website, this problem does not affect the standard iPhone 14 models, that utilize the image stabilisation mechanism. Apple adopted a “second-generation” version of the same system for the Pro models, which may be the cause of the problem.

Software fix and upgrades

The iPhone 14 would receive at least its second software update to date. On the day of introduction, users were recommended to update to iOS 16.0.1 in order to resolve a FaceTime activation problem.

The iPhone 14 series camera bug will not be fixed by this update for the first time. Apple recently launched iOS 16.0.1, the most recent version of iOS 16, for the newest iPhones. With this upgrade, the iPhone 14 Pro Max’s zooming throughout landscape mode no longer results in certain images coming out soft.

One of the biggest improvements for this year’s smartphone is the new camera system here on iPhone 14 Pro, that for the first time uses a 48-megapixel sensor for the primary lens. The phone also features a software feature called Dynamic Island there at top of the smartphone that works with an improved camera cutout to display data like navigation directions or the status of AirPods.

The iPhone continues to be by far Apple’s most significant product, contributing to about 50% of the company’s revenues on its own and assisting in the growth of services such as the App Store as well as Apple TV+. Furthermore, it encourages customers to buy accessories like AirPods as well as the Apple Watch.

Price of iPhone 14

In the US, the base price of the iPhone 14 Pro is $999, while the Pro Max model is priced at $1,099

Conclusion

The issue does not appear to affect Apple’s built-in camera features or the base iPhone 14 as well as 14 Plus models, indicating that the Pro and Pro Max iDevices—which include a triple rear camera with only a 48-megapixel Quad Bayer sensor as well as an ultra-wide macro mode as well as 3x telephoto mode—are at fault.
