Saturday, June 6, 2020 at 2:26PM Apple parts supplier Broadcom claims the company will be releasing the 2020 iPhone a bit later than usual. According to comments from Broadcom CEO Hock Tan during the company's recent quarterly earnings call, the next-generation iPhone's release will be pushed back by a few weeks. Apple hasn't released any statements yet regarding this possible delay.

If the report from DigiTimes is to be believed, then next year's iPhones will come bundled with AirPods. The hit-or-miss Taiwanese publication cites unnamed industry sources, claiming that "smartphone vendors including Apple, Samsung, and Xiaomi are looking to bundle their new models with TWS earbuds next year." TWS stands for "truly wireless stereo" earphones, which includes accessories like the AirPods and Samsung's Galaxy Buds.
We can't say how accurate the report is, especially with how expensive AirPods are and how popular these accessories are on their own. It would be uncharacteristic for Apple to bundle a high-demand accessory. Perhaps a more reasonable rumour would be a more advanced version of EarPods will be bundled with the iPhone. Or only the higher-end iPhone 12 Pro models will get this bundle. The iPhone is at least 10 months away from its launch, so we'll be keeping our eyes out to see if this particular rumour will become true.

Whether you have strong feelings for or against Apple, you can’t deny the influence the Cupertino-based tech giant has on the smartphone industry. This collection of photos shared by Reddit user u/Saim_Ray010 shows the shift in smartphone design before and after Apple released the original iPhone as well as before and after the iPhone X. You can see the lack of a coherent design language from brands before Apple put out its first phone as well as how many notched Android phones showed up after Apple popularized the notch. Some will argue that Apple wasn’t the first—with Sharp and Essential beating the company to the punch. But the brand certainly exercises a bigger influence on the industry as these images prove.

Apple’s talks with India seems to have headed into a good direction. There are reports that the nation will be producing iPhones in its country starting the end of April 2017. According to Priyank Kharge, information technology minister for the Indian state of Karanataka, the devices will be made in Bangalore and will be targeted at India’s domestic market. In an interview with Bloomberg, Kharge said they didn’t discuss any other incentives for Apple during his meeting back in January with Apple executives. It was reported that this meeting was meant to cement the timeline for production to start.
Apple’s move into India, which is considered the fastest-growing major smartphone market in the world, comes at a time when iPhone sales have been slowing down in key markets such as China. The tech giant has reportedly given a “wish list” to India for working in its country. These supposedly included permanent relaxation of laws requiring foreign retailers to source 30 percent of their materials locally as well as so tax incentives. Apple hasn’t confirmed this production plan yet. But we should probably here something soon enough.
