As Samsung plans to launch a bendable smartphone "Galaxy X" in 2018, Apple has reportedly begun work on a foldable iPhone with LG Display. According to a report in the Korean website The Investor, Apple has decided to go with LG and not Samsung (Samsung OLED displays are the best in the industry) owing to the fear that specifications could be leaked as Samsung is its arch rival. "According to The Bell, LG Display recently created a task force to develop a foldable OLED screen for the new iPhone model," the report said on Thursday.
The foldable iPhone panel production could start from 2020. LG has reportedly completed its own foldable OLED panel prototype and has been upgrading the durability and the yield rate. The company recently started its first OLED production for phones at its E5 plant in Gumi, North Gyeongsang Province. Apple is also considering investing in LG to speed up OLED production.

How RIL is planning to recover losses. Reliance Industries' telecom upstart Jio is footing at least 40 percent of the cost of its basic 4G phone, two sources familiar with the matter said, as it bets on recovering the investment by luring in millions of new customers.
The JioPhone, rolling out this week for a refundable deposit of 1,500 rupees ($23.05), will cost at least 2,500 rupees ($39) to assemble, the sources told Reuters. That means Jio will likely carry more than $150 million in costs for every 10 million JioPhones it sells. And the company aims to build a subscriber base of between 250 million and 300 million users in the next two years, said one of the sources. Reliance Industries did not respond to a request for comment. Some Reliance investors may flinch at the cost of subsidies, but the scale of the outlay is a clear signal of the level of Jio's ambition, as it targets an audience of some 500 million who still cannot afford smartphones in India.

'Bhoomi': Sanjay Dutt, Aditi Rao chemistry elevates the film (Movie Review, Rating ****) Film: 'Bhoomi'; Director: Omung Kumar; Starring: Sanjay Dutt, Aditi Rao Hydari, Sharad Kelkar, Shekhar Suman; Rating: **** "Jadd se ya dhadh se? " Sanjay Dutt plays a cruel KBC with his daughter's rapist, offering to either kill or castrate him. The pleading begging rapist takes the knife and plunges it into his pants. I squirmed , as I was meant to. Bhoomi a film about a father and daughter's revenge on her wrongdoers set in the seamier side of the city of the Taj Mahal, is not an easy film to view.
The rape-revenge motif has been done so much to death I wondered why we need another film on the theme. Put her on screen with Dutt and you have magic. Sanjay Dutt though a little wheezy and out of rhythm, is heartrendingly avuncular.His breakdown in the courtroom is so raw and unrehearsed it washes away all cynicism. With rather unnecessary detailing Bhoomi charts out the daughter's rape. But isn't that exactly what the film does? The narrative also suffers from serious lapses of continuity.

Apple's decision to start sales of its new iPhone 8 and 8 Plus smartphones in India just a week after their global launch may be welcome news for die-hard fans of the Cupertino-based tech giant's products but it has driven the cheer out of the country's grey markets, according to reports. Apple will launch the new iPhones in India on September 29 with pre-booking starting from September 22. According to the Economic Times, this means that die-hard fans who would rush to grey market sellers in places like Mumbai’s Heera Panna market and Delhi’s Gaffar Market to get their hands on the latest iPhone, that too at a high premium, ahead of others who would wait for its official launch can now get their gadget of choice pretty much at the same time as the rest of the world sans the premium price.
Consequently, these grey markets have hardly seen any pre-bookings this time, according to the financial daily. Google Tez gets 410,000 active users with transactions worth Rs 1.8 cr. Google says its new payments app for India, Tez, garnered 410,000 active users who made transactions worth Rs 1.8 crore in the first 20 hours of the app being launched. Tez was one of the most anticipated apps of the year, marking the entry of Google in India's fast-growing digital payments space. The unprecedented traffic the service encountered led to a temporary delay in allowing new users to sign up. "We are really happy with the numbers. I wish we hadn't had some of the ups and downs we had yesterday, but still, we're very happy with the first few hours of engagement. We're working on a number of different user experience features in the coming months," said Caesar Sengupta, Vice President of Product Management at Google.
Sengupta said that while the digital payments space in India seemed crowded, considering the extremely small size of the market, there was enough room for everyone to grow. Will iPhone X hurt iPhone 8 and 8 Plus sale? Here's what experts say. As Apple gets ready to ship iPhone 8 and 8 Plus before it opens iPhone X for pre-orders, a top analyst with Taiwanese business group KGI Securities has warned that iPhone X will cannibalise iPhone 8 orders. According to Ming-Chi Kuo, the most famous analyst with KGI Securities when it comes to Apple, it is very likely that iPhone X demand will cannibalise iPhone 8 pre-orders.
"While it takes three to six weeks or more to ship new iPhone models after they are available for preorder, they see the iPhone 8 taking less than one to two weeks. This is due to the iPhone X cannibalisation," streetinsider.com quoted the analyst as saying late on Monday. Apple unveiled both iPhone X and iPhone 8 models, with the "super-premium" iPhone X starting at $999. Ming, however, said the new Apple Watch Series 3's (GPS + Cellular version) could be a runaway hit. "We estimate the preorder weighting of the GPS + Cellular version is 80-90 per cent.

The Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that the "right to privacy is protected as an intrinsic part of the right to life and personal liberty under Article 21 and as a part of the freedoms guaranteed by Part III of the Constitution," a verdict that could derail India's biometric ID card programme now under way.
“The judgment read out so far only says that the right to privacy is a fundamental right, protected by Article 21 (of the Constitution on the right to life and personal liberty),” said Prashant Bhushan, a senior lawyer. “Any law, like the Aadhar Act or any other law, which seeks to restrict the right to privacy will have to be tested on the touchstone of Article 21. " The judgment also has a bearing on broader civil rights as well as a law criminalising homosexuality.
