US smartphone market sees slow growth as India-made phones surge: Canalys
In response to tariffs, Apple earlier this year sought to make most of its iPhones sold in the United States at factories in India Reuters The United States smartphone market grew just 1 per cent in the second quarter as vendors front-loaded device inventories amid tariff concerns, while supply chain negotiations between China and the United States boosted shipments of Indian-made phones, research firm Canalys said on Monday. The imposition of US tariffs has prompted smartphone makers to reorganize their supply chains to avoid higher import costs and protect their margins. China, a major hub for electronics manufacturing, has been targeted by significant tariffs, pushing hardware makers to explore other Asian countries to maintain low production costs. In response to tariffs, Apple earlier this year sought to make most of its iPhones sold in the United States at factories in India. However, the move drew criticism from US President Donald Trump, who threatened additional tariffs on the Cupertino-based company if it did not produce domestically. "India became the leading manufacturing hub for smartphones sold in the US for the very first time in Q2 2025, largely driven by Apple's accelerated supply chain shift to India amid an uncertain trade landscape between the US and China," said Sanyam Chaurasia, Principal Analyst at Canalys. "The market only grew 1 per cent despite vendors front-loading inventory, indicating tepid demand in an increasingly pressured economic environment and a widening gap between sell-in and sell-through," said Runar Bjorhovde, Senior Analyst at Canalys. The share of US smartphone shipments assembled in China fell from 61 per cent in the second quarter of 2024 to 25 per cent in the second quarter of 2025. India picked up most of the decline, with Indian-made smartphone volume growing 240 per cent year-on-year. iPhone shipments declined by 11 per cent while Samsung shipments grew 38 per cent in the second quarter.

Currency watch: Rupee ends 18 paise lower at 86.70 against dollar; trade jitters and Fed uncertainty weigh on sentiment
The rupee gave up early gains and settled 18 paise lower at 86.70 against the US dollar on Monday, pressured by persistent month-end dollar demand from importers and caution ahead of key trade and monetary policy decisions. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now After opening at 86.47 at the interbank foreign exchange, the domestic unit briefly strengthened to an intra-day high of 86.40 before slipping to the day's low of 86.70, where it eventually settled. On Friday, the rupee had closed at 86.52, PTI reported. Traders attributed the rupee's weakness to broad dollar strength following the EU-US trade pact and lingering uncertainty over India's own trade talks with the US ahead of the August 1 deadline. 'The Indian rupee has depreciated against the US dollar, mirroring the trend of most Asian currencies. This weakening is largely attributed to the strengthening dollar, which gained momentum following the recent EU-US trade deal,' said Dilip Parmar, Research Analyst at HDFC Securities. Parmar added that the spot USD-INR pair may find support at 86.10 and resistance at 86.75 in the near term. The dollar index rose 0.54% to 98.17, while Brent crude climbed 0.85% to $69.02 per barrel amid optimism that the EU-US deal could support future energy demand. In equities, the BSE Sensex dropped 572.07 points (0.70%) to 80,891.02 and the Nifty fell 156.10 points (0.63%) to 24,680.90. Foreign investors net sold shares worth Rs 6,082.47 crore, according to exchange data. 'Rupee is trading with a slight negative bias amid uncertainty ahead of the August 1 trade deal deadline,' said Anuj Choudhary, Research Analyst at Mirae Asset Sharekhan. 'Month-end dollar demand from importers may also weigh on the domestic currency. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now USD-INR spot price is expected to trade in a range of Rs 86.35 to Rs 86.90.' He added that investor caution ahead of the upcoming monetary policy meetings of the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan will also keep pressure on the rupee. Meanwhile, weak domestic data added to market nervousness. India's industrial output grew just 1.5% in June, the slowest pace in 10 months, hit by poor performance in mining and power sectors due to excess rains. India's forex reserves also declined by $1.183 billion to $695.489 billion in the week ended July 18, RBI data showed. Reserves had reached an all-time high of $704.885 billion in September 2024.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 faces major durability test, surprising results inside
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 has just been put through its paces in a fresh durability test by popular YouTuber JerryRigEverything, and the results might surprise those who still question the toughness of foldable phones. For those who don't know, Zack Nelson (the man behind the channel) is best known for torturing smartphones on his YouTube channel with several tests, including bending, scratching, and burning, to name a few. As is tradition, he took Samsung's latest and greatest foldable for a spin with his usual tools and techniques, and the Galaxy Z Fold 7 did not disappoint. advertisementFirst, let's get into the durability side of things. The scratch test started on the cover screen and back panel of the Galaxy Z Fold 7, both of which are protected by Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2. Like most modern smartphones, scratches began to appear at level 6 of the Mohs hardness scale, with deeper grooves at level 7. The main inner display, though more delicate, held up well too. The aluminium frame didn't fare as well under sharp tools, but that's not something everyday users need to worry notable improvement on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is the camera ring design. Unlike its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Fold 6, or even the Galaxy S25 Ultra, Samsung has reverted to a more robust metal setup. Zack tried to dig into the camera rings with his blade, but to no avail — the camera rings stayed in place, showing impressive strength. While the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 doesn't offer a traditional IP68 rating like regular bar phones — where the '6' stands for complete dust protection — the phone still has an IP48 rating. This means the '4' denotes that the phone can handle dust or solid objects 1mm or larger in size. That said, Zack went all in by sprinkling fine dust over the hinge and inner screen and opened and closed the phone multiple times. To everyone's surprise, the phone's hinge continued to function smoothly, without any visible said, the flame test — where a lighter is held to the screen — left lasting marks on both displays, as expected. The cover screen showed damage after about 15 seconds, and the inner display lasted roughly 10 seconds. Neither recovered, but that's the typical nature of OLED displays under direct flame. Credit: JerryRigEverything/ YouTube Then came the all-important bend test. With pressure applied from both directions — folded and unfolded — the Galaxy Z Fold 7 managed to survive without breaking, bending or snapping. Considering this is the thinnest foldable phone yet, that's impressive. And speaking of thinness, a recent study conducted by the Korean Consumer-Centred Enterprise Association found that Samsung's official thickness claim of 8.9mm is actually slightly overstated — the real number is 8.82mm. In contrast, competitors like Honor, Vivo, and Xiaomi have been caught stating lower thicknesses than what their phones actually for instance, advertises its Magic V5 as the world's thinnest foldable at 8.8mm, but real-world measurements show it to be over 0.5mm thicker. Vivo and Xiaomi have similar gaps between their claims and reality. On the other hand, Samsung seems to have gone the other way — not just matching its specs, but doing better. Now, this could point to a more conservative approach, or perhaps it's simply a genuine effort to avoid the marketing exaggeration we often see in this category. We think the what it's worth, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 has passed JerryRigEverything's brutal durability test with flying colours — and at the end of the day, that's all that matters.- Ends
