Apple's entire iPhone 17 family to be made in India for the US market from the beginning
According to a new report, the iPhone 17 family will also be made in India from the beginning - in fact, production has already started ahead of the rumored early September unveiling. Leaked image showing iPhone 17 family dummy units
The devices it will sell in the US will be sourced from India, in order to avoid the US government's new tariffs on Chinese-made goods. To achieve this, Apple has expanded iPhone production in India at five factories, including a pair which were recently opened by Tata Group and Foxconn. Interestingly, Tata Group's share of India's iPhone manufacturing will become around 50%.
This is going to be the first time when all new iPhone models will ship to the US from India from launch. Even before, the value of iPhone exports from India has climbed to $7.5 billion from April to July. In early 2026, the iPhone 17e will also be made in India for the US market. Apple first assembled the iPhone SE in India in 2017, and production in the country was first expanded in 2021.

No one is using the iPhone Camera Control and Apple will drop it, sketchy rumor claims
The Camera Control (don't call it a button) was triumphantly unveiled by Apple last year alongside the iPhone 16 family. It was an important part of the launch presentation, and even got its own ads. However, it seems like not many people are actually using it - at least that's what a new rumor on Weibo claims. Do however note that this information doesn't come from a source that has any sort of track record, so accuracy isn't a given. Anyway, the tipster in question claims Apple has found that almost no one uses the Camera Control. Thus, the iPhone 17 generation will be the last one to actually have it - it will be gone in the iPhone 18 series. So it will only have lasted two generations. Apparently, Apple has already informed its relevant suppliers that it will no longer need any components related to the Camera Control. If this is true, what do you think? Would you be sad to see the Camera Control go? Or were you not interested in it to begin with? Let us know in the comments. Source (in Chinese)

Google Pixel 10 Pro XL now spotted in the Geekbench database
Vlad, 20 August 2025 Yesterday, a Reddit user uploaded a shot purportedly showing the unannounced Google Pixel 10 Pro XL's AnTuTu score next to the Pixel 9 Pro XL's. The next-gen phone managed a better score overall, but with some weird misses, most notably in the GPU department. Now, the same user has seemingly run Geekbench 6 on the same two devices, and you can see the results below. The Pixel 10 Pro XL manages a single-core score of 2,296 and a multi-core score of 6,203, versus its predecessor's 1,889 and 4,247, respectively. It is thus a massive improvement, especially in the multi-core score - that's a 46% uplift. In the single-core score it's only 21% better, but that's still something, of course. This benchmark run has revealed the Tensor G5 CPU's configuration. It has one core clocked at 3.78 GHz, five cores clocked at 3.05 GHz, and two cores clocked at 2.25 GHz. The Pixel 10 Pro XL which ran the benchmark has 16GB of RAM and unsurprisingly boots Android 16, which is the version the entire Pixel 10 family should launch with. Speaking of that launch, the official announcement is tomorrow, on August 20, at 10 AM local time in California. Stay tuned.
