This is not an outright ban. You can still get your aunt to bring you a MacBook or iPhone from the US. The restriction applies for business imports on a large scale.
Apple says you need a 15-inch MacBook Air in your life. After all, what’s better than a laptop that starts at Rs. 1,34,900 and only offers two USB-C ports? But hey, at least there are six speakers to drown your financial hit with death metal songs.
Nearby Share has been available on Android phones for a while now. Now, it’s widely available for an AirDrop smackdown, letting not-very-rich-and-snobby users wirelessly transfer files between Android phones and Windows PCs with ease.
The new M2 Pro and M2 Max silicon is hecka fast, says Apple. Also, the top-end model with 96GB RAM and 8TB storage only costs Rs. 6,49,900.
The new MacBook Pro will look the same as the 2021 model, because Apple doesn't have money for a design refresh. The chip inside, though, will be upgraded with more CPU and GPU cores.
Just in case you weren’t paying attention, Apple is the new video streaming behemoth on the block. Shows like Ted Lasso, The Morning Show, Prehistoric Planet, and Foundation (must watch!!!) are already the talk of the town and winning awards.

Everyone in the tech industry has gone mad over AI. Google, the lord of our entire digital existence, is no exception. The latest from its lab is a new feature called “SGE while browsing,” which presents a short summarized version of a long, complex article. Here’s how Google describes it:
“On some web pages you visit, you can tap to see an AI-generated list of the key points an article covers, with links that will take you straight to what you’re looking for directly on the page. We’ll also help you dig deeper with “Explore on page,” where you can see questions the article answers and jump to the relevant section to learn more.”
Here’s the feature in action:
The feature is rolling out inside the Google app for Android and iOS. It will soon arrive on Chrome for desktop, too. However, it’s an experimental feature, and can be enabled after you sign up for the Google Labs. Unfortunately, Google Labs is currently limited to the US market, and there is no timeline for an international expansion.
