Apple launches iPhone 12 with 5G, A14 Bionic processor, higher resolution display
In India both iPhone XR & 11 had launched at around ₹68,300 inclusive of taxes. That’s USD 936. iPhone 12 is currently listed at ₹79,900 on apple.com/in . That’s USD 1090.OLED display & 5G antennas are one of the factors for increased cost but I would have preferred Liquid Retina display instead of OLED to keep the cost down. iPhone 11 display is not bad. And in India 5G network deployment is still 1-2 years away, there aren’t many compelling reasons to go for iPhone 12 especially when there is a huge price cut on iPhone 11 and Apple is giving AirPods free with purchase of 11.

Apple unveils new iPhone SE priced at just $399
Perfect addition to the current lineup of iPhone. I’m glad that Apple didn’t give it a bezel less design. It might have increased the cost.Living in India, I want Apple to take back their throne of No. 1 Premium Smartphone brand from OnePlus. With their budget OnePlus 8 starting at $699, iPhone SE appears very attractive with Bionic Chipset.And I agree with people here who favours home button. I still find my mother holding on to her iPhone 7, just because of it. She can’t handle my father’s XR or my Xs Max. Although I don’t see Apple sticking with Home button on SE 3. But there are years to go by.

They have changed the name of the chip. It's now "S5 with 64-bit dual-core processor"andrewVonPelt said:No word on the processor?

While the Series 4 Watch has "S4 with 64-bit dual-core processor" chip.

Architecture difference between these two S4 & S5 chips hasn't been shown in the keynote. It seems unlikely whether actually there is any difference otherwise Apple would have highlighted it.

Fitbit launches $150 Charge 3 fitness tracker with new design
Fitbit Versa adopted lot of design asthetics & features from Apple Watch but these fitness trackers such as Charge comes nowhere close to Apple Watch as you might expect from a Health & Fitness point of view.
Having used Charge 2 for a better part of year, I faced a major problem with their step calculations. It used to keep on counting steps even when I was driving a bike or I was in bus. Fitbit really need to correct their algorithm as lot of users reported the same problem.
And those were like thousands of steps which never happend and in order to get the correct step count we had to manually add an activity called 'Driving' at precise time duration on Fitbit website dashboard to negate those steps.
It's very tiresome experience for everyday basis.
