It's funny how Mumbai is the 'Financial Capital' of India but 99% of rickshaw and taxi valas don't accept UPI. Heck, several shops and popular establishments like Rustom Ice Cream and Kyani only deal in cash.
Come to Bengaluru and every rickshaw has like 3 different QR codes.
I was telling a friend (an iPhone user) how I'm so happy the iPhone 15 is finally getting USB-C.
He was utterly disappointed at the move and said "now Apple will lose it's value since I can't ask someone specifically if they have an iPhone charger."
Indian iPhone users 🤷🏻
You know what, screw experience. Don't think about the result. Just send this fearless Indian side to the WC. If we lose, we lose. But it's gonna be hella entertaining.

I spent about a month in the US (two trips spread across two weeks each) and it's time I put this out there -
The restrooms in the US are dirty af. I saw poop in the URINALS. Multiple times. Yes, you read that right. I don't even wanna know why. I wanna know HOW.

Never take offence on the opinion of bad hygiene from someone that wipes their butt with a pair of tissues.
Indians need to get over their inferiority complex and stop being offended by every opinion of every gora.
And honestly, most hotels in India that are not 5-star have
Gosh, dbrand is literally a cyberbully. Horrible racist comments under the original tweet all thanks to a piss poor attempt at humor. Please go to their profile and report the tweet for bullying and hate speech.
Basic acts of courtesy are often absent in India. Holding doors for others, appreciating public servants, thanking the waiting staff at restaurants -- I've seen very few people do this.

She kept running away from me for the past 3 years.
I still kept trying.
She rejected me 4 times.
But I was still behind her.
She said I wasn't eligible.
So I worked on myself.
And now, I finally have her.
ICICI finally approved my Amazon Pay Credit Card 😭😭😭
I used to play cricket when I was in Bahrain. I would like to believe I was pretty good at it. And I have certificates from ACC and ICC too.
When I returned to India, I was laughed at when I went to attend my school's cricket team selection -- because I was "fat". I gave up

, you said the Galaxy A55 had uniform bezels. This is a screenshot from your own video.
Also, the video seems sponsored from the way you're praising the phone, but there's no disclaimer. Doing undisclosed promotions is what you teach in your "digital school" too?
Switching back to Android from iOS is like returning home from a vacation.
No matter how much you enjoy the luxuries of a hotel, nothing beats the comfort of your home.
The iPhone 14 Pro winning the best camera setup in MKBHD's smartphone awards was a shocker to me. Poor HDR, warm tones, no periscope lens. The S22 Ultra should've been the runaway winner.
Redmi K20: Best mid-range chip of its time, AMOLED Display, premium build, 48MP. 22k - overpriced.
OnePlus Nord: Best mid-range chip of its time, AMOLED Display, premium build, 48MP. 25k - good value.
Perception.
Tbh if not for Xiaomi, the majority of India would be using rebranded Chinese phones with underpowered chipsets and undeserving price tags.
I'm not aware of the intricacies of their business and the soup they're in, but I really hope they come out of this.

I'm surprised by your usage of words like uninclusive, blatant, and legitimizing, but your lack of ability to interpret basic English 🤦🏼♂️

Apple's after sales service in India is absolutely PATHETIC. Here's a thread with my recent experience -
(1/10) The employees at service centres have zero knowledge about products. A "service engineer" didn't know what battery health is. He thought it's same as battery level.
Indian smartphone buyers are needlessly obsessed with phones getting hot. Any piece of tech, when used, will get hot. Moreover, we stay in a tropical region. Stop worrying about temperatures so much. If the phone is working fine, why do you care if it's running at 30°C or 50°C?
The reliability issues with Windows computers are appalling. Whether you have a ₹60k laptop or a 1.5L PC, you're sure to face random BSOD, stuck at boot/BIOS, failed updates and 50 other problems.
If you want a reliable computer with no headaches, just get a Mac. It's worth it.

80 hours a week is:

11.4 hours a day if one works on all 7 days.
You're not hiring an assistant. You're hiring a slave.
iPhone 12 Pro Max was priced 40k higher than US in India: Doston best phone hai.
Mi 10i is priced 3k more in India than China: Doston overpriced hai.
What is custom duty? Voh sab toh sirf Apple pe lagta hai. What is GST? Voh sirf Apple ke liye increase hua hai na.

Can confirm what Indian Samsung Fans were waiting for!
Samsung seems to be launching the Galaxy S22 Series with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 ‼️ chipset in India. 😭

I saw a tweet where someone was asking whether to buy an iPhone 13 or iPhone 12.
95% of the replies are "Buy Apple stock instead" "Invest in crypto" "Wow so rich" "Waste of money" "Buy Redmi it will do the same job"
Just can't understand the mentality of such people 🤦🏻♂️

Also bundling in an Apple silicone case with MagSafe and one case from Caseology.

It's amazing to see how many people have aspired to own an iPhone from years and their dreams are getting fulfilled thanks to Flipkart and Amazon.
No matter how much we curse them for fake sales, cancelled orders, and price hikes, they've made lakhs of people smile :)
My ideal phone would be the Xiaomi 12S Ultra's primary camera, S22 Ultra's periscope camera, Pixel 7's image processing, 120Hz LTPO display with uniform bezels, 14 Pro Max's battery life, A16, Pixel software & AI -- in a foldable body that's the size of the iPhone 13 mini 🥲
It's a shame that a ₹2,000 fitness band can track your sleep automatically and accurately but the ₹50,000 Apple Watch needs you to toggle it on every time before going to bed or set a manual schedule 🤷🏻♂️
OPPO doesn't even sell its phones in the US. But here we are watching Find N content from US media first. Why is it that brands think reviewers in the US can handle phones better than reviewers in India? It's high time this ends. Just send the damn units to everyone together.
So I've received a traffic violation challan from the future 😂 It's from 2025 and there's no way to see the picture/proof since the website doesn't even load 🤷🏻♂️ Any help

Just the ability to view photos. Literally nothing else. No internet access, no random automatic story creation, no backing up to cloud, no linking with Drive.
Just discovered that the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra has something similar to the Magic Eraser on the Pixel 6 and it works pretty damn well!
Is this new or am I late to discover it? 🤔
When Apple puts an inferior 60Hz display on a phone that costs ₹80k, everyone loses their shit. But when Samsung puts an inferior Exynos processor on a phone that costs ₹1L -- which is literally the brain of the phone -- nobody bats an eye. Hypocrisy much?
On the same note, massive respect to
@GyanTherapy
for including the paid promotion tag. You can't survive without sponsored content in this cut-throat industry. So if you're doing it, do it like Rakesh.
The very popular Rama Traders store in Gandhi Bazaar, Bengaluru charged me ₹10 for a cloth bag that has the shop's branding on it.
Lodging a consumer forum complaint and you should too if a shop charges you for a bag with its logo on it.
🚨 Public service announcement: Don't buy an iPhone 12 in the upcoming sales. The phone is too old now and isn't worth the price even with offers.
The battery will die by afternoon and camera has jaundice. You'll be much better off buying a new Android phone costing ₹30-35k.
I feel like ICC should adopt the same format as the IPL for World Cup semi finals. 1st position of both groups play each other and the winner goes straight to finals. Loser plays winner of 2vs2 match. And then winner of that plays finals. Otherwise no benefit of finishing 1st.
Any Indian company that gets into trouble, their first response is "But we're truly Indian bro. What do you mean by your bank details are now on the dark web and all your savings can disappear any minute? At least we don't have Chinese investors."
I don't get the argument about iPhone cameras being better because they're consistent.
Yes, they're consistently bad at HDR and most photos look like they have jaundice.
I will pick an inconsistent, great camera over a consistent, good camera any day.
In case you're not aware of how YouTube works,

, there's a toggle called "includes paid promotion" that you can simply turn on with a single click. It's very easy. Much easier than dealing with ASCI once I lodge a complaint against you :)
Exactly a year after purchase, one side of my AirPods (3rd gen) has stopped working.
This is a lesson that no matter which pair of TWS earbuds you buy -- cheap or premium -- they're simply use-and-throw. How long they last depends entirely on your luck.
I've used every OnePlus phone since the OP 2 (basically every OP phone with an alert slider) and not once has the slider changed positions by itself while putting it in/removing it out of my pocket.
Maybe because I don't have pockets filled with money by misleading the audience.

Since the Flipkart/Amazon sale is just a few hours away, here's my advice to those looking to buy an iPhone -
If you can, splurge and get the iPhone 13 instead of the iPhone 12. Better cameras and noticeably better battery life. It's worth it, especially in the long run.
Very few Android phones out there that can still have 50% battery at 9PM with this usage. Looks like Google's AI magic is working well for battery optimization on the Pixel 7 Pro.
For reference, the S22 Ultra would've been at ~35-40%.
Xiaomi has been doing this for ages even on their budget phones but nobody batted an eye. Now that Apple did it, everyone will call it a technological breakthrough 🥲
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 is one of the best pieces of tech launched in the past few years.
✅ Runs the latest version of Wear OS
✅ Supports NFC payments
✅ Can run 3rd party apps
✅ Still works great after 3 years
✅ Available for as low as ₹6-7k during sales
The biggest mistake Flipkart made was killing off eBay India. It was the best place to find cheap accessories, cases, spare parts, used/refurbished items, or basically anything that you wouldn't find on other e-commerce portals in India.
Recently got an iPhone for dad on his 60th birthday -- after he's mostly used budget phones all his life.
He always aspired to have one, but couldn't justify spending so much on a phone. The smile on his face when he held it for the first time couldn't have been wider! Now he
I used to absolutely despise Apple products at a point without using any of them.
When I finally got an iPhone, I started to appreciate a few things. Then, I got a Mac and appreciated more things. Got an Apple Watch, even more.
I think the moral is clear.
My mom met a lady who asked her where I work. So my mom said I write articles on the internet.
The lady then went on to say "Don't worry, he'll find a good job soon." 🥲
I feel the Sony Liv app gets hate for no reason. It has taught me important virtues like patience and anger management that my life skills teacher in school couldn't.
"Don't buy flagship phones, it's a waste of money."
"Oh okay. What phone do you use?"
"iPhone 13 Pro Max in the right pocket and Galaxy Z Fold 3 in the left."

Just give us a visual overhaul already man. So tired of seeing the same old UI since like forever.
Gingerbread to ICS was huge. Kitkat to Lollipop was a dramatic change. Material You is gorgeous. When will I see this on iOS? Add new wallpapers and hey, we have a new OS!
One aspect of the iPhone 13 mini that's extremely underrated is how fast it charges. Given the small capacity, plug it in for 15 min. and it goes from 15% to 50%.

I took down my earlier tweet regarding software support on the

because there was a discrepancy between what I was told and a community post.
I can now confirm that the OnePlus 9RT will get 3 YEARS of Android Updates and 4 YEARS of Security Patches.
