iPhone Price

Apple iPhone 7 India prices
After the keynote in San Francisco earlier this month, Apple had confirmed that the iPhone 7 line-up in India will be priced `60,000 onwards. The confirmed prices are as follows—the iPhone 7 (32GB) is priced at `60,000 while the 128GB variant costs `70,000 and the 256GB version is priced at `80,000. With no 16GB or 64GB variants in the line-up anymore, we feel that most users would aim for the iPhone 7 (128GB) variant, because of the longevity and future proofing offered by the mammoth storage space, compared to the 32GB variant (though this is definitely an upgrade over the 16GB option in the previous generation iPhones)
Apple iPhone 7 Plus India prices
The bigger of the two new iPhones, will be priced at `72,000 for the 32GB version, `82,000 for the 128GB version and `92,000 for the 256GB version. Contrary to expectations, the prices of the latest iPhones still do not breach the `1,00,000 mark. And that is because of Apple’s attempts to price the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus around the same price points as when the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus were launched last year.
Apple iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus India prices
Apple had already confirmed that they will be dropping the 16GB storage variants of these two phones, and now they are available in 32GB and 128GB options. The iPhone 6s costs `50,000 (32GB) and `60,000 (128GB). The iPhone 6s Plus is now priced at `60,000 (32GB) and `70,000 (128GB).
For both these phones, we feel that the reduced pricing of the base storage spec variants would be a lot more attractive for buyers who had been eyeing the idea of buying an iPhone for a while now—and that makes perfect sense. The iPhone 6s still is a very good smartphone and the iPhone 6s Plus has one of the most consistent smartphone cameras out there. However, if you are considering splurging on a 128GB variant of either of these phones, we would recommend spending that little extra and picking up the iPhone 7 or the iPhone 7 Plus with the 128GB storage, simply because it means you are a power user and the newer hardware and specs would be more useful in the long run.
Apple iPhone SE India prices
The smallest form factor of the lot, the iPhone SE remains a part of the line-up. The 16GB variant is priced at `39,000 while the 64GB version will set you back by `44,000. This phone is ideal for that demographic of users who want a very compact smartphone but will not compromise in terms of the latest hardware and software.

Whatsapp sharing data with facebook


Whenever we sign up for websites such as Facebook, Google, Gmail, Yahoo
etc. you agree with their “Terms and Conditions” and “Privacy Policy“. This agreement states that by agreeing to their conditions, we give them a right to use our information for better targeting of advertisements.

These companies do a great job while securing their user’s data against everyone else on the web except for themselves. Even though these companies claim that they keep strict policies about the user’s data and nothing is revealed except for court’s legal processes but that perhaps, is not always the truth.

However, programs such as NSA, XKEYSCORE revealed by Edward Snowden have disclosed that these companies leak customer data to NSA which is further processed. As information nowadays is digital, it’s 0’s and 1’s, which once used to be something on piece of paper.

“Internet has made it easier for Governments to take control of our minds”.

Nowadays, we are more honest to the search engines than our spouses, friends etc. The search engines know more about us than anyone, our interests, our likes, our dislikes etc. Therefore, disabling the “Check” option as in picture below from WhatsApp would prevent your data from being disclosed. Well, my answer is it does not stop. Let me tell you why I think so..

If you believe that a company invests and spends billions of dollars in building the infrastructure, paying electricity bills and giving salaries would allow you to enjoy everything for free, then I think you are mistaken.

We do not pay anything for using Google Search, for utilizing Google Drive, Gmail, Facebook, and WhatsApp. A Company, investing so heavily on their infrastructure would eventually go bank corrupt if they don’t have any rewards to reap.

It turns out that, nothing is free on the internet, there is no free lunch.

People generally come up with the argument that when they have nothing to hide, why would they be afraid? The question is, if they have nothing to hide and if they are not willing to keep secrets then how we can trust such organizations with our personal text and calls information?.

I will leave you with thoughts to ponder about this serious issue, are you safe online?
