Foxconn Hyderabad factory<\/a> will make AirPods and the factory is expected to begin mass production by December, PTI reported.<\/p>\n In the realm of true wireless stereo (TWS), Apple’s AirPods take the lead on a global scale. Research company Canalys reported that during the last quarter of 2022, Apple held approximately 36 percent of the TWS market share, securing its dominance.<\/p>\n After Apple, Samsung held a market share of 7.5 percent, while Xiaomi claimed 4.4 percent, Boat held 4 percent, and Oppo had 3 percent. Xiaomi initiated the production of its TWS devices in India this year at the Optiemus Electronics facility in Noida, suggest the report.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the upcoming iPhone SE 4<\/a>, the fourth generation of the smartphone series set to succeed the iPhone SE (2022), is rumored to feature a USB Type-C port, as indicated by a reliable source. Apple’s move to replace the Lightning port with USB Type-C is anticipated to be introduced with the purported iPhone 15 lineup next month, and this transition is likely to extend to forthcoming models as well.<\/p>\n Notably, the Apple iPhone SE<\/a> 4 is also predicted to integrate Face ID functionality and might include an Action button, a feature anticipated to premiere on the iPhone 15 Pro later this year.<\/p>\n As per information from tipster Unknownz21 (@URedditor on X), the design of the iPhone SE 4 is expected to bear similarities to the previously launched iPhone 14<\/a>. This suggests that the speculated device could be the first in the SE series to adopt Apple’s notch-based display design. However, the source indicates that, akin to its predecessors and all other SE models, the fourth-generation Apple smartphone will come equipped with a single rear camera.<\/p>\n (With inputs from PTI)`<\/p>\n
