  • ‘My Urdu is weak at 30, your Urdu is not good even at 70’: Bilawal on PM Khan

    Taking a jibe at Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan, Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) chairperson Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari said that “PM Khan criticises my Urdu, I admit that my Urdu is not good. However, my Urdu is weak at the age of 30 but your [PM Khan] Urdu is not good even at the age of 70,” adding that before you fix my Urdu, teach Urdu to your three children.

    Bilawal addressed a public gathering in Parachinar today (Saturday), where he said that the Opposition has shown that Imran Khan has lost the majority in the house. Therefore, he is no longer the prime minister. “Opposition will consider Imran Khan as the PM if he manages to bring 172 members,” he added.

    He further said that the Opposition has tabled the no-confidence motion against PM Khan since March 8. “The prime minister should show sportsmanship and face us if he is brave enough to do so,” he said.

    While addressing, the PPP chairperson said,” Next elections will be free and fair and no institutions will be made controversial for one person.”

    He further claimed, “Imran Khan violates the Constitution and the democracy. He doesn’t want the rule of law in Pakistan. He rather wants all institutions to work like his Tiger Force.”

    Criticising the PM, Bilawal said: “The PM used to say that he would become the ambassador of Kashmir, but he ended up becoming the lawyer of Kulbhushan Jadhav.”

    “What kind of Riyasat-e-Madina is this which provides relief to the rich and inflation to the poor,” Bilawal posed a question.

    He also alleged that PM Imran has been conspiring and making efforts to turn all institutions — be it the NAB (National Accountability Bureau), be it the ISI (Inter-Service Intelligence), be it our armed forces, be it our police — into his Tiger Force.

  • Apple to offer subscription-based service for selling iPhone, iPad, MacBook

    With a new subscription-based service, Apple is planning to launch a new method to buy iPhones as well as other Apple gear. Which will allow apple customers to pay a monthly subscription fee and receive an iPhone of their choice, as well as free upgrades when new products are released.

    This plan will differ from Apple’s and carriers’ current installment programmes, as it will be a pre-decided or custom monthly fee plan rather than the cost of the phone divided by 12, 24, and 36 months of installments.

    All applications including Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, iCloud+, Apple News+, and Apple Fitness+ will all be included in the iPhone subscription service, which will be linked to users’ existing Apple ID accounts.

    It may also offer bundle free Apple Care and even Apple One services, such as Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, iCloud+, Apple News+, and Apple Fitness+.

    The new subscription service may start by the end of this year with iPhones and eventually expand to the rest of Apple’s gadgets including iPads, Apple Watch, and the MacBook.

    Subscription-based selling of phones is not entirely new as Google already operates its Pixel Pass program in the US which lets customers choose between the Google Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro offered with Google’s own first-party services at very affordable monthly charges.

  • Emoji reactions for Whatsapp messages coming soon

    Emoji reactions for Whatsapp messages coming soon

    The Meta-owned Whatsapp is currently testing an ‘emoji react’ feature, initially in the Beta version for android devices. As per a credible resource, reaction Emojis have already started to appear in the Beta application for developers or users to test it.

    In the Beta version, holding a received message allows users to react with one of six Emojis which comprises: thumbs up, crying, laughter, love, shocked face, and folded hands as an alternative of saying ‘thanks’.

    It seems like the most popular messenger with billions of users will be rolling out the feature on Android phones in the first phase. However, there is no official date announced by Meta regarding its introduction but the testing pace says it all.

    The new feature will significantly enhance its usability, letting users immediately respond to messages instead of accessing the keyboard every time.

    Besides the ongoing testing for Android devices, there are signs that the emoji reactions are also on the way for iOS devices. A few months ago, the iOS Beta version was upgraded with a feature that consisted of a toggle to enable or disable reaction notifications.

    Previously a number of messaging and social media platforms have introduced emoji reactions including Instagram, Facebook Messenger, Google Messages, iMessage, and most surprisingly the Twitter DMs.
