### **Apple Ramping Up Manufacturing in India**

Despite recent speculation that Apple might move some iPhone production to the U.S. due to President Trump's push for more domestic manufacturing, it seems Cupertino is doubling down on its efforts in India. India's market is dominated by Chinese and Korean phone makers like Xiaomi, Oppo, and Samsung, whose phones are relatively inexpensive. If Apple does indeed ramp up manufacturing in India, it could signal the launch of a new tier of cheaper iPhones to compete in this massive and lucrative market. Tim Cook and Co. are clearly eager to expand their presence in India, so stay tuned for more updates.

### **HP Expands Laptop Battery Recall Due to Fire Hazards**

In safety news, HP has just expanded its recall of laptop batteries due to fire and burn hazards if they overheat. The recalled laptops were sold between March 2013 and 2016 and include several popular models. The latest recall adds over 100,000 computers and batteries to the overall recall, which initially started with about 40,000 units last June. HP estimates that less than 1% of the total number of laptops sold during that three-year period are affected. However, given the potential dangers of defective phone batteries (as seen in recent disasters), it’s better not to take chances. HP advises users with a recalled laptop to avoid using it on battery power and instead rely on the AC adapter. The company will replace any battery in the recall free of charge. Check the link below to see if your computer is on the list.

### **Samsung Confirms Galaxy Note 8, Teases New Galaxy S8**

While we talked yesterday about Samsung confirming plans for a Galaxy Note 8, today’s big news is the upcoming release of the new Galaxy S8, the flagship phone. According to Android headlines, the Galaxy S8 will come in two sizes: a regular model with a 5.7-inch display and a larger "Fab tablish" version with a 6.3-inch screen. Both models are expected to feature an AMOLED screen, which should be stunning for gear VR headsets. Photos suggest an edge-to-edge display with slim bezels on the top and bottom, along with a massive 4200 milliamp battery and special heat pipe cooling. But the biggest news is the inclusion of a Siri-like assistant called Bixby. Bixby is the result of Samsung’s 2016 purchase of AI Builder Viv, the same company responsible for Siri. For more details on this exciting new phone, check out the link below.
