Everyone Can Afford The iPhone 16e, But Here’s What It Lacks
February 24, 2025 / By Zunair Tahir / Tech News
The news was recently reported by us. The genuine Apple iPhone 16e costs only $599. However, you should be mindful of what you can lose if you purchase the iPhone 16e. Some are readily apparent, and a cursory examination of the device will reveal the functionalities that are lacking. When compared to the other members of the family, the iPhone 16e’s interior features are severely missing.
Similar to how Apple didn’t provide a description for the “SE” designation in earlier iterations, the Phone 16e also lacked one for the letter “e.” Is it “essential” or “economical”? An Apple representative who was questioned about the new name gave us a hint, but we might never know. “The iPhone 16e is for everyone,” he said exactly.
Given its $600 price tag, we suppose the iPhone 16e is for everyone. It is undoubtedly cost-effective enough for even underdeveloped nations. Ironically, though, there is a price associated with the lower pricing. In addition to lacking a separate ultrawide or telephoto lens, we discover that the 16e with a single rear-facing camera has limited utility.
You won’t be able to use Cinematic or Action mode while recording on the iPhone 16e. This might be a deal breaker for those who are interested in the iPhone’s ultra-stable action footage or video bokeh effect. For the time being, only Apple’s high-end phones have such options. These new capabilities are reflected in the pricing of the most recent iPhone, making it a more costly but sophisticated choice.
The iPhone 16 series featured a new function called photographic styles. Unfortunately, this new iPhone 16e does not have them either. The iPhone 16e at least retains Apple’s previous style filters, but you can’t adjust your images with higher contrast or deeper shadows like the other siblings.
It’s not quite accurate to say that the iPhone 16e’s touted Apple A18 processor is as powerful as the other 16 models. Because the 16e only has four cores rather than the original A18 chip’s five, its GPU isn’t as strong. However, the CPU speeds were maintained if you are simply concerned with ordinary use and are not concerned with gaming.
Regarding the screen, the iPhone 16e’s 6.1″ OLED XDR Super Retina display is comparable to the iPhone 16. But when comparing numbers directly, the panel doesn’t grow much brighter or dimmer. Additionally, the iPhone 16e lacks the Dynamic Island, although because it substitutes the iPhone SE’s far worse top-bottom bar, this isn’t a major issue.
Though innovative, Apple’s in-house C1 modem for the iPhone 16e is not as good as the modem for the iPhone 16 or 16 Pro. The 16e’s reduction from WiFi 7 to WiFi 6 is most likely due to the C1 chip. Although the chip’s full potential is unknown, the iPhone 16e may not include WiFi 7 as a cost-cutting measure.
The ultra-wideband UWB chip, which often aids previous iPhone models in locating an Apple Air tag, is even absent from the iPhone 16e. Additionally, new functions like wireless contact exchange are lost when a chip is lost. Although it’s not a deal-breaker, you should be aware of the iPhone 16e’s shortcomings.
To this extensive list of lacking functionality, add the inability to support Thread. The iPhone 16e lacks the protocol needed to communicate with Internet of Things devices, such as smart lights, locks, and thermostats. You may thus need to figure out a workaround for your iPhone 16e.
Because the iPhone 16e lacks hardware, some of these capabilities are not available. Some may get better in the future since they are software-bound. The consumer must ultimately determine if the $600 cost of the iPhone 16e outweighs the loss of these functionalities. This list of features that are lacking should hopefully help you make a decision.

Pakistan Determined To Destroy Terrorist Organizations DG ISPR
December 27, 2024 / By Zunair Tahir / Pakistan News
According to Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, Director General of ISPR, Pakistan would stop at nothing to eradicate terrorist networks and ensure the safety of its people.
Speaking at a news conference in Rawalpindi on Friday, he declared that Fitna al-Khwarij and its supporters would not stop fighting terrorism until the last Kharji were eradicated.
Pakistan’s military has made unmatched sacrifices in the fight against terrorism, according to the Director General of ISPR. According to him, the martyrs of Pakistan’s military forces and law enforcement agencies are honored throughout the country.
According to Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, during the past year, 59,000 and 775 intelligence-based operations have been carried out against terrorists and those who assist them. He said that throughout these operations, 925 terrorists, including Khwarij, were slain.
According to the ISPR Director General, 27 Afghan terrorists and 73 high-value targets were also slain. Fourteen suspected terrorists turned themselves in, he said.
During these counterterrorism operations, 383 courageous commanders and troops accepted martyrdom, he added.
The ISPR Chief stated that Pakistan was crucial to maintaining peace and stability in Afghanistan, its neighbor. However, it is regrettable that terrorists have consistently used Afghan territory to fuel terrorism within Pakistan.
He stated that Pakistan’s concerns about the sanctuaries of the banned groups within Afghanistan and their facilitation of terrorist operations within Pakistan have been firmly conveyed by Army Chief General Syed Asim Munir.
Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry stated that all of the developments under the Western Border Management Regime plan are almost finished.
According to him, landmines and explosive ordnance have been removed from 72% of tribal districts. According to him, the administration is still pursuing a crackdown on drugs, stockpiling, power theft, and smuggling. The unlawful spectrum has drastically decreased as a result of this method.
According to the ISPR Chief, the one-document policy’s implementation has also contributed to a decrease in unauthorized border crossings. He said that since September of last year, 815 thousand illegal Afghan nationals had returned to their homeland.
Speaking about the situation along the Line of Control, Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry stated that although India is engaged in false flag operations and ceasefire breaches, its military forces are well equipped to respond appropriately to any assault.
He said that the people of Pakistan are supporting their Kashmiri brothers and sisters in their just fight for independence, while the authorities of New Delhi are oppressing the Indian illegally occupied region of Jammu and Kashmir.
He said that Pakistan will keep helping the people of Kashmir politically, legally, diplomatically, and morally. He said that India is engaging in state terrorism worldwide, which includes the targeted murder of Sikhs abroad.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Processor Adds Apple Intelligence Functionality
December 27, 2024 / By Zunair Tahir / Tech News
Qualcomm’s newest and best CPU, the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, is a powerful tiny silicon device. Therefore, a recently found intriguing snippet of code suggests that the Galaxy S25 Ultra may include on-device AI picture editing.
The ability to do various AI operations locally on the device rather than relying on the cloud is a major selling feature of Apple Intelligence.
This removes the requirement to constantly be online and also offers a stronger assurance of privacy. Additionally, it appears that the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor has enough capability to enable on-device AI picture editing.
Special features for different chipsets were noted in the code that was discovered. The “FEATURE_GEN_EDIT_ON_DEVICE” function of the Snapdragon 8 Elite essentially speaks for itself. Other tools were also mentioned, although it’s unclear if they can function without the cloud.
Samsung incorporates new AI technologies into its flagship phones in a number of ways, including this one. The Galaxy S25 series will be accompanied with a redesigned Bixby AI assistant that is powered by LLM. The iPhone 16 would be outperformed by the new Bixby if it lives up to my expectations.
Additionally, the code confirmed that Snapdragon processors will power the whole S25 family. For the S25 phones, no Exynos or other chipsets were mentioned.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra’s entire leaked specifications sheet indicates that, although being fairly similar to its predecessor, the phone will still be a powerful device. To enhance on-device AI performance, 16 GB of RAM, which hasn’t been available since the Galaxy S21 Ultra, is probably also a possibility.
With good reason, all of the leading phone makers are investing heavily in AI. I think it really helps in a number of areas, even if some people might find it bothersome.
The capabilities that artificial intelligence (AI) on phones will have in a few years are much beyond image production and photo editing.
Global Release Of OnePlus 13 And 13R Is Scheduled For The First Week of 2025
December 22, 2024 / By Zunair Tahir / Tech News
The worldwide launch event for the OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R is scheduled for January 7, according to OnePlus. There will also be a new Sapphire Blue color option for the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 during the event.
OnePlus 13R
The OnePlus 13R, which was once reported to be a Chinese-only rebranded version of the OnePlus Ace 5, will be different from that model in at least one important way: battery capacity.
The flagship OnePlus 13 will have a 6,000 mAh battery, much as the 13R, according to OnePlus. On the other hand, previous leaks indicated that the Ace 5 would have a little bigger battery.
OnePlus has also announced that the 13R will have a flat screen with Gorilla Glass 7i covering the front and back. Its 8mm thickness adds to a sleek and elegant appearance, and its aluminum frame guarantees endurance. Nebula Noir and Astral Trail, the latter of which is prominently featured in advertising photographs, will be the phone’s available hues.
Buds Pro 3
In addition to the two smartphones, OnePlus will release the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 in Sapphire Blue. The earphones that are currently on the market now have a new look thanks to this update.
With its selection of cutting-edge goods, OnePlus continues to create excitement as the launch date approaches.
Pet Lion Was killed After Escaping From A Lahore Home
December 22, 2024 / By Zunair Tahir / Pakistan News
According to News, a pet lion was shot and killed in Lahore after escaping its cage, resulting in a terrible event.
The incident happened at a private home in the Harbanspura region, when the lion escaped its cage. After attacking and injuring three people, the animal ran away to a nearby sewer.
After futile attempts to apprehend the lion, security guards shot the animal. After arriving on the site, police started the legal process.
Some wealthy people now view owning exotic animals, such as large cats, as a status symbol.
Rajab Butt, a YouTuber, was recently detained for publicly exhibiting guns and unlawfully maintaining a lion cub.
Following allegations that Butt was in possession of wildlife without the required license, authorities and the Wildlife Department raided his home in the Chuhng neighborhood. During the operation, the lion cub that was purportedly given to him upon his wedding was seized.
Butt was the subject of a first information report (FIR), according to a Punjab police official.

Honda recently unveiled its ambitious goals to grow its portfolio and debuted the third version of the Amaze small car in the Indian market.
Three models are now available in Honda’s Indian lineup: two sedans and one SUV. Although it boasts a powerful hybrid drivetrain, the Honda City has fallen short of the brand’s success goals. Honda hopes to make a big change to its range with the release of the new vehicles.
One of the next electric vehicles is rumored to be based on the Honda Elevate, an SUV that is now on the Indian market. This action is taken as Indian automakers progressively increase their market share in the expanding electric car market.
In addition to Toyota, Maruti Suzuki, and Hyundai getting set to join the market with new electric vehicles, well-known brands in this sector include Tata Motors, MG Motor, and Mahindra.
It is anticipated that Honda’s next models would improve its standing in this cutthroat industry.
At the Goodwood Festival Of Speed Red Bull Will Unveil The RB17 Hypercar
May 10, 2024 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News
The Advanced Technologies division of Red Bull’s Formula 1 team announced intentions to introduce their own £5 million hypercar, designed by Newey, in June 2022.
The vehicle will have a V10 engine and a carbon fiber transmission mounted on a two-seat carbon fiber monocoque chassis. Red Bull built all 50 of the cars internally, and only those will be produced.
The RB17 will be introduced on Friday 12 July in the Cathedral paddock at Goodwood and be on display for the full event.
The hypercar will be part of the team’s F1 car heritage, since the RB17 name was dropped in favor of the RB16B for the 2021 model, which was necessary due to COVID-19-related part carryover.
Since Newey has stated he would be leaving the Formula One team in early 2025, this will also be his last vehicle for Red Bull.
Red Bull CEO Christian Horner stated, “We are thrilled to introduce the RB17 to the public for the first time and couldn’t think of a better global platform than Goodwood Festival of Speed.”
“The RB17 radiates superior engineering and uniqueness. We are eager for the audience to see the ultimate performance automobile that we have created using all we know about racing.
“I’m also equally excited to be showcasing such an incredible array of vehicles and drivers at the renowned event, and I’m looking forward to commemorating our 20th season in front of such ardent motorsport enthusiasts.”
At the Goodwood unveiling, Horner and Newey will be joined by 13-time grand prix winner and former Red Bull driver David Coulthard, as well as Patrick Friesacher, a former Minardi F1 driver and Red Bull’s longest-serving exhibition driver.
As part of its 20th anniversary festivities, Red Bull will also showcase a number of F1 vehicles from its past, some of which will participate in the hillclimb competition.
The creator of the Goodwood Festival of Speed, Duke of Richmond, continued, “I am thrilled that Oracle Red Bull Racing will be joining us at the Festival of Speed this summer to celebrate their 20th anniversary.”
“I am honored that the Formula 1 team has selected the Festival of Speed as the location for the much-awaited public debut of the RB17 in this year’s poignant season.
I also know that our fans will be ecstatic when the team brings a number of their championship-winning vehicles and drivers to the event this year.”
With The 990 RC R, KTM Is Finally Bringing Back A Street Superbike
May 9, 2024 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News
Now, everyone, take a big breath; this isn’t just another desperate April Fools’ joke. It’s also not a sophisticated new Punk’d episode on MTV. Why would you even assume that, because neither of us are famous in the first place?
No, this is a genuine motorbike. This motorbike is about to arrive. And I really couldn’t be happier about it. People, KTM is manufacturing street-legal superbikes once more, and right now, we have the first information and teaser pictures of the machine, and it looks insane.
KTM 990 RC R PROTOTYPE Pit lane
Having said that, KTM will also introduce the 990 RC TRACK, a track-only, hard-core variant. The motorcycle will be “Crafted by KTM in their Austrian factory, the modifications strip away the road-legal essentials, incorporate protective components, fine-tune adjustments, customize further, and revise racing bodywork, including a full exhaust system.” A track-only model: why? Why not, that’s the reason.
While the complete model won’t be shown right away, KTM said that the 990 RC R will be “unveiled in early 2024 in the form of a prototype, making appearances as a wildcard entry in non-point scoring outings across select European Supersport series.”
The KTM 990 RC R is a ground-breaking innovation for individuals who thrive on the rush of cornering, according to Riaan Neveling, Head of KTM Global Marketing.
It’s meant for people who lean nearly knee-level with the road and then push the envelope by dragging their elbows across the racetrack’s surface. Power and reputation are available on this bike without the astronomical price. says KTM Global Marketing Head Riaan Neveling.
KTM 990 RC R PROTOTYPE STATIC
However, no information has been released on the price, weight, horsepower, torque, or any other specifications. All of it will probably happen closer to the debut date in 2025. But holy crap, this looks amazing. But what are your thoughts, everyone? Do you share my excitement for a new KTM superbike that will be on the road?
Sincerely, I’m going crazy trying to figure out where I want to take this hellion.
