Pavel Jelic We will have to wait for the Apple Watch 6
At Apple, the presentation of new iPhones is already an annual tradition, which is associated with the autumn month of September. Along with the apple phone, the Apple Watch also goes hand in hand. They are usually presented on the same occasion. However, this year was disrupted by the global pandemic of the disease COVID-19, and until recently it was not clear how it would be with the introduction of new products. Fortunately, Apple itself gave us a small hint that the iPhone will be delayed with its release. But how is the apple watch doing?
Last month, the well-known leaker Jon Prosser brought us more detailed information. According to him, the watch together with the iPad should be presented through a press release, in the second week of September, while the iPhone will be presented at a virtual conference in October. But currently, another leaker with the nickname L0vetodream made himself heard. He shared the information through a post on Twitter and says that we simply won't see the new Apple Watch this month (meaning September).

iPhone 11 is the best-selling phone in the first half of the year
In short, last year's iPhone 11 was successful for Apple. A relatively strong group of owners who are extremely satisfied with the phone speaks of its popularity. We just received a new survey from the company Om Day, which additionally confirms this statement. Omdia looked at the sales of smartphones for the first half of the year and brought very interesting data along with the numbers.

The first place was won by Apple with its iPhone 11. A total of 37,7 million units were sold, which is also 10,8 million more than last year's best-selling model, the iPhone XR. Behind the success of last year's model is undoubtedly its low price tag. The iPhone 11 is 1500 crowns cheaper compared to the XR variant, and it also offers first-class performance along with a number of other great gadgets. The second place was taken by Samsung with its Galaxy A51 model, namely 11,4 million units sold, and in third place was the Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 phone with 11 million units sold.
Apple appeared in the TOP 10 best-selling smartphones list several times. As you can see in the image attached above, the second-generation iPhone SE took a beautiful fifth place, followed by the iPhone XR, followed by the iPhone 11 Pro Max, and on the last rung we can see the iPhone 11 Pro.
118 other apps were banned in India along with PUBG Mobile
118 other apps were banned in India along with the popular game PUBG Mobile. The apps themselves are said to be damaging to India's sovereignty, defense and integrity, as well as endangering state security and public order. The magazine was the first to report on this news Midwife and the ban itself is the fault of the Minister of Electronics and Information Technology there.
As a result, a total of 224 applications have already been banned on the territory of the country this year, mainly for security reasons and concerns about China. The first wave came in June, when 59 programs were removed, led by TikTok and WeChat, and then another 47 applications were banned in July. According to the minister, the privacy of citizens must be taken care of, which is unfortunately threatened by these applications.
