Catastrophe is too big a word to be used, specially in technical terms. But that’s the word which came to my mind after seeing the latest happenings surrounding the iPhone 4S launch in India. If the pricing of iPhone 4S was a shocker, the newly released ‘attractive’ data plans from one of the two operators releasing iPhone 4S should be termed disaster. More on that later. iPhone continues to be jinxed in India....

With those words, a young PR executive pretty much brought the high-flying iPad Pro crashing down from divinity to more more mortal territory. Not her fault, really. She was following standard protocol in these paper-saving times – handing over information about a product to a writer on technology on that device that all iOS uses hate: a USB drive.

Do not get us wrong, the Note 5 feels strong and sturdy with its metal back, but there is nothing exciting about its looks....
