Apple iPhone 8 expected to be priced upto $1,199


With just a week left for the Apple iPhone 8 to debut, the tenth anniversary iPhone might shock fans with its pricing. With a predicted price of $1,199, the iPhone 8 translates to Rs. 76,700 in terms of the Indian price.
Benjamin Geskin posted the probable prices for this year’s iPhone, and the storage variants show a big difference in price between them. The Apple iPhone 8 may come with 64GB, 256GB, and 512GB models. This means that the good old 32GB and 128GB are out of the picture.

iPhone 8 Pricing

According to leaks by Benjamin Geskin, the iPhone 8 64GB variant will be priced at $999 (Roughly Rs. 64,000). The bigger 256GB variant will be available for $1,099 (Roughly Rs. 70,400), and the 512GB variant will go for a whopping $1,199 (Roughly Rs. 76,880).
This puts the iPhone pricing and memory very intricately. While you pay $100 (Roughly Rs. 6,040) extra for upgrading from a 64GB to 256GB variant, you end up paying $100 more to double up the storage from 256GB to 512GB.

Google removes 300 Android apps that secretly hijacked phones for DDoS attacks

Around  300 apps have been withdrawn  from Google’s Play Store after they were found to be secretly hijacking Android devices to supply traffic for wide-scale distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, as noted by  Gizmodo . Google removed apps that offered services like ringtones and storage managers after security researchers uncovered the “WireX” botnet was behind the ploy. Malware was hidden inside the affected apps, and as long as the device remained switched on it was used in DDoS attacks. Researchers at cloud services provider Akamai discovered WireX after a hospitality company suffered from a DDoS attack involving hundreds of thousands of IP addresses. DDoS attacks work by overwhelming a target with large amounts of data from multiple IP addresses, and they’re effective at taking down websites and services that can’t cope with a data influx. Google said in a statement it’s currently in the process of removing the malicious apps from affected devices, an...

The Google Play Support page mentions the same HTC 2Q9J1000 model number we saw earlier. Seeing how this is a Pro there is likely to be a vanilla version in the pipeline as well, but we haven't heard anything about it. HTC Desire 20 Pro certifications When the phones eventually arrive, they will be a follow-up of the Desire 19 lineup that brought us the Desire 19s and Desire 19+ . Both of them had unimpressive Helio chipsets (respectively P22 and P35) and the main camera was 13 MP f/1.9 with PDAF on both of them. Hopefully, this year’s Desire lineup will get in line with the current trends and introduce big batteries, fast charging, and better cameras if HTC w...
