Vivo launched the X Fold 3 Pro along with its sibling, or rather, the vanilla variant, last month in China. Just a few days ago, the global variant’s model number with the moniker was spotted on SDPPI certification, confirming that the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro will be making its debut in the global market. Today, we have spotted it on the Bluetooth SIG, TKDN, and BIS certification websites.

Vivo X Fold 3 Pro spotted on BIS, Bluetooth SIG and TKDN

Starting with the Bluetooth SIG, which further confirmed the model number “V2330” as the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro, the listing shows it will be equipped with Bluetooth version 5.4 and was listed on April 23rd 2024. Moving onto the BIS certification, it was first spotted by 91mobiles, and this same model number is present on that certification, as seen on the Bluetooth SIG. The only drawback of the BIS certification is that the moniker is not present. However, earlier sightings on the SDPPI and today’s Bluetooth SIG add value to the belief that the model number V2330 is indeed the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro.

Lastly, the TKDN certification reveals that the network connectivity will include “5G NR; FDD-LTE: B1/3/5/8; TDD-LTE: B40; GSM: 900/1800 MHz; WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz” but doesn’t provide much additional information.

So far, only the Pro variant has been spotted on several certifications, which leads me to believe that the Vanilla variant may be dropped. It is currently unknown whether Vivo will launch the same variant of the X Fold 3 Pro that is available in China or if there will be any variants.

From my past experience reporting on gadgets, typically after a gadget appears on the Bluetooth SIG, it is released within a month or two. So, I would guess it will be either May or June. As usual, my favorite disclaimer: these are early sightings, and we should always wait for the official confirmation from the brand.

It is indeed to hear this said news that Apple is all set to increase the cost of out-of-warranty battery replacement. According to Apple, the cost will be increased by $20 USD, which would mean you will now have to pay extra for the battery replacement. Currently, according to the information available, this price hike will be effective from 1st March 2023.

We also got the information that the pricing for MacBook Air battery replacement will also be increased by $30 USD and for all MacBook and MacBook Pro models by $50 USD. If we talk about iPads the cost will increase by the same amount as of iPhones which is $20 USD for the following models:

• iPad Pro 12.9” (5th generation and prior),
• iPad Pro 11” (3rd generation and prior),
• The iPad Pro 10.5”,
• iPad Pro 9.7”,
• iPad mini (6th generation and prior), and iPad Air (5th generation and prior).

How much does it cost now to get a battery replaced by Apple?

If we talk about the current price of a battery replacement for iPhone 13 and other full-screen iPhone models, it costs about $69 USD. After this price hike, the cost will be increased to $89 USD. If you have an older version with a lock button the current cost of battery replacement is around $49 USD and after this price hike, it will be around $69 USD.

This price change will be effective for other countries also not only USA. This would mean for a person in India will have to pay around ₹2400 extra by the 1st of march 2023.

Currently, there is no information available as to why this decision is being taken up by Apple. We even tried to reach apple at the time of framing this article but weren’t able to get any reply.

The company has already updated its estimated page, where you can get an estimation of charges.

The companies website states

The current out-of-warranty battery service fee will apply until the end of February 2023. Effective March 1, 2023, the out-of-warranty battery service fee will be increased by $20 for all iPhone models prior to iPhone 14.

Recently there was news about Apple going to lower the pricing of the iPhone 14 series because of its nonperformance the company expected. And now all of a sudden news broke out that Apple is going to increase the cost of Battery replacement.

Flipkart which is always in the headlines because of offers and sometimes bad experiences of customers is yet again in the news. However, this time it’s the scammers who are trying to use Flipkart’s name to scam innocent customers.

Here is what happened

Today on Twitter, a suspicious Twitter account tagged us on Twitter that if you need help contact this secondary customer care number. This was out of the ordinary as we publish news, not customer feedback.

The suspicious Twitter account posted on our Twitter page Dear Customer, “We regret the inconvenience you have . Request you to share your contact number via DM and we shall get in touch with you at the Flipkart customer support Calling four secondary number 8590342331 Thank you !

How do we know it’s a scam?

First of all the Twitter account has no followers and is not even verified. Secondly, the username is quite funny which is @Flipkard2. There is no banner on its Twitter account and the whole thing looked suspicious and a big no-no.

We as a responsible news media house informed Twitter via its official Twitter handle and also tagged twitter support to take a look into this matter. So far this account is still running and when we visited this account it has been working quite well. This account has been tagging anyone with the Flipkart name attached to their tweet. So far there has been no update from Flipkart or Twitter on this matter.

So it’s better to spread the word out there so that innocent people can be saved from this new scam. Also, inform your elders not to talk or share any personal details over the phone with anyone.
