At the height of the Indo-Pakistan war, in mid-September 1965, Britain’s ITN broadcast a 15-minute report from what they called ‘another potential starting point for a Third World War’. The images were not of Indian and Pakistani soldiers in disputed Kashmir. Instead, the dramatic footage showed Indian and Chinese soldiers 14,000 feet up on the other side of the Himalayas, on either side of the border between the Kingdom of Sikkim (an Indian protectorate perched between Nepal and Bhutan) and Chi

Linktree, the popular link-in-bio service used by millions of creators and businesses, has been inaccessible in India for several days — and its sudden disappearance from the Indian web remains a mystery, even to the Australian startup itself. Over the past week, Linktree has been inaccessible in India, with a few users raising the issue on X. Initially, TechCrunch noticed that the site briefly displayed a message suggesting it had been blocked by the Indian government. Later, this was replaced

Shifting final assembly of Apple products like iPhone from China to India has helped Apple avoid costly tariffs in the United States. But what happens when the US imposes similar tariffs in India to those seen in China? While the risk is present, analyst Gene Munster doesn’t see it as catastrophic for the cost of the iPhone.

US iPhones: ‘Made in India’, built in China

Apple may say that most iPhones sold in the U.S. are now assembled in India, but that doesn’t necessarily mean Apple has reduced its reliance on China. Patrick McGee, who literally wrote the book on Apple in China, explains. For the last two quarters, Apple CEO Tim Cook has noted that iPhones sold in the U.S. are sourced from India. The move, of course, allows Apple to avoid those pesky Trump tariffs on products exported from China and sold in the United States. Responding to a technically tru
