May 13, 2024

In a surprising turn of events, mobile phone markets across Pakistan, including big cities like Lahore and Faisalabad, are witnessing a significant shift in prices, leaving tech consumers amazed.

Reports have flooded in, indicating a substantial drop in mobile phone prices, ranging from 20 to 40 percent, which is reshaping the consumer electronics scene in these urban hubs. Once-unattainable flagship smartphones such as Samsung A series, previously priced at a hefty Rs100,000, have now become more accessible, with prices hovering around Rs65,000 to Rs70,000, opening doors for a broader audience.

Mid-Range Devices Become More Accessible

Similarly, mid-range devices such Infinix and oppo, which used to demand Rs64,000, can now be purchased for less than Rs50,000, marking a noteworthy change in affordability for Lahore’s gadget enthusiasts. But the surprises don’t end there. Smartphones priced at Rs50,000 are now available for as low as Rs35,000 to Rs38,000, signaling a democratization of high-tech gadgets in the local market.

Even entry-level mobile phones, once considered a luxury, are now within reach at Rs20,000, bringing connectivity to a larger segment of the population. Interestingly, this price drop coincides with a surge in mobile phone imports, witnessing a staggering 121 percent increase in the first three quarters of the current fiscal year. Analysts are scratching their heads over this paradox, wondering about its implications for consumer behavior in Pakistan.

The Significance Beyond Economics

But beyond the economics, this price revolution holds deeper significance. Mobile phones play a pivotal role in driving the ongoing digital revolution worldwide, and Pakistan, recognized as one of the fastest-growing markets in the telecom sector, is now at the forefront of this transformative wave.

Sonya Hussyn Questioned For Filming Sami Khan While He Was Praying

May 13, 2024

Former video jockey, and currently a renowned actress, Sonya Hussyn, made her acting debut back in 2011. She has since appeared in numerous movies and television series. Some of her projects have been with a common co-star, Sami Khan. Mansoor Aslam Khan Niazi, stage name Sami Khan, is not only a respected actor but also a model.

Sonya Records Sami Khan Praying

Sonya and Sami have been working together on a series called, Pyar Kay Naghmay. The series has been airing for almost a year now and the two have been close since. Sonya Hussyn however has been in the limelight after she shared a video of Sami Khan offering prayer on set.

Here’s the video:

Sami Khan’s video was met with great applause from fans. He was greatly appreciated for staying connected to his god and maintaining regularity in his practice. People pointed out that it is often difficult to manage prayers efficiently during work, hence praise to this actor for managing.

Though many appreciated Sami Khan offering prayer, a lot began to question why he was recorded in the first place. Sonya Hussyn has been bombarded with questions wondering why she thought offering namaz, an obligatory pillar of the religion, was a big deal. It is quite the common practice here, netizens wondered. Surely she must have thought that way considering she recorded him. Another concern that arose: it was quite disrespectful to record Sami while he was praying.

Here are some comments:

Unfortunately while many questioned the video itself, netizens took this as an opportunity to obliterate Sonya, and pin point why she herself was not praying as well.

Neither actor has had anything to say to the drama just yet. We’re guessing they likely won’t comment, and will let the matter fade over time itself, as do most matters.

Is Babar Azam Pakistan’s Most Successful T20I Captain?

Babar Azam etched his name in the record books by becoming the most successful T20I captain recently. His milestone was achieved after Pakistan’s convincing victory over Ireland in the second T20I match.

Surpassing the previous record held by Brian Masaba of Uganda, Babar now boasts an impressive tally of 45 wins in 78 matches as Pakistan’s skipper.

The significance of Babar’s achievement was duly acknowledged by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman, Mohsin Naqvi, who presented Babar with a special jersey commemorating his 45 wins as captain.

Babar’s leadership journey has been nothing short of remarkable. With 78 appearances as captain in T20Is, he also surpassed Aaron Finch’s record for the most appearances as captain.

Journey of Babar Azam as Captain

Babar Azam took charge of the national team for the first time in T20Is. He was appointed captain for the first time for the series against Australia in 2019, a month before he turned 25.

Despite starting with a series loss, his record as captain reflects excellence, with Pakistan maintaining a commendable win-loss ratio in T20Is. His win percentage of 57.69 is the fifth-highest among ICC full-member captains who led in 50 or more games.

Under his leadership, Pakistan clinched nine T20I series victories, including a memorable tr-series triumph in New Zealand. However, the last of them came in October 2022.

Notable highlights include reaching the semi-final and final of the T20 World Cups in 2021 and 2022, respectively.

He also became the first Pakistan captain to defeat India in an ICC World Cup event, when he led his team to a ten-wicket victory over arch-rivals during the 2021 T20 World Cup.

Challenges and Resilience

Operating in one of cricket’s toughest captaincy roles, Babar has faced intense scrutiny and challenges. The Pakistan captaincy demands resilience amidst constant commentary and political instability.

Pakistan lost to Zimbabwe during the 2022 T20 World Cup, after which fans called for his removal, however, the team qualified for the finals miraculously, which silenced the voices.

His captaincy came once again under scanner after Pakistan recently leveled the home T20I series against a second-string New Zealand, followed by a loss against Ireland in the first T20I. However, the chairman of PCB has backed him as captain.

Despite criticism record suggest that he is arguably the best Pakistan captain in T20I cricket and he has the ability to lead Pakistan to World Cup glory, having come short twice in past.

As Pakistan gears up for the upcoming T20 World Cup, Babar’s leadership will be pivotal in guiding the team to success. While his records speak volumes, Babar needs to acknowledge the need to enhance his tactical acumen to lead Pakistan to victory on the global stage.

Pakistan’s emphatic victory over Ireland in the second T20I encounter was overshadowed by an unfortunate incident involving Pakistani pacer Shaheen Afridi and an Afghan spectator.

Reports emerged of the spectator allegedly misbehaving with Afridi as he made his way from the dressing room to the field.

Initially, Afridi chose to ignore the derogatory remarks from the Afghan fan. However, as the behaviour persisted, Afridi took prompt action by informing the security personnel present at the venue.

Swift measures were taken, and the spectator was promptly removed from the ground, ensuring the safety and dignity of the players.

Despite the off-field distraction, Pakistan exhibited a commanding performance on the field, securing a comprehensive seven-wicket victory over Ireland.

During the match, Shaheen Afridi achieved a significant milestone, reaching 300 wickets in international cricket with the dismissal of Irish captain Paul Stirling.

Mohsin Naqvi, the chairman of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), presented Afridi with special jersey to honor his achievement after the match.

Initially, Pakistan faced early setbacks, losing Saim Ayub and skipper Babar Azam cheaply. However, Mohammad Rizwan and Fakhar Zaman turned the tide with a remarkable partnership.

Rizwan and Fakhar’s monumental 140-run partnership, which surpassed Pakistan’s previous record for the third wicket in T20Is, laid the foundation for Pakistan’s successful chase.

Rizwan’s unbeaten 75 off 46 balls, complemented by Fakhar’s blistering 78 off 40 deliveries, propelled Pakistan towards victory.

Additionally, Azam Khan’s aggressive cameo of 30* off 10 balls further consolidated Pakistan’s position, ensuring a comfortable chase for the Men in Green.

Pakistan’s wicketkeeper-batter, Mohammad Rizwan, showcased his batting prowess in a spectacular unbeaten inning of 75 runs off just 46 balls during Pakistan’s seven-wicket victory over Ireland in the second T20I.

His outstanding performance earned him the coveted Man of the Match award, marking his 12th such accolade in T20Is.

Rizwan’s exceptional batting display not only contributed to Pakistan’s triumph but also highlighted his impressive batting average, making him only the second player in T20I history to boast an average of 50+. Joining the illustrious ranks alongside former Indian captain Virat Kohli, Rizwan’s average stands at an impressive 50.38, while Kohli’s is 51.75.

However, Rizwan’s bold statement after the match caught everyone’s attention, asserting that any player who plays for the average inevitably becomes an average player themselves.

During the post-match conference, he acknowledged the significance of focusing on the game’s demands rather than fixating solely on individual statistics.

Drawing inspiration from Kohli, Rizwan emphasized the importance of adapting to match situations and conditions to excel as a cricketer.

“If you look at the average, you are an average player. If you look at the conditions and what the game demands, that will make you better. We have learned a lot of things from Virat Kohli, I respect him,” Rizwan remarked, reflecting on his approach towards batting.

Rizwan also praised the resilience of the Ireland bowlers and highlighted the mindset adopted by the Pakistan batters during the chase. Despite the initial pressure, Rizwan and Fakhar Zaman orchestrated a remarkable partnership to steer Pakistan towards victory.

“They played really well against us. It was not an easy chase because the Ireland bowlers knew their conditions better, they gave us a difficult time early on, but we decided that chasing 194, we have to attack,” Rizwan stated, acknowledging the team’s collective effort.

As Pakistan gears up to face India in a highly anticipated clash at the upcoming T20 World Cup, the spotlight will undoubtedly be on the batting prowess of Rizwan and Kohli.

With the ICC T20 World Cup set to ignite the fervour of cricket fans worldwide, all eyes will be on the showdown between India and Pakistan on June 9th in New York, as these two luminaries aim to showcase their batting brilliance on the grand stage.

May 10, 2024

In a recent development, a Karachi court has granted bail to YouTuber Yasir Shami in connection with the video leak case involving Dr. Aamir Liaquat. The court’s decision came with certain conditions, requiring Yasir to appear before the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to provide his statement and submit Rs500,000 in surety bonds.

Yasir Shami had previously defied repeated summons, leading to the issue of an arrest warrant against him. Meanwhile, Dania Shah, the main accused in the case, also made an appearance in court. She has been out on bail, and witnesses have begun recording their statements in the ongoing legal proceedings.

Yasir Shami and Dania Shah’s Involvement

The news of these developments has sparked discussions on social media. Many follow the story closely. The case has its roots in the tragic passing of TV personality Dr. Aamir Liaquat in 2020, which marked the beginning of a series of legal battles for his children. Despite allegedly being divorced from Aamir, Dania Shah continued to be involved in legal matters related to his estate and inheritance.

Dania’s involvement in the video leak case, which reportedly emotionally affected Aamir Liaquat, resulted in her brief incarceration. She had also initiated legal proceedings to have Aamir’s body exhumed for post-mortem examination. These events have shed light on the complexities surrounding Aamir Liaquat’s personal life and the legal challenges faced by his family following his untimely demise at the age of 50.

The developments in the video leak case highlight significantly the importance of legal accountability and the need for due process in resolving disputes. As the legal proceedings continue, the public awaits further updates on the outcome of the case and its implications for all parties involved. We hope for a fair trial to continue.

Apple Apologizes Following Outrage Over ‘Crush’ iPad Ad

By

May 10, 2024

Apple is making headlines again, but this time it’s for an apology rather than a groundbreaking innovation. The tech titan recently found itself in hot water over a promotional video for its latest iPad Pro model titled “Crush.” The ad, which showcased a number of creative instruments like guitars and paintbrushes being crushed by an industrial machine, received swift backlash from online critics.

Online Criticism and Discontent

In response to the uproar, Apple issued a public apology through Ad Age magazine, acknowledging that they had missed the mark with the ad. The company expressed regret for not aligning with its core values of celebrating user creativity and apologized for any offense caused.

The controversy surrounding the “Crush” ad highlights a departure from Apple’s usual brand image. Historically, Apple has positioned itself as a nonconformist, human-friendly brand that champions creativity and innovation. However, the ad’s portrayal of destruction clashed with this image, leading to accusations of insensitivity.

Innovation During Controversy

Online commentators were quick to voice their discontent, emphasizing that the ad contradicted Apple’s ethos of empowering users to express themselves. Actor Hugh Grant took to social media platform X to criticize the ad, condemning it as “the destruction of the human experience courtesy of Silicon Valley.”

Despite the backlash, Apple’s marketing efforts have not gone unnoticed. The “Crush” ad garnered over a million views on Apple’s YouTube channel and received social media endorsement from CEO Tim Cook. However, the controversy overshadowed the promotional campaign, prompting Apple to issue an apology and redirect inquiries to the Ad Age report.

Lessons Learned for Apple

The timing of the ad debacle coincided with Apple’s unveiling of the new iPad Pro model, featuring a groundbreaking M4 chip for enhanced performance. The tablet boasts upgraded displays and is touted as the thinnest Apple product ever. Despite the product’s impressive specifications, the controversy surrounding the ad threatened to overshadow its launch.

The “Crush” ad controversy serves as a reminder of the importance of staying true to brand values and considering the sensitivities of consumers in promotional campaigns. As Apple moves forward, it will need to reassess its marketing strategies to ensure they align with its core principles of innovation, creativity, and user empowerment.

Huawei’s Pura 70 Pro: Mostly ‘Made in China’ With One Big Surprise

By

May 10, 2024

Huawei’s latest smartphone, the Pura 70 Pro, has been subject to a detailed teardown by repair tools companies and online reviewers, shedding light on its composition and performance. The examination revealed that the majority of components in the device are made in China, with one notable exception.

Chinese Components

The Pura 70 Pro, exclusive to the Chinese market, underwent thorough scrutiny by iFixit, with the assistance of Reuters in obtaining the device. The teardown provided insights into the smartphone’s internal structure and performance capabilities, particularly focusing on Huawei’s latest Kirin 9010 System on a Chip (SoC).

Comparisons between the Kirin 9010 and its predecessor, the Kirin 9000S, unveiled striking similarities. Both chips share the same model ID and exhibit comparable performance metrics. iFixit suggests that the 9010 may represent a refreshed version of the 9000S, potentially boasting improved yields and marginal performance enhancements. However, benchmarks indicate that the Kirin 9010 offers only a modest eight percent increase in speed over its predecessor, falling significantly short of competitors like Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

Challenges in Domestic Production

Additionally, the teardown highlighted Huawei’s increasing reliance on domestically sourced components. Notably, the device features a HiSilicon NAND chip with 1 TB of storage, a component unavailable in European models. While Huawei’s efforts to localize production are evident, certain components such as DRAM and motion sensors continue to be sourced from international suppliers due to existing constraints.

However, Huawei’s ambitions to achieve full domestic production face significant challenges, particularly in semiconductor manufacturing. The company’s reliance on deep ultraviolet (DUV) lithography, in contrast to extreme ultraviolet (EUV) technology, poses obstacles to scaling production. With international sanctions restricting access to crucial EUV machines, Huawei’s semiconductor endeavors encounter substantial hurdles.

Despite investments in developing proprietary lithography tools, the feasibility of Huawei’s production aspirations remains uncertain. The absence of EUV technology in China’s semiconductor industry threatens the scalability of chip manufacturing, impeding efforts to produce modern processors at scale.

As Huawei navigates these challenges, the company’s ability to innovate and adapt to evolving semiconductor technologies will be crucial in sustaining its competitiveness in the global market. However, the road to achieving self-sufficiency in chip production is fraught with obstacles, underscoring the complexities of China’s semiconductor landscape in an era of heightened technological competition.

In a recent Platform X thread, individuals from all walks of life have come together to share their experiences of quitting coffee. Their results are nothing short of eye-opening. From improved sleep to relief from migraines, the shared experiences explain the transformative effects of giving up this beloved morning drink.

Shred Health Improvements After Quitting Coffee

For many participants in the thread, one of the most noticeable benefits of kicking the coffee habit has been improved sleep quality. Several users reported experiencing deeper, more restful sleep. They stated that they were now waking up feeling more refreshed and energized than ever before. By eliminating caffeine from their daily routine, they found themselves falling asleep faster for longer. Moreover, enjoying more uninterrupted sleep throughout the night.

I stick to drinking coffee in the mornings and cut out coffee at evenings or use decaf if I really feel like a cup — and that has helped with some improvement in sleep quality.

Numerous individuals shared how quitting coffee had positively impacted their gut health. Many reported feeling less bloated and experiencing fewer digestive issues after cutting out caffeine. By removing a potential irritant from their diet, they were able to restore balance to their digestive system.

Perhaps most surprising were those who found relief from chronic migraines after quitting coffee. Eliminating caffeine significantly reduced the frequency and severity of headaches for many, allowing them to live more comfortably.

I’ve had no choice. The caffeine in coffee triggers migraines now. Yet caffeine helps relieve the migraine pain afterwards… curious.

— Adrian Eves (@swifteves) May 10, 2024

Furthermore, many participants noted improvements in their skin health after giving up coffee. Some reported clearer, more radiant skin with fewer breakouts and less inflammation.

Overall, the Platform X thread serves as a reminder of the impact that small lifestyle changes can have on our health. While quitting coffee may initially seem difficult, the shared experiences by those who have made the effort offer encouragement and inspiration for anyone considering making the switch. From better sleep and improved gut health to relief from migraines and clearer skin, the benefits of quitting coffee are clear—and they may just change your life for the better.

Netizens have compared her to Indian actress Urfi Javed, known for her bold and revealing outfits, with some commenting that Amna is “obsessed with Bollywood culture” and suffering from “Met Gala Fever”. Many have also criticized her for being “too ridiculous” and “crossing boundaries”.

Despite the criticism, Amna’s photoshoot got people talking about women’s rights, body freedom, and expressing yourself. Some liked her boldness, but others said she was promoting things against Pakistani culture.

Amna’s move to disable comments has stirred up a discussion about censorship and the right to speak freely. Some folks commend her for blocking out hate and negativity. On the flip side, there are those who see it as a way to silence critics and dodge responsibility.

Former Pakistan captain Younis Khan has offered valuable advice to the national team’s top-order batters, including Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Fakhar Zaman, ahead of the highly anticipated T20 World Cup 2024.

Speaking to the media in Karachi, Khan emphasized the critical importance of scoring quick runs during the middle overs of T20I cricket, stressing the necessity of maintaining a healthy run rate of 8-9 runs per over post-powerplay.

“In modern T20 cricket, a score of 170 is no longer sufficient. Teams need to aim for at least 200 runs to secure a competitive advantage,” Khan stated, underlining the need for aggressive batting strategies to achieve this target.

He specifically addressed Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman, and Mohammad Rizwan, urging them to elevate their batting tempo and adapt to the dynamic demands of contemporary T20 cricket.

“Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman, and Rizwan will have to go to the next gear. Nowadays, more runs can be scored at a rapid pace,” Khan emphasized, highlighting the pivotal role of key players in shaping the team’s performance.

“It is the responsibility of the players to play aggressively and set a formidable total.”

Acknowledging the evolving nature of T20 cricket, Khan stressed the importance of flexibility and collective effort within the team, urging players to contribute effectively in various situations and positions.

“Captains need to think creatively, and players must step out of their comfort zones to support team objectives,” Khan remarked, advocating for a collaborative approach towards achieving success in the T20 World Cup.

As Pakistan embarks on their tour of Ireland, Khan’s words of wisdom serve as a guiding beacon for the team’s aspirations.

With the upcoming series serving as a crucial preparatory phase for the T20 World Cup, Pakistan aims to leverage their squad’s potential and secure their second title, following their triumph under Khan’s leadership in 2009.

With stalwarts like Mohammad Amir, who made his debut under Khan’s captaincy, the current squad holds promise for a successful campaign in the prestigious tournament.

Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi has raised eyebrows over the omission of all-rounder Aamir Jamal from the national T20I squad for the upcoming series against Ireland and England.

As the Pakistan team gears up for a series of matches in Ireland followed by England, Afridi expressed his surprise during a press interaction in Karachi. He highlighted the absence of Mohammad Wasim Jr. and Aamir Jamal from the squad, despite their previous contributions.

“It’s surprising to see Mohammad Wasim Jr. being dropped after being in the team for a significant period,” Afridi remarked, questioning the selection decisions made by the team management.

He further emphasized the significance of Jamal, drawing comparisons to the legendary Abdul Razzaq. Afridi expressed bewilderment at Jamal’s exclusion, citing his potential as a valuable all-rounder for the team.

“After Abdul Razzaq, we saw a good all-rounder in Aamir Jamal, it’s surprising he wasn’t retained,” Shahid Afridi stated.

“A good captain takes important decisions in difficult times. We want Babar to become a great captain as much as he is a great player,” Afridi asserted, emphasizing the pivotal role of captaincy in achieving success in the upcoming T20 World Cup.

Afridi’s comments were in response to Babar’s explanation behind the exclusion of Jamal from the T20I squad format. Babar stated that the all-rounder needs to gain more experience and exposure in order to refine his skills for the fast-paced T20 format.

“Aamir Jamal performed admirably in Test cricket, but Test performance cannot be directly compared to T20s,” Babar stated. “In T20 cricket, we require a genuine hitter in the position where Jamal bats. He needs more time and matches to further polish his game for the T20 format.”
