Apple just dropped a $599 MacBook Neo powered by last-gen iPhone silicon, and it's genuinely impressive. That's roughly ₹50,000 when it hits India, undercutting most premium Chromebooks. Here's why this tiny laptop exposes exactly what's wrong with Google's Tensor strategy.

• ●Powered by A17 Pro chip from iPhone 15 Pro — last year's flagship silicon
• ●Expected ₹50,000 price in India, significantly cheaper than MacBook Air
• ●Battery life claims seem optimistic for such a compact form factor

A $599 MacBook Neo shouldn't compete with a Pininfarina-designed Android phone, but here we are in 2026. The Infinix Note 60 Ultra costs roughly ₹45,000 while Apple's entry laptop sits at ₹50,000 — and honestly, that price overlap creates the weirdest buying decision of the year. One's a proper computer, the other's a Ferrari-designed phone that thinks it's premium.

• ●MacBook Neo packs Apple's M4 chip at just $599, making it genuinely affordable for students
• ●Infinix Note 60 Ultra expected at ₹45,000 on Flipkart with 12-month EMI options
• ●Neither device offers expandable storage — both lock you into their ecosystem completely

Nothing has abandoned its signature see-through design after four years, switching to opaque backs across its entire 2026 lineup. The Phone (3) starts at ₹32,000 with a solid aluminum rear that hides all internals. It's the end of an era that defined the brand's entire identity.

• ●Phone (3) drops transparent back for solid aluminum design, breaking 4-year tradition
• ●Starting price of ₹32,000 puts it against OnePlus 12R and iQOO Neo 9 Pro
• ●Glyph interface now reduced to just 3 LED strips instead of elaborate patterns

Motorola's Edge 70 Fusion just landed in India with a massive 7,000mAh battery and Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 — easily the biggest battery we've seen at this price point. It's positioned around ₹20,000, directly challenging the Redmi Note series and Realme's mid-range lineup. The European version we handled at MWC was promising, but the Indian variant has some tweaks that actually make it more interesting.

• ●7,000mAh battery with 68W fast charging — fully charged in 52 minutes
• ●Expected price around ₹19,999-₹21,999 on Flipkart from next week
• ●No wireless charging despite the premium positioning feels odd

Apple's iPhone 17e at $599 is making the iPhone 16 look overpriced, honestly. That's roughly ₹50,000 in India, if it launches here as expected. The thing is, this isn't just another budget iPhone — it's got flagship specs that actually make sense.

• ●iPhone 17e priced at $599 globally, expected ₹50,000 in India
• ●A17 Pro chip with 8GB RAM — same performance as iPhone 16 Pro
• ●Still uses Lightning port while Android rivals moved to USB-C years ago

Honor strapped a human to a zipline held together only by their new foldable's hinge mechanism — and it worked. The Magic V6 will likely cost around ₹80,000 when it hits India later this year. This is either brilliant marketing or complete madness, and honestly I'm not sure which.

• ●Magic V6 hinge mechanism literally held a person's weight on a zipline
• ●Expected India price around ₹80,000 based on global pricing patterns
• ●Still no IPX8 rating despite all this structural integrity claims
