Apple iPad 10th Gen For those eyeing Apple's renowned tablet, the iPad 10th Gen will be up for grabs at an enticing post-offer price anticipated to be under Rs 30,000. However, currently, the starting price stands at Rs 36,900.

Should You Buy the iPhone 12 in 2024? The iPhone 12, released in late 2020, is offered at a discounted price of Rs 40,000. However, being three years old, it comes with potential drawbacks.

On the positive side, the iPhone 12 remains a reliable phone with smooth performance. However, it faces competition from newer Android flagships featuring the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, 120Hz displays for a smoother experience, and advanced camera systems.

The iPhone 12's battery life might be impacted by 5G usage, and its OLED display lacks the 120Hz refresh rate of newer models. Additionally, camera capabilities may not be at the forefront of current technology.

Considering the possible future software limitations and the strong competition from Android phones like the OnePlus 12R and iQOO Neo 9 Pro, it's smarter to go for an Android device. But if you're set on getting an iPhone, it's better to spend a bit more and go for at least an iPhone 13.
