Founded in a garage in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne, Apple began as a personal computer pioneer that today makes everything from laptops to portable media players. Headquartered in Cupertino, California, the consumer electronics giant entered the smartphone market with the iPhone in 2007, and the tablet market with the iPad in 2010, and the smartwatch market with the Apple Watch in 2014.
On the Android side of things, picking a phone is an extremely complicated decision. Unless you are brand-loyal, there are tonnes of features to be accounted for before one arrives at a decision. And this is because they come in all shapes and sizes, with varying hardware configurations and even different software experiences, even though they are all based on Google's Android. On the iOS side of things, well… not so much.
10th-anniversary product! Yes, the Apple Watch series has existed for a decade, and the Apple Watch Series 10 smartwatch is a special product. At least, this is what the rumour mills claimed before the company's September launch event.

Beats Solo Buds — the latest truly wireless stereo (TWS) headset from Apple's subsidiary — was launched in India in August, two months after they were introduced in the US. This model offers longer playback time on a single charge compared to its more expensive siblings, but the charging case doesn't provide any additional battery life. The Beats Solo Buds works with iOS and Android smartphones and features customisable buttons on each earphone. I've spent a few days with the TWS headset, trying to find out if it can stand out in a highly competitive price segment.
