Truecaller has announced its new update for iPhone users globally. This update adds real-time caller ID and automatic spam call blocking on iOS 18.2. These features, along with other enhancements and the introduction of a Premium Family subscription plan, are being rolled out globally for paying subscribers.

The update is expected to significantly boost Truecaller’s subscription revenues, with the company aiming to surpass 1 billion SEK in recurring revenues in the coming years. Currently, iOS users account for approximately 7% (30 million) of Truecaller’s total 435 million monthly active users (MAUs). Among Truecaller’s 2.6 million paying subscribers, around 750,000 are iOS users, contributing to over 40% of the company’s premium revenue.

Previously, Truecaller’s caller ID functionality on iOS was limited to a small local database on users’ devices. The latest update integrates Truecaller’s global database and AI capabilities to identify as many calls as possible. Apple’s new Live Caller ID Lookup framework, designed for apps like Truecaller, enables live caller ID with privacy-preserving homomorphic encryption. Truecaller is the first company to deploy this technology at scale for caller identification.

Another key addition is automatic spam call blocking, a long-requested feature among iOS users. Truecaller Premium subscribers can now benefit from these features globally at the same pricing as the Android offering. Free users on iOS will continue to have access to ad-supported manual number search and verified business caller ID.

The update also introduces a Premium Family subscription plan, allowing users to share Premium benefits, such as Truecaller AI Assistant, with up to four additional people. In India, the family plan includes fraud insurance, extending protection against fraud to four more family members.

Truecaller’s premium tier on iOS starts at $9.99 a month, per individual, or $74.99/year. The company also offers its family plan on iOS starting at $14.99/month or $99.99/year and the top-end Gold subscription at $249 a year.

Fredrik Kjell, COO of Truecaller, highlighted the potential of the new features: “With this we further accelerate the growth potential of our fast-growing and steady subscription revenues and our ambition to surpass 1 bn SEK in recurring revenues in the coming years. All iOS-users will be offered a free trial of our new improved service but then it will just be available for paying subscribers. With this launch we see a substantial opportunity to further increase the conversion rate on iOS which already today is more than five times higher on iOS compared to Android.”

Truecaller’s CEO, Rishit Jhunjhunwala, also expressed excitement about the update: “We are proud that we, now 15 years after Truecaller’s inception, are able to offer iOS-users the same world-class leading Caller-ID and spam blocking experience as we have developed on Android. With this launch we increase our addressable market substantially, to other segments of users and to other geographies with a higher iOS-penetration.”

To enable Truecaller on iOS 18.2, users need to:

1. Ensure they are using Truecaller for iPhone version 14.0 or later.
2. Go to iPhone Settings > Apps > Phone > Call Blocking & Identification.
3. Enable all Truecaller switches and reopen the Truecaller app.

The new features, including automatic spam blocking and real-time caller ID, are being rolled out starting today and will be available worldwide within the coming days.

Back in June 2024, Reliance Jio announced up to 25% hike on its prepaid and postpaid plans which arrived as a shock for the Jio users and it is now revealed that the company might be planning to hike its value plans as well.

If you don’t know about Jio Value plans, these are plans that are meant to keep your Jio SIM active at the lowest cost with unlimited voice calling and other benefits for a decent duration, however, there is no unlimited 5G or significant amount of 4G data included with these plans. Currently, there are three value plans- Rs. 189, Rs 479, and Rs 1899 and these plans arrive with unlimited voice calling. These are prepaid plans and have additional benefits per the plan.

Today tipster @yabhishekhd shared that Jio may soon hike value plans while there could now be 4 value plans.

Jio to hike value plans

As per the Jio data available on the Jio website, the Rs 479 plan will include Unlimited voice calls, 1000 SMS, and subscriptions to Jio Cinema, Jio TV, and Jio Cloud. The validity of this plan is 84 days.

The previous Rs 479 plan will now cost Rs 539 (price hike of Rs 60) and include unlimited voice calling, 1000 SMS, 6GB data, and subscriptions to Jio TV, Jio Cinema, and Jio Cloud. The validity of this plan is 84 days.

Then there is a new Rs 1999 plan that includes benefits like unlimited voice calling, up to 3600 SMS, and subscriptions to Jio TV, Jio Cinema, and Jio Cloud. The validity of this plan is 365 days.

The previous Rs 1899 plan will now cost Rs 2249 (price hike of Rs 350). It includes benefits like unlimited voice calling, up to 3600 SMS, 24GB Data, and subscriptions to Jio TV, Jio Cinema, and Jio Cloud. The validity of this plan is 336 days.

Do note that Jio Cinema premium is not included in a complimentary Jio Cinema subscription. Well, Jio has yet not made any official announcement but since the data is found onthe  Jio website, the company is expected to announce this price hike and a new value plan soon.

Next month in February 2025, the tech world is said to witness the debut of a lot of new smartphone devices and now, a reliable tipster on the Weibo platform has tipped the possible upcoming devices.

Here’s more about the latest update.

New Phones Said to Debut in February 2025

This update comes from the tipster – Digital Chat Station who in his Weibo post notes that five new smartphone models are confirmed to break their cover next month in February 2025. This includes Xiaomi’s 15 Ultra iterative camera flagship, OPPO’s Find N5 book-like or horizontally-folding flagship, Realme’s Neo 7 SE device, Huawei’s Pocket 3 clamshell foldable, as well as an undisclosed Snapdragon 8 Elite mid-range performance phone. These new devices will be unveiled in the Chinese market following the Chinese New Year or Spring Festival of this year (29th January 2025).

Speaking more, both the Snapdragon 8 Elite (7-core)-powered Find N5 and Dimensity 8400 Ultra-powered Realme Neo 7 SE devices are officially confirmed to launch next month in China, while previous reports also suggest that the Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered Xiaomi 15 Ultra will also probably launch in the same month itself. The previous Huawei Pocket 2 smartphone was launched in February 2024 and considering this, its successor – the Huawei Pocket 3 is also being expected to launch in the same time frame this year – in February (or maybe March) 2025 as per previous updates.

Regarding the undisclosed Snapdragon 8 Elite mid-range performance phone, the tech world has two guesses, it could either be the Realme GT 7 or Honor GT Pro. Both these smartphones are believed to use the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip itself, and the Realme GT 7 was also recently tipped to launch next month in February 2025. However, the Honor GT Pro launch was earlier reported to be in Q2 2025.

More updates can be expected in the coming days, which will reveal more details about these upcoming smartphones and their exact launch dates. Stay tuned until then.

Based on recent reports, the Cupertino-based tech maker Apple is believed to unveil four new devices early this year in 2025, and these are expected to include the iPhone SE 4, iPad 11, iPad Air 13 (2025), and iPad Air 11 (2025) models.

Via a new update (from Weibo tipster – Experience more), few key details pertaining to the upcoming devices have been shared online, suggesting the processor and design features of some of the above mentioned Apple products. Read more about it below.

iPhone SE 4, iPad 11, iPad Air 13 (2025), and iPad Air 11 (2025) – Revealed Details

As per the source code listings itself, we are able to find the four mentioned Apple devices – ‘iPhone SE (4th Gen)’, ‘iPad (11th Gen)’, ‘iPad Air 13″ (M3)’, and ‘iPad Air 11″ (M3)’, and it has been pointed out that unlike what was previously revealed, the iPad Air 13 (2025) and iPad Air 11 (2025) are probably going to use the brand’s M3 chip and not the M4 chip. [To note, the iPhone SE 4 and iPad 11 are reportedly going to be powered by the A18 processor]

Furthermore, what seems to be the design images of the respective models have also been shared.

Speaking more, a clearer render image of the iPhone SE 4 device (which is said to be called iPhone 16E) has also been shared, and it aligns with the dummy units image that was recently revealed. It is featured in the expected White color choice with a flat rear panel having a single main camera, microphone hole, and LED flashlight placed towards the top-left corner. The Apple logo is also present at the center of the rear panel.

What should be noted is that, the render image suggests that the iPhone SE 4 is also likely going to have a small Dynamic Island, and not the rumored notch design, bringing a unified iPhone design. The display is also revealed to have symmetrical bezels on all four sides. Additionally, the power button can be spotted at the right side panel, whereas the left side panel appears to have an action button and the volume rocker.

About the launch, it could either take place in the month of March or April of 2025, and with more future updates, we will be able to get a better clarity on the launch time frame. Also, all the four devices – iPhone SE 4, iPad 11, iPad Air 13 (2025), and iPad Air 11 (2025) are expected to debut around the same time itself.

Stay tuned for more updates.

Nothing has a solid lineup for 2025, and recently, it was revealed that the brand might soon launch the Nothing Phone (3) series. This series is expected to include three smartphones: the Nothing Phone (3), positioned as the flagship, along with the Nothing Phone (3a) and Nothing Phone (3a) Plus.

In a recent teaser, Nothing shared an image of the Pokémon Arcanine on its social media platform, X. While this may seem unrelated, it could hint at upcoming developments. Back in October 2024, a smartphone with the model number A059 was spotted on the IMEI database, with a tipster associating it with Arcanine. At that time, it was speculated to be the Nothing Phone (3). However, when the same model appeared on Geekbench, featuring the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset, doubts arose about whether Nothing would equip its flagship with a less powerful processor than the Nothing Phone (2). Later, the GSMA database confirmed that the A059 model corresponds to the Nothing Phone (3a). The database also revealed a Plus variant (A059P) and a CMF Phone (2) with the model number A0001.

pic.twitter.com/zhcmw0cW3i

— Nothing (@nothing) January 21, 2025

This new teaser is likely for the Nothing Phone (3a) and the Nothing Phone (3a) Plus. Reports suggest that the flagship Nothing Phone (3) might launch with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor in Q1 2025.

Considering the recent teaser, which is believed to be for the Nothing Phone (3a) series, it is likely that the Phone (3a) may launch earlier than the CMF Phone (2). With the teaser out, it aligns with Nothing’s earlier hints via a YouTube video that either the Nothing Phone (3a) or the CMF Phone (2) could launch in April 2025. Now, it appears more probable that the CMF Phone (2) will debut in April.

Here is what we can expect from Nothing Phone (3a)

Regarding specifications, the Nothing Phone (3a) is expected to feature the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 SoC, as previously spotted on Geekbench under a different name. The main camera is anticipated to offer a 26mm focal length, capable of recording 4K videos at 60FPS and 1080P slow-motion videos at up to 480FPS. Additional camera features may include Super Macro, Super EIS, and Super Night modes, though these names could change. The front camera is expected to have a 29mm focal length, supporting 1080P recording at 30FPS, which is a reduction from the Phone (2a)’s 60FPS capability. While high-resolution RAW photography might not be supported, the inclusion of in-sensor zoom technology aims to enhance clarity.

Reports suggest that the Nothing Phone (3a) will feature a telephoto lens, while the Nothing Phone (3a) Plus might include a periscope lens. Previous models in the series were equipped with 50MP dual rear cameras, comprising main and ultra-wide lenses. Given Nothing’s history of offering high-megapixel ultra-wide cameras under Rs 30,000, the Phone (3a) series is likely to follow suit.

A UL Demko listing indicates that the Nothing Phone (3a) will feature a 4,290mAh battery, smaller than the 5,000mAh cell found in the Phone (2a). Additionally, the Phone (3a) series is not expected to include a charging adapter in the box, consistent with previous releases.

The Nothing Phone (3a) series will come pre-installed with Android 15-based Nothing OS 3.0. This software update introduces a revamped notification panel, new lockscreen clock styles, system widgets, a redesigned Gallery app, updated typography, and other enhancements. While display specifications remain unconfirmed, the Phone (3a) series might retain a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with 120Hz support, similar to the Phone (2a). The design is expected to follow the boxy, flat-sided aesthetic seen in previous Nothing phones, along with a refreshed Glyph LED layout on the rear. An under-display optical fingerprint scanner is also anticipated.

The Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Plus are expected to include eSIM support, a first for the brand, alongside options for dual nano-SIM or eSIM+nano-SIM configurations.
