iPhone in Nepal

iPhones in Nepal are popular for their premium features but tend to be pricier due to import taxes. They are available through authorized sellers and in the grey market.

iPhones in Nepal can be more expensive than in some other places because of taxes and other reasons. If you buy from official stores, you'll pay the regular price. But in the grey market, prices can change a lot depending on how many people want to buy iPhones at that time.

The hype for the new Apple smartphone is growing continuously as we are closer and closer to its reveal. A survey conducted by SellCell concluded that 44% of the current iPhone users are interested to upgrade to one of the iPhone 13 models when it becomes available.

Now let's dive into details about iPhone 13

iPhone 13: Release Date, Price, Color, Design, Display, Cameras, Battery, Specs.

1. iPhone 13: Release Date

Apple had delayed the launch of the iPhone 12 due to the coronavirus pandemic, pushing its launch to October. However, this will not be the case in the case of the iPhone 13 according to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. iPhone 13 will be released as scheduled i.e September 2021. A rumour from DigiTimes claims that Apple is planning to hold multiple events in September.

Apple while announcing earnings for its June quarter remained that iPhone 13 launch is on track. Apple called out some supply constraints issues however it is unlikely to affect the launch date for its users.

If we analyse Apple's pattern for previous launches, it is expected to hit shelves on the fourth Friday of September 2021 (September 24).

As stated earlier that 44% of the iPhone owners want to buy iPhone 13 so the wait time for iPhone 13 could be lengthy at launch. Foxconn, which is Apple's largest manufacturing partner is also repeatedly warning the market about supply chain disruptions that could possibly lead to iPhone 13 shortages.

2. iPhone 13: Price

Apple tends to keep its pricing for each new successor quite close to the one that preceded it. So we can expect the price closer to iPhone 12-$699, $999 and $1,099.

According to TendForce, the iPhone 13 pricing would be relatively on par with the current iPhone 12 models and Pro models won't have 1TB storage options.

The size is expected to come as same as iPhone 12: 6.7 inch iPhone 13 Pro Max, 6.1 iPhone 13 Pro, 6.1 iPhone 13 and 5.4 inch iPhone 13.

Apple is still planning to launch a mini version of the iPhone 13 even though iPhone 12 Mini hasn't sold well.

3. iPhone 13: Name

Apple went from the iPhone 11 to the iPhone 12 last year. So, early rumours have used iPhone 13 as the name for the upcoming model. Also, some handful of rumours have referred to this model as the iPhone 12s.

However, we can't be sure about the model's name until its release. Most probably Apple will stick with the iPhone 13 name after all.

The "s" model of the iPhone generally implies that the phone will have a lot of common features with its previous version. So, the name itself will say a lot about how different this year's phone truly is.

But the interesting fact is that about 18.3% of Apple users said that they won't buy the iPhone if the name will be iPhone 13 due to the number 13 being unlucky.

4. iPhone 13: Colors

The latest rumours point to four colours options which include black, silver, rose gold and sunset gold.

We've also heard that a regular iPhone 13 could come in pink, but this is just based on a render. The rumours from Max Weinbach suggests two colours: matte black and new bronze or orange colour.

5. iPhone 13: Design

Apple Insider has released a set of iPhone 13 dummy units which shows some of the biggest possible design changes. This includes a new diagonal camera arrangement for the regular iPhone 13 and a larger Pro model and moving of the speaker towards the top of the device.

We can also notice the SIM card tray and power button shifted a little down.

However, leaks from Sonny Dickson shows a bit different design which does not include diagonal camera arrangement.

A variety of leaks have shown iPhone 13 with a smaller display notch after several generations of using the same bulky notch.

Another report from Digitimes says that the die size of VCSEL chips used in Face ID scanner will shrink by 40 to 50% and a smaller chip means a smaller notch.

The earpiece speaker is expected to move to the top bezel instead of being housed inside a notch.

6. iPhone 13: Display

A company might make other changes to the display keeping the display size the same as iPhone 12. Apple will adopt a 120Hz refresh rate for 6.1-inch iPhone 13 Pro and 6.7-inch iPhone 13 Pro Max according to a report from ET News. This will definitely allow improved gameplay and smoother scrolling.

Latest rumours have added further fuel stating iPhone 13 will have an LTPO panel and the maker of this display will be Samsung Display. Furthermore the news that Samsung is supplying circuit boards to Apple to connect the display to the phone's motherboard provides more proof that the LTPO screen is in the works.

If LTPO will be adopted then the display doesn't need extra components under it and allows an adaptive refresh rate. This will definitely allow iPhone 13 to have a super smooth refresh rate also keeping the neat frame of the iPhone 12.

Another benefit of the LTPO screen is its power consumption rate reducing power consumption by 15% to 20%.

Some other leaks state that iPhone 13 will use always-on displays which is something LTPO tech could certainly facilitate.

7. iPhone 13: Touch ID

Plenty of rumours have stated that iPhone 13 is getting an under-display take on Touch ID. However, most of the reports cast a lot of doubt on this rumour that Apple won't bring under-display Touch ID until next year's iPhone 14.

Also, a new report from Mark Gurman at Bloomberg states that iPhone 13 will not have an in-display Touch ID to the new iPhone 13.

8. iPhone 13: Cameras

Plenty of leaks and rumours are around about the iPhone 13 camera. Some reports state that iPhone 13  Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max will offer a new 6-element ultrawide lens. Talking about the current iPhone 12 Pro, it models a 5-element ultrawide angle lens. As a rule, the more elements in the lens, the better the image quality.

According to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, iPhone 13 Pro series will be offering auto-focus in the ultrawide lens for the first time. However, these upgrades won't be available to the rest of the lineup until the iPhone 14.

A report from Digitimes says that Apple will increase its order of voice coil motors by 40% which helps the lens to focus.

A dummy unit shown by Unbox Therapy features a  phone will noticeably larger lenses which will improve photos in low light settings.

Analyst Ross Young has made a prediction that the iPhone 13 will come with larger sensors and a larger sensor means larger pixels for increased light intake.

According to Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo iPhone 13, Pro and 13 Pro Max will both include larger apertures on their ultra-wide cameras. Both models will come with an f/1.8 aperture up from the f/2.4 on the iPhone 12.

Sensor-shift stabilization which is available in the current iPhone 12 models will also be available to all the models on iPhone 13.

Other rumours also suggest that iPhone 13 will have camera upgrades that will allow better shots of the night sky as well as deliver portrait mode videos. Dedicated astrophotography could be facilitated due to the upgrade in ultra-wide cameras on all iPhone 13 models.

Also, portrait mode could offer a blurred background on video footage when enabled.

9. iPhone 13: Specs

We can expect a chip upgrade for iPhone 13 over its predecessor. iPhone 13 may come up with A15 Bionic a successor to the very powerful A14 Bionic in the iPhone 12 boosting overall performance and efficiency.

Apple has reportedly ordered more than 100 million A15 chips which signal an even larger demand for the new iPhone 13 than iPhone 12.

We can expect storage from the range 64GB to 512GB through a Wedbush report that has stated that iPhone 13 may provide storage up to 1TB.

We can also expect a big boost in terms of wireless connectivity. The 5nm x60 modem is able to integrate directly into the phone's chipset allowing smoother performance and boosting battery usage. Also, we can expect better 5G performance because this modem is capable of combining mmWave and sub-6GHz 5G networks simultaneously.

Last but not the least, it will come with Wi-Fi 6E, a variant of Wi-Fi that will support even faster wireless speeds.

10. iPhone 13: Battery

We did not get wow performance on iPhone 12 models battery. iPhone 12 Pro Max however gave a good impression with its large battery. According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, iPhone 13 will use soft battery technology which will offer increased battery capacity without growing the design footprint.

iPhone 13 Pro Max will be gaining an 18% increase in battery capacity from 3,687 to 4,352mAh.

One rumour suggests that iPhone 13 will be offering 25W fast charging support along with reverse wireless charging.

This is a unique way of file sharing but has gotten a negative reputation in the media. Numerous torrent sites have come and gone over the years and most of them are shut down permanently. However, there are still some sites that have managed to survive.

Finding torrent sites on Google is the most threatening task. Google will generally hide torrent websites and display fake ones that contain irritating ads and dodgy links.

Now, let's have a look at the 10 most popular and survived torrent sites however using VPN while browsing these sites is strictly recommended.

Most popular and survived torrent sites:

1.  The Pirate Bay

The Pirate Bay is arguably the most popular torrenting site on the whole planet. This website has made its existence since 2003 making it the oldest torrent site on the internet. It has gone through several seizures and domain shutdowns only to re-emerge each time under a new domain name or web address.

Pirate Bay was raided by police in December 2014. Their several pieces of equipment and computers were seized which resulted in Pirate Bay as well as several other file sharing sites going offline. The good news is that it survived and was raised again in 2015 with the phoenix logo symbolizing it had risen again.

Currently, millions of files are available on The Pirate Bay's database. They use a technology called "Skull" to identify files uploaded by trusted users. Each colour indicates the different status or membership class:

I.  Green Skull

Green Skull is provided to users or VIPs who are sharing high-quality and safe torrent files for a long time and with consistency.

II.  Pink Skull

Pink Skull is provided to verified and trusted uploaders. The moderators and administrators trust those uploaders to share and upload working and safe files on their websites.

III. Blue Skull

It is provided to the most front-liners who helped keep sites from fake files, malware, spam and child pornography. These helpers have been removed from the websites as of February 2015.

2.  Limetorrents

Limetorrents acts as a torrent search engine rather and directory than host. It was founded in 2009 and does not host any files. It simply helps users to find the links to torrent sites that are hosted on other websites. Limetorrents, unlike other torrents sites, is family-friendly and does not allows users to search or submit for any pornographic material or pornographic content.

It can be a good alternative if your favourite torrent sites are down. It offers a simple and easy interface however poor torrent health remains to be an issue for Limetorrents.

3.  Torrentz2

Torrentz2 can be viewed as an unofficial clone of the original Torrentz site which was shut down in August 2016. Torrentz2 was capable of indexing a total of 60 million torrent files during its initial launch.

In addition, it also complied with different trackers for each torrent that was not initially present in the original .torrent file. This was done to allow other trackers to pick up the load if the default tracker went down.

The original Torrentz2 site was the second most popular torrent site on the internet in 2012. The latest unofficial Torrentz2 has copied everything including its minimalistic interface from its original site.

4. RARBG

It was founded in 2008 and currently operates under numerous domains. It mainly aims at uploading high-quality video releases but also has other files like games and music.

RARBG was forced to shut down for one week in December 2008 due to immense pressure from BREIN ( the anti-piracy organization of the Netherlands).

The sad news is that access to this popular torrenting site has been blocked in several countries like England, UAE, Denmark, Australia, Ireland and Finland. It used to generate more than 300,000 visitors at its peak in 2015. You can still download torrent files from it but registration to this website is currently closed.

5. 1337X

1337X was founded in 2007 and provides users with torrent files and magnet links that can be used for peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing. It was ranked as the third most popular torrent site on the internet as of 2018  after the shutdown of Kickass Torrents.

Google has banned 1337X and it will not appear in SERPs. It was banned after a complaint filed by Feelgood Entertainment in 2015. In October 2015 it moved from its old '.pl' domain to the '.to' domain and this was done to avoid blocks as the site can still be accessed by manually inputting its address on the address bar.

6. Kickass Torrents

Kickass Torrents was created by some of KAT's former staff members and the current version is the revival of the original version. Features and overall design is almost similar to its predecessor.

It was founded in 2008 and became the internet's most-visited torrent site according to Alexa rankings in 2014.

7. Torlock

You will love Torlock if you are addicted to e-books and high-quality anime. This website apart from e-books and anime offers plenty of music torrents as well. The UI is clean and intuitive and helps users to find the best possible content.

Some content offered by this site is almost impossible to find in other trackers. It is more than 4.8 million files to be specific.

One annoying thing about this site is that you will find a sheer number of ads and pop-ups.

8. Torrents Downloads

Torrents Downloads which was created in 2007 houses more than 16 million torrents. It contains almost everything from games, movies, music and e-books.

It offers a straightforward interface with easy navigational options. Users can filter their searches using advanced search options to find their files faster.

The interesting thing about this site is that it allows users to rate files and leave a comment to help lower down the number of fakes on the websites. It can be viewed as one of the best torrents sites in terms of selection and quality downloads.

9. YTS.AM

YTS.AM can be a good option for you if you are a movie enthusiast. It offers a great layout and numerous movie torrent downloads to choose from. It is reliable and goes on the user's bandwidth.. YTS.AM is the successor to the original YTS and YIFI group.

YTS.AM gained its popularity because of high-quality downloads of the latest Hollywood flicks and TV shows.

The only con of this site is that it offers only movies and nothing else.

10. EZTV

EZTV can be your favourite option if you are looking for the latest episodes of your favourite TV shows. It has established its name for downloading TV shows. It came into existence in 2005 and went to a rough patch in 2015. But it has been recovered and is back under new management.

 You can find everything from TV series, reality shows, NASCAR races and all.

Another way to get into Facebook touch is by entering details such as name, age, email and birthday and get registered on this platform. You can easily get a login to Facebook touch but logging out can be a bit tricky.

The logout button is available in the menu at the bottom of the screen. It can be quite irritating as it remains hidden and new users might have to waste a significant amount of time searching for it. Looking at it from a different angle, this can also be a marketing strategy to keep the users for a long time across this platform.
