TVS’s new helmet communicator, an all-new flip phone by Oppo, and a yellow iPhone 14 were only some of the highlights from the tech world this month.
Yellow iPhone 14
Apple is ready to introduce a bold new color for its iPhone range, after the product in a muted green last year and a purple variant year before that. The Cupertino-based company has introduced a bright yellow shade for the iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Plus. Unlike the previous generations, the paint scheme will not be extended onto the Pro line-up. This will be in addition to five existing colors — midnight, starlight, product red, blue, and purple.
