India may require a government security app preinstalled on iPhones — what it means Reports indicate that India’s telecommunications ministry is asking smartphone makers to ship devices sold in the country with a government security application preinstalled. The requirement would apply to phones sold locally — including iPhones — and comes on top of existing rules that push for local manufacturing and other compliance measures.

Eufy 4G Camera S330 — hands‑on: 4G + Wi‑Fi connectivity and a solid Cyber Monday price Eufy’s 4G Camera S330 is currently on special offer, and our brief hands‑on time with the device leaves a positive impression.
