Laptop prices in India are about to jump up to 35%.

Not because of taxes. Not because of new features. Because AI is eating all the RAM.

Data centers run by Google, Microsoft and Nvidia are buying memory in bulk years in advance. So manufacturers are left with whatever's remaining.

RAM costs alone jumped 50-55% in just one quarter.

And the scary part? Your laptop won't even look more expensive. It'll just quietly ship with 8GB instead of 16GB. Same price. Less specs. Pure shrinkflation.

Dell already hiked prices. Lenovo too. HP says second half of 2026 is going to hurt.

The mid-range laptop of today will cost what a premium laptop cost two years ago.

AI got the RAM. You got the bill.

YouTube just became the world's biggest media company.

Bigger than Disney. Bigger than Netflix. Bigger than any TV network.

In 2025, YouTube made $62 billion. Disney's entire TV and streaming business made $60.9 billion. So YouTube beat Disney at its own game.

And YouTube TV now has 10 million paying subscribers. It's coming for cable companies next.

Creators have been paid over $100 billion total. That's not a typo.

A website that started as a place to upload random videos is now worth $500 billion plus.

Disney spent 100 years building its empire. YouTube did this in 20.

iQOO Neo series is not coming to India in 2026.

No Neo 11. No new Neo anything this year confirms Gadgets360.

The Neo lineup was the whole reason a lot of people bought iQOO. Flagship performance around ₹20,000 to ₹35,000. That sweet spot where you got a Snapdragon chip without paying full flagship price.

And now iQOO is stepping away from it for a year.

The reason is actually simple. Phone prices are going up everywhere. Components cost more. So instead of launching 4 phones that all look similar, iQOO wants to focus on fewer devices with clearer roles. More flagship push, less mid-range overlap.

Makes sense as a business move. But if you were waiting for a Neo 11 this year, that wait just got a lot longer.

NPCI just enabled biometric payments across all UPI apps.

PhonePe, Google Pay, Paytm, BHIM. All of them.

Fingerprint for Android. Face ID for iPhone users.

No PIN. No typing. Just look at your phone or tap the sensor and the payment goes through. Up to ₹5000.

This is actually a big deal. UPI was already the fastest way to pay. Now it is even faster.

Most people still don't know this is live right now.
