Apple has launched three new iPhone models - the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR. The iPhone XS and XS Max are upgrades to the iPhone X launched last year. While the iPhone XS has the same 5.8-inch screen as before, the iPhone XS Max is Apple’s largest iPhone ever at 6.5 inches. The iPhone XS is an upgrade on the iPhone X and differs from its predecessor primarily because it sports a Super Retina display with better resolution, the latest 7nm A12 Bionic processor which is much faster and a better camera setup overall. The iPhone XS Max is a larger version of the iPhone XS with a 6.5-inch display. Though Apple calls it its largest phone ever, it is pretty much the same size as the iPhone 8 Plus.

The iPhone XR is essentially a fusion of the iPhone X in front. This is also the more affordable of all phones. To bring ...

The Women and Child Development (WCD) Ministry has issued an advisory for parents who doubt their children are being tempted by the deadly internet suicide game, the Momo challenge. The Momo challenge is an online suicide game like the 'Blue Whale Game' where participants receive instructions from an anonymous sender over the internet. They are then asked to perform whatever directions they are given, the last one is to take their own life in order to complete the challenge. Earlier this year, the Momo challenge allegedly claimed two lives in West Bengal's Darjeeling district. While one of the victims was an 18-year-old boy, the other was a girl aged 26. If a child becomes withdrawn from near and dear ones, seems to be in a low mood all the time and has visible marks such as deep cuts or wounds on any part of the body, then the child is likely to be hooked to Momo or any other online suicide game. The ministry has warned parents that in order to prevent thei...
