• Apple on September launched the iPhone 11 Pro.
• The iPhone 11 Pro comes in India at a starting price of Rs 99,900.
• Apple iPhone 11 Pro will go on sale in India on September 27.

Apple’s new iPhone series is here. Apple unveiled three new iPhones – the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and the iPhone 11 Pro Max – at a special event at the Steve Jobs Theatre at Apple Park in Cupertino, California earlier this week. The iPhone 11 is this year’s budget iPhone and the obvious successor to the iPhone XR, check out the differences between the two devices here. The iPhone 11 Pro and the iPhone 11 Pro Max are the successors to last year’s flagship iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max.

Why Pro? Because Apple says that it is for the “Pro” users who “want the most sophisticated technology that pushes the limits”. “This is the first phone that we’ve called “Pro”. And for us that means that it’s a device that pros can count on to get their work done,” Apple’s senior vice president of worldwide marketing, Phil Schiller said while announcing the iPhone 11 Pro series.

Apple has made a number of major changes to its Pro lineup over its last year’s flagship devices. A more powerful chip, a bigger battery, an even better camera setup and a different colour palette are some of the things that the iPhone 11 Pro has over the iPhone XS. If you are wondering why I left out the iPhone 11 Pro Max out of this conversation then let me clarify, the iPhone XS Max has disappeared from the Apple website. Of course, you can still find it in some remote corner of the website but the company is no longer showing it off alongside the iPhone XR and the iPhone XS.

Sandeep dons the air-conditioned headgear

BENGALURU: The mandatory helmet rule sends tempers soaring as most riders argue it can be suffocating on a sunny day. So a Bengaluru-based mechanical engineer has designed an air-conditioned headgear that keeps the head cool.

Sandeep Dahiya, director with a multinational company, is passionate about designing user-friendly products. His efforts to invent an air-conditioned helmet took shape at his RT Nagar residence’s garage-turned-workshop,

Sandeep designed eight different models in four and a half years before coming up with what he called the ‘perfect product’ — Vatanukul works on DC power (12 volts) supplied by the bike battery and no other external energy is required for the cooling effect.

“The sight of two-wheeler riders taking off their helmets and putting them on the fuel tank of their vehicles while waiting at traffic signals is what drove me to design Vatanukul. I am a rider myself. When the helmet’s visor is closed, there is no air and it becomes suffocating, though it may be life-saving. So, I decided to come up with a user-friendly helmet,” he explained.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
