With the launch of the Apple iPhone 15 days away, new dummies of the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 have surfaced that give us an idea of the potential colours. It is interesting to see that the dummies show the upcoming iPhone 15 line in new pastel colours. The latest iPhone 15 dummies show that the vanilla iPhone 15 and Plus will feature Dynamic Island -- which Apple introduced last year on the Pro models only.

UPI ATM Brings Convenient Cash Withdrawal

Using ATMs has become a nuisance in the recent days.

Furthermore, you need to be careful in entering your ATM code, covering the keypad from any onlooking bystanders. These things could soon be a thing of the past, if the newly introduced UPI ATMs catch on in the country.
