OnePlus Watch could actually be a thing
But, will it run WearOS?
OnePlus is a fairly young brand that has managed to stand side-by-side legacy behemoths like Samsung. With its premium phone offering, the brand has grabbed a huge chunk of the market in developing regions of Asia.
Now, there are rumors that suggest OnePlus Watch could actually be a thing and could launch as soon as 2020. We first heard about a OnePlus wearable way back in 2016, but there was complete silence after that. Reports now claim that a OnePlus Watch is again on its way and it’s almost ready for primetime.
Online forums and social media chatter have been discussing the design renders and a launch date. OnePlus officially shared the below sketch a couple of years back, but we aren’t sure if it’ll actually materialize soon.
OnePlus as a brand has expanded massively and has already launched four new phones this year. Adding to this, the brand has forayed in the television segment and is also slowly ramping up its audio products like the Bullets Wireless.
As a rising technology company, it’s essential for them to expand to new segments. Wearables are the next big thing and Apple has been leading the space for a long time. Xiaomi has been shipping insane volumes in the smart fitness band category, along with Fitbit. However, Google’s WearOS is yet to take-off and multiple OEMs like Moto, Fossil, and LG have failed to popularise it.
OnePlus considerably changed Android with OxygenOS, in a good way obviously. Can the brand revive WearOS by adding a layer of custom functionality? Or will it opt for a brand new operating system?

The iPhone 18 might sell out for an unexpected reason
The ongoing shortage might play a part in the phone selling out earlier than expected.
An iPhone selling out is not news. Because of how popular the phones are, it’s within the realm of probability that Apple runs out of stock at some point. According to a new report, this year won’t be any different… but it’s for an entirely different reason.
First reported by analyst Tim Culpan, Apple is reportedly struggling to meet its demand for semiconductors for the iPhone 18 and the foldable iPhone. The ongoing memory shortage is cutting off Apple’s ability to deliver the required supply of smartphones in a timely fashion. The report even claims that TSMC, which helps produce the iPhone, is sitting on a shipment of processors, worth US$ 1 billion, that don’t have memory chips.
Now, Apple is still confident that it can weather the launch. However, if the shortage persists, the iPhone 18 generation will likely sell out much more quickly than expected.
It’s an interesting time for Apple to experience such a shortage. It’s been heavily rumored that the company will launch its very first foldable phone next month, creating a new market for the brand. Apple definitely wants this attempt to succeed after the tepid response to its last new product, the Vision Pro.
