It’s not just a single market or a single country. Sony will be trying to do the same in multiple countries where the PlayStation 5 has been launched. Starting from this week, Sony will be adding more numbers to the re-stocking procedure and will make sure that more consumers are able to get their hands on one.

Playstation 5 has had a serious re-stocking issue ever since its launch due to the high demand and lack of supply from the supply chains for the component of the new console. However, since the supply chain for the component has been improving, so is the restocking of the new console. It is expected that within a couple of months, Sony will be able to restock the PlayStation inventory regularly.

iPhone 13 is making a lot of news in the market much before its launch and now news of iPhone 14 has also started coming in. According to the report, one of the biggest changes that will appear in the iPhone 14 series in 2022 will be the Titanium body. As per the details, Foxconn will be the exclusive manufacturer for Apple who will be making Titanium frames for iPhone 14. For now, Apple is using aluminum and stainless steel frames in the iPhone and the same titanium frames are being used for Apple Watch 6 series and Apple Cards. 

However, when compared, titanium seems to be much stronger and is more resistant to damage, scratches, and bending. It is one of the major reasons why the company would be moving to titanium frames. It will make the iPhones much lighter and resistant to damages and corrosion. There have also been patents from Apple in recent times, which hints towards an oxide coating that will also make titanium resistant to any kind of fingerprints and dust is settled on the phone. 

The patent also outlines the blasting, etching, and chemical process through which a more attractive finish can be given to the device.

All of these details are still not confirmed by Apple in any way, but it is almost certain that the company will be moving to titanium frames in the future.
