As usual, Apple’s unveiling of its next wave of iPhones got a lot of attention. But some carping arose about a few things not included in the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro smartphones box: earphones and a charging adapter.

The iPhone 12 Pro (starting at $999) and iPhone 12 ($799), both available for preorder Friday (to ship out Oct. 23), will not come with wired EarPod headphones or the charging adapter (the little square), which links a device’s Lighting input and a USB power adapter. The same goes for the iPhone 12 Mini and Pro Max models, which go up for preorder Nov. 6, and launch Nov. 13.

The move is designed to help the environment, with Apple claiming it will remove two million metric tons of carbon emissions per year.

Apple said in a press release that the move would result in “reducing carbon emissions and avoiding the mining and use of precious materials, which enables smaller and lighter packaging, and allows for 70 percent more boxes to be shipped on a pallet.”

The new phone will come in a much thinner box as a result, Apple revealed.

The phone will still come with a USB-C to Lightning charging cable, but will no longer have the wall adaptor.

Solar is the “new king” of electricity, the International Energy Agency has said, with the asset class set to deploy more new capacity then any other technology each year for the coming decades.

In its flagship World Energy Outlook report, published today, the IEA reflects on COVID’s impact on the energy economy before glancing forward to forecast the sector’s health and shape out to 2040.

Having already teased that solar would become the pre-eminent source of power in Europe in years to come, today the IEA has said solar PV, driven by continued cost reductions, will become the main driver of renewables growth, setting new records for deployment in each year from 2022 until 2040.

While this growth is more prominent in the IEA’s two more ambitious deployment scenarios, the Sustainable Development Scenario (SDS)

Apple’s new iPhone is finally coming. Are you excited yet?

New iPhones will be revealed today, but do phone shoppers still have the same lovin’ feeling?

Standing on line outside an Apple Store in Tokyo

For years, like clockwork, new iPhones have been released in the fall and consumers snapped them up quickly, before inventory inevitably ran out, and slow responders were forced to wait for weeks.

Enthusiasts camped out in tents to snag bragging rights to be first with the new iPhone. Then Apple got better at inventory management, and convinced customers they didn’t have to wait on line, just order it ahead of time, and it would be awaiting you on release day. So we don’t see the masses outside Apple Stores like we used to.

Big Regulation Coming For Big Tech

October 13, 2020 [email protected]_84 NEW TECHNOLOGY COMING OUT

Breaking up Big Tech is a 19th-century competition solution to a 21st-century competition problem. There is a better way.

A cartoon about regulators sharing a cake. — Helen Holmes (Instagram @TheOfficeMuse).

What should regulators do about the power of the big technology companies? In America, the House Judiciary Committee’s antitrust panel have just completed a 16 month investigation into Amazon, Apple, Google and Facebook, finding that “Big Tech” has “monopoly power” in key business segments and have “abused” their dominance in the marketplace, in a full-throated condemnation of the giants. The panel complains that there is “significant evidence” to show that BigTech’s anticompetitive conduct has hindered innovation, reduced consumer choice and even weakened democracy.

Breaking up big companies seems to me an already outdated industrial-age response in the post-industrial economy. Data is not the new oil.

So, what is to be done? I had the honour of chairing Professor Scott Galloway who is the author of “The Four”,

A major business accelerator has begun in downtown Des Moines — kind of.

Techstars Iowa launched its first 13-week program on Tuesday morning. The accelerator selected 10 entrepreneurs who will tweak their products, meet with mentors and pitch to investors this fall.

When they announced the program last October, Techstars Iowa leaders expected the entrepreneurs to move to Des Moines and work out of a downtown office, connecting them with business leaders in the community. But with COVID-19 cases still high, the first program is mostly online.

Founders, investors and mentors will meet on Zoom, Slack and other digital platforms.

The Des Moines program is part of the broader Techstars community. Founded in Boulder, Colorado, in 2006, Techstars says

When does the World of Warcraft: Shadowlands pre-patch come out?

October 11, 2020 [email protected]_84 NEW TECHNOLOGY COMING OUT

With the latest expansion to the World of Warcraft closing in on its October 28 release date, fans have been eagerly awaiting the patch for the main game’s client that will allow them to fully begin preparations for Shadowlands.

The pre-patch period for the series is implemented to allow subscribers to jump back in, explore some of the changes or features that are implemented to the game. For the pre-patch for Battle for Azeroth, Blizzard introduced the Allied Races feature, where players could start a small quest chain that would allow them to unlock races allied to their faction, such as Dark Iron Dwarves for Alliance players and the Nightborne for Horde.

Changes to game fundamentals for many classes are expected with the Shadowlands update, designed to bring back more of the unique identity that comes with each class. The Public Test Realm has

Although Apple held a September virtual event (here’s everything Apple announced), those expecting iPhones were disappointed — the event focused on the new Apple Watch 6, Apple Watch SE and iPads instead. The announcement date for the iPhone 12, 12 Pro, 12 Max and possible 12 Pro Max (or the iPhone 12 Mini?) remains up in the air. Note that Apple has not confirmed the names of the phones, but we’ll go with those for now. Our best guess, however, as to when Apple will announce the phones is either Oct. 13 or 14.
