New iPhones, Europe against Zuckerberg and China outruns everyone again
Apple introduced iPhone 11 and revealed new services
September 10, Apple held the traditional September presentation of new products. The company introduced a line of three devices: one standard and two “professional” ones — iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max. New iPhones can shoot 4K video at 60 frames per second. iPhone 11 is equipped with new A13 Bionic processor. This is the fastest smartphone processor. New IPhone will have two 12 megapixels cameras, including ultra-wide. They will go on sale in September. iPhone Pro is positioned as a semi-professional set for shooting photos and movies.
In addition, Apple showed the new Watch Series 5 watch and told about the launch of the TV + video streaming service, which will be launched on November 1 in hundreds of countries around the world..
Now iPhone accounts for less than half of the company’s revenue. Apple is compensating for the lack of revenue by selling services such as video-streaming, iCloud, news aggregator and others. Pricing policy — the cheaper the better. So, if a monthly subscription for US residents on Netflix costs $ 12.99, then a subscription to Apple TV + will cost $ 4.99 per month.
France calls for a ban on Facebook’s cryptocurrency in Europe
The head of the French Ministry of Finance, Bruno Le Mer, said that Libra carries financial risks and threatens the monetary sovereignty of European states. Speaking at a meeting of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in Paris, Le Mayor said:
“This potential privatization of money contains risks of dominance abuse, risks to sovereignty, and risks to consumers and companies.”
“Libra also carries systemic risk because it has the potential user base of two billion users. Any violation in the management of currency reserves can lead to significant financial disruptions,” the minister said.
According to him, Libra should be banned in the EU.
China announced huge plans for the deployment of 5G networks
By the beginning of 2020, China plans to deploy 150 thousand base stations for 5G communications. The start of mass deployment of 5G networks is planned for the second half of 2019.
The Ministry of Industry and Informatization of China issued licenses for the deployment of 5G networks to the state mobile operators China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom, as well as cable giant China Broadcasting Network Corp.
In the USA there will be only 10 thousand of such stations by this time, in the UK — about 2.5 thousand, in Australia — about a thousand.
Study: South Korea ranks first in mobile speed
According to Ookla’s Speedtest Global Index report, the global average mobile data download speed increased by 21.4% to 27.69 Mbps from July 2018 to July 2019, and the fixed broadband download speed jumped by 37.4 % to 63.85 Mbps.
In 2019, South Korea was in first place in terms of mobile speed, although last year it was not even in the top 10. South Korea managed to increase the mobile downloading speed by 165.9% mainly due to the deployment of 5G networks. Australia is on second place, Qatar is on the third.
Singapore ranked first among countries for the downloading speed over broadband. South Korea in this ranking was able to stay on the lead taking second place.
It is curious that the United States fell to 38th line in the ranking of countries in terms of mobile downloading speed.
