    Apple Set to Unveil 5G iPhones and ARM-based Macs at October 13 Product Launch

    Apple Set to Unveil 5G iPhones and ARM-based Macs at October 13 Product Launch

    Apple has announced that the launch of what is likely its widest array of products for the year will take place on October 13. The event is tagged ‘Hi, Speed‘ and will start by 10 AM Pacific/1 PM Eastern.

    The highlight of the virtual event will be the newer models of the iPhone 12. Going by the tagline of the event, Apple will most likely fit the phones with 5G wireless capability which will mean faster internet speeds on the phones.

    The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro will likely come in a mini 5.4” size as well as the 6.1″ size. Reports say that the iPhone 12 Pro will have a 6.7″ display, which will be the largest screen size for an Apple phone till date. The new phones will also have squared-off edges instead of the rounded edges that iPhones are known with.

    Apple is Set to Unveil 5G iPhones and ARM-based Macs at Next Product Launch

    While we expect that all the models will come with 5G connectivity, it is likely that not all will get the available fastest versions of 5G. 2 versions each of the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro models are expected at the event. The higher-end phones will be made of stainless steel while the less-expensive devices will come in aluminium.

    Similar to what Apple did with its recently-released iPad Pro, there will be an improvement in camera technology with the use of LiDAR scanners and depth sensors. The enhancements will help the iPhones deliver a better augmented reality experience.

    In all, the new devices will feature a variety of sizes, upgraded cameras, faster processors and 5G wireless capability.

    This is the second product launch Apple is organizing this year and is different from its previous yearly product launches. Because of the COVID-19 restrictions, the product launches are all virtual and are split into different events.

    The new products are not expected to be widely available until weeks after the event because of production delays due to the COVID-19 imposed restrictions.

    The first product launch was in September and featured the new iPad Air, refreshed entry-level iPad and updated Apple Watches.

    The tech giant already announced its plans to stop using Intel’s processors and switch to building its desktops and laptops with in-house chipsets from this year. With a few months left in the year, the first ARM-based Mac laptop may also be exhibited at the product launch in a few days.

    For many people, managing money and knowing the ri For many people, managing money and knowing the right opportunities to invest in is still a challenge. A survey of over 2,000 youths in Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Cote D’Ivoire by Geopoll revealed that more young Nigerians only save after spending than their counterparts in other countries.

More youths in Tanzania and Uganda set aside a fixed amount to save than in Nigeria and Ivory Coast, who are more likely to save what remains after spending

The popularity of apps like @Piggybankng and @Cowrywise has made more people curious about saving, investing and creating a financial strategy to grow their money. However, there is need for more apps that take a more deliberate and friendly approach towards gaining financial intelligence and map out a sustainable path to monetary stability.

This is where Fundall comes in. @get_Fundall is a fintech service whose app is available for download on android and iOS.

    Things are gradually returning to normal as the nu Things are gradually returning to normal as the number of covid-19 cases continues to fall. Although it may take a while before we hug people or shake hands without second thoughts, things are getting better.

Only 523 new cases were recorded between April 6 and 13. This is a slight increase compared to the 497 people that tested positive over the previous week. Two weeks earlier, Technext reported that 584 people tested positive.

The numbers show a sustained decrease in the spread of infections across the country. Indeed the Lagos state government is now confident enough to allow event centres and relaxation centres to increase their crowd capacity. Along with that, here are other developments during the week.

    Today, @Google unveils a Doodle to posthumously ma Today, @Google unveils a Doodle to posthumously mark the 74th birthday of Nigerian music legend and highlife maestro Oliver de Coque, one of Africa’s most prolific recording artists of all time.

The Doodle, created by Lagos-based graphic artist and illustrator @OhabTBJ, pays tribute to the guitarist who died in June 2008 at the age of 61, following a heart attack. The creative inspiration was drawn from De Coque’s love for the guitar, his energetic performance style, his unique music brand, and his love of tradition and culture.

    The use of Point of Sale (PoS) machines in Nigeria The use of Point of Sale (PoS) machines in Nigeria is growing but a majority of this growth is concentrated in the country’s economic capital, Lagos. According to NIBSS Instant Payment stats, the state recorded the largest number of PoS transactions in the country.

The report shows that Lagos accounted for about 70% of the total volume of PoS transactions in 2020. This represents a 100% growth in the volume of PoS transactions in the state as the volume of PoS transactions rose from 226 million in 2019 to over 453 million at the end of 2020.
