Daybreak Apple » MR headset: is Apple also planning a cheaper version? | Google also announces mass layoffs, Apple is silent | Amazon significantly increases minimum order value – Daybreak Apple
Good morning! Apple apparently plans to offer a discounted model after developing a more expensive mixed reality headset. In addition, Google has now announced, like several big tech companies before it, that it intends to lay off massive jobs, while Apple remains silent on the subject. In addition, Amazon has significantly increased its minimum order value for free shipping. So welcome to our overview in the morning.
MR headset: is Apple also planning a cheaper version?
A possible mixed reality headset, which Apple is apparently currently working on, has been discussed for months. The price is also a big issue, because Apple is not known for offering its products cheaply. This could quickly add up to 3,000 euros for an MR headset. It seems clear to the company that such a price does not reach a mass audience, because according to the latest rumors, it already seems to be working on a discounted version of its headset. You will find out when this will go on sale here.
Google is also announcing mass layoffs, Apple is silent
After Microsoft, Twitter and Amazon have already started massive job cuts, Google has now announced that that this step will also be taken. The company plans to lay off around 12,000 employees. This makes Apple the only major tech company that has not yet announced job cuts. You can find possible reasons for this here.
Amazon increases minimum order value significantly
Everything is currently becoming more expensive, including ordering goods online. Shipping giant Amazon is therefore planning to raise the minimum order value for free deliveries if you don’t have a Prime membership. So far, this was 29 euros and is now apparently to be increased by ten euros. You can find out more about this here.
Twitter blocks the use of third-party apps
Until recently, it was possible to access Twitter via a third-party app and bypass the use of the company’s own apps for iOS, macOS and Android. This had the advantage that no advertising was displayed. However, since Twitter is dependent on them, the group has now started to block the use of these apps.
