Apple lancia la sua carta di credito
Apple si allea a Goldman Sachs per lanciare una carta di credito in unione ai nuovi servizi per iPhone. Il debutto della nuova credit card, sulla quale esistono voci dalla fine dell’anno scorso, è previsto per la primavera. Sarà una inaugurazione, ha rivelato il Wall Street Journal, con qualche cautela: inizialmente la carta verrà offerta e sperimentata da dipendenti Apple, un test che comincerà già nelle prossime settimane.

Intel aims to push beyond phones with 5G infrastructure deals

Its sole major modem customer is Apple Inc, whose iPhones feature Intel modem chips to connect to mobile data networks.
