Apple iPhone 14, NASA Asteroid Crash, Adobe Buys Figma, $100 Million Wasted On Meetings
Description
Apple have released the iPhone 14 keeping focus on software updates rather than hardware. Apple have chosen to prioritise creators with high-spec photo and video elements at its polished-up core. We're impressed by the new iPhone's potential life-saving features; crash control and signal sighting from satellites anywhere in the world. Maurice claims wearable tech is really where the opportunity is truly at for Apple. Discussions follow of partnerships past and present for the brand and where and how this shift in brand strategy happened.
This week, NASA purposely crashed into a (non earth threatening) asteroid for the first time. Does this give us hope for the future, or worry?
Adobe have bought Figma for $20 billion. Will they build something better together, or is this a case of a larger player taking their key competitor off the market? With many designers outraged, Adobe stocks have plummeted following the announcement.
Useless work meetings are wasting our time and money. $100 million a year is now lost at large companies, according to a study by a professor at the University of North Carolina asking 632 employees across 20 industries to study their weekly calendars and gauge how much time they actually spent in meetings, what they got out of them and how they responded to invitations. We quickly discover some pet-peeves from Maurice on communication in and out of the workplace and look into deeper stats revealed in this study concerning female reaction to meeting requests.
