From NI to tax cuts – what the chancellor of the exchequer could announce at his first fiscal event
Apple is holding perhaps its biggest event of the year, revealing the iPhone 14, new Watches and more.
The event will take place in September – with the release of those new products coming along soon after.
Apple has now confirmed when exactly the reveal will take place. The release dates will not be revealed until later, but there is plenty of information to make a good guess about when the new iPhones will be released.
You can read everything that is likely to be revealed at the “Far Out” event here.
Apple’s launch event, named Far Out, will take place on 7 September, at 10am local pacific time.
That launch is relatively early, especially when compared with the last couple of years of pandemic-inflected launches, when the phones did not fully arrive until October. It is not clear why Apple has sped up the schedule – but it could be anything from an attempt to get out ahead of any economic bad news to the setup of the calendar.
It will be a livestreamed online event, as usual. But in a first since the beginning of the pandemic, Apple appears to be hosting select media at an in-person event at the Steve Jobs Theater on its campus, too.
The release date is even more reliable than the launch date: it almost certainly comes a week and a half after the phone is first revealed.
Given the 7 September launch, that would put the most likely release date as 16 September. That will probably be the case for the iPhone as well as the new Apple Watches.
In recent years, that launch date hasn’t included all of the phones; manufacturing problems have led some of them not to arrive for weeks. But those problems do not appear to be affecting availability for the iPhone 14, and there is nothing to suggest any of them will be delayed.
This will almost certainly be confirmed during the launch event, as usual.
LONDON (Reuters) -Shell said on Friday it was "unaffected" by the German government's decision to place the PCK Schwedt oil refinery under a trusteeship, effectively taking control away from Russian majority owner Rosneft. It is unclear who will step in to replace Rosneft as operator of the 233,000 barrel per day refinery, which Shell has sought to sell out of. "Shell remains unaffected by this order as a 37.5% shareholder in PCK Schwedt and will continue to comply with its contractual obligations in accordance with its own shares," Shell said in an emailed statement.
The company is ending monthly fees of Veeqo, a shipping software firm it recently bought, for sellers including when they fulfill orders via rival platforms like Shopify Inc, eBay Inc or Etsy Inc. D.A. Davidson analyst Tom Forte said of Veeqo, "The acquisition should improve Amazon's ability to compete against Shopify," which helps merchants set up online stores and sell elsewhere.

Finland will seek compensation of up to 8 billion euros ($7.97 billion) if Germany nationalises gas importer Uniper, a Finnish cabinet minister said on Friday. Uniper, which is majority owned by Finnish utility Fortum, said on Wednesday the German government might take a controlling stake in the company as it sought further aid on top of a package agreed with Berlin in July. "It is absolutely clear that Finland will not allow Germany to nationalise Uniper without compensation," Minister of European Affairs and Ownership Steering, Tytti Tuppurainen, told the Finnish parliament.
The Ethereum 'merge' has been hailed as a success by the blockchain's co-founder Vitalik Buterin. The major upgrade could now make the supply of ether "continuously reduce over time", which could then lead to a spike in the value of the cryptocurrency.

Enhance scalability - scale massively, by making the network ready for further upgrades.3.

Serbia plans to spend 3 billion euros ($2.99 billion) or 4.5% of its annual gross domestic product (GDP) on electricity, gas and fuel oil imports between October and March to meet rising costs of electricity and heating consumption, Energy Minister Zorana Mihajlovic told Reuters on Thursday. The country spent 1.65 billion euros on gas and electricity imports over the same period a year ago.

LISBON (Reuters) -Two European Central Bank policymakers gave diverging views about the size of the ECB's future rate hikes on Thursday, pointing to some disagreement over whether last week's jumbo increase should be repeated. The ECB raised rates by an unprecedented 75 basis points a week ago and President Christine Lagarde hinted at another two or three rises at the coming meetings to fight record-high inflation. But ECB Vice President Luis de Guindos and Portugal's central bank governor Mario Centeno appeared to differ on Thursday about the size of the next moves.
It came as the euro area’s annual inflation rate came in as expected at 9.1% in August, up from 8.9% in July. This is more than three times the rate in August 2021.

BERLIN (Reuters) -The head of Austrian oil and gas group OMV said on Thursday that the EU's planned windfall levy could have a huge impact and criticised basing the proposal on profits of the last three years, which were not normal times. "We will keep an eye on that, as it can already have a massive impact," Alfred Stern told journalists, adding that the specifics of the proposal have not yet been set out so it was difficult to estimate the exact impact. Under EU plans announced on Wednesday, excessive profits from energy companies will be skimmed off and redistributed to ease the burden on consumers.
