As we kick off another week with high expectations, let's take a look at the top tech trends that made headlines this week. Apple's highly anticipated 'Californian streaming event' is set to take place on September 14th, where we can expect to see new products, including the iPhone 13 and Apple Watch 7 series.
On a related note, Apple's car project, also known as the Titan Project, has been making waves in the tech world. Doug Field, who has been leading the project since 2018, will be leaving Apple to join Ford, while Kevin Lynch, the president of Apple's health division, will take over as the new leader of the project.
Facebook and Ray-Ban have also made headlines this week with the launch of their connected glasses, called Ray-Ban Stories. These glasses feature 5-megapixel camera sensors, speakers, and microphones, allowing users to take images, listen to music, and even make calls. The glasses are expected to cost around Ksh 40,000.
Germany has also proposed a law that would force smartphone manufacturers to provide updates for at least seven years, as well as supply spare parts during this period. This move could have significant implications for tech brands.
Finally, Realme has set a new record with its 65W charger, which can charge a smartphone from 0 to 100% in under 25 minutes. This is a significant improvement over previous charging speeds, and we can expect to see more fast-charging technologies in the future.
