ββπ± New iPhones Outside the US
There's no doubt about the increase in the price of #Apple's new iPhone every year, but for the first time, an #iPhone can cost a USπΊπΈ customer $1,449. However, compared to other countries in the world, this still is cheap.
When exported to Japanπ―π΅, the price will rise by 2%, but even that's not a lot. The Britishπ¬π§ and Germanπ©πͺ customers, respectively, should pay about 130% and 132% of the price of an iPhone in the US.

ββπ± The Difference: iOS vs Android
Yesterday, #Apple rolled out #iOS 12, the latest version of its mobile operating system.
Unlike #Android users who are often stuck with the version that comes pre-installed with their device, iPhone and iPad users iPhone can count on their devices getting new software for at least a couple of years. That's why they often rush to update to the latest version of OS available.
As the following chart illustrates, 95% of iOS devices currently run some version of iOS 11 (originally released in September 2017) or iOS 10 (September 2016).
Last year's Android version Oreo on the other hand is installed on less than 15% of all active devices, while more than half of all Android devices run on a system released in October 2015 or earlier. As a consequence, iOS app developers find a rather unified playing field while Android developers have to work with a deeply fragmented system.

ββπ Can MoviePass Recover?
Technical troubles and an inconsistent product offering have taken a significant toll on user growth for #MoviePass. First-time downloads of the serviceβs requisite mobile app have plummeted 76 percent over the last three months, declining to an estimated 80,000 in August, down from about 330,000 in June.
The continued decline in the appβs user growth is reflected in the share price of MoviePass owner Helios and Matheson Analytics (HMNY), which was trading at more than $100 at the start of June, but had dropped below $1 by the beginning of August.

ββπ· How the Camera Industry was Hit by Smartphones
Over the past few years, #smartphone cameras have improved significantly. So much so in fact, that many people no longer see the need to carry or buy a dedicated camera. While professionals and photo enthusiasts will always get better results using high-end cameras and lenses, modern #smartphones take pictures that are easily sufficient for the demands of the average consumer.
To the camera and photo equipment industry, the rise of smartphone photography has had devastating effects. According to CIPA, a Japan-based industry group with members such as #Olympus, #Canon and #Nikon, worldwide camera shipments dropped nearly 80 percent between 2010 and 2017.
