Reuters VideosChinese Apple fans wish for 5G
The new iPhone hit stores around the world on Friday (September 20), but some fans in China worry Apple may soon lose ground in the country. The iPhone 11 has a bevy of new functions. The three-lens camera has been a highlight since the model was unveiled. However it isn't ready for 5G. That's the next generation of high-speed mobile data networks. This is a problem in China where one of Apple's biggest Chinese competitors - Huawei - rolled out its first 5G phone two months ago. One eager iPhone fan admitted Apple's local prospects may dim. (SOUNDBITE) (Mandarin) 33 YEAR-OLD CIVIL SERVANT AND CUSTOMER, LIU LIU, SAYING: "If they don't research 5G then they're going to lag way behind. They don't have it this year because you can't just make a 5G function in a day or two, and they didn't expect China's 5G technology to grow so fast. " Apple lowered the prices of this round of iPhones- likely in order to lure in Chinese buyers. Analysts say company has already lost marketshare to Huawei over a surge in support from patriotic Chinese after the brand was caught up in the U.S.-China trade war.

No crowds as Apple's iPhone 11 hits stores in China
BEIJING/SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Apple's latest iPhone 11 range hit stores in China on Friday, with short queues of die-hard fans contrasting with the hundreds who camped out ahead of some previous launches. The sales performance of the U.S. tech giant's latest line-up is being closely watched in the world's largest smartphone market, where Apple has been losing ground to competitors with cheaper and feature-packed handsets in recent years. The queues at the Shanghai and Beijing stores, which combined added up to few dozen customers, were in sharp contrast to previous years, when hundreds used to wait for hours outside Apple's shops to be the first to grab its latest offerings.

Google to Invest $3.3 Billion to Grow European Data Centers
(Bloomberg) -- Google will invest 3 billion euros ($3.3 billion) over the next two years to expand its server farms across Europe.The investments take its total spend on European data centers to 15 billion euros since 2007, Google Chief Executive Officer Sundar Pichai told reporters in Helsinki on Friday following a meeting with Finnish Prime Minister Antti Rinne.It’s also investing 1 billion euros in renewable power in Belgium, Denmark and Sweden. Among the projects are a 600 million-euro expansion of its existing data center in Finland, as well as two wind projects in the Nordic nation.The Alphabet Inc. company on Thursday announced a series of new deals to buy wind and solar power in the largest-ever collective purchase of renewable energy by a single company. The move shows how corporations are increasingly turning to clean energy as costs of wind and solar fall and investors push them to fight climate change.The Mountain View, California-based company said it has matched 100% of its electricity consumption with renewable energy the past two years.Google’s investment in its Hamina server complex on the south coast of Finland will now reach 2 billion euros. It has built other European data centers in Denmark, the Netherlands, Ireland and Belgium to feed demand for faster access to files and media.However, big tech companies don’t always follow through on their internet infrastructure promises. Earlier this year, Apple Inc. shelved plans to build a second data center in Denmark, and canceled a similar project in Ireland.(Updates with background on Google’s data centers)To contact the reporter on this story: Leo Laikola in Helsinki at llaikola@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Kati Pohjanpalo at kpohjanpalo@bloomberg.net, Giles TurnerFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com©2019 Bloomberg L.P.

5G Is for Show-offs, Bernstein Says
(Bloomberg) -- With 5G, the latest, greatest wireless networks promise to revolutionize industries from transportation to medicine. But for mobile-phone users, 5G is a way to show off, said analysts at Sanford C. Bernstein.Handsets compatible with the superfast service are more expensive, but don’t offer practical benefits over the latest 4G models that already download at speeds well above that required to stream high-definition video, wrote analysts Chris Lane and Samuel Chen in a Friday note to clients.“We see no rational case for a consumer to upgrade to 5G,” wrote the analysts. “And yet they are.”South Korean carrier SK Telecom Co. reached one million 5G subscribers last month, 140 days after introducing the world’s first commercial service, representing about 3.5% of its user base. China will have about 170 million 5G smartphones available by next year, according to estimates by China Telecom Corp., which targets 60 million 5G users for its network.Carriers in the U.S., Australia and other markets have also introduced 5G services to limited areas, with plans for expanding coverage nationwide over the next few years.The latest 5G handsets do not “future proof” users because the technology isn’t fully matured and will continue to evolve, while a new 4G handset will still be a leading-edge device in two years, Lane and Chen wrote. Specifically, first-edition 5G phones can’t access millimeter wave bands that will be added in coming years to fulfill the technology’s high-speed, low-latency promise.At the same time, carmakers are looking to 5G’s speed for eventual use in guiding autonomous-driving vehicles, while surgeons are already performing remote procedures using the technology, which transmits data with virtually no lag time. Manufacturers intend to use 5G networks for automation, robotics and machine-learning systems.“Having the latest 5G smartphone, and equally importantly, showing it off might be its single most important benefit,” the analysts wrote. “Especially if you are one of the first. For a single millennial in search of a partner, it might even provide validation of them as a potential good catch.”\--With assistance from Ryan Lovdahl and Gao Yuan.To contact the reporter on this story: Dave McCombs in Tokyo at dmccombs@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Sam Nagarajan at samnagarajan@bloomberg.net, Ryan LovdahlFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com©2019 Bloomberg L.P.

From the mobile phone to the stiletto: 30 years of the Design Museum
Thirty years ago in London, the then prime minister Margaret Thatcher ventured south of the river to a converted banana-ripening warehouse in the city’s docklands where, as if to emphasise its Britishness, fish and chips were being served in the pink sheets of this newspaper. Thatcher was at Shad Thames to open the Design Museum, an ambitious new project spearheaded by Habitat founder Terence Conran and journalist and author Stephen Bayley, which aimed to promote contemporary design in Britain. In her speech, she applauded the museum’s private sponsors, but chided Conran for not having “quite enough British things” on show.
