Edge's News: Apple's Big September event is HERE......

-

The event is the Big Deal, of course, where Apple will unveil the iPhone 13, Apple Watch Series 7, and AirPods 3, Apple has one further event planned that will focus on new Mac and iPad. 

Apple

Now, the image just above is from the invitation Apple sent out for its “California Streaming” event happening on September 14, 2021. It’s very pretty to look at, for sure. Very bright and contrasty. We get a nice mountain background and some placid water. Oh, and a very luminous Apple logo for good measure.


You’ve seen it more than a few times by now. After Apple sends out an invite, more than a few people out there will start hypothesising what it could mean. While not everyone will go over it with a magnifying glass or a fine-toothed comb, there’s definitely a lot of attention put towards these digital releases.


With several Apple product lines expected to see new additions this year, speculation had mounted regarding how many events Apple will hold in the remainder of 2021. Predictions had been further fuelled by the fact that last year Apple held three separate events over September, October, and November. However, 2020 was blighted by the global health crisis, which saw Apple hold digital-only events for the first time and the iPhone 12 announcement delayed to October.


In 2021, the pandemic hasn't been as big a factor for Apple, and the company is returning to its September timeframe to announce the new ‌iPhone 13‌. Additionally, Apple's November 2020 event was exclusively about the first ever Apple silicon-powered Macs, and while the company is expected to announce redesigned MacBook Pro models this year, these will share the limelight with new iPads at a single combined event instead.


This invite doesn’t appear to show a lot at all. Apple’s augmented reality version does show us the event’s date within the Apple logo, but I’m not sure that counts. But, while this is a very nice invitation to what will probably be a great event. But does it hint at anything?


An always-on display for the iPhone is one of the more oft-requested features to date, something Apple has simply just refused to add to its smartphone lineup so far. Is this the year that the company actually does it? Will the iPhone 13 Pro use this as a differentiating feature? Maybe! 


Apple is working on an updated version of the MacBook Pro that will come in 14 and 16-inch size options. It will have thinner bezels, a larger display, and a redesigned chassis. It will use a new "M1X" chip that's an upgrade to the M1, and will mark the return of MagSafe connectivity over USB-C. Apple is also bringing back the HDMI port and SD card slot. According to Gurman, Apple has also been working on a new version of the Mac mini that will feature an M1X chip.


As for iPads, there is a new version of the low-cost ‌iPad‌ in development, and Apple has major changes in store for the iPad mini 6, which is expected to be updated with an all-display design. Like the iPad Air, it will have no Home button and it could feature a Touch ID power button.

President Bola Tinubu’s tax reform bills have sparked a lively debate in Nigeria. Many experts believe that if implemented effectively, these reforms could significantly benefit the country and its citizens. The proposed reforms aim to lay the foundation for Nigeria’s fiscal policy and are based on recommendations from the Taiwo Oyedele led Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms. Key Provisions of the Tax Reform Bills The tax reform bills introduce several key changes to Nigeria’s tax laws. Among the notable provisions are: đź”´ Tax Exemption for Low-Income Earners : The proposed Nigeria Tax Bill offers tax relief to average Nigerian salary earners by exempting individuals earning below N800,000 per year from paying taxes. đź”´ Reduced Tax Rates for Small Businesses : The bill also proposes to exempt small businesses with annual incomes below N25 million from paying profit taxes.

Could President Trump issue an executive order to abolish birthright citizenship?

-
Image
President Donald Trump’s recent claims that he has the authority to end birthright citizenship through an executive order have sparked a heated debate. However, most constitutional scholars argue that such an action would be unconstitutional and likely to face legal challenges. *The 14th Amendment* The 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1868, explicitly states that “all persons born or naturalised in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside” ¹. This amendment was initially intended to grant citizenship to recently freed slaves, but it has also been interpreted to confer birthright citizenship on anyone born on American soil. *Supreme Court Precedents* The Supreme Court has consistently upheld the birthright citizenship provision of the 14th Amendment in numerous cases. In United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898), the court ruled that a child born in the United States to Chin...

President Tinubu’s NELFUND: Giving Every Student a Chance

President Tinubu’s NELFUND: Giving Every Student a Chance “How a son of nobody and who knows nobody can access the loan freely.” Education is the foundation of progress, yet for many Nigerian students, financial barriers have been a roadblock to achieving their dreams. Recognising this, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu launched the Nigeria Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) — a visionary initiative designed to ensure that no student is left behind because of financial constraints . The heart of NELFUND is simple: it levels the playing field. Whether you come from a well-connected family or from humble beginnings, the fund is built to make sure that every Nigerian student has access to education loans without discrimination, delays, or unnecessary bureaucracy. This is why the slogan resonates so strongly: “How a son of nobody and who knows nobody can access the loan freely.” It speaks directly to millions of young Nigerians who have talent, ambition, and drive—but lack the financial su...

President Tinubu’s Bold Economic Reforms: Two Years of Progress and Renewed Hope

-
Image
When President Bola Ahmed Tinubu assumed office, he inherited an economy weighed down by heavy subsidies, low oil production, dwindling reserves, and widespread investor distrust. Many believed the challenges were insurmountable. Yet, just two years into his administration, the economic indicators tell a powerful story of resilience, tough choices, and steady progress. The reforms have not been without pain, but they reflect a deliberate strategy: dismantling old structures that held Nigeria back and laying a foundation for lasting prosperity. From Deficit to Surplus: Reversing Nigeria’s Trade Balance In Q1 2023, Nigeria recorded a ₦20 billion trade deficit . Two years later, the country now boasts a ₦5.7 trillion surplus . This dramatic turnaround reflects improved oil exports, reduced importation of refined products, and stronger non-oil contributions. This surplus is more than a statistic — it shows Nigeria is regaining control of its economy and reducing reliance on foreign de...
