Short Daily Gadget & Tech News - 20201201
Apple
In Italy, tech giant Apple is fined 10 million euros for distributing misleading advertising. Reuters has been able to see an explanation of this. For example, some advertisements stated that the iPhone is water resistant. But it was not mentioned that this only applies in certain situations. The devices are resistant to rain and water jets, but not to be kept under water for a long time. And water damage is not covered by the warranty. In addition, Apple refused to repair devices that were defective due to moisture problems. The company has also not responded to the fine.
Japan
Gundam Factory is an amusement park in Japan (Yokohama). Now they have officially unveiled a giant robot there. The press was able to view it on Monday. The robot is 18 meters tall. With this stunt, the local government hopes to revive tourism. The robot closely resembles a figure from the popular cartoon series "Mobille Suit Gundam" from the 1970s. With its mechanical skeleton it can move the arms and legs.
The social network Reddit has revealed its number of daily visitors for the first time. On Tuesday they told The Wall Street Journal that it is about 52 million since the beginning of October. This means that the company has grown by 44 percent compared to the same period in 2019. In the past, Reddit was not keen to announce the number of visitors.
