Apple’s Team Changes Hint At 5G Modem Design


Apple relies on external suppliers such as Qualcomm and Intel for iPhone modems but it has long been reported that the company is interested in designing its own modems. That would enable the company to reduce its reliance on suppliers and save money in the process. Some internal team changes at Apple now suggest that the company is looking to design 5G modems for iPhones.

Reuters reports that Apple has moved its modem chip engineering group into the in-house hardware technology group from its supply chain division. This is being taken as an indication that Apple is now seriously looking to develop its own modems.

Apple’s senior vice president of hardware technologies Johny Srouji has reportedly been tasked with the modem design project since January this year. He joined Apple’s team in 2008 to lead chip design and worked on the custom A series processors that you find in many iOS devices. Could this mean that Apple’s first 5G iPhone could come with an in-house modem?

Earlier rumors have suggested that Apple will opt for a Samsung or MediaTek modem for the first 5G iPhone. So nothing is set in stone just yet and we can expect to hear more about Apple’s modem design plans in the future.

GrubHub Now Delivers Taco Bell Nationwide


Looking for your nightly Taco Bell fix but don’t want to get up off the couch? GrubHub is here to the rescue. Taco Bell is now offering nationwide delivery in partnership with GrubHub. The chain has previously tried its hand at delivery in a partnership with DoorDash as well, however, its GrubHub partnership will operate at a much larger scale.

Taco Bell officially announced nationwide delivery via GrubHub today. It’s offering free delivers for all orders over $12 excluding tax for a limited time. To make the entire experience faster, Taco Bell has integrated its sales system directly into the GrubHub app. This means that pickups are timed to the moment an order is ready so that it can be delivered to the customer hot and fresh.

A US partnership between Yum! Brands and GrubHub was announced last year to speed up online ordering for pickup and delivery. That partnership has now resulted in this delivery service. GrubHub says that it will add extra drivers in areas near a Taco Bell location so that the orders can be delivered to customers faster.

Customers looking to place an order can visit tacobell.com and enter their zip code before they’re redirected to GrubHub. They could also do the same through GrubHub’s website or its mobile app to place an order at the nearest Taco Bell restaurant with delivery available.

CrossHelmet X1 provides 360° field of view

For some of us, there is the thrill of zipping down the highway on a motorbike at speeds that we would normally not dream of doing so in an attempt to obtain an adrenaline rush while skipping rush hour traffic. Owning a high powered motorbike is certainly a joy, but then again there is also the drawback of having one’s vision being blocked or limited due to the helmet that one wears. The CrossHelmet X1 offers something else entirely: a 360° field of view that is made possible courtesy of its integrated rear-camera and augmented reality HUD (Heads Up Display).

The CrossHelmet X1 will certainly offer more than all round visuals, as it also boasts of a unique sound control system, Bluetooth connectivity, voice commands and a touchpad to make it one of the more complex and sophisticated helmets around that is truly a revolutionary product. Merging both safety and a beautiful design, the CrossHelmet X1 intends to reduce the high rates of motorbike accidents through its rear camera that lets you see what is right behind you on the HUD itself, getting rid of traditional blind spots in the process.

In addition, the frontal field of view happens to be 30% wider compared to other traditional helmets, which will certainly help the case of one’s safety to boot. With the HUD, the rider will be able to gain visual access to the entire range of navigation information directly on the display in order for him/her not to lose sight of the road. This helmet also contains special LEDs that are located on the sides of the helmet in order to make one’s presence more visible. With Bluetooth connectivity that works with an app on a smartphone, riders are also able to check out current battery levels at a glance, safety lights, and access maps. The recommended retail price for the CrossHelmet X1 is $1,799.
