Apple iPhone: Surprise 2023 System Could Revolutionize iPhone Releases - Forbes

There’s a new Apple Store system coming soon, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman in his latest Power On newsletter. It is a subtle but groundbreaking change which could be very important.

When a new iPhone is launched, it generally comes with the latest software installed. So, the iPhone 15 series landed with iOS 17 on board.

All very well, but what happens if Apple discovers a bug or needs to make a change? That’s what happened a few weeks ago, when iOS 17.0.1 was released by the time the iPhone went on sale. Of course, those iPhones had been set up with iOS 17 before they were plonked into boxes. So, customers had to update the software before they could start using their new iPhones, sometimes with problematic results.

Why Marriott, Hyatt And Other Hotel Giants Are Going All In On All-Inclusive Resorts - Forbes

Like flare jeans and flip phones, travel fads often boomerang back, but never in exactly the same way as before. All-inclusive resorts are currently enjoying an enormous surge in popularity–minus the mediocre buffets, bottom-shelf piña coladas and cheesy entertainment from decades past.

This new wave of all-inclusives is all about luxury, offering a raft of enticements from gourmet à la carte dining to personal butler service to high-end experiences unique to their locales. Notably, many of these properties are being launched by luxury hospitality brands entering the all-inclusive arena for the first time.

Chalk it up to a post-pandemic shift in the consumer mindset, driven by sky-high travel demand coupled with major decision fatigue. “People are really looking for no surprises when it comes to what’s included,” says Brian King, president of Marriott International's Caribbean and Latin America region. “They want to just go and discover, enjoy and they really want to pay once and be done.” While all-inclusive is not a new segment, he continues, “I think the trends have changed pretty dramatically.”

SUVs emit more climate damaging gas than older cars do, study finds - the Guardian

Exclusive: UK climate campaign group Possible calls for ‘polluter pays’ tax based on vehicle size

The increasing popularity of ultra-heavy SUVs in England means a conventional-engined car bought in 2013 will, on average, have lower carbon emissions than one bought new today, new research has found.

The study by the climate campaign group Possible said there was a strong correlation between income and owning a large SUV, which meant there was a sound argument for “polluter pays” taxes for vehicle emissions based on size.

Climate Capitalist: This Billionaire Heiress Is Betting Big On Renewable Energy - Forbes

Perched on a bright orange couch in her office in London’s Michelin House, the eclectic former headquarters of the tire company, Dominika Kulczyk gesticulates wildly as she discusses a favorite subject. “I’m all about feminine energy,” says the heiress to one of Eastern Europe’s largest fortunes, wearing a red “menstrual dress” in support of her crusade to persuade Poland’s parliament to provide free sanitary pads in schools. By the time she gets to how the patriarchy is exacerbating climate change, she’s leaning so far forward she’s almost falling off her seat.

“Everything I do is something that I believe in. I don’t allow myself to doubt, really, and I’m trying to make it contagious,” says Kulczyk, 45, who moved to London seven years ago, three years after her divorce from the Polish prince Jan Lubomirski-Lanckoroński following 10 years of marriage. In 2020, she bought a $75 million, 25,000-square-foot townhouse near Harrods.

For most of her adult life, what she believed in was documentary films—she has produced more than 70 of them, with titles like Accused of Witchcraft (2017), Begging for Change (2019) and Fighting for Mercy (2023). But don’t mistake her for a self-indulgent dilettante. While over half of the world’s 337 female billionaires inherited their fortune, only 63, including Kulczyk, are actively growing their wealth. Getting involved in business wasn’t even what her late father likely wanted. Jan Kulczyk, who was Poland’s richest person, with a net worth of $4 billion when he died in 2015, had groomed his son Sebastian to take over the family’s investments, which were concentrated in oil and gas, real estate and brewing. Dominika instead busied herself running the charitable foundation she had started the year of her divorce. “I even heard, ‘Hey we’re making money; you’re spending it,’ ” she recalls.
