This is following the company receiving a set number of tariff exemptions for the most powerful Mac the company has ever put together. Production of the new Mac Pro will happen in the same facility where the previous iteration of the Mac Pro was manufactured, in Austin, Texas, later this year.
Apple notes that the company is on track to meet its $350 billion commitment to the United States economy by 2023. Indeed, the company breaks down its major monetary injections into a variety of U.S.-based companies in today’s announcement:

Google launches ‘Play Pass’ for $4.99 per month

Google launches ‘Play Pass’ for $4.99 per month
Earlier this month, Apple launched Apple Arcade to the public with iOS 13. But not to be outdone, Google has just introduced its competing effort: Play Pass.

This week, Google announced a new subscription service of its own called Play Pass. This is designed for Android device owners to take advantage of a new subscription option that will give them access to a variety of content on a regular basis, all for just $4.99 per month.
The difference is that Play Pass isn’t just for games, but also includes apps. All told, it will have more than 350 games and apps within its digital library.
The games that are available within the Play Pass service will excise any in-app purchases and advertisements. Customers will also be able to share the Play Pass with a family membership, which can include up to five family members.
Google Play Pass isn’t offering only exclusive options, either, which is one of the bullet points for Apple Arcade.
Google will be paying developers through user engagement, according to a report from The Verge. That will go beyond the number of apps being opened in a week, or screen usage time, but the finer details remain unknown at this time.
Play Pass is initially available for Android customers in the United States. It comes with a 10-day free trial, and after that it will cost $4.99 per month. There is a limited-time promotion, though, which sees customers able to get Play Pass for just $1.99 per month for 12 months:
Play Pass is a new subscription service that gives you access to more than 350 apps and games that are completely unlocked—all free of ads, in-app purchases and upfront payments. Play Pass offers a high-quality, curated collection of titles from Stardew Valley to Risk, and Facetune to AccuWeather, with new apps and games added every month.
Play Pass is coming to Android devices in the U.S. this week, and we’ll be bringing it to additional countries soon. You can get started with a 10-day free trial and subscribe for just $4.99/month. And for a limited time, you can get Play Pass for only $1.99/month for your first twelve months, then $4.99/month (see full terms).
The subscription service will expand to additional countries at a later date.

Huawei announces the Mate 30 series. with Horizon Display and an all-new design

Huawei announces the Mate 30 series. with Horizon Display and an all-new design


At an event in Munich, Germany today, Huawei formally announced the Mate 30 series after months of leaks. Most notably, the handsets have a circular camera module on the back, and that's probably the biggest design change. Huawei called the new design "iconic", something that the Shenzhen firm also said last year when it introduced the square camera design on the Mate 20.








On the front of the device, the Mate 30 Pro comes with a Horizon Display, curving the edges at 88 degrees. That screen is a 6.53-inch Flex OLED display, with a 2400x1176 resolution. The Mate 30 screen is flat, at 6.62 inches and 2340x1080.








Obviously, the bezels are shrunken down. With the Horizon display, it has 0mm side bezels, so none at all. The non-Pro has 2.8mm side bezels. On top, there's a 4.2mm bezel on the Pro and a 4mm bezel on the non-Pro model.


That also means that there are no buttons on the Mate 30 Pro. You'll be able to touch the sides of the screen to press buttons, and you'll even be able to move the camera shutter button around to wherever is most comfortable.


Huawei also says that the Mate 30 Pro has "the most advanced notch". It includes a gesture sensor, a selfie camera, an ambient light and proximity sensor, and a 3D depth camera.


Moving on, charging and battery life has been improved. The battery is bigger and the devices are lighter, coming in at 4,200mAh and 196g on the Mate 30 and 4,500mAh and 198g on the Mate 30 Pro. Naturally, they include support for the 40W SuperCharge technology that was introduced with the P30 Pro.


There's also faster wireless charging, coming in at 27W. Reverse wireless charging is now three times faster, presumably at 7.5W. Huawei is also introducing new car chargers, including a 40W wired charger and a dashboard mount that wirelessly charges your phone at 27W.The company also touted its 5G capabilities and the performance of its new Kirin 990 chipset. It now has 21 antennas, 15 of which are for 5G. And the handset supports eight 5G bands, compared to just three on Samsung's 5G phones. And of course, Huawei had to point out that Apple doesn't support any 5G bands.


And that leads into the camera, which gets some real improvements from the Kirin 990. The triple-lens array is a mix of sensors from the P30 and the P30 Pro. The 40MP main sensor is a 40-megapixel SuperSensing lens, which is Huawei's new RYYB technology. On the Mate 30 Pro, it's the same one as on the P30 Pro, and on the non-Pro, it's the same one as on the P30.


The same can be said for the 16MP ultra-wide; however, the eight-megapixel zoom lens is 3x on both models, which is the same sensor as the non-Pro P30. So, if you want that 5x Periscope lens, the P30 Pro is still your only option. The ISO sensitivity on the phones, from the main sensor, is 409,600 on the Pro and 204,800 on the non-Pro, so you get the same incredible low-light performance.


They support 4K 60fps video recording for the first time, but that's not all. You can shoot videos in portrait mode, 7,680fps slow motion, and it has the first studio light on a smartphone. ISO sensitivity for video is 51,200.


The Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro come in six different colors. Of course, there's Black and Space Silver, but Huawei also added Cosmic Purple and Emerald Green. Emerald Green is a gradient from matte to glossy from bottom to top, so it shouldn't catch fingerprints while you're using it.


And then there's Vegan Leather, which is another way of saying fake leather. Those come in Vegan Leather Orange, and Vegan Leather Forest Green. Huawei didn't provide a specific release date, but the new handsets will be available soon. Obviously, they won't be coming to the United States.


There's also the new Porsche Design Mate 30 RS, which is the fifth-generation Porsche Design model. It's made out of real leather, coming in red and black. It's meant to "embody the feeling of luxury", and Porsche Design says that it's designed to perform.
