Today‚ Australia's government announced it would bring Apple Pay‚ Google Pay‚ and other digital payment services into a new regulatory legislation alongside credit cards and other payments‚ Reuters reported. This new legislation is set to be introduced to parliament this week and will put Apple Pay‚ Google Pay‚ and other popular digital wallets into Australian payment laws. The publication says this law will empower the Reserve Bank of Australia to regulate payments so that it applies to new and emerging technology. "We are modernizing Australia's payments system to ensure it meets the needs of our economy now and into the future‚" Treasurer Jim Chalmers said in a statement‚ which Reuters obtained. "We want to make sure the increasing use of digital payments occurs in a way that helps promote greater competition‚ innovation‚ and productivity across our entire economy." The report says transactions from digital wallets account for 35% of all transactions in the June quarter‚ up from 10% in early 2020. in addition‚ two-thirds of Australians between 18 and 29 use mobile payments‚ which‚ before the pandemic‚ was less than 20%. This law will also give a "relevant minister power to subject a system or platform to special oversight in the event it presents a risk of 'national significance.'" Although it's unclear if Apple will need to adjust anything‚ it's interesting to see governments regulating big tech companies. Apple Pay launched in Australia in 2015‚ with American Express as the first institution to allow customers to use it. Since then‚ an enormous list of banks has started supporting this payment method‚ which helps avoid fraud by making purchases more secure and private. In addition‚ Australians can use other services related to Apple Pay‚ such as Express Mode‚ so users don't have to wake or unlock their devices when tapping on. BGR will keep following this new legislation. We'll let you know once we learn more about it.

After two months since Apple started selling the iPhone 15‚ it seems Cupertino still has momentum‚ as DSCC Monthly Flagship Smartphone Trackers shows that panel shipments for the latest iPhone models were 16% higher than the iPhone 14 series and 21% higher than the iPhone 13 during the same period when they were released. “With the current mix of panel shipments for the iPhone 15 series‚ the Pro models account for a higher share versus the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro models during the June – October time period. On a cumulative basis‚ from June through October‚ the iPhone 15 Pro models had a 64% share versus a 54% share for the iPhone 14 series and for the iPhone 13 series‚" says David Naranjo‚ DSCC Senior Research Director. Image source: DSCC The study shows that in October‚ the iPhone 15 Pro models had a 71% share‚ up from 65% in September‚ which makes the blended average sales price 5% higher than the iPhone 14 in June-October 2022.

It's followed by LG Display‚ which started shipping panels for the 15 Pro Max in September with an 18% share. BOE started to ship panels in October for the iPhone 15 and had a 1% share. BOE also supplies panels for the iPhone 12‚ iPhone 13 and iPhone 14. While the iPhone 14 Pro models brought a redesign with Dynamic Island‚ Apple made more significant changes with the iPhone 15 series. The regular models got a better chip‚ improved cameras‚ a new design‚ and USB-C compatibility. In contrast‚ the Pro models received a new finish by ditching stainless steel for titanium‚ the A17 Pro chip‚ a faster USB-C port‚ and an exclusive tetra prism lens for the Pro Max model.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!” RELATED: Courteney Cox Pens Touching Tribute To Late Co-Star Matthew Perry She voices similar sentiments in the video itself‚ saying‚ “Happy Thanksgiving‚ everyone! I hope you’re having a great day‚” She continues‚ “I’m feeling so thankful‚ and also‚ if I get one more [beep] GIF with a turkey on my head‚ dancing like a [beep] fool‚ I’m just going to snap.” She adds‚ “So‚ anyway‚ since I’m the symbol of Thanksgiving‚ here you go. Hope it makes you happy.” Sure enough‚ next the video plays footage from Friends of when Cox’s character Monica danced around with a Thanksgiving turkey donned in sunglasses‚ observed by an audience of Matthew Perry’s Chandler Bing. It’s a look she‚ too‚ wore for a little Thanksgiving jig‚ years later.

Delvalle / ©Warner Brothers / Courtesy: Everett Collection “I am so grateful for every moment I had with you Matty and I miss you every day‚” Cox said alongside footage from the NBC sitcom. “When you work with someone as closely as I did with Matthew‚ there are thousands of moments I wish I could share. For now here’s one of my favorites.” The video showed highlights of their time as colleagues. She also explained that their chemistry together helped make what was supposed to be a one-off fling become one of the most followed romances in the show. Although their chemistry together had to be a two-way street to work‚ Cox puts most of the credit on Perry‚ explaining‚ “before we started rolling‚ he whispered a funny line for me to say. He often did things like that. He was funny and he was kind.” FRIENDS‚ from left‚ Matthew Perry‚ Courteney Cox‚ ‘The One on the Last Night’ (season 6‚ aired November 4‚ 1999)‚ 1994-2004. ©Warner Bros.
