Why, hello there, good people of the Internet. It is me, it is only me this week. But nevertheless, Tech News needs to be flowing. Oh no, what is this? Yes, yes, kick. Oh my god, kick does this again. And it just enables the audio out of nowhere. Yeah, sound, oh, that's a good idea. Anyhow, welcome on this lovely 2nd of August, Sunday, 728 Yikes, okay. We don't have a lot of time. Let's get things on the road. Let's get things going, but not the first. I need to post this on the social media to let people know that I am doing the thing. Oh, yeah, I should wrap the focus. I hope everyone is doing fine, just fine, on this whatever day it is that you're watching it on. Could be Sunday, could be something else. I don't know.
Oh, yeah, yeah, here it is, Link. Hey, hey, yes.
All right. That short. Do it.
Anyhow, I hope every one is doing well. I got my obligatory. I just like the stuff, not sponsored, but the energy drink with lime and strawberry. I better not show my fridge, but there's like, I don't know, 12 cans of this, but yeah, again, not sponsored.
And I hope I never will be, otherwise I will be just drinking this for the rest of my days. And yeah, drinking energy drinks, not the best for your health. Anyhow, let's do the thing. Uh, is everything work? Yes, Facebook works, Twitch works, Quidd works. Okay, YouTube also works. It's like I have been doing this before. Very nice. All right, let's dive in to, oh yeah.
Yes, okay. So for those of you who have been waiting, okay, this is only in US., but yes, this will be most likely coming to the, to the rest of the world also, because, yeah, should be turning down the musical. Okay. Klarna and Apple, they have been doing the thing. So now you can get an iPhone for 18 US dollars, if you want to. The iPhone 17E for 12 Apple Watch, 11, the newest one. Uh, oh, okay. Apple Watch, 12
Oh, okay. Oh, what? They don't list the regular iPhone 17?
For the 17E. Wait. What? Oh, oh, oh. You don't see what I see. Oh, um...
There's no iPhone. What? iPhone? 17E. That's... Is that a thing? No, that's not a... Oh, it is. Okay. Wait, what?
I am so confused right now. When did this come out?
At the same time? No, no. Wait, what? Okay. Mr. Technology is confused about...
I completely forgot about the iPhone 17E, I guess. Okay.
Okay. Anyways. What about the regular iPhone do? Do they have the... Yeah, yeah, as low as 18, but...
Do you give me the regular phone price, please? Of course, they don't. Ba-ba-ba... Okay. How about... How about apple.com? iPhone 17...
33... Okay. So, for... 30... Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Here it is. 33.29 per month for 24 months. All right. So, that's a kind of a price bump from 18 to... That's especially because it's iPhone 17e and iPhone 17 Okay. Oh, yeah. I kind of see why they are starting at... This is the price that they are advertising. So, 33 is for the regular iPhone 17 and, yeah, 18 for the iPhone 17e, 12 for the Apple Watch, 25 for the MacBook Air, and 12 for the iPad Air.
Yeah. So, if you have been on the bandwagon of like, no, I want to lease everything, I want to own nothing, and be happy about it, then here's your chance, in US at least. It will come to Europe soon, because Klarna is anyway from Sweden.
Origin. Sweden. What? It's 2005? Whoa. That is way older than I expected. I thought it's more like 2010s or something. But okay. Klarna has been a, how old is Spotify? Yes, yes, yes. Whoa. Okay. Also way older than I expected. 2006
Spotify and Klarna are very close. Yeah, both Sweden, both 2005, 2006 Okay. Anyhow, yes, this is not for me, but I hate subscriptions, especially for things that are physical and can break or be stolen or like lost. And then you are like, I have to deal with... Anyway, but for the people who cannot afford stuff that this is maybe a great option, but yeah, I would not recommend it.
But that's just me. All right, any else? Let's go... Yeah, speaking of Europe, just EU being EU and EU being awesome. Just awesome. Starting on the 31st of July, 2026, so two days ago, it will be possible to extend the life cycle of products and create a system that favors repairing a product over purchasing a new one.
