Something to look forward to: While Apple's new 16-inch MacBook Pro is an impressive piece of kit, there are many who wish a more compact, 14-inch version existed. Industry watchers have confirmed that Apple is making one that also ditches the dreaded butterfly keyboard.

In context: Apple is optimistic about the future despite the effects of tariffs, slowing iPhone sales and coronavirus quarantines in factories. The company's dependency on China remains strong, but some executives have pushed against that since 2015.

It's a well-known fact that Apple relies heavily on China for its manufacturing needs. For the past few years, the Cupertino giant has been exploring ways to shift production to other places like India and Vietnam, but not even a trade war or coronavirus have made

In context: Amazon's same-day shipping is set to get a whole lot faster. Currently, Prime customers can get free one-day shipping for orders placed before noon, but it only guarantees delivery by 9pm. Soon you may be getting packages even quicker.
