Apple event - live: Biggest launch in years set to bring headset and updates for every product
Apple is about to hold one of its biggest events of the last decade – and launch the product that could decide what technology looks like in the years to come. The company’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference will begin on Monday, at 6pm UK time or 10am local pacific time. It will start with a livestreamed keynote that will be available on its own website as well as YouTube, as well as being shown at Apple Park, its California campus. Every year, Apple uses that keynote to introduce updates for all of its platforms. This year, that will mean the release of iOS 17, WatchOS 10, and new versions of the software for the Apple TV and more. But this time Apple will also launch an entirely new one of those platforms, and the hardware to run it. Apple is almost certain to reveal its mixed reality headset – which has been in the works for years – and the software that will run on it. Apple is also widely expected to reveal new, more powerful Macs. And there could be yet more surprises in what promises to be a packed event. You can follow along with all of it here.

Drake tried to donate $500 on a Kick livestream - only for his card to get declined
'One Dance' rapper Drake – real name Aubrey Graham – was left in an awkward situation on Saturday, when the musician with a reported net worth of around $250m (£200.7m) tried to donate just short of $500 to an online streamer, only for his VISA card to be declined. Graham was hosting a livestream when the incident occurred, over on the platform Kick - which seeks to rival popular streaming site Twitch. The stream itself was to promote the online cryptocurrency casino Stake, and it was when Drake wanted to gift $499.99 in subscribers to a streamer known only as Daisy that he experienced some problems. And it all unfolded while Daisy was broadcasting herself getting a foot massage. As you do. After entering a verification code to authorise the purchase, the dialogue box disappeared to show the payment hadn’t in fact gone through and Drake would have to try and pay again. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter “Embarrassing,” said Graham in a high-pitched, sing-song voice, as fellow rapper Lil Yachty smiled at the mishap next to him. Given Drake’s aforementioned net worth, it’s unlikely the musician himself is in any financial difficulty, and after looking at someone off-camera and being made aware of the situation, it wasn’t long before the card issue was resolved and he was back to splashing the cash. Nevertheless, that didn’t stop the blunder from going viral on social media, as some were left shocked by how he said the word “embarrassing”, apparently: Others also noticed Drake was sporting fingernails with yellow nail varnish, with Marca reporting that UFC athlete Israel Adesanya - one of the artist’s favourite sportsmen to bet on – paints his fingernails as well. Well, at least Drake’s getting his card declined in style… Have your say in our news democracy. Click the upvote icon at the top of the page to help raise this article through the indy100 rankings.
