Almost one billion iPhones are in use around the world

 There are currently over one billion Iphones in use and analysts say this will grow even more.

Apple says that they reached the figure of one billion in 2016, but they did not account for the outdated iPhones, writes "Independent".

In a recent post Apple expert Neil Cybartt said that according to his account, Apple has surpassed the figure of one billion users last month.

"13 years after its launch, these phones remain permanent for users," Cybartt said.

He added: "Competitors are either shamelessly copying the iPhone, or are heavily influenced by Apple."

So far Apple has launched 29 iPhones in the market.

To be more successful in sales, Cybartt thinks Apple needs to push the boundaries of camera technology, increase the value of the iPhone, and increase the number of capabilities the phone can afford.

German-French ACC battery cell project

 Opel is promoting the Joint Venture Automotive Cell Company (ACC) for the production of electric car battery cells along with its parent company PSA and French subsidiary Total Saft. The schedule announced in February for the Franco-German project has already been confirmed.

As planned, ACC will begin battery production in 2023 and will already produce eight million kilowatt-hour (kWh) battery cells next year. This was announced by ACC manager Jean-Baptiste Pernot at an online event hosted by the Federal Ministry of Economy, which was reported by industry portal Energate Messenger. The goal is for the capacity to reach 48 million kWh by 2030. This will be achieved with two large plants, the so-called gigafactors - one in Germany (Kaiserslautern) and France (Douvrin).

The Federal Ministry of Economy announced in February that the project should create up to 2,000 new jobs in Germany. In France, in addition to the plant in Douvrin, ACC plans to include two other areas: a research and development center in Bordeaux and a pilot area in Nersac, both of which, according to Energate, have already started operating. They want to produce high-quality, durable and affordable batteries for electronic mobility, Pernot said. The products are currently still very expensive in the market.

Pernot stressed the focus on sustainability. ACC will supply its batteries, among others, with a low CO2 footprint. 60 kilograms of the target CO2 equivalent per kWh is 25 to 35 percent less than the current standard. To this end, they rely on efficient factories and the use of renewable energy. Batteries are also designed for easier recycling and the goal is to disperse with controversial raw materials like cobalt.

In the future, the goal is to reduce Europe 's dependence on electric car batteries, Pernot said. Battery cells are currently mainly supplied by companies in Asia, as German carmakers - with the exception of VW - and their local suppliers have not yet given priority in this area. According to Energate, ACC also wants to develop new generations of batteries, including solid state batteries. As a "Significant European Common Interest Project" (IPCEI), the company receives state funding for this, with only Germany and France wishing to contribute 1.3 billion euros. According to the Federal Ministry of Economy, the total volume of investments is almost five billion euros. About two billion of these are planned for the Kaiserslautern location.

Freedom that soon super electric car

 Elevation says the handmade Freedom will have a carbon fiber chassis and will be equipped with three electric motors. There will be all-wheel drive and a two-speed gearbox.

However, there is also a possibility for a fourth engine that would increase engine power to an incredible 1,400 kilowatts, or 1,903 horsepower. The three-engine version has a target weight of 1,650 kilograms.

The interior of the car is inspired by the cockpit of a fighter jet. There is a digital display, a minimalist and very carbon center console and the company will allow customers to choose some interior details themselves, in the form of leather seats, precious metals or precious stones.

The offer will include batteries of 100 and 120 kilowatt hours, which will enable a distance of 482 to 644 kilometers. Accelerating from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour, "Freedom" will reach 1.8 seconds, and the maximum speed it can reach will be 418 kilometers per hour.

For those who do not want to drive electric cars, "Election" is also preparing "Freedom Iconic", which will be equipped with a 5.2-liter V10 engine accompanied by a seven-speed Es-tronic transmission, with a dual clutch and all-wheel drive.

It is an "Audi" engine that will develop more than 750 horsepower and will accelerate to "one hundred" in two and a half seconds. It is expected to have a top speed of 386 kilometers per hour.

The price of the basic version of "Freedom" will be 1.7 million euros, and the gasoline version 1.9 million. It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post.

The world is a new hypercar manufacturer richer. It is the all-new American Elation Hypercars that immediately presents its firstborn: the Freedom. The Elation Freedom is an electric extremist with not one, not two, but three electric motors.
