The help

Paying monthly for the latest iPhone could bring convenience to users, and value to Apple's investors.

Apple’s potential move to subscription hardware could put telcos in a tough spot. And third, Apple will no doubt initially target its biggest fans and premium handset buyers; people who buy the most expensive iPhone and upgrade frequently. If subscribers get a new iPhone every 12 months, Apple could set the monthly cost significantly lower than the retail price divided by 12, because it would be getting the year-old devices back to refurbish and resell. Subscriptions are nothing new for entertainment, and they’re taking hold as a primary way to access software services as well. The service could also potentially give Apple more direct access to its most dedicated users, gaining instant test cases and evangelists for new hardware innovations. First, depending on how Apple’s subscription was priced, the status quo of second-hand iPhones holding their value could be disrupted.

CAR T-therapy has had lackluster success against solid tumors. Boosting it with an mRNA vaccine appears to make it more effective.

Using an mRNA vaccine to augment a patient’s CAR T-cell population is an idea that might well carry into future work in cell therapy, Kristin Anderson, a cell therapy researcher at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Institute who did not work on the trial, told STAT. “Part of the problem with cell therapy in solid tumors is you do all this work to engineer T cells and then they might not get in and infiltrate tumors. Here, a CAR T-cell product targeting claudin-6 is novel and demonstrated promising results in selected solid tumors — though the impact on outcomes remains unclear.” “CAR T-cell therapy has become the standard of care for selected patients with [blood cancers,]” Fung said in a statement emailed to STAT. “Prior studies for solid tumors were disappointing. The idea is that immune cells known as antigen-presenting cells will take up the vaccine, produce claudin-6, and then present the protein to the CAR T-cells circulating in the body. “I was quite skeptical at first because CAR T-therapy hadn’t worked before in solid tumors, so we were very excited to see how the metastases disappeared and the patients improved,” Haanen said. That enables the CAR T-cell to see and attack these cancer cells.

The best way to protect yourself against getting both infections this winter is to make sure you’ve had your influenza vaccine and are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, including any recommended booster doses. Free influenza vaccines under the National Immunisation Program became available in April 2022. Vaccination experts recommend influenza vaccination for all people aged 6 months and over.

However, in order for the metaverse to become truly beneficial for users in private and professional realms, there is a need for significant hardware improvements for realistic visual experiences. And, with over half of the world’s population, or more than 4.5 billion people, estimated to have access to the internet, it’s a lofty but plausible goal. To satisfy the viewer, an ultimate experience will be hardware that offers comfort through social ability, visual perception and wearability, as well as immersion through resolution, gestures and haptic interactions. This requires a well-established understanding of engineering, design, and manufacturing to provide complex optical and cost-effective solutions in high volume. Just shy of the start of 2022, a three-story yacht that exists only in the metaverse was also bought for $650,000, complete with a DJ booth, hot tubs and two helipads. It’s critical to collaborate with a trusted manufacturing partner that has established global experts in optical systems and technologies in the development of these innovations. Legacy devices lack the ability to provide impactful connections between digital and physical worlds that are seamless and interchangeable. It’s evident that the metaverse will heavily impact the economy and our lifestyles as its adoption becomes more prevalent. It’s important to note that the metaverse can only be realized through the technology that enables it. The concept of living in a world that is digitally created has been portrayed in countless Hollywood films depicting people who want to escape reality and dive into an alternate universe. With AR technology, users are operating a device that is essentially a lightweight, handheld or hands-free, immersive, and wearable computer. Still, many are left with questions about what the metaverse exactly is and how it would or could impact everyday lives.
