| It's the day that Apple starts selling a bunch of stuff! Also, overseas shipping is thirsty work, and Uber faces a major setback in London. All that and more in The Daily Crunch for September 22, 2017. 1. Apple new stuff release day, pt. 1 Apple has a bunch of new stuff out today, including a new Apple Watch and new iPhones, and I picked up one of each this morning. Because for my job – or that's what I tell myself. There's a lot of new stuff from Apple, including a new Apple TV, so you can check out everything you need to know about the stuff from our coverage right here. 
2. Flexport flexes its valuation Logistics startup Flexport has raised $110 million at an $800 million valuation. That's a boatload of money, and that's why our excellent graphic designer at TC Bryce Durbin made the awesome image that accompanies this article, so please click through and treat yourself. 3. Uber's license lost in London Uber is not having a good day – or year, obviously. But today it lost its operating license in London, when the city's transport authority decided not to renew its private hire permit. 4. Bose's new headphone support for Google Assistant onboard Bose has a new version of its QuietComfort 35 noise-cancelling wireless headphones with a dedicated Google Assistant button and deep Assistant software integration. Plus, they're still probably the best active noise cancelling headphones you can get for the price. 5. Target broadens reach of next-day delivery Target is opening up its next-day delivery options to a wide range of new customers, bringing the total reach of the service to over 70 million in the U.S. It's what it needs to do to stay competitive with Amazon, basically. 6. Walmart works with August for in-home delivery Packages waiting for you when you get home, inside the door? That could happen thanks to a new partnership between smart lock maker August and Walmart. 7. Baidu is doing $1.5 billion in funding for self-driving startups Baidu wants its Apollo platform to be the Android of self-driving, and it's putting up $1.5 billion in funding available to startups to help make that happen. It's a good move in terms of helping drive the ecosystem. Great Friday level joke. |
