Beijing time on July 17th news, according to the technology website AppleInsider reported that it is reported that the two major smartphone giants Apple and Samsung, in conjunction with some of the world's largest operators jointly developed a new standard called "e-SIM." e-SIM will replace the traditional SIM card, making it easier for mobile phone users to purchase new data services. The Financial Times reported on Thursday that it is expected that the global carrier industry organization GSM Association will soon announce an embedded SIM standard. It is reported that in addition to Apple and Samsung, large operators such as AT&T, Deutsche Telekom, Orange, Telefonica and Vodafone also participated in the program. Even after the standard is completed, it will take a while for the product to use the embedded e-SIM card to start selling - at least 1 year. This means that Apple's "iPhone 6s" or "iPhone 6s Plus" phones, which are scheduled to be released this year, will not use e-SIM.
Fourth, charging technology
1. American students invented rocking chairs that can charge the iPhone.

As shown in the picture, the four graduates named the rocking chair Volta, and its built-in device can effectively store kinetic energy and convert it into electricity. It is understood that Volta uses the USB method to charge the iPhone, and the user can also observe the amount of power generated by the swinging chair on the iPhone.

2. The US government approved the drone delivery for the first time. On Friday, July 18, a temporary mobile medical clinic in rural Virginia received a batch of drugs from drones. Nowadays, the delivery of drones has finally been approved. This is of course the first UAV delivery service officially approved by the US government. However, this well-planned event also shows that there are many obstacles to making the drone delivery service a daily phenomenon in the United States. In fact, letting the drone delivery service spread to the US market is also a sight that big companies such as Google (microblogging) and Amazon have been expecting.
