Apple Watch Series 4:
The reviews are in
After several days of testing, reviewers around the world are sharing their impressions of the redesigned, re-engineered Apple Watch Series 4: 
The New York Times
“The new Apple Watch is perhaps one of the most significant developments in wearable gadgets in years.”
Women’s Health
“The new Apple Watch health and fitness features make it a powerful device for your overall well-being. That’s because game-changing bells and whistles have elevated the Apple Watch Series 4 from an investment-worthy health accessory to a sleek and beautiful device that actually might save your life.”
USA Today
“Bigger display, fall detection and ECG may make it the time to upgrade.”
Hodinkee
“It’s cohesive, it’s ambitious, and it might just encourage you to reshape your habits and behaviors for the better. If you still haven’t given the Apple Watch a shot and you’ve been waiting for the right moment, this is that moment. Go for it.”
iJustine
“This screen makes it feel like I’m watching a freaking IMAX movie!”
Men’s Journal
“Honestly, this is really not a commercial for Apple, but more a commercial for cool things I happen to like — and this is one of them — but the fact that they put some thought into making something that basically is looking out for you is a pretty great move.” — Jon Hamm
TechCrunch
“Apple Watch is an elegant solution from both a hardware and software standpoint. It walks the key wearable line of being engaging when necessary and fading into the background the rest of the time.”
Vogue
“Apple has also introduced a glitzy new color, gold-toned stainless steel, which pairs perfectly with the new iPhone XS, for those who like to keep their accessories in line.”
Refinery29
“This is the first Apple Watch that really feels like it lives up to Apple’s original vision for the wearable. The bigger display, improved speaker quality, gorgeous watch faces, and advanced health and fitness features make the $399 starting price seem worth it.” 
The Independent (UK)
“The design is just gorgeous and the bright, vivid display with its narrow, curved bezels, looks sensational. The uptick in performance power is noticeable at every level and the increased health qualities and fitness monitoring are hugely welcome. If you’ve held back from getting an Apple Watch because you thought it wasn’t quite there yet, well, it is now.”
Wareable (UK)
“The ease and availability of cellular, the accuracy and usefulness of its heart rate monitor and the breadth of its fitness ecosystem — these are the areas that have left rivals in its dust. Add Apple Pay, SOS, fall detection, the heart rate alerts — it’s incredible to think that the Apple Watch Series 4 will, undoubtedly, save at least one person’s life.”
MobileSyrup (Canada)
“Apple has managed to define what the modern smartwatch is. Rather than a device designed to replace your smartphone, the Apple Watch is a companion that features expansive health functionality and delivers notifications to your wrist.”
Best Health (Canada)
“I’m obsessed with the heart rate features. I was already using my Apple Watch to check on my heart rate during exercise, and I love that the Series 4 will send me a notification if my heart rate appears low.”
Vogue Australia
“It’s absolutely incredible what Apple has done in just a few short years with a piece of technology you wear on your wrist.”
The Straits Times (Singapore)
“The Apple Watch Series 4 cements Apple’s dominance in the smartwatch arena with its sleek design, useful health features and superb performance.”
Customers can order Apple Watch Series 4 (GPS + Cellular and GPS) on apple.com and in the Apple Store app. Apple Watch Series 4 (GPS + Cellular and GPS) will be available starting Friday, September 21, from apple.com, the Apple Store app and Apple Stores.

iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max: The reviews are in
Reviewers from across the globe have put iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max to the test. Here’s some of what they’re saying:
Mashable
“The improved camera hardware combined with a new automatic ‘Smart HDR’ technology, powered again by the Neural Engine and the A12 Bionic’s ISP (image signal processor), mean you get the best of both the advanced camera optics and computational photography.”
TechCrunch
“In terms of CPU performance the world’s first at-scale 7nm architecture has paid dividends. You can see from the iPhone XS benchmarks that it compares favorably to fast laptops and easily exceeds iPhone X performance.”
Daring Fireball
“iPhones can’t compete with big dedicated cameras in lens or sensor quality. It’s not even close. The laws of physics prevent it. But those traditional camera companies can’t compete with Apple in custom silicon or software, and their cameras can’t compete with iPhones in terms of always-in-your-pocket convenience and always-on internet connectivity for sharing. In the long run, the smart money is to bet on silicon and software.”
The New York Times
“Apple did a terrific job of increasing screen size without adding bulk or compromising the usability of the iPhone] XS Max. … These changes amounted to meaningful improvements in ergonomics and overall convenience.”
[Best Products
“We found iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max] to offer a perfect blend of design, craftsmanship, industry-crushing performance, as well as a seamlessly intuitive user experience.”
[Hypebeast
“It feels great to have a new device that’s optimized for speed. The time it takes to open an app is the difference between me forgetting an idea or not. With iPhone XS Max, I can do tasks more quickly, and features like the Camera feel more refined than ever before. All these little things are welcome updates that make the workflow from my creative standpoint easier.” — Virgil Abloh, founder of OFF-WHITE and Louis Vuitton artistic director
Medium
“In the pure-play photography race, though, Apple takes the lead. Its Smart HDR uses sensor, ISP and neural engine enhancements to capture some of the best high-dynamic range photos I’ve ever seen.”
Tom’s Guide
“To transcode a 2-minute 4K video to 1080p,] iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max knocked it down further to 39 seconds. … The Galaxy S9+ took 2 minutes and 32 seconds to complete the task, and that's the fastest we’ve seen from an Android phone. … Based on our testing, the A12 Bionic processor inside the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max make these the fastest phones you can buy.”
[Dailymail.com (UK)
“From a hugely updated processor, to an updated camera and terrifying loud speakers, everything about the iPhone] XS feels faster, snappier and better thought out than in any previous iPhone.”
[TechRadar (UK)
“The iPhone XS is for those that want a fast, powerful and impressive smartphone — not just Apple lovers.”
HardwareZone (Singapore)
“One of the best things about iPhone photographs is their bright, vivid colors, and the iPhone XS takes that up a notch.”
Sydney Morning Herald (Australia)
“The impact of the OLED display is pretty seductive. In fact, the whole thing is pretty seductive.” — Mags King, Sydney Morning Herald photo editor
Austin Mann
Customers can pre-order iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max on apple.com and in the Apple Store app. iPhone Xs and iPhone XS Max will be available starting Friday, September 21, from apple.com, in the Apple Store app and Apple Stores, and is also available through Apple Authorized Resellers and select carriers (prices may vary).

Program brings together leading minds – from Internet pioneer to economist to brain surgeon – to close the information equality gap and tackle society’s biggest challenges

Purchase, NY (September 18, 2018) – The Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth today announced its new Data Fellows program – a collaboration with some of the world’s brightest minds to harness data insights for social good. Over the course of the next 12 months the Fellows, including Internet pioneer Vint Cerf and sociologist Nicholas A. Christakis, will study trends and develop actionable insights to help policy makers and others put in place programs that can potentially improve the economic stability of vulnerable communities around the world, starting in the U.S.

Early projects include looking at the economic shock and recovery patterns following recent devastating hurricanes. By understanding challenges such as business recovery rates, tourism spend-related trends, and renovation efforts, the teams can help policy makers, local business owners, and local communities develop more impactful resiliency plans for the future.

“When a community suffers a shock – the closure of a manufacturing plant, displacement of family businesses through gentrification, or a natural disaster – the effects can be felt for generations,” said Shamina Singh, president, Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth. “In order to solve a problem, first you have to get at the root of the issue.  This exceptional group can uncover and help decipher evidence-based insights to make communities more inclusive and resilient.”

The inaugural class of Fellows come from a variety of disciplines and will work with Mastercard’s data scientists to identify patterns, develop research papers and glean insights to drive economic growth for underserved segments of society. Like other Center for Inclusive Growth data philanthropy initiatives, the insights resulting from this program will be made broadly available (subject to Mastercard’s comprehensive privacy and data protection review), so that others can use the research to inform decision-making and better the world.

The first class of Fellows includes:

VINT CERF – Widely known as a “Father of the Internet,” Cerf is one of the two co-inventors of the protocols and architecture of the Internet. He is also the recipient of the U.S. National Medal of Technology, ACM Alan M. Turing award, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. NICHOLAS A. CHRISTAKIS – American sociologist and physician known for his research on the relationship between social networks and well-being. Christakis is Co-Director of the Yale Institute for Network Science at Yale University and the Sterling Professor of Social and Natural Science. He was one of Time magazine’s 100 most influential people in the world and included on Foreign Policy’s list of top global thinkers. LEORA KLAPPER – Klapper is a Lead Economist at the World Bank and founder of the Findex, a global database and analysis of key trends around financial inclusion. Her research studies the impact of digital payments on individuals, businesses, and communities. RAMANA NANDA – Nanda is the Sarofim-Rock Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School, where he teaches Entrepreneurial Finance in the MBA program and in executive education offerings. MICHELLE THOMPSON – Thompson is an Associate Professor at the University of New Orleans in the Department of Planning & Urban Studies. She has pioneered the use of ‘p3GIS’ (public and private geographic information systems) to help communities recover and reinvest after economic shocks. MELANIE WALKER – Walker is a computer scientist and endovascular neurosurgery fellow who has served in leadership roles at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, World Health Organization and, most recently, at the World Bank where she oversaw corporate performance related to the twin goals of eradicating extreme poverty and boosting shared prosperity.

Through its data philanthropy initiatives, the Center for Inclusive Growth has been working to leverage insights for social good while maintaining the highest privacy standards. Previous data philanthropy efforts from the Center for Inclusive Growth include analyzing the effects of economic development in Chicago’s historic Pullman neighborhood, the impact of bike-sharing programs and free Wi-Fi on small retailers in New York City, and how local crime affected retail in Baltimore and Oakland.

“Companies need to rethink what it means to give back to the community,” said Jake Porway, executive director, DataKind. “Mastercard recognizes that modern day corporate philanthropy is not just about donating time or money to charity. It’s also about responsibly leveraging  assets like data insights that allow our best minds to study pressing social issues, and provide clarity around how we move towards a more inclusive and prosperous society.”

About the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth

The Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth focuses on promoting equitable and sustainable economic growth and financial inclusion around the world. As an independent Mastercard subsidiary, it combines data, expertise and technology with philanthropic investments to empower a community of thinkers, leaders and innovators on the frontlines of inclusive growth.  Follow us on Twitter @CNTR4growth and subscribe to receive our latest insights.

Purchase, NEW YORK – September 18, 2018 – Mastercard has reached an agreement to settle monetary damages claims in the U.S. merchant class-action litigation. The agreement formalizes prior discussions and has been executed by all of the defendants – including Mastercard, Visa and a number of banks – and the court-appointed class counsel for the merchants.

The settlement is an amendment to the financial terms of the 2012 Class Settlement Agreement and will be filed with the court seeking approval.

“We are taking a significant step toward closing a chapter in a long-standing case,” said Tim Murphy, general counsel, Mastercard. “We can put this behind us and focus on continuing to innovate with our merchant partners to deliver the experience and convenience that consumers expect.”

In addition to the original 2012 monetary terms,  Mastercard’s share of the financial agreement is an additional $108 million, which is based upon the allocation of financial responsibility that was set out in the judgment and settlement sharing agreements that were executed in February 2011. In total, the defendants have agreed upon an additional payment of $900 million in the current agreement.

The company recorded a $210 million charge in its second-quarter 2018 financial statements, which will cover the financial obligation under this agreement and for estimated liabilities related to filed and anticipated opt-out merchant cases.

The merchant class-action that seeks the revision of network rules is not covered by this settlement agreement. That action remains outstanding while the parties are engaged in settlement negotiations.

After court approval of the monetary agreement, Mastercard and its customer financial institutions will receive a release of all monetary claims alleged by the merchant class members concerning the company’s interchange and fee structure and merchant acceptance rules. This release covers all previous, as well as future claims, for a period of five years after resolution of all appeals.

By Nathaniel Gleicher, Head of Cybersecurity Policy

Over the past year, we have invested in new technology and more people to stay ahead of bad actors who are determined to use Facebook to disrupt elections. Today we’re introducing additional tools to further secure candidates and campaign staff who may be particularly vulnerable to targeting by hackers and foreign adversaries. This pilot program is an addition to our existing security tools and procedures, and we will apply what we learn to other elections in the US and around the world.

As we have seen in past elections, candidates and elected officials, as well as their staff, can be targeted by hackers and foreign adversaries across platforms, including Facebook. However, due to the short-term nature of campaigns, we do not always know who these campaign-affiliated users are, making it harder to help protect them.

That is why, today, as part of our broader efforts to better secure Facebook, we are launching a pilot program to expand our existing protections for users associated with US political campaigns ahead of the 2018 midterm elections. Candidates for federal or statewide office, as well as staff members and representatives from federal and state political party committees, can add additional security protections to their Pages and accounts. Page admins can apply for the program at politics.fb.com/campaignsecurity and, once enrolled, they can add others from their campaign or committee. We’ll help officials adopt our strongest account security protections, like two-factor authentication, and monitor for potential hacking threats.

We are working to bolster our defenses so that participants in this pilot will hopefully not need these expanded protections. In the event that they do, however, this program will help us quickly detect, and participants quickly report, any targeting that does happen. If we discover an attack against one campaign official, we can review and protect other accounts that are enrolled in our program and affiliated with that same campaign. As we detect abuse, we will continue to share relevant information with law enforcement and other companies so we can maximize our effectiveness. And, we are continually assessing how this pilot and our other security programs might be expanded to future elections and other users, such as government officials.

As we’ve said before, security is never finished, and we’re constantly looking for ways to stay one step ahead of bad actors. Although this is a pilot program, it’s one of several steps we’re taking ahead of the US midterm elections to better secure Facebook, including detecting and removing fake accounts, working to prevent the spread of false news, and setting a new standard for political and issue ads transparency.
