Upcoming Startup Events: Reliance’s AGM, Fintech Festival & More

Last week, global tech giant Apple hosted its first virtual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) on YouTube. At the event, Apple announced new launches, updates and features for its iOS devices. But the biggest announcement was the Apple-Intel boundary as the tech giant has decided to use a new product, Apple Silicon, to power future MAC devices. Apple would still rely on Intel for some of its MAC devices.

The company claims that its processors will give more performance at lower power, the problem all chipmakers have been trying to solve for long. Besides this, it has also launched an ‘App Library’ to allow users to customise their home screen.

As we step into a new week, here’s a list of upcoming events:

Reliance’s 43rd Annual General Meet

Reliance Industries is holding its 43rd annual general meeting (AGM), on July 15, virtually due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
