The reorganisation of Twitter continues to unfold on a daily basis, appropriately playing out on Twitter. Why does it matter? Since Elon Musk's takeover, Twitter seems to have become a parody of itself. What's my take? A week is a long time on Twitter it seems, with workers at the company told to brace for restructuring, finding themselves cut-off from company accounts and told not to return to the office. Now [it's reported]( that some of those laid off are being contacted to return to the office, while elsewhere, Musk continues to outline new Twitter policy on Twitter. The most recent is the proclamation that [parody accounts could get banned]( and [name changes will lead to a loss in verification]( - although verification is no longer verification, it's just a marker that a subscription has been paid. It's certainly a confusing time, and amongst those concerned are advertisers, with several [making public declarations]( they are suspending spending on the platform.  Covid hits supply chains for Apple iPhone 14 Pro models POCKET-LINT What's happened? Apple has [released a statement]( confirming that Covid is having an impact on the supply of iPhone 14 Pro models. Why does it matter? The affected facility is in Zhengzhou, China, which assembles the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max. What's my take? Covid continues to have an impact on the tech industry and Apple is being open about this, saying that those who order the iPhone 14 Pro or Pro Max might have a longer wait. We all know that Covid has affected facilities in China and elsewhere, but we don't always get this sort of openness from brands. That's refreshing, even if it means waiting longer for the latest phone.  A MESSAGE FROM OUR SPONSOR Meet UPDF, the most feature-dense PDF editor on the market (40% off) SUPERACE PDF editors are handy tools.

The BMW 7 Series the designed to be the pinnacle of everything that BMW does. It's fondly referred to by BMW as "the best car in the world" and that's how it was introduced to us. It's available both in combustion and fully-electric powertrains, with BMW saying that there's no compromise: whatever model you buy, it's still 100 per cent BMW 7 Series - it's still "the best". We slipped behind the wheel in Palm Springs, California, to put the £108,305 car through its paces. Our quick verdict The 7 Series sits at the top of BMW's offering with the i7 offering a fully electric powertrain, so you can have all the benefits of the 7, with all the advantages of electric. This is a smooth operator, great to drive with all the next-gen tech to get you where you're going as comfortably as possible. Bold yet traditional design defines the exterior, while the interior offers space to relax and unique offerings for those in the back, like the Theatre Screen. There's no shortage of elegance, but the controls funnelled through that display could be optimised better. [Read our review.](  In Case You Missed it Siri could get faster than ever with a [simplified 'Siri' trigger](. --- More [Oppo Find N2 details leak]( including an imminent release date. --- Amazon Fire TV 50-inch 4K has a $100 saving right now, [coming in at $399.99]( (was $509.99).
