Burger King UK has pledged to stop advertising on its Instagram account temporarily to instead offer those little squares to the local restaurants that need it the most. It comes after more and more of England being placed in Tier Three of local restrictions, and so the fast-food giant has promised to help smaller businesses in this time of need.

Their Instagram post states that ‘There’s more to life than the whopper.’ And continues, ‘”There’s Roti King, Sultan’s Palace, Tayyab’s, Eco, Dumplings Legend, Ochi’s, Damak, Platzki… In short, there are many great dishes from thousands of restaurants that deserve to be as famous as the Whopper.

The pledge has been welcomed by the public and praise has been made for the burger company putting the needs of smaller companies ahead of their own profits. Since the announcement, Burger King France has followed in line too. Perhaps this will path the way for other big brands to do the same?

The founder of Tesla and SpaceX has recently become the world’s richest person, overtaking Amazon boss Jeff Bezos who had held the place since October 2017. Elon Musk’s net worth is now $188.5 billion- around $1.5 billion more than Bezos’ estimated worth.

Tesla’s stock share increased by 4.8%, making Musk the wealthiest man on earth. His wealth sawed in 2020 after Tesla was valued at £516 billion, making the car company more valuable than Toyota, Volkswagen, Hyundai, GM and Ford- combined!

The multi-billionaire has recently been in the news after his girlfriend, Grimes, gave birth to their son. The couple named their child X Æ A-12, but the pair still haven’t confirmed how to pronounce the name.

Whilst 2020 was a welcomed year for Bezos due to the pandemic creating huge demand for Amazon, he was involved in a public divorce in which he gave over 4% shares of the business to his ex-wife MacKenzie Scott, allowing Musk to overtake.

It seems Apple have listened to our frustrations during the pandemic, and the iOS update 14.5 will allow users to unlock iPhones with Face ID wearing a mask. Possibly the best news to come out of this pandemic, some might say.

When facial recognition was introduced, we were all amazed at the tech. However, many of us are longing for the days we could unlock devices with the simple touch of a finger. It seems there is a catch to the news- in true Apple style of making you invest in more products, you have to have an Apple Watch too.

The watch will need to be unlocked to sync, but the user looking at an iPhone will be able to unlock their phone, signified with a buzz on the watch.

The latest update, iOS 14.4 has only just occurred, so it’s rumoured the iOS 14.5 will arrive later this month.
