　　1. iPhone 8 sales are less than expected Apple cut 50% of orders

　　According to news from Apple's supply chain, due to lower sales of iPhone 8 than expected, Apple will lower the order volume of iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus for related suppliers in November and December, with an increase of up to 50%. Apple suppliers said that the new product was asked to start reducing its volume in less than three months after mass production. Apple has now been betting on the iPhone X instead. On the 19th, Apple's stock price fell by about 2%. However, industry insiders predict that by the end of this year, iPhone X will only ship about 40 million units.

　　2. Beibei.com is suspected of bundling sales and automatically renews for members

　　According to October 20, in the past two days, I have seen many users in the post bar saying that Beibei.com has deducted RMB 99 from the consumer's account without permission and automatically renewed its members. Beibei.com previously conducted an activity to activate a 10-day trial membership card for one cent. The activation was completed. After the trial period ended, there was no notification and the user's 99 yuan fee was directly deducted for member renewal. Moreover, the Alipay automatic renewal option is selected by default. If you are not careful, you will be "routine". You can only call the customer service to get a refund! (Source: TechWeb)
