Analysts expected the game to make $3bn (£2.3bn) for Apple over two years as gamers buy “PokéCoins” from its app store. Google’s take on the technology will first be available on the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Google’s own Pixel phone. The company said in a blog post that it hoped to make the system, called ARCore, available to at least 100 million users, but did not set a date for a broad release. In June Apple announced a similar system called ARKit that it plans to release this autumn on

Image
Delegates were told, new research has revealed that ibuprofen – one of the most widely prescribed drugs in the world – increased blood pressure more than other non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
