Apple will host an event on May 7, where the long-awaited revamped versions of the iPad Pro and iPad Air are expected to be revealed.

The event is scheduled to commence at 7 a.m. PT, corresponding to 2 p.m. GMT, and Apple is also preparing for its Worldwide Developers Conference from June 10 to June 14.

Vodafone’s India unit staves off collapse after record $2.2bn fundraising: Country’s largest share sale draws investors including GQG Partners and Fidelity

Quick Glance: Vodafone’s Survival in India Secured by Record Fundraising

Vodafone's Indian business raised $2.2 billion through an equity issue to avoid collapsing under a debt burden.

Investors like GQG Partners and Fidelity participated in India's largest ever follow-on share sale.

The 2018 merger failed to turn the business around, but with government support and new equity, a potential rescue is on the horizon.

Despite planning to raise about Rs450 billion in equity and debt, doubts persist over whether this will be sufficient to secure the company's future.
