Xbox One X marks the spot. It's The Daily Crunch.

THE DAILY CRUNCH
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 3 2017 By Darrell Etherington

The Xbox One X is top quality gaming for those who love gaming a lot. And Twitter finally does what everyone wants and deletes Trump – but it was just one amazing rogue agent, alas. All that and more in The Daily Crunch for November 3, 2017.

1. Xbox One X reviewed

Microsoft's latest console can handle not one, not two but FOUR full Ks. Which is good? Probably good.

The One X is a stunning piece of hardware that delivers great visuals and gameplay, but it's also an expensive option, when the now bargain-priced Xbox One S will probably suit a lot of players just fine.

2. Twitter employee drops mic in best way possible

In terms of last day shenanigans, deleting Donald Trump's official Twitter account pretty much tops the list. That's what happened yesterday, when a Twitter support employee deleted the most notorious Twitter account in the world while on their way out.

3. Qualcomm sues Apple... again

Divorces can be messy, and especially so in the cutthroat mobile device market, where Qualcomm and Apple are engaged in an ongoing legal battle that's just getting bigger all the time. The latest is a lawsuit from Qualcomm against Apple regarding Apple allegedly helping Intel with its Qualcomm access.

4. BMW, Ford, VW, Daimler form joint venture on EV charging

Electric car charging remains one of the larger barriers to its broad adoption, but now a number of the top automakers have teamed up to create a new company called Ionity to equip Europe with a network of high-capacity charging stations. Good news for the industry in general.

5. Apple revenue returns to growth in China

Apple is showing revenue growth in China again, thanks to increased total sales and record Macs. It's likely to buoy higher thanks to the X, too.

6. Facebook wants you to poll your friends with Gifs and photos

Facebook will do whatever it takes to juice that engagement metric. Image and Gifs in polls is the latest move, which sounds like a terrible idea so I don't want it. Don't send me these.

7. Apple and Tesla earnings on Equity

On this week's Equity podcast, there's a lot to talk about because Apple and Tesla reported earnings this week, along with a whole bunch of other stuff.
