The Light Phone is about the size of a credit card and it can do a fraction of what your smartphone can. And yet, consumers love it. The company is about to release the new model "Light Phone 2."
Joe Hollier is the co-founder of Light and he joins Cheddar to give a teaser for the Light Phone 2. Hollier explains that the new model will have the calling feature that the original Light phone includes, and much more.
Light Phone 2 is the same size but also includes the capability to send basic messages, get directions, and order a ride. The Indiegogo campaign launches on March 1st. Light is battling smartphone addiction, one credit-card sized phone at a time.
Greg McBride, chief financial analyst at Bankrate.com, joined Cheddar News to discuss inflation trends. “I think with strong confidence that peak inflation is behind us, the trend is definitely one towards continued improvement but we've got a long way to go,” he said.
Nick Bodkins, CEO & founder of beverage collection Boisson, joined Cheddar News to discuss how the industry of non-alcoholic is gaining popularity. “This category is growing but it doesn't have that scale yet.”
Wall Street closed higher Thursday after a report showed inflation slowed again last month, bolstering hopes the Federal Reserve may take it easier on the economy through smaller hikes to interest rates.
