iPhones show you headphone levels in "dB", which doesn't mean anything. (dB C fast? dB LAEq 10? dB FS?) I hate this. But I think many people would think it's fine (they don't know what they don't know). In an effort to fit in, I will now refer to all weights/masses as ounces.

OneKey Founder: Some Older iPhones Have Unpatchable Chip Vulnerabilities, Posing Risks to Seed Phrase Storage OneKey founder Yishi warned that factory-resetting an older iPhone, enabling airplane mode, and using it to store crypto wallet seed phrases offline may still be unsafe. He noted that iPhone 4S through iPhone X are affected by checkm8, while iPhone XS, XR, 11 series, and second-generation iPhone SE are affected by usbliter8, disclosed earlier this year. These BootROM-level vulnerabilities cannot be fixed through iOS updates. Attackers with physical access and specialized tools may exploit them via USB, even in airplane mode. However, on models such as the XS and 11, these flaws alone do not provide direct access to seed phrases, as device passcodes and the Secure Enclave offer additional protection. Yishi advised affected users to generate entirely new seed phrases in a trusted environment, transfer their assets, use newer devices, keep software updated, and adopt stronger passwords.

Apple has turned the iPhones stolen from its Lille Store into useless bricks. After the store was looted during the recent riots in France, the stolen devices were disabled remotely. They now show a warning saying Apple is tracking them and that authorities may be notified. Stealing an iPhone from an Apple Store probably wasn’t the best idea, but these people lack intelligence.

$MU $SKHY $DRAM New iPhones are here and they are only $100 more than last gen, which tells me Apple is absorbing most of the cost. “On Tuesday, Apple unveiled the new iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, with price tags $100 higher than the previous Pro models. Apple has yet to announce the entry-level iPhone 18.” “The announcement illustrates how the global memory shortage has stretched a company as dominant as Apple.” Tim Cook (from his final earnings call as CEO, on earlier iPad/Mac price increases): Apple had “reluctantly raised prices.” Cook: “We did it because we're in what I would characterize as a 100-year flood on the memory pricing with exponential increases in memory prices.” “The memory shortage is largely driven by the AI revolution as chipmakers shift production away from chips designed for consumer products to the more specialized chips required for the data centers that power AI models.” “In June, Apple increased the prices of iPads by up to 25% and Mac computers by as much as 20%. At the time, the cost of existing iPhone models remained unchanged.” Google VP of devices and services Shakil Barkat (July, ahead of Pixel 11): “There's never been an increase in memory prices like the world's going through right now.”
