The figures from TD Cowen say that a 256GB iPhone 16 Pro Max costs Apple about $485 to manufacture, including the components, box, and assembly process. By comparison, the iPhone 15 Pro Max had a so-called Bill of Materials (BOM) of $453, about $32 cheaper than the newer model.

“No, you.”

They stopped selling products in Russia during March 2022.

That said, there is still a Russian language App Store, and they were letting people in the country get access to platforms and software that would allow messages to be obscured from the state.

Apple stopped operating in Russia over 2 years ago. That said, there is still a Russian language App Store, and they are not bricking anyone who bought a device before the embargo or anyone who brought an Apple device into Russia from another country.

I don’t quite know the nitty gritty details of what can and cannot be access via the Russian language AppStore within Russia, but it looks like Apple left some stuff accessible so dissidents could have access to secure messaging and computing platforms.

Yeah, they put product compatibility for everything on the site. But we also enjoy shit posting about this over priced microfiber cloth every year.

Sounds like a joke.

You might be on to something

When I upgraded it wasn’t so much about the minimal updates in this year’s phone. It was the sum of 5+ years of updates that was compelling.

Dynamic Island, a big camera spec jump, much faster Face ID, smoother scrolling, USB C, better Siri, MagSafe, etc.

If you want to give the big phone a try, you have 14 days to decide if you like it or not.

So, a YouTuber pulled a fat Mac?

I guess it would be sus if Huawei was using some charging frequencies that China was cool with, and this just so happened to only impact a lot of manufacturers that were outside of China.

But I don’t know if Huawei is or isn’t impacted. Finding frequencies in recent tech specs is kind of hard.

So what frequency do Huawei chargers use?

Here’s the second iteration of the OG patent.

Originally the simply device on the left was the one plunger to rule them all. It works in sinks and toilets. The flange and the concept of a toilet-specific plunger was a later concept.

This study found no significant differences in victimization types between same-sex and opposite-sex intimate partner violence for females, and no differences in physical and sexual abuse for males. Small sample sizes might have affected these findings.

c/all enters the c/apple_enthusiast thread

There is no separate install for Apple’s on-device models. You download the OS, go into settings, and opt into the Apple Intelligence waitlist. When you’re approved, it just works.

That said, Chat GPT and the Image Playground are not part of 18.1.

So far it still feels pretty beta-y. AKA, not great.

But that might also change over the coming days. I don’t know if the local model is doing any background indexing.

I’m running it now. If y’all have any questions about the build, what’s in / what’s out, etc, just ask!

Right now it’s all opt-in.

That said, when it is enabled, you can disable it via: Settings > Apple intelligence > off.
