State Farm sues Apple over house fire allegedly caused by 'defective' iPhone
ipilya said:what I don't understand... how did he buy it "new" if it was released in 2011.... that is a 3 year difference from when he bought it. Wasn't this phone already out of circulation?
And the article doesn't tell when in 2014 the iPhone was purchased and when in 2016 it cought fire. -
Growing glass crack appears at Michigan Ave. Apple store in Chicago
AppleInsider said:The damage is unlikely to affect the structural integrity of the building, but could pose a safety hazard to shoppers or passersby if the glass shatters.
But it's interesting that it cracked at all. The roof seems to apply an uneven load to the glass sheets.
If true it won't help to just exchange the glass, the next one would crack as well... -

Apple & Samsung could be only smartphone makers with 7nm chips in 2018
With Qualcomm's 845 produced in Samsung's 10LPP Apple will be the only one to have 7nm SoCs in most of 2018.
But at the end of 2018 we may see Kirin 980 at 7nm too. Transistor count for Kirin 970 is already 5.5 billion and chip size is ~97mm² - that's very big for a non-Apple SoC.
I think HiSilcon will aim for that density improvement 7nm has to offer.

The modem doesn't have to be integrated on die - Apple could integrate the modem into the PoP (SoC + RAM + modem). Intel is rumoured to bring production of the next-gen modem inhouse (10nm process, same desity as TSMC's 7nm). -

TSMC 3nm 'risk production' in 2021 paves the way to 2022 mass production
AppleInsider said:According to the company, the 3-nanometer process will provide quite a few benefits over earlier processes, even the relatively recent 5-nanometer. Compared to 5nm, 3nm will have a 15% greater transistor density, boast a performance increase of between 10% and 15%, and offer energy efficiency savings of between 20% and 25%.
