iPhone 16 A18 processor isn't a 'binned' A18 Pro
To be fair, there's nothing inherently wrong with chip binning. It allows the manufacturer to use "imperfect" chips for other purposes, mitigating some wastage.

iPhone 16 Pro Max review: improving photography for all in a more than iterative upgrade
Pema said:While we are at it, it would be productive if Apple invested some time and effort into how to improve the typing on the itsy-bitsy dinky little iPhone keyboard. I type 75wpm on the Mac. Whenever I try to dash out a quick message on the iPhone it turns out into incomprehensible gibberish. Like 'I am on the home way home. What do you need from the store?' becomes 'I am gronome, need stira doya'. I have watched other folks struggle with this and end giving up and just calling. At least the words we speak come out intelligible.
I have much the same problem, and end up using voice recognition most of the time. I understand that doesn't work for everyone for a variety of reasons, but it works well for me.

Apple requests anti-steering injunction in Epic case be tossed given new precedent
AppleInsider said:a ruling by a state government that cannot be contradicted by the federal government.I'm gonna have to see if I can find out how that works. Normally, federal law trumps state law unless it's something the federal constitution delegates to the states. I can't imagine steering provisions fall under that. -
Indicted Eric Adams told FBI he forgot his iPhone's new passcode
MplsP said:Even if he isn’t lying, can the government compel a suspect to unlock their phone? Clearly they could compel a staffer to do so but would compelling Adams to do so violate the right not to self incriminate?SCOTUS has already ruled in some case or another about this. A suspect cannot be compelled to reveal their passcode. It falls under the 5th's "right to silence" interpretation.The same cannot yet be said for FaceID or TouchID. Some courts have said no, some have said yes.Number one reason to use a long passcode instead of FaceID to lock my phone.

Touch screen issues hit iPhone 16 Pro and older models
I've experienced this on my iPhone 11 before putting 18 on it. Very sporadically, and with no clear cause that I could reproduce.
