The A13 chip in Apple's cheapest iPhone SE beats the most expensive Androids

First ARM Mac said to arrive in 2021 with custom Apple chip
It will be the best move of Apple, ever.
It is also important to do it as fast as possible, late 2020 is already a bit late.
Maybe no one sees this coming but competition from opensource hardware and software designs will be intense.
Pine64 makes ARM hardware with Linux on it (not Android!) which is a decision as good as Apples macOS (Unix) on ARM.
The point is that a Pine phone costs $150, and no it isn’t junk at all it is pretty impressive.
On such hardware it is possible to install (for example) openbsd, one of the most secure and unhackable oses of this time,..
I’m doing that as a project on my Rock64.
Not being in a closed system has a lot of important benefits.

Apple sources 20M face masks, designs and ships face shields for medical workers
Nice, but I do think that distributed production is the future, the end of dependency on big Corp is nigh ...3D printed my own facemasks, looked at thingiverse for designs.
I printed with two types of materials: for the filter holder and first part of the mask I printed with PLA to make it sturdy for the rotate click fitting and continued printing with flexible TPU to ensure an optimal fit.
Really great result.
