Cellbrite is widely suspected to be using NAND mirroring, a method that's been demonstrated as a proof of concept. They de-solder the memory chip, clone it thousands of times, and then install an external interface on the phone so the chip can be easily replaced. Each chip gets six passcode tries before lockout, then they swap it out for the new one.

Perhaps I'm using it wrong but I find front-facing portrait lighting to be an absolute joke compared to the rear camera. It just can't determine the borders of my face, which I find odd since it has the ability to perceive depth. Stage lighting looks like someone hastily scribbled around my head with a black paintbrush tool.

My 2013 Mac Pro (trash can) just died. My main work computer. I have no idea what to replace it with. I am just staring at the Apple website in complete amazement. 

Unless things have changed, Apple still has a $300 flat rate repair for hardware faults, not including physical damage.
