  • Apple Watch Ultra has exposed screws, but still a difficult repair

    iOSDevSWEiOSDevSWE
    Please AppleInsider, check your maths! If the battery on the Series 8 is 1.19Wh and the Ultra has 2.1Wh it is an increase of (2.1-1.19)/1.19 hence 76%! Not 60% 😉 However, the Series 8 is 60% smaller than the Ultra (because then you do (2.1-1.19)/2.1. Basic maths.
    If you are not convinced, imagine a Series 9 that is 1.5Wh and a new Ultra that is 3Wh, then without calculating you know the new Ultra is 100% bigger than the Series 9, and you calculate it that way: (3-1.5)/1.5=100% whereas the Series 9 is (3-1.5)/3=50% smaller than the new Ultra.
    Hope that was clear ☺️

  • iPad Pro with OLED may be more expensive because of dry etching

    This stuff is way, way, way beyond my limited ability to comprehend. And it's obvious that no one posting on this forum can understand the tech either.

    Well I do :) I’ve been a DRIE (Deep Reactive Ion Etching) process engineer for more than 10 years before changing completely my career and become an iOS developer. So I can tell you how amazed I was about reading about my field in this article where most of it is actually correct. An error is the sentence “While dry etching isn't strictly new, it's not used in much at present.” You would not have accelerometers or gyroscopes or sensitive pressure sensors without MEMS produced with DRIE (a sort of dry etching). Hence no Nintendo Switch, no funny games on the iPhone or IPad and so on. So what a mistake to say that dry etching is not used so much these days. The patent at the origin of it is called the Bosch process and it is from the 90’s! Airbags in cars have existed for decades thanks to dry etching!
    And if you play again one of the keynotes where Apple was presenting Deep Trench Isolation (DTI) in order to avoid having pixels bleed into another it is using dry etching. So all of you are using components made with dry etching in the gadget you are currently holding 😃.

    If you have questions about dry etching or working in a clean room making MEMS, just ask me, I’d be happy to explain.
    More articles like this! Thanks 🙏 

    PS: I’ve worked for Applied Materials Inc and have several patents on the design of DRIE chambers for MEMS.

    Full program? Apple hasn’t released a single session yet.

    One thing I like about my dell monitors Is that they rotate.  What are good stands for the studio display that rotate?

    sounds like a nice monitor, but they should have included FaceId since it has the A13 chip.
    I agree with you: I’m not tilting my screens as much as I rotate them. Too bad Apple doesn’t have a solution for that.
    FaceID would have been nice but is not possible as it is tied to a chip with Secure Enclave. The A13 you mention has the correct version with Secure Enclave but can only decrypt what’s on that chip. You don’t plan to store things on your screen do you? As you can’t use one Secure Enclave to decrypt another (the one in your laptop) you can’t use FaceID on a screen.
    However that would have been nice: just sit in front of your screen and bam! you get logged in! Even if you use your laptop in clamshell mode like me.
    Anyway, they have solved the problem with the new magic keyboard that has a touchID button which works if you have an M1 chip in your laptop.
    Who knows, maybe they’ll upgrade from the A13 to M1 inside the screen and you’ll get FaceID for “free”?

    No biggy. It's software bug so will be fixed in dot release.
    You don’t seem to grasp the depth of this exploit. Any app could have been downloading everyone’s contacts. It is one of the worst exploit I’ve ever heard of. There is no way to get rid of it. Oh yeah: switch off your phone!

    Bullshit. Give us your real name and security expert credentials and then maybe we’ll pay attention. Otherwise you are just an anonymous tech blog chicken little. How many times have we had to endure predictions of doom by a user claiming to have 30 years experience in IT and a literal God of the internet, only to find out those predictions were baloney?
    Haha, your comment proves you are not a developer. You don’t need any of my credentials, you can try it yourself! Just do like me: you go to GitHub we’re the code is: https://github.com/illusionofchaos/ios-gamed-0day then install it on your iPhone. You are not a developer but you can install it on your phone by first downloading Xcode on your Mac (free). Then register an AppleID (free). As a non developer you are authorized to install max 3 apps which is enough here. When Xcode is installed open up the .xcodeproj file you downloaded from GitHub. Change in “Signing” to your “appleID”. After that can you try the app! You will see just like me several rows (a List since the dev wrote the code in SwiftUI). The first one links you to all your Contacts, interactions with them with many details. After that the row supposed to display “speedDial” fails so I can’t see any phone calls, instead comes a line pointing to pictures from your contacts. Later on details about your Game Center ID (AppleID, Full name and surname).
    I’m not only an iOS developer, I’m also a mobile pentester with GIAC certification from my SEC575 sans.org course: I tried to use exploit to show info about the IMSI info (xpc service mmcs.plist) but did not manage it.
    So no, I’m not alarmist, I just tried the code myself instead of just reading the info.
