Apple's iOS 11.4 update with 'USB Restricted Mode' may defeat tools like GrayKey
There should be the option to totally restrict USB Access unless unlocked. Period.
Seven days is a long time to be vulnerable to physical attack vis the USB port.
Under what scenario do you need USB access to the iPhone's contact in an locked state?
Usually Bluetooth and WiFi connections should do just fine in a locked state.

Kuo: Apple losing AR lead to low-cost competitors, lack of software innovation to blame
Who cares about OPPO? Hardly anyone buys their hardware in the U.S. or even world.
AR is in every iPhone, iPad, and potentially every Mac.
The problem of AR is that it sucks. Does it solve any problem other than games? Hardly.
AR requires developers to create apps that use AR.
Does anyone develop for OPPO? Hardly.
Does anyone develop for Apple? Millions.

Apple planning to ditch Intel chips in Macs for its own custom silicon in 2020
Apple can
1) BUY AMD
2) or INVEST HEAVILY IN AMD then PERPETUALLY AND IRREVOCABLY LICENSE ALL OF AMD's INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Then Apple can build its own Intel compatible CPUs at much higher performance and customization of function.
Why just do ARM CPU's? ARM is not proven at all to be able to handle the heavy multitasking involved with laptop and desktop processors. Intel CPUs are.
With perpetual licenses to both the ARM and Intel architecture, Apple can simply blend, customize, and do what it sees fit to improve the customer experience. Apple can for example add AI chip processing to an Intel core along with a custom secure enclave. Apple can't wait long enough for Intel to drag its feet to do these things.
Intel has dropped the ball heavily. It's CPUs have not been much faster in the past decade. It is irritating for Macs to be held up in performance simply because Intel can't keep up with the technology. Intel's process is simply ages behind Samsung's process for example.
As Steve Jobs said, skate to where the puck will be, not where the puck is. Intel simply can't do this. They have been mired in the Windows hedgemoney for decades. But now that Microsoft too acknowledges that Windows is not what it use to be, Intel is in deep trouble.
