📱Apple will release a new iPhone SE with its own 5G modem in 2025

The future iPhone SE excites the minds of insiders. In January, the authoritative Ming-Chi Kuo announced that Apple had stopped developing it. Almost two months later, at the end of February, Kuo announced that development had resumed. And in mid-April, Haitong International Securities agency revealed details about the upcoming iPhone SE.

This device will receive its own 5G modem, which Apple has been developing for several years. TSMC will produce it by order of the company using its own 4-nm process technology.

The Apple modem will only support frequencies up to 6 GHz. This means that the fastest but most unstable mmWave band, for which some versions of iPhones have a dedicated antenna in the form of an oval spot on the side, will not support a 5G modem.

According to insiders, the future iPhone SE will receive a 6.1-inch OLED display, that is, it will not use the iPhone XR or 11 chassis.👍🏽

🔐Neural networks break passwords

Astrologers have announced weeks of creepy news about neural networks. The new PassGAN neural network from the developers of the cybersecurity portal Home Security Heroes has learned to pick up passwords with frightening speed.

We tested the algorithm on the merged database of user accounts of the MySpace portal, and in just one minute the neural network hacked half of them. It took about four weeks for the neural network to cope with more complex combinations — during this period it opened 81% of the database.

You can compete with the neural network in the ability to compose strong passwords on the developer's website. We experimentally checked the password automatically suggested by macOS — it will take six quadrillion years to decrypt it. But Qwerty1 and Admin.1 will be hacked almost instantly.

Thing of the Day: Xiaomi MIJIA audio sticks

Xiaomi has a MIJIA sub-brand. Previously, smart home devices were produced under it, and now, it seems, everything in a row. And here is another release from this "everything in a row" — MIJIA Smart Audio Glasses.

As the name implies, these are smart audio boxes. They can do all the same things as other audiochki: 7 hours of talking on the phone, as well as listening to music for ten hours without stopping. In total, the glasses will last 22 hours on battery power. Or they will last a week in standby mode.

Charging is quite simple: the ends of the glasses' arms must be inserted into a special docking station. The glasses are able to connect via Bluetooth to two devices at once.

The price in China is 799 yuan ($120 or 9.5 thousand rubles) at the crowdfunding stage and 899 yuan ($130 or 11 thousand) after.

🖥️A mysterious document about Bitcoin was found in macOS

Users have discovered that on most computers with the macOS Catalina version and newer there is a strange file with a description of the Bitcoin cryptocurrency. Moreover, the document is signed by the name of Satoshi Nakamoto — the semi-mythical creator of the first version of the software, with which the history of the crypt began.

The file is used in the Image Capture utility as a sample document for the Virtual Scanner II device. Its presence can be checked through the terminal by the command:

open /System/Library/Image\ Capture/Devices/VirtualScanner.app/Contents/Resources/simpledoc.pdf

Or use the Finder search.
The network has already begun to build conspiracy theories and search for deeper meaning, but most likely everything is much more prosaic.

The article is quite famous, and there is information about it in Wikipedia, so it is likely that the developers just wanted to replace the boring text about French rolls and tea with something more original.👍

📱What would iOS look like on the iPhone 14 Pro if Jony Ive hadn't "buried" the skewomorphism 10 years ago.
It looks, frankly, stupidly old.📺

🚘But Porsche showed the interior of the new Cayenne. I understand that 3 screens is a new trend.👍🏽

📸Photo post: Limited edition Leica Q2 dedicated to the centenary of The Walt Disney

On October 16, 1923, brothers Walt and Roy Disney founded the Disney Brothers Studio company. Three years later, the company was renamed in honor of one of them. And especially for this event, German Leica has released a limited edition Q2 dedicated to the greatest animation studio.

A total of 500 such cameras will be released. Each of them will receive an individual number engraved right on top of the protective glass of the screen to the right of the Disney logo.

Mickey Mouse will appear on top of the camera. He is presented exactly in the guise in which he was drawn by Don Towsley for the cartoon "Steamboat Willie".

The front panel is covered with white material, on which a collage with sketches for cartoons about Mickey Mouse was printed.

In addition to the camera in the box, the buyer will find a carrying bag. It is also painted with sketches for Mickey Mouse.

The differences are only external. Inside it's still the same camera. Leica Q2 | Disney's "100 Years of Wonder" will go on sale in April. The price is 6200 € (approximately 520 thousand rubles at the exchange rate of the Central Bank).💵

🚘From 0 to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds — try to catch up with the new Lamborghini Revuelto

The new supercar replaced the Lamborghini Aventador, which was produced between 2011 and 2021. The car turned out to be the most popular model of the company. It sold more than 11,000 cars, although it was originally planned to sell about 4,000.

Now the 1015-horsepower Lamborghini Revuelto hybrid is taking over. It has three auxiliary electric motors: one for each front wheel and one on the rear axle, but the power reserve from the electric battery is only 10 km. Moreover, the car moves in reverse exclusively on electricity.

Atmospheric 6.5-liter V12, all-wheel drive and a top speed of over 350 km/h. But a ferocious car can be a cute tame animal if you choose the simplest driving mode out of 13 possible. On Revuelto's "minimalks", the power is limited to 180 hp — you can safely move around relying on carbon-ceramic brake discs.

As befits a car for a real billionaire for 500,000 €, the doors of the Lamborghini Revuelto open up. It is important.🔥

🍏Apple has Released iOS 16.4 Release Candidate

The update added the "Voice Isolation" function for regular calls. Previously, it was only available for Internet calls.

The duplicate photo search function now works in the shared iCloud library.

In the universal access settings, an option has appeared to automatically darken the video when light flashes or strobe lights are detected.

But the most interesting thing is the system code. It found mention of new AirPods and a charging case. It can be a budget model that insiders have previously talked about, or a second-generation AirPods Pro with USB-C instead of Lightning.

Also in the code we found a mention of Beats Studio Buds+. The headphones will receive a new chip and part of the AirPods Pro 2 chips.

The final version of iOS 16.4 should be released in a week or two.🔥

📱The CAD drawing shows part of the new iPhone 15 Pro. The drawing confirms the rumors that the iPhone will lose its physical buttons.

The platform that recognizes the pressing at the top and bottom will be responsible for adjusting the volume. The same will happen with the lever for silent mode — it will respond to the pressure of the finger, turning on or off the sound.

According to personal experience, there were no falling volume levers or volume control buttons in iPhones, but apparently Apple knows better. Fewer details — higher protection from moisture and dust.

The innovation will affect the Pro-series models, and the younger ones will remain at the same level.

🙏🏽Thing of the day: Table hand heater

Startup VARME showed a small device that warms your hands while working at a computer.

The device is safe: eight low-power infrared LEDs are used with the ability to focus thermal radiation. The device consumes 42 watts, and the temperature in the required zone increases by 10 degrees.

And VARME looks interesting — a metal V-shaped stray.

You can support the project on Indiegogo. The device costs 160 euros on pre-order. In Europe, the company has already received all the necessary certificates, and is now waiting for regulatory approval in the United States.💰
