  • Thanks!

    There’s one part you imitate the keys’ teeth with, those are the picks with different patterns visible in the photo.

    But then there’s the part with which you imitate the turning movement of a genuine key, and it has to be robust, as it needs to be able to turn the lock while still allowing space for the teeth-aligning-tool from above, so there’s higher forces on smaller surfaces. That’s why I said sturdy :D

    And it kinda looks like the longer part in your pic’s pick (sorry :P) in the back, but I’m not sure.








  • I’ve tried using wireless charging in a friend’s car on my iPhone SE a few weeks back.

    Result: notification that charging had (!) to be stopped at around 50% due to overheating and was poised to continue once the iPhone had cooled down sufficiently. It never continued as that was all I needed to know about the current state of wireless charging with light usage on the side.

    Good point on the wireless listening and ear pieces needing a battery as well, though. I guess with those it comes down to convenience for most buyers.


  • Also from the leaks a while back the USB 2.0 speeds via USB-C will “only” affect the standard models, apparently.

    Pro models should receive some form of Thunderbolt 3 (not 4*)/USB 4… so it’s more than likely Apple will get away with this once more.

    *Side note: TB4 spec requires supporting more than 1 external display/monitor iirc, and it’s pretty safe to say the next iPhone Pro will not do that, lol. Pay attention to Apple’s Marketing: with the products where this is applicable in recent times, it tends to say “Thunderbolt/USB 4”, because it’s only Thunderbolt 3, not 4, the newest/better standard (e.g. Macbook Air).
