Only Apple can invent the vapor chamber… 8 years later

Apple CEO Tim Cook has claimed that Vapor Chamber on iPhone 17 Pro/Max is "Apple's unique invention" and "innovation" that "only Apple" could do it.

Meanwhile, in reality, Android smartphones brands like ASUS and Huawei Mate have been incorporating the vapor chamber in their ROG and Mate X smartphones since 2018.

As for those who isheeps who argue that, Apple's VC is unqiue as its integrated with unibody aluminium design, well OnePlus Nord 4, launched last year, also features a unibody aluminum design while also featuring a powerful VC.

Well done, Apple, for catching up on vapor chamber tech. And cheers to the fans for celebrating a feature everyone else had years ago.

"Starting with patch 850 and continuing with patch 860, factory resetting is causing devices in the 11, 12, and 13 series not be able to get past the Google setup screen. This can only be fixed by EDL if the bootloader is locked and many users don't have access to a service center.

If you have a locked bootloader and want to factory reset, ALL Google accounts on the device must be logged out of and any lockscreen security (pin, pattern, password) MUST BE removed."

BREAKING: Xiaomi Scammed Everyone with Fake “Proprietary” Fast Charging Tech

The Xiaomi 17 Series will officially support 100W universal PPS fast charging and you can use pretty much any PPS charger and get full-speed charging — finally breaking free from Xiaomi’s own charger ecosystem. Meanwhile the Xiaomi smartphones with Surge P1 and P2 fast charging chips uses Xiaomi's proprietary MiPPS protocol for faster charging.

Well, if you’re rooted, there’s a sneaky trick — just run this command:

echo 1 > /sys/class/gcom-battery/pd_verifed

and boom, your phone switches from Xiaomi’s locked-down MiPPS to plain old, public PPS.

So after all this time, Xiaomi’s “special” fast charging was just a rebranded standard protocol, hidden behind a wall to keep users tied to their chargers. A senior CoolAPK user confirmed this hack works on all Surge P1 and P2 devices. In other words, Xiaomi fooled its own fans, making them think they needed proprietary tech, when all along it was just standard PPS with a fancy new name.

This could also be one of the reasons why Xiaomi is so desperate to stop users from rooting their devices by adding 69420 rules for bootloader unlocking.

Sony releases IER-EX15C USB-C earbuds to "help save the Earth" 🗣🗣🙏🏻

Q: So how does Sony saved the environment by releasing wired earphones ?
Notebookcheck: "Sustainable battery-free design" to help reduce their environmental impact.
Lithium ion batteries require "mining of lithium metal, which destroys the landscape and uses much of the fresh water supply around mines."

And what happens when Sony releases wireless products which uses lithium battery ??? Sony does not care to save Earth then ?

I wonder how much Sony paid Notebookcheck to write a shit review as no one buying their latest wired headphones. Its already running at 30% discount just after a few days of launch lol
