iFixit iPhone Air teardown

news.ycombinator.com Elizabeth Chamberlain 2025-09-21 03:09:47

To be honest, we were holding our breath for the iPhone Air. Thinner usually means flimsier, harder to fix, and more glued-down parts. But the iPhone Air proves otherwise. Apple has somehow built its thinnest iPhone ever without tanking repairability. Just a few months ago, Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge pulled off a similar trick in an ultra-thin package. How’d they do it? And how’d Apple follow suit? The secret: Thinner can actually be more repairable, with clever design. A thin phone party! Fro

Scientists Debate Whether to Halt Type of Research That Could Destroy All Life on Earth

futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-20 18:30:53

Scientists have warned that research into "mirror life" organisms — hypothetical life forms made up of molecules that perfectly mirror those found in regular life — should be stopped. Theoretically, it's a cool idea. But some scientists are worried that these life forms, if they're ever realized, could turn into a major risk for the world around us by turning into an unstoppable force that spreads without limits, overrunning and choking out natural organisms in its path.

It’s me, I’m the audience for the iPhone Air

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-20 22:00:48

Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority When Apple announced the iPhone Air, most people saw compromises. Thinner means less battery. A single camera instead of the multi-camera Pro kit we’re all used to. A phone that, without a doubt, looks more like a fashion statement than a power user’s dream. But when I saw it, I saw something I don’t usually feel with new phones anymore. A minimalist phone that serves my essential needs and nothing more. As a millennial with Gen Z tendencies, it’s pretty clear

iOS 26: How to Control Your iPhone's Camera With Your AirPods

Taking photos can be a fun way to save and share memories, but sometimes getting a good picture can be difficult.

But with Apple's newly released iOS 26, you can now use your AirPods to take photos -- so all you have to worry about is getting everyone's best angle. Apple released iO

The wafer-thin iPhone Air is surprisingly strong

You’d be forgiven for assuming the iPhone Air would snap like a twig under pressure. It’s almost impossibly thin at just 5.6mm. But, its titanium frame is not only stronger than aluminum, it’s also more elastic. YouTuber JerryRigEverything demonstrates this with his usual bend test. While he’s able to get some slight bowing by pressing his thumbs into the center of the screen with all his might, it doesn’t crack and immediately returns to its original shape.

iPhone Air bend test affirms Apple’s claim of most durable iPhone ever, front glass scratch resistance also impresses

This ‘Grue Jay’ Hybrid Looks Cool as Hell—but It’s a Warning Sign

Meet the “grue jay,” a rare offspring of a blue jay and a green jay—two common species whose evolutionary separation took place 7 million years ago. The resulting bird’s feathers are a muted, fashionable blue. But the marvelous discovery belies the fact that its existence may be the product of climate change’s threat to bird life. In a recent Ecology and Evolution paper, biologists at the University of Texas at Austin describe the odd jay in more detail, explaining how the blue and green jays’

How Apple used ANC to build its best AirPods features

Once upon a time, noise-canceling headphones primarily existed for one purpose: air travel. Bose and Sennheiser were among the first on the scene commercially, blocking unwanted sounds for pilots long before wireless headphones were even a thing. Today, active noise cancellation (ANC) is not just commonplace, it's practically expected for any consumer headphone. During the development of its four sets of AirPods with ANC, Apple has harnessed the power of its noise-blocking system to create a na
