Apple responds to iPhone 17 Pro scratch and durability concerns

9to5mac.com Chance Miller 2025-10-20 12:48:49

It wouldn’t be a new iPhone launch without some drama. While the iPhone Air has impressed in all bend and scratch tests, some users have raised concerns over the durability of the iPhone 17 Pro’s aluminum body. I spoke to Apple about these concerns, and here’s what it said. The “scratchgate” narrative first materialized in a Bloomberg story published on iPhone 17 launch day. The article highlighted several examples of wear and tear on iPhone 17 Pro demo units in Apple Stores and other retail p

Python on the Edge: Fast, sandboxed, and powered by WebAssembly

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-20 11:48:36

With AI workloads on the rise, the demand for Python support on WebAssembly on the Edge has grown rapidly. However, bringing Python to WebAssembly isn't trivial as it means supporting native modules like numpy , pandas , and pydantic . While projects like pyodide made strides in running Python in the browser via WebAssembly, their trade-offs don't fully fit server-side needs. After months of hard work, today we're thrilled to announce full Python support in Wasmer Edge (Beta) powered by WebAss

Smartphone Cameras Go Hyperspectral

news.ycombinator.com Charles Q. Choi 2025-10-20 15:20:33

The human eye is mostly sensitive to only three bands of the electromagnetic spectrum—red, green, and blue (RGB)—in the visible range. In contrast, off-the-shelf smartphone camera sensors are potentially hyperspectral in nature, meaning that each pixel is sensitive to far more spectral bands. Now scientists have found a simple way for any conventional smartphone camera to serve as a hyperspectral sensor—by placing a card with a chart on it within its view.

Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority TL;DR Apple could finally fix existing limitations with third-party watches, allowing notifications to work more efficiently. A new notifications feature has been discovered in iOS 26.1 beta’s code, indicating broader support for watches, fitness trackers, and accessories with screens.

iPhone 17 Pro’s ‘scratchgate’ is a lesson in design for Android

Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority TL;DR The iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max are facing a “scratchgate” controversy due to widespread scratches on demo units. The issue is not the return to aluminum as a build material, but a design flaw in the sharp-edged camera plateau. This “spalling” damage should serve as a warning to Android brands who might try to copy the design. Apple recently launched the iPhone 17 series and the iPhone Air.

If you'll indulge me for a moment, here's some ancient history. In 2008, when Apple took the very first MacBook Air out of a manila envelope, it was not positioned as Apple's new entry-level Mac laptop. The innovative but flawed system started at $1,799, far above the $999 price of the entry-level plastic MacBook and well into MacBook Pro territory. In those early, formative years, the "Air" branding denoted not a midrange or entry-level model but an alternate branching path from the baseline
