Episode notes
Apple Appeals EU Privacy Law
- Apple is appealing parts of the EU Digital Markets Act due to user privacy concerns around data sharing.
- The act would force sharing sensitive data with third parties, which Apple says undermines on-device encryption and privacy standards.
iPhone 17 Sensor Miniaturization
- All iPhone 17 models may adopt meta-lens technology to reduce Face ID sensor size.
- This would result in a smaller dynamic island across the lineup, a notable design change.
iPhone 17 Chip Differentiation
- Analyst Jeff Poo expects only the base iPhone 17 to use the A18 chip, leaving A19 to higher models.
- This creates more hardware distinction between the base and the Pro models in the lineup.
