Apple's A20 Pro production is going smoothly, except DRAM supply is bottlenecking iPhone assembly

TSMC is sitting on $1 billion worth of finished iPhone chips with nowhere to go
Ripple effect: In the run-up to the launch of the foldable iPhone Ultra, iPhone 18, and iPhone 18 Pro, Apple and its assemblers are working to secure enough mobile DRAM. Apple leans heavily on Micron for these chips and also buys from SK Hynix and Samsung. People involved say they still expect to meet initial demand, but they worry online wait times could stretch and store inventory could run out quickly if the shortage continues.

AI is flooding Apple with fake bug reports, and real $200K macOS exploit got lost in the noise

AI has increased the number of helpful and bogus bug reports
Winners & losers: Generative AI has become a double-edged sword for security teams.

The budget MacBook Neo appears to have been a major contributor to that growth. But as the Cupertino company prepares to hand the reins to a new CEO, rising prices could complicate the road ahead. Apple has already begun responding with a new leasing program.

Apple is reportedly exploring camera restrictions and on-device processing to prevent its wearable from becoming a privacy nightmare
Through the looking glass: Apple is facing a dilemma: how can a company that has long prided itself on respecting users' privacy release a product notorious for spying on people – smart glasses? It's something that Cupertino is worried about, which is why its take on the device is reportedly being delayed until late 2027.
