2. Five Easter eggs that Apple cleverly hid in the iPhone. For example, where are Steve Jobs’ glasses?

Nevertheless, they found as many as five real “Easter eggs” and told the story behind them. Some you will notice with great apprehension, while others will greatly surprise you.

3. I am a developer and no longer buy an iPhone, although I use a MacBook Air. Here’s why Android was better
I have a programmer friend who recently surprised me with a revelation: six months ago, one day he switched from iPhone to Android and from Windows to Mac. The cop’s decisions seemed strange to me, so I decided to delve deeper and find out the reason for such a strange jump.

You’ve been asking for a review for a long time. Well, it’s time.
This is the first article on a similar topic in the history of iPhones.ru. Therefore, it is important to talk not only about the manufacturer of the printer and the device itself, but also about 3D printing in general, and its brief history.

7. Various interesting things
📍 Apple is giving away 2 months of subscription to Apple TV+. Works in Russia.
You must not have active subscriptions to use offers. Available for both new and old users. Valid until March 8.
📍 How to set up anti-theft protection on iPhone. Or turn it off later.
If disabled, viewing smartphone passwords requires biometric authentication via Face ID or Touch ID; settings can only be changed without it if you are at home.
📍 Game developers believe that Apple Arcade will die soon.
Payments from Apple Arcade developers have been falling for several years. This is especially noticeable starting in October 2020. Both the upfront payments and the “bonus pool” have been reduced for this, and Apple is “evasive about how these amounts are calculated.”
📍 BYD Yangwang U9 supercar presented. It accelerates to 100 km/h faster than Ferrari and Bugatti.
The U9 is equipped with its own electric motors, which in configuration produce 1287 hp. (960) and 1680 kW Nm of torque. The car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.36 seconds. Maximum speed is 310 km/h.
📍 How to install VMware on Mac or Windows PC. For this you need a virtual machine.
The time of Bootcamp is coming to an end, and hackintosh in its modern form is living its last days. The only thing that users are now interested in is support for the desired games or applications on the hardware of their choice. And if the wrong computer was initially selected, you can solve the problem using the machine.
📍Owners of Xiaomi, Redmi and Poco smartphones are massively complaining about updating to HyperOS.
After installing the update, the smartphone may not turn off and go into a bootlap (cyclic reboot). That is, it will constantly reboot and not show the system interface. It is impossible to use a smartphone in this mode.
During reboot, Recovery mode is shown. Rebooting from recovery and switching to Safe Mode does not help.
📍 How to transfer passwords from iPhone to Android. You need a Mac for this.
Don’t trust app developers who promise to do this directly, as there is a high probability that they will steal sensitive data.
📍We’re sure you haven’t even heard of Li Auto. Why this is the most bacterial hybrid crossover in China.
There are young auto companies in China that are compared to Tesla. We’re already turning to Zeekr, now it’s Li Auto (Li Xiang) or just Li.
The company was founded in 2015 and specializes in the production of hybrid cars. In Russia, Li Auto does not officially offer cars, but they are actively imported and sold by dealerships and private owners.
