Huawei responds to satellite phone fraud
Recently, media reported that China Satcom stated that the company’s satellite communication terminals did not cooperate with Huawei Mate 60 Pro. This remark caused an uproar, and some netizens even began to question Huawei's fake mobile phones. In response, Huawei's Bruce Lee reposted a long article on his personal Weibo to refute the rumors and commented: Some people are not only "chun" but also "huai". The long article stated that the Tiantong-1 satellite used by Huawei Mate 60 Pro belongs to China Telecom. China Satcom, a subsidiary of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, has many more communication satellites than China Telecom. However, Tiantong One is not managed by China Satcom, so Huawei Mate 60 Pro naturally does not cooperate with the company. In addition, the cause of the incident was that some investors asked China Satcom on the trading platform whether it had cooperated with Huawei on satellite phones. The official response was: No. This eventually led to rumors flying around. (Quick Technology)

iPhone 15 can use Android C-port accessories, but fast charging still supports up to 27W
According to Ars Technica, Apple's new iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are equipped with "completely standard" USB-C ports without any performance restrictions on cables or accessories. You must know that for previous iPhones equipped with Lightning interface, Apple restricted the functions of some cables and accessories that were not certified through its "Made for iPhone" program. As it stands now, all existing USB cables, chargers, and accessories will work with iPhone 15 models, just like iPads and Macs with USB-C ports.
However, it should also be noted that all four iPhone 15 models are equipped with USB-C ports, but the data transfer speeds are different. The low-end iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus have USB 2.0 data transfer speeds of up to 480Mbps, equivalent to Lightning, while the iPhone 15 Pro models support USB 3 data transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps.
In addition, although Apple does not restrict USB-C ports, it cannot directly control fast charging. According to foreign media macotakara, the maximum charging power of the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro series models is the same as the previous generation, up to 27W (9V/3A). The previous generation of iPhone models using the Lightning port had a maximum output of 300 mW (3.3V / 100mA). After switching to the USB-C port, the maximum output power was 4.5W (5V / 0.9A).

Unity closes offices after death threats
Unity canceled a planned town hall meeting Thursday and closed two offices due to death threats. Game engine developer Unity has caused fierce controversy in the gaming industry this week. The company announced that it will implement an installation-based charging model starting from January 1, 2024. Each game will charge up to $0.20 per installation. The Unity engine is widely used in mobile and indie game development. For free mobile games, this may mean that developers basically make no money. And this model is obviously easy to abuse. Blackmail organizations can use botnets to install and uninstall target games on a large scale and extort money from victims. Unity's approach has triggered criticism, and some well-known game studios have issued statements that they will remove their games from January 1, 2024.
TikTok fined 345 million euros for violating children's privacy protection law
TikTok was fined 345 million euros for violating children's privacy protection laws by setting the accounts of underage users to "public" by default, exposing children under 13 to risky content. In addition, TikTok does not verify whether the user is the parent or guardian of the child user when linking through the "Family Match" link. TikTok said it disagreed with the decision and planned to update privacy materials to make the distinction between public and private accounts clearer.
South Korea requires Apple to submit report on iPhone 12 radiation issues
South Korea's Ministry of Science, Technology, Information and Communications asked Apple to report on iPhone 12 radiation issues. Previously, this model was suspended from sale in France due to excessive electromagnetic radiation levels. South Korea's Ministry of Science and Technology stated that the iPhone 12 sold complies with international standards related to electromagnetic wave safety and has passed certification. However, in order to eliminate public anxiety, four iPhone 12 models will be subjected to precise verification. If the measured radiation exceeds the standard, Apple will be ordered to make corrections and may decide to stop imports and sales. (World Wide Web)
