Si Apple hubiera hecho un iPhone de oro no tendrían problemas ni de calor ni de rayaduras. Y si Apple le regala un iPhone de oro a la Comisión Europea... ya imagínateNos centramos en los problemas de durabilidad del iPhone 17 Pro, popularmente conocidos como "rayagate" o "scratch gate", atribuidos al aluminio anodizado de su carcasa. Detallamos las preocupaciones sobre marcas del MagSafe y la facilidad con la que el dispositivo se raya, ofreciendo consejos a los usuarios. Por otro lado, nos sorprendió la resistencia del iPhone 17 Air en las pruebas de doblado, destacando su robustez a pesar de su delgadez. También comentamos las mejoras en la reparabilidad de ambos modelos, que han obtenido buenas puntuaciones en iFixit.Adicionalmente, revisamos novedades de software y servicios. Mencionamos el soporte para el reenvío de notificaciones a dispositivos de terceros en la beta de iOS 26.1, una respuesta a las regulaciones europeas. También analizamos la implementación de los Model Context Protocols (MCPs) en los sistemas operativos de Apple, explicando su función como una capa de traducción para que la inteligencia artificial interactúe de forma más estructurada con las aplicaciones.Finalmente, analizamos en profundidad la carta de Apple a la Comisión Europea en relación con la Ley de Mercados Digitales (DMA), que domina gran parte de nuestra conversación. Comentamos las preocupaciones de Apple sobre la seguridad y la privacidad, argumentando que la DMA dificulta la implementación segura de funciones como la traducción en tiempo real de los AirPods, el iPhone Mirroring y el intercambio de datos de Apple Maps. Explicamos cómo la compañía cree que la ley podría obligarles a ceder el historial de Wi-Fi y otros datos a competidores como Meta, minando sus esfuerzos en privacidad. Discutimos la aparente inconsistencia de la legislación y la lucha por la interoperabilidad y la libertad de elección del consumidor que Europa promueve.

The panel kicks off with VisionOS 26.1, noting Apple's suspicious lack of release notes and testing new immersive films like the MotoGP documentary, Red Bull's skiing adventures, and even a BBC Proms experience. Dave also demos guest mode for Vision Pro with a co-worker, who was blown away by a Metallica immersive video. Next, they dive into iOS 26.1, iPadOS, and macOS Tahoe updates, highlighting live translation in AirPods Pro 3, Safari tweaks, and the long-awaited digital passport in Wallet—sparking a hilarious debate about whether TSA, Minnesota, or cable companies would ever accept it. The group then compares the Apple Watch Series 11 and SE3, praising brighter screens, sleep tracking, and health sensors, while joking that “Series 0 was basically an hourglass.” Marty even admits wearing his watch to bed for the first time. Conversation shifts to the iPhone 17's 18MP front camera, with its auto-rotate and zoom selfie features. Jill cracks that selfies are how people “die of bear attacks,” while Eric recalls tugging on demo phones in Apple Stores until the security cords screamed. Other highlights include:     •    AirPods Pro 3 fit battles (with Marty suggesting ear reshaping via screwdriver)     •    Repairability improvements spotted in iFixit teardowns     •    CarPlay connectivity bugs (solved with wired connections, or defended as “protection from the Cylon invasion”)     •    NCAA teams adopting iPads over Surface Pros (“Surface: best used as a coffee stand”)     •    Disney Plus price hikes and streaming bundle frustrations The episode wraps with speculation about Apple's ecosystem direction and plenty of laughs, blending serious tech analysis with classic panel humor.

iPhone Air fácil de reparar: logra 7/10 en reparabilidad según iFixit, gracias a su batería accesible, marco de titanio y rediseño interno  Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCo  El nuevo iPhone Air no solo es el más delgado de Apple, con apenas 6,5 milímetros de grosor, sino también más fácil de reparar de lo que muchos esperaban. La organización iFixit, conocida por desarmar dispositivos para evaluar qué tan sencillos son de arreglar, le otorgó un puntaje de 7 sobre 10 en reparabilidad. El resultado rompe con la idea de que un diseño más fino implica mayores complicaciones al reparar. Con esta revisión, el iPhone Air entra en un terreno en el que pocas veces se había visto a Apple: un teléfono ultradelgado que no es una pesadilla para los técnicos. ¿Qué innovaciones lo hicieron posible?  La delgadez ya no es enemiga de la reparación    iFixit es una organización independiente que publica guías y manuales gratuitos para que cualquiera pueda reparar dispositivos electrónicos. Cada vez que Apple lanza un iPhone, iFixit lo desarma pieza por pieza. En el caso del iPhone Air, descubrieron un rediseño interno llamativo: la placa lógica está ubicada en la parte superior, mientras que casi dos tercios del teléfono son ocupados por la batería. Esto evita daños por presión en el centro, como ocurrió en el pasado con el famoso “Bendgate”. Además, la batería se puede quitar gracias a un sistema de adhesivos que se debilitan cuando se les aplica una corriente eléctrica de bajo voltaje. Esa decisión permite extraerla sin necesidad de herramientas especiales.  El acceso a reparaciones de teléfonos móviles ha sido un problema global. Muchos fabricantes diseñan equipos tan compactos que reparar una batería o un puerto se convierte en una tarea complicada, costosa y exclusiva de servicios autorizados. Apple ha sido criticada en el pasado por trabar el acceso a piezas originales y por usar tornillos pentalobe, que hacen más difícil abrir los dispositivos. Aunque el iPhone Air mejora el acceso a componentes clave, todavía hay limitaciones. El puerto USB-C, por ejemplo, resulta más delicado de cambiar y Apple no vende piezas oficiales para esa reparación. Esta situación obliga a recurrir a proveedores como iFixit para conseguir repuestos y guías, lo que refleja que aún hay camino por recorrer en el llamado “derecho a reparar”.    El puntaje de 7 sobre 10 no significa perfección, pero sí un avance notable. Apple apostó por un marco de titanio fabricado con impresión 3D que ahorra un 33 % de material y añade resistencia. El diseño modular facilita acceder al interior y la batería es intercambiable incluso con el accesorio MagSafe Battery Pack, algo poco común en el mercado. Además, Apple publicó manuales oficiales desde el lanzamiento del dispositivo, lo cual representa un cambio frente a la opacidad de otros tiempos. Comparado con el Fairphone 6, que alcanza un 10/10 en reparabilidad, el iPhone Air queda por debajo, pero demuestra que incluso los teléfonos ultradelgados pueden avanzar hacia la durabilidad y el mantenimiento accesible.  El iPhone Air cuenta con una batería de 12,26 Wh, más pequeña que la de modelos gruesos como el iPhone 17 Pro, pero suficiente para un día de uso moderado. En pruebas de CNET, la autonomía fue mejor de lo esperado, aunque en jornadas intensas se nota la diferencia. El MagSafe Battery Pack, diseñado para este modelo, añade hasta un 65 % extra de carga. iFixit descubrió que este accesorio contiene exactamente la misma batería del teléfono, lo que facilita intercambios directos. La diferencia en autonomía se debe a las pérdidas en el proceso de carga inalámbrica, que pueden alcanzar hasta un 35 %. Este detalle muestra cómo Apple buscó estandarizar componentes para simplificar producción y reparaciones. Además, el puerto USB-C del iPhone Air está fabricado en titanio, usando una técnica de impresión 3D que lo hace más liviano y reduce el consumo de material. Aunque reemplazarlo requiere paciencia, sigue siendo modular y, con piezas disponibles, reparable.  El iPhone Air es un teléfono delgado, elegante y más fácil de reparar que otros modelos recientes de Apple. iFixit lo calificó con 7/10 gracias a innovaciones en batería, distribución interna y materiales. Aún hay barreras en puertos y tornillos, pero se avanza hacia equipos más sostenibles. ¿Crees que Apple continuará en esta línea? Déjame tu opinión y sigue escuchando el pódcast Flash Diario.  

Oracle names major changes at the top of its C-Suite, including new co-CEOs, and the Apple iPhone Air is pretty darn repairable, according to iFixit.Starring Jason Howell and Robb Dunewood.Show notes can be found here. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In just seven months since entering the U.S. market, The Repair Academy—a French-based specialist in micro soldering and board repair training—has already sold out its first American course and is preparing for a second. In this ASCDI- and ITAD-focused interview with Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, CEO Alexandre Isaac shares how the Academy's intensive two-week program equips technicians with the skills to diagnose and repair high-value electronics, from MacBook motherboards to server boards, that might otherwise be scrapped. The upcoming October 13–25 course, held at iFixit's Chattanooga, Tennessee facility, offers 130 hours of hands-on training. Participants work at fully equipped stations with microscopes, soldering irons, hot air tools, and DC power supplies, learning to read schematics, use diagnostic equipment, and replace components as small as a human hair. The program is designed for both aspiring entrepreneurs and ITAD professionals, with graduates earning the iFixit Pro Repair Academy Certificate—a credential that verifies they can perform real-world board repairs efficiently and to industry standards. Isaac emphasizes the business potential, noting that repair skills can be applied from a home workspace or scaled into a commercial shop. For ITAD companies, the training represents a way to recover value from “no power” devices, keeping high-value hardware like M-series MacBook boards and networking gear in circulation instead of the waste stream. Notably, the Academy offers lifetime course retakes at no additional cost, ensuring mastery and long-term skill retention. The Repair Academy also assists graduates in sourcing quality tools and fosters peer connections through shared housing and group learning—creating a community of professionals who often continue to collaborate. With eight different training programs already established in France, Isaac sees this as the beginning of a broader U.S. offering, including more introductory-level courses.

One of recurring themes in the new edition of A Circular Economy Handbook (to be published in November 2025) is the importance of systems thinking and systems design. I've been reading Seth Godin's book, This is Strategy, and he says successful strategies depend on two things: being conscious of the change we seek to make and the systems that can amplify or impede our progress. In other words, we must make sure we understand the different systems affecting the things we want to change. There can be multiple systems, many of which we have little control over. It's also important to find the ‘leverage points' – those places in complex systems where, as Donella Meadows said, ‘a small shift in one thing can produce big changes in everything.' Pretty much every conversation in the last series gave me food for thought and insights for the book, and in this episode, I'd like to pick up on some of those. First, we'll recap on the systems thinking tools and approaches in Martin Tomitsch and Steve Baty's new book, Designing Tomorrow, and think about the impact of strategies and systems - who we affect, and what kind of impacts we're responsible for. Then we'll look more closely at one of the key differences between conventional and circular business models - the role of the customer, and the need for them to be active, rather than passive participants. Finally, we'll unpick another recurring theme from the book - system value – a term used by the Future Fit Foundation for solutions where businesses address societal needs in a holistic way, while not hindering progress towards a flourishing future. The last series covers episodes 151 to 159: 151 Clarissa Morawski of Reloop Platform: practical policies for circular packaging 152 Markus Terho: The Lifestyle Test 153 Anette Timmer of DESSO: the beauty of circularity 154 Loic Le Fouest of Clarasys: creating circular customer experiences 155 Martin Tomitsch and Steve Baty: Life-centred design 156 Marcus Feldthus: the Post-Growth Guide for businesses 157 Liz Bui of Yulex: safer, sustainable materials 158 Steve Wilson of Compostify: bioplastics that enrich the planet 159 Kyle Wiens of iFixit: the rewards of repairability

The FCC is kinda broken right now. Ted Cruz will hold up Broadband funding to any state that tries to regulate AI. Google rolls the dice on another court case, this time opting for a jury trial. iFixit isn't much impressed with the Switch 2 repair-ability. Microsoft shows off the "new" ROG Xbox Ally. Apple publishes a study on how AI doesn't really "reason" or think. And what should we expect from WWDC? Will Apple show off more AI?

Kyle Wiens is the co-founder of iFixit, the international repair community known for open-source repair manuals and product teardown. Kyle is also one of my circular economy heroes! Since it started back in 2003, iFixit has empowered hundreds of millions of people to repair their broken stuff. Kyle led the international coalition that legalized Right to Repair, has testified before the US Congress and the International Trade Commission, and he is helping to develop global environmental standards. Kyle brings us up to speed on how iFixit has evolved over the last two decades, in its reach, offer and engagement. We talk about why we've ended up with so many products that are not designed to last and are hard – or impossible to repair, and why things are changing for the better. Kyle explains the importance of the Right to Repair legislation that's being rolled out, how brands that don't get on board risk losing out, and explains why we need much more information about product durability and repairability. We discuss some of the ways that brands can improve the design and durability of their products, and how iFixit can help them with that, and he offers a simple suggestion to help us all make better buying choices.

The podcast features Elizabeth Chamberlain, Director of Sustainability at iFixit, discussing the Right to Repair movement and its impact on the lighting industry. Traditionally, lighting was designed with standardized, replaceable components, ensuring easy repairs. However, modern LED fixtures often have non-repairable parts, leading to more electronic waste. Liz explains iFixit's mission to provide free repair guides and advocate for laws requiring manufacturers to support independent repairs. Michael and Greg argue that lighting should return to its repairable roots, emphasizing sustainability and waste reduction.  Liz Chamberlain is Director of Sustainability at iFixit, where you can find everything you need to fix consumer gadgets (and more). She heads the company's fight for the Right to Repair, which is the idea that you should be able to fix everything you own and manufacturers shouldn't be able to stop you. Her writing about repair and e-waste has been published in The Wall Street Journal and Wired, and she's been interviewed for NPR and Vox.  Connect with Liz: www.ifixit.com www.linkedin.com/in/elizabeth-chamberlain-4a96264a/ X: liz_ifixit facebook.com/iFixit instagram.com/ifixit  Sponsor: Griplock Systems griplocksystems.com

Ant Williams is a freediving athlete featured in the third episode of The Adventure Series titled "Ice Dive" that's co-produced by Apple and Atlantic Studios (formerly Atlantic Productions). In the episode, Williams attempts to swim a world record distance 182 meters under ice, and I wanted to get some additional behind-the-scenes context on his experience as well as what it was like to have the most intense month of his life condensed down into a 15-minute Apple Immersive Video. Williams is a sports psychologist who wanted to put his theories into practice by taking what he calls "positive, calculated risk-taking challenges" that allow him to deal with overwhelming anxiety, and overcome his fears, uncertainty, and self-doubt. I also wanted to get some additional context on the production of the episode as Apple has otherwise been pretty tight-lipped about the series, launched with which launched with "Highlining" on the same day as the Apple Vision Pro launch on February 2, 2024. Apple Immersive Video is a different format than spatial video. Apple says "spatial videos are captured in 1080p at 30 frames per second in standard dynamic range," and these are what can be captured by either an iPhone or Apple Vision Pro, and they are displayed in a windowed frame where you see the stereoscopic effects. Apple describes Apple Immersive Video as "a remarkable storytelling format that leverages 3D video recorded in 8K with a 180-degree field of view and Spatial Audio to transport viewers to the center of the action." Apple Immersive Video is much closer to what we've seen from the XR industry and VR 180 filmmakers from the past decade, and Apple's technology is likely derived from their 2020 acquisition of NextVR. NextVR focused on live stereoscopic broadcasts of sports events on VR headsets starting with the Samsung Gear VR and Oculus Rift in 2014. A lot of the technical specifications of the Apple Immersive Video format have not been officially confirmed by Apple, but there are a couple of breadcrumbs that give us some more details. Thanks to iFixIt's breakdown of the Apple Vision Pro on February 7, 2024, then we know the microOLED display size is reported as "the lit area totals 3660 px by 3200 px." 360 Labs' Mike Rowell wrote a post on March 19, 2024 saying, "Apple Vision Pro's screens are a whopping 3660 x 3200 pixels per eye. Although they haven't made any official claims as to the FOV of the headset, 3rd party developers claim that it looks to be around 100° horizontal. With each screen having 3,660 horizontal pixels, this would mean that a 180° immersive experience would need about 6,000 x 6,000 pixels per eye to saturate the display. Apple's own immersive experiences have been reported at being 4320x4320 per eye at 90fps and in HDR10." The reporting of Apple's immersive experiences was detailed by Mike Swanson, who announced a spatial video tool on March 7, 2024 that leverages the Apple's AVFoundation to properly encode video into the "multiview extensions of the HEVC codec, known as MV-HEVC" format. Swanson says in his post, "I receive multiple messages and files every day from people who are trying to find the limits of what the Apple Vision Pro is capable of playing. You can start with the 4320×4320 per-eye 90fps content that Apple is producing and go up from there. I've personally played up to “12K” (11520×5760) per eye 360-degree stereo video at 30fps." Another clue can be found in the Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive camera that was announced on June 10, 2024, which says, "The sensor delivers 8160 x 7200 resolution per eye with pixel level synchronization and an incredible 16 stops of dynamic range, so cinematographers can shoot 90fps stereoscopic 3D immersive cinema content to a single file." Incidentally, Currents director Jake Oleson told me that he used Swanson's tool to create his immersive film after shooting it in 8k on the Canon EOS R5 Camera Body with Canon's Dual Fisheye lens.
