Cellphone battery sparks fire, evacuations on Southwest flight at Denver International Airport

A Southwest Airlines flight at Denver International Airport was evacuated safely Friday morning after a cellphone battery ignited. It happened on board Flight 3316 before 7 a.m. as the plane was getting ready to depart for the William P. Hobby Airport in Houston.

According to Southwest, the aircraft was still at the gate when the fire started. The crew was able to extinguish a seat fire caused by the burning cellphone. The passenger who had the phone suffered burns and was treated by medical personnel.

========================================

How does EMF cause lithium batteries to experience thermal runaway and thus spontaneously combust? One of two main ways:

#1 - Overcharge/Discharge

With various impressed external magnetic field intensities an effect was noticed on the charge and discharge curves as well as the charge and mass concentrations within the batteries. With the two-dimensional model starting from 0mT and going to 1mT had the effect of discharging the battery faster and charging the battery faster. With the two-dimensional model starting from 1mT and going to -1mT had the effect of charging the battery faster. In either case an effect on the various characteristics of the battery were studied. With the experiments conducted on the two types of batteries the effect was more profound than subtle. Discharge times were twice as fast and charge times were equally
affected. With the smaller batteries they all generally charged faster under the presence of a magnetic field due to more uniform penetration. In the presence of the field they also discharged faster. The larger batteries would not see the same uniform penetration because only a small area of the battery sees the center of the coil it is placed on

In this dissertation, they found that external magnetic fields significantly increased charge and discharge rates in individual lithium battery cells; like shown in the following image. They also found that smaller batteries were impacted to a greater degree than larger ones. This is likely a reason Tesla is switching to larger battery cells in addition to employing magnetic attenuating honeycomb sandwich battery pack.

Cell phone charging between couch cushions sparks house fire

A charging cell phone that was “tucked into the cushions” of a couch sparked a house fire in Pennsylvania early Wednesday morning, according to fire officials.

The Adams Area Fire District said firefighters arrived and found the fire “isolated” to a couch in a bedroom. The fire was quickly extinguished.

Fire officials said the fire was caused by a charging cell phone wedged into the couch cushions and a blanket.
Its doubtful the phone was tucked and likely instead fell in between cushions. However phone batteries seldom get hot enough to cause spontaneous combustion like this. Its more likely the phones battery was already malfunctioning due overcharge of battery cells from EM radiation. Dendrite buildup another possibility.

San Diego sightseeing tour company devastated after fire destroys 95% of its vehicles

A sightseeing tour company in San Diego is having to hit the brakes on rentals after about 30 of its vehicles, including several powered by lithium-ion batteries, went up in flames Thursday night, authorities said.
Lithium-ion battery fires have the potential to be extremely dangerous as they emit hazardous gases and can burn for hours or even days.[
In this case, the fire was quickly extinguished and it’s unclear whether the batteries were damaged, Rezende said. /i]

How a cellphone battery, charger caused a house fire in Brockton

A house fire on Tuesday was caused by a cellphone battery, officials said.

Brockton Fire Chief Brian Nardelli said that the fire didn‘t necessarily come from the phone itself of but an “improper charger” with no stopping mechanism once the phone’s battery had reached full capacity.

“People will buy these generic phone chargers from gas stations like Cumberland farms and it won’t have a stopping mechanism,” he explained. “And so it keeps charging and causes the phone to catch fire or explode.”

The Brockton Fire Department responded shortly after midnight and were on scene for an hour and a half. “Copious amounts of water” were used to extinguish the flames.
Yea i doubt its the cables fault and more likely EM radiation causing the battery to overcharge.

Apple less vulnerable to President Trump’s tariffs than ‘many might believe’ – Bernstein
Wednesday, November 6, 2024 4:02 pm
5 Comments

Apple is less vulnerable to increased trade tariffs from President Donald Trump, Bernstein analysts said Wednesday. Bernstein estimated that even if U.S. IT hardware companies increased prices by 20% due to higher tariffs, net profits stood to be materially impacted, especially for companies with lower gross margins.

Investing.com:

Dell Technologies Inc. and HP Inc. appeared the most vulnerable, while IBM was likely to be the least impacted.

Bernstein analysts said Apple was less vulnerable than broader consensus would suggest, with its high gross margins able to absorb higher tariffs despite its high exposure to the tech supply chain, especially in China. The company is expected to see a 7% hit to earnings per share.

Trump has proposed steep trade tariffs on imported goods regardless of the country of origin.

On China, however, Trump has proposed a 60% tariff on all goods, and as much as 200% tariffs on goods from Mexico. While Trump may not need Congressional approval to impose the duties, the Republicans were seen winning a majority in both the Senate and the House of Representatives.

MacDailyNews Note: Bernstein rates Apple as “Outperform” (Buy) with a 12-month price target of $240.

Apple underwhelms Wall Street with all-time record fourth quarter earnings
Friday, November 1, 2024 8:59 am
No Comments

Following Apple’s fiscal fourth quarter earnings report in which the company posted all-time record revenue of $94.9 billion (an average of more than $1 billion in revenue per day), Apple said that total sales in the December period will rise by a percentage in the “low-to-middle single digits.” Analysts had been projecting a 7% increase.

Mark Gurman for Bloomberg News:

Apple Inc., heading into its most critical sales period of the year, sparked fresh concerns about revenue growth and lingering weakness in an intensely competitive China market… The concerns weighed on shares in late trading, sending them down about 2% [shares are down a further 2% in Friday’s pre-market trading]. The stock had been up 17% this year through Thursday’s close, fueled by optimism about Apple’s artificial intelligence prospects.

Overall revenue edged past Wall Street projections last quarter — helped by global iPhone demand — but the results show that the company is still struggling in a key market. Apple is competing with local brands in China, which serves as its main manufacturing hub.

Revenue in the region fell slightly from a year earlier to $15 billion in the fourth fiscal quarter, which ended Sept. 28. Analysts had estimated $15.8 billion.

The iPhone grew in every geographic market, Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook said, signaling that the rest of the company’s product lineup may have been the issue in China, its biggest source of revenue after the Americas and Europe.

Total sales rose 6.1% to $94.9 billion, compared with an average estimate of $94.4 billion. Earnings were 97 cents a share, though they would have been $1.64 without a one-time charge related to a European General Court decision, Apple said.

MacDailyNews Take: Thank you for the early Christmas gift, Wall Street!

Interaction of mobile phones with superficial passive implants

In this study, numerical methods and modelling were used to estimate the effect of a passive, metallic (conducting) superficial implant on a mobile phone EM field and especially its absorption in tissues in the near field.
The SAR values increased most when the implant was on the skin and had a resonance length or diameter, i.e. about a third of the wavelength in tissues. The local peak SAR values increased even by a factor of 400-700 due to a pin or a ring. These highest values were reached in a limited volume close to the implant surface in almost all the studied cases. In contrast, without the implant the highest SAR values were generally reached on the skin surface.

Cellular and other sources of radiation increase corrosion of metal implants in the body! Look at the image below for those that store their phones in their pockets next to say a hip implant. Arguably less of an issue compared to actively using your phone near your metal dental implant which i believe contributed to Dick Van Dykes headaches. Thats why removing them fix his excessive migraine issues.

When EMFs activate VGCC, it causes a rapid buildup, negatively affecting the brain and possibly causing the onset of Alzheimer’s to speed up. Animal studies have demonstrated how EMF-induced changes in intracellular calcium levels play a role in the development of the most common form of dementia.

“EMFs act via peak electric and time varying magnetic forces at a nanosecond time scale,” explains study author and Washington State University Professor Martin L. Pall in a media release.

Pall adds that the peaks significantly grow with each increase in the pulse modulation coming from smartphones, smart meters, and even radar in self-driving vehicles.

Legendary actor Dick Van Dyke says he has solved a medical mystery that has baffled him and his doctors for years. The cause of pounding headaches that have plagued him for seven years are his titanium dental implants, he says.
There are tests for titanium allergies, says Dr. Brownstein, but that doesn’t explain what happened to Dick Van Dyke. “Titanium is metal and it creates kind of a lightning rod in the head,” he said. “It doesn’t happen to everyone, and most doctors don’t look for it. Most people have other metals in their mouths, like fillings, and saliva combines with the metal to give a battery-like effect.

“Any metal can do this, and it can be a big problem,” he says. “I just had a patient with issues similar to Van Dyke’s — headaches and facial pain that no one could identify.”

Sales of the iPhone 15 were “stronger than 14 in the year-ago quarter, and 16 was stronger than 15,” Apple CEO Tim Cook told CNBC’s Steve Kovach.
Thats surprising as there is nothing about the 16 worth upgrading for. Guess we will have to wait until Jan to see if thats true.

• $AAPL

Failed to follow through on its Bullish breakout from last week. That’s bearish and can always happen. Today it dropped below the critical $221.33 level.

I got stopped out. Paper cut.

Support is now at $213 and $196, we can re-assess there.

By Pam Martens and Russ Martens: October 24, 2024 ~David Solomon, Chairman and CEO, Goldman SachsThe Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) typically receives high praise from Wall Street On Parade for leveling the playing field between the pillagers on Wall Street and the hardworking poor and middle class of America. But yesterday’s announcement of the CFPB’s settlement with Goldman Sachs and Apple over some of the most abusive conduct we have observed against consumers in decades left us with the impression that Goldman Sachs’ lawyers had browbeat the CFPB into a watered-down deal.The enforcement action by the CFPB pertained to years of abuses by both Apple and Goldman Sachs involving the Apple Credit Card. Under the CFPB’s settlement, Goldman Sachs will pay $19.8 million in redress to victims and a $45 million civil money penalty, bringing Goldman’s total settlement to $64.8 million. Apple will pay a $25 million civil money penalty for a combined $89.8 million by both parties.Let’s pause right here for a moment. Goldman Sachs had profits of $8.52 billion in 2023. The settlement amount of $64.8 million is less than 1 percent of its profits last year. That makes a mockery of holding a serial miscreant like Goldman Sachs accountable for putting Apple Credit Card customers through a living hell and destroying people’s credit rating in the process.Credit on the Apple Credit Card was provided by the taxpayer-backstopped, federally-insured commercial bank that Goldman Sachs is allowed to own – despite its checkered past. That commercial bank is known as Goldman Sachs Bank USA. For a snapshot look at how prudently it is managed, consider this: as of June 30 it held $544 billion in assets and $55 trillion in derivatives. (See Table 15 at this link. The derivatives report is provided by a federal banking regulator, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.)The CFPB announced yesterday that Goldman Sachs had engaged in the following abuses in connection with the Apple Credit Card:[When customers complained about erroneous charges,] “the bank failed to consistently send acknowledgment notices within 30 days, conduct reasonable investigations, or send resolution letters explaining the determinations of its investigations within 90 days. These failures led to Goldman Sachs illegally placing damaging information on consumers’ credit reports and holding cardholders responsible for potentially fraudulent or unauthorized purchases.”The CFPB also wrote this:“The marketing of the Apple Card Monthly Installments plan led consumers to believe they would automatically receive interest-free financing when purchasing iPhones and other Apple devices with their Apple Card. The plan allowed cardholders to purchase Apple devices through a series of interest-free payments over a period of six months to two years. However, many cardholders were unknowingly charged interest because they were not automatically enrolled as expected. They also faced confusing checkout options about enrolling in the plan. For online purchases, Apple only presented the payment plan as an option to consumers using Apple’s own Safari browser. Due to Apple and Goldman’s actions, instead of making interest-free payments, thousands of cardholders purchased Apple devices on interest-bearing revolving balances and incurred interest charges.”Wall Street On Parade began reporting on the grotesque manner in which the Apple Credit Card was being handled as early as August 10, 2022. Our first report came one year after J.D. Power had lavished a customer satisfaction award on the Apple Credit Card provided through Goldman Sachs.The J.D. Power Award came in August 2021. We dug through customer complaints in the CFPB’s database for the same month, August 2021, and found the following telltale signs of big problems: (The redacted information has been redacted by the CFPB; typos are in the original.)A customer in California wrote this:“This problem has been ongoing since XXXX, I have had to open multiple disputes through Apple credit card (goldman Sachs) and every time I open disputes, they ALWAYS favor the merchant ( XXXX ) There were multiple unauthorized purchases on my card through XXXX, XXXX helped with most of them besides one order that was {$1400.00}. My credit card issuer Goldman Sachs is saying that the dispute keeps favoring them no matter what evidence I give them. I really want to sue or something, I have no idea what to do now…” (Read the full complaint here.)A customer in Massachusetts told the CFPB this:“My 11 year old computer died and I went online to apple.com to buy a replacement one. Their site advertises that you can get an Apple credit card with 0 % APR for the first 12 months and pay off the computer. When I tried to redeem that offer, their Goldman Sachs website came back and extended a {$2500.00} credit limit, which does not cover the cost of a computer on their site. I called in to get the limit increased to {$3200.00} because I make {$320000.00} a year and have a XXXX credit rating. When I called in, their representative told me the only way to request a credit limit increase to cover the cost of the computer was to accept the credit card offer and open an account. So I did. He told me the next day I had to call back to request a credit increase. There was no other way to get an increase on the application. I have just done that, and despite making a high salary, having zero credit debt and having an excellent credit score, Goldman Sachs / Apple has denied the application and not giving me a reason…” (Read the full complaint here.)A resident of Virginia wrote this:“On XX/XX/21, an unknown charge for {$840.00} was Pending on my Apple Card (Goldman Sachs), I submitted a dispute the same day and was told that, because the charge was still ‘pending’, they would monitor the charge and if the charge posted, the dispute process would start with no further action from me. If the charge did not post, it would just drop off of my account. Since then, I have made dozens of calls and chat sessions with Apple Card Support about this charge that posted to my account on XX/XX/21. On this date, I received a ‘provisional credit’ and exactly one minute later, the provisional credit was reversed. After many phone calls, I finally learned that the dispute that I repeatedly called about had been ruled in the merchant ‘s favor because, they stated, I ‘withdrew my dispute’ — this is a complete falsehood…” (Read the full complaint here.)In 2023, we took another look at the CFPB’s complaint database and found hundreds of cries for help from people being ripped off with the Apple Credit Card, including the following from a resident of Nevada:“Late last year, Apple credit card pulled a hard inquiry on my credit and issued me an Apple credit card. I did not request this credit card, so I contacted XXXX about this matter. Apple credit card closed my account and stated to me that they noted my account was closed because they could not verify that I requested, authorized, or applied for this credit card. I believe this credit card was requested by an XXXX store agent, without my authorization, when I purchased a new iphone. I believe this because the agent signed me up for several other offers that I did not request. These matters have been resolved with XXXX. Regarding the hard inquiry, the XXXX representative told me to contact each credit reporting agency to request that the hard inquiry be removed from my credit report. XXXX will be reporting this account as closed due to unable to verify that I applied for the credit card. Thank you for assisting in the removal of the hard inquiry with each agency.”This Nevada report suggests that salespeople in Apple’s retail stores may have been incentivized to open Apple Credit Card accounts without the customer’s approval. And yet, the CFPB settlement is silent on this issue.None of this egregious behavior by Goldman Sachs and Apple has made its way to the folks at J.D. Power. On August 15 of this year, J.D. Power made the following gasp-worthy announcement:“Apple Card (Goldman Sachs) ranks highest in customer satisfaction among co-brand credit cards with no annual fee, with a score of 654. This is the fourth consecutive year in which Apple Card and issuer Goldman Sachs have collectively earned a segment award….”Goldman Sachs’ history of abusing its customers dates back to the roaring 1920s. During the making of the stock market asset bubble of 1928, Goldman ran the Goldman Sachs Trading Company, a closed end fund known as a “trust” in those days. Goldman Sachs spun it off to the public at $104 a share. The trust was filled with dubious investments while paying Goldman a hefty management fee. Just a few years after the crash of 1929, the Goldman Sachs trust was trading at a buck and change. On May 20, 1932, Walter Sachs, President of the Goldman Sachs Trading Company, was interrogated by the Senate Committee on Banking and Currency. The Committee concluded that Goldman Sachs fleeced its customers to line its own pockets.On April 27, 2010 the U.S. Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations held a hearing and interviewed multiple executives of Goldman Sachs over its role in the subprime crisis and 2008 financial collapse. That hearing was followed by an in-depth report from the Subcommittee. Among the findings were the following regarding Goldman Sachs:“When Goldman Sachs realized the mortgage market was in decline, it took actions to profit from that decline at the expense of its clients. New documents detail how, in 2007, Goldman’s Structured Products Group twice amassed and profited from large net short positions in mortgage related securities. At the same time the firm was betting against the mortgage market as a whole, Goldman assembled and aggressively marketed to its clients poor quality CDOs [Collateralized Debt Obligations] that it actively bet against by taking large short positions in those transactions. New documents and information detail how Goldman recommended four CDOs, Hudson, Anderson, Timberwolf, and Abacus, to its clients without fully disclosing key information about those products, Goldman’s own market views, or its adverse economic interests. For example, in Hudson, Goldman told investors that its interests were ‘aligned’ with theirs when, in fact, Goldman held 100% of the short side of the CDO and had adverse interests to the investors, and described Hudson’s assets were ‘sourced from the Street,’ when in fact, Goldman had selected and priced the assets without any third party involvement. New documents also reveal that, at one point in May 2007, Goldman Sachs unsuccessfully tried to execute a ‘short squeeze’ in the mortgage market so that Goldman could scoop up short positions at artificially depressed prices and profit as the mortgage market declined.”For what Goldman Sachs has been up to more recently, see our reports: Goldman Sachs Criminally Charged by Justice Department – and Its Stock Closes Up $2.49 and Goldman Sachs Is Being Sued for 27 Separate Stock Offerings It Underwrote.To add further insult to injury, while much of the Apple Credit Card hubris was occurring, the CEO of Goldman Sachs, David Solomon, was moonlighting as a D.J. (You can’t make this stuff up.) Solomon still sits at the helm of the company.FacebookTwitterWhatsAppLinkedInEmail

Oops! Warren Buffett left $23 billion on table by trimming Berkshire’s Apple stake
Friday, October 18, 2024 4:07 pm
2 Comments

Warren Buffett’s investment firm, Berkshire Hathaway, substantially reduced its stake in Apple during the first half of 2024. According to regulatory filings, Berkshire has cut its Apple holdings by 55%. This move could have potentially cost the company a significant amount of money, as Apple’s stock price has risen by 10% since the end of the second quarter.

If Berkshire had maintained its previous position in Apple, its stake would be valued at approximately $210 billion at current market prices. This suggests that the company may have missed out on a $23 billion profit opportunity by trimming its Apple holdings.

Matthew Fox for Business Insider:

Calculations by Business Insider suggest Berkshire Hathaway’s sales of Apple stock in the first and second quarters of this year resulted in about $23 billion in missed profits for Warren Buffett’s conglomerate.

Berkshire Hathaway entered 2024 with a massive stake in Apple, holding 905.6 million shares worth about $174 billion at the time.

At current prices, that stake would have been worth about $210 billion. Instead, Berkshire Hathaway’s current stake in Apple was worth $84 billion at the end of the second quarter.

The difference between the weighted average price and the price of Apple stock on Thursday nets out the $23.1 billion in missed profits for Berkshire Hathaway.

MacDailyNews Take: $23 billion is quite the “oops!” And, that’s not even counting lost dividends! But, hey, nobody’s perfect. Own it, don’t trade it, Warren!

President Trump says Apple CEO Tim Cook called to complain about EU’s $17 billion in fines
Thursday, October 17, 2024 2:28 pm
15 Comments

Former U.S. President Donald Trump said on the PBD Podcast posted on Thursday that Apple CEO Tim Cook called him to discuss the $17 billion in fines that Apple has been hit with by the European Union (EU). Trump said that he won’t let the EU “take advantage” of American companies like Apple.

Emma Roth for The Verge:

“Two hours ago, three hours ago, he [Cook] called me,” Trump said. “He said the European Union has just fined us $15 billion… Then on top of that, they got fined by the European Union another $2 billion.” In March, the EU fined Apple around $2 billion after finding that Apple used its dominance to restrict music streaming apps from telling customers about cheaper subscription deals outside the App Store. The EU later won its fight to make Apple pay $14.4 billion in unpaid taxes.

“He [Cook] said something that was interesting,” Trump said. “He said they’re using that to run their enterprise, meaning Europe is their enterprise. “I said, ‘That’s a lot… But Tim, I’ve got to get elected first, but I’m not going to let them take advantage of our companies — that won’t, you know, be happening.’”

The Verge reached out to Apple with a request for comment but didn’t immediately hear back.

MacDailyNews Take: Things that make you go “hmm.” One thing’s for sure, Cook isn’t wrong about the EU:

The European Union arose because the Europeans couldn’t compete on their own with the rest of the world, so they each lined up to surrender their national sovereignty, unique cultures, and dignity for an undemocratic, opaque, wasteful, bloated, bureaucratic quasi-governmental blob – and, even with the EU’s thumbs all over the scale, they still can’t compete. — MacDailyNews, March 4, 2024

Apple (AAPL) Eyes Record Highs After Upbeat China iPhone 16 Sales
By: Schaeffer's Investment Research | October 18, 2024

• Apple's iPhone 16 sales in China jumped by 20% in the first three weeks, per a report

• Apple's market cap is now nearing $3.6 trillion

Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) is a chip-shot from record highs today, last seen up 1.2% to trade at $234.99. The tech titan earlier traded as high as $236.18, after Counterpoint Research reported the new iPhone 16 sales in China jumped 20% in the first three weeks. Apple now has the largest market cap in the world, last seen nearly $3.6 trillion.

AAPL is now up 22% in 2024 and 34% year over year. The shares hit a record high of $237.49 on Oct 15, and corrections in the last few months have found support at a trendline connecting higher highs since the April 19 bottom of $164.07.

A round of overdue price-target hikes could keep the wind at the equity's back. Despite its powerhouse status on Wall Street, the consensus 12-month price target of $239.70 is only a 2% premium from its current perch.

Apple Car Key – digital car keys in the Wallet app – are coming soon to select Volvo, Audi, and Polestar vehicles, based on code changes discovered by MacRumors in Apple’s Wallet app backend.

Eric Slivka for MacRumors:


The car keys function can allow an iPhone or Apple Watch with NFC capabilities to unlock, lock, or start a vehicle through the Wallet app by simply holding the device near a compatible vehicle’s NFC reader. Car key functionality may vary by manufacturer and model.

Apple introduced digital car key support in 2022, and select car brands like BMW, BYD, Hyundai/Genesis/Kia, Lotus, Mercedes-Benz, and RAM have implemented support for the feature?.

$AAPL A breakout above $233 on a weekly close can target $253-270. But a weekly close below last week's low negates the potential set-up
By: Intelligent Investing | October 15, 2024

• $AAPL

Nice potential triangle consolidations on the weekly time frame: It is holding above its weekly SMAs and its Ichimoku Cloud, which is Bullish.

A breakout above $233 on a weekly close can target $253-270. But a weekly close below last week's low negates the potential set-up.

Thus, we now have a trigger and risk/reward profile for a potential trade. That's all we need.

Apple stock added to Evercore’s ‘Tactical Outperform’ list
Monday, October 14, 2024 11:19 am
No Comments

Evercore ISI analyst Amit Daryanani on Sunday added Apple stock to his firm’s “tactical outperform” list, saying the company is “well positioned to outperform against low expectations” for the September quarter and with its guidance for the current quarter. Apple will report fiscal Q424 earnings after the closing bell on October 31st.

Patrick Seitz for Investor’s Business Daily:

Bearish investors are focused on Apple’s challenges in the Chinese smartphone market, where domestic brands like Huawei are gaining ground, he said.

But those concerns are overstated, Daryanani said. Plus, Apple should be able to offset any market share losses in China with growth in developing markets and the U.S., he said.

“The staggered rollout of AI should also result in a stronger-for-longer iPhone upgrade cycle as the release of new features and new geographies should drive strong word-of-mouth advertising,” he said.

Meanwhile, Apple’s wearables and services businesses should provide a boost for the company’s top and bottom lines, he said.

MacDailyNews Note: Evercore rates Apple as “Outperform,” or buy, with a price target of $250.

Today is Columbus Day in the U.S. and, as we spend the day with family and friends, posting will be limited. We will return to our regular posting schedule tomorrow.

With a 6-core CPU — two performance cores and four efficiency cores — A17 Pro delivers a 30 percent boost in CPU performance.1 A17 Pro also brings a boost in graphics performance with a 5-core GPU, delivering a 25 percent jump over the previous generation.1 A17 Pro brings entirely new experiences — including pro apps used by designers, pilots, doctors, and others — and makes it faster than ever for users to edit photos, dive into more immersive AR applications, and more. The new iPad mini brings true-to-life gaming with hardware-accelerated ray tracing — which is 4x faster than software-based ray tracing — as well as support for Dynamic Caching and hardware-accelerated mesh shading. From creating engaging content faster than ever in Affinity Designer, to playing demanding, graphics-intensive AAA games like Zenless Zone Zero, users can take the powerful performance and ultraportable iPad mini anywhere.

Built for Apple Intelligence

With the power of the A17 Pro chip, the new iPad mini delivers support for Apple Intelligence. Deeply integrated into iPadOS 18, Apple Intelligence harnesses the power of Apple silicon and Apple-built generative models to understand and create language and images, take action across apps, and draw from personal context to simplify and accelerate everyday tasks. Many of the models that power Apple Intelligence run entirely on device, and Private Cloud Compute offers the ability to flex and scale computational capacity between on-device processing and larger, server-based models that run on dedicated Apple silicon servers.

The first set of Apple Intelligence features will be available in U.S. English this month through a free software update with iPadOS 18.1, and available for iPad® with A17 Pro or M1 and later. Apple Intelligence delivers experiences that are delightful, intuitive, easy to use, and specially designed to help users do the things that matter most to them:2

With Writing Tools, users can refine their words by rewriting, proofreading, and summarizing text nearly everywhere they write, including Mail, Notes, Pages, and third-party apps.
Siri® becomes more deeply integrated into the system experience and gets a new design with an elegant glowing light that wraps around the edge of the screen when active on iPad. With richer language-understanding capabilities, communicating with Siri is more natural and flexible. Siri can follow along when users stumble over their words, can maintain context from one request to the next, and now, users can type to Siri. Siri also has extensive product knowledge to answer questions about features on iPad and other Apple devices.
In Photos, the Memories feature now enables users to create the movies they want to see by simply typing a description, and with the new Clean Up tool, they can identify and remove distracting objects in the background of a photo — without accidentally altering the subject.
Additional Apple Intelligence features will be rolling out over the next several months:

Image Playground allows users to create playful images in moments.
Image Wand is a new tool in the Apple Pencil® tool palette that can transform a rough sketch into a polished image.
Emoji will be taken to an entirely new level with the ability to create original Genmoji™ by simply typing a description, or by selecting a photo of a friend or family member.
Siri will be able to draw on a user’s personal context to deliver intelligence that is tailored to them. It will also gain onscreen awareness to understand and take action with users’ content, as well as take hundreds of new actions in and across Apple and third-party apps.
With ChatGPT integrated into experiences within iPadOS 18, users have the option to access its expertise, as well as its image- and document-understanding capabilities, within Siri and Writing Tools without needing to jump between tools. And privacy protections are built in so a user’s IP address is obscured, and OpenAI won’t store requests. Users can access ChatGPT for free without creating an account, and ChatGPT’s data-use policies apply for those who choose to connect their account.
Even Faster Connectivity

With faster wireless and wired connectivity, users can do even more on iPad mini while on the go. The new iPad mini supports Wi-Fi 6E, which delivers up to twice the performance than the previous generation,3 so users can download files, play games online, and stream movies even faster. Wi-Fi + Cellular models with 5G allow users to access their files, communicate with peers, and back up their data in a snap while on the go. Cellular models of the new iPad mini are activated with eSIM, a more secure alternative to a physical SIM card, allowing users to quickly connect and transfer their existing plans digitally, and store multiple cellular plans on a single device. Customers can easily get connected to wireless data plans on the new iPad mini in over 190 countries and regions around the world without needing to get a physical SIM card from a local carrier. The USB-C port is now up to 2x faster than the previous generation, with data transfers up to 10Gbps, so importing large photos and videos is even quicker.

Incredible Camera Experience

Great cameras, along with the incredibly portable form factor of iPad mini, enable powerful mobile workflows. The 12MP wide back camera delivers gorgeous photos, and with Smart HDR 4, they will be even more detailed and vivid. Utilizing the powerful 16-core Neural Engine, the new iPad mini uses artificial intelligence (AI) to automatically identify documents right in the Camera app and can use the new True Tone® flash to remove shadows from the document. The 12MP Ultra Wide front-facing camera in portrait orientation, with support for Center Stage™, is great for all the ways customers use iPad mini.

Magical Capabilities with Apple Pencil Pro

Apple Pencil Pro unlocks magical capabilities and powerful interactions, turning iPad mini into a sketchbook users can take anywhere. Apple Pencil Pro can sense a user’s squeeze, bringing up a tool palette to quickly switch tools, line weights, and colors, all without interrupting the creative process. A custom haptic engine delivers a light tap that provides confirmation when users squeeze, double-tap, or snap to a Smart Shape for a remarkably intuitive experience. Users can roll Apple Pencil Pro for precise control of the tool they’re using. Rotating the barrel changes the orientation of shaped pen and brush tools, just like pen and paper, and with Apple Pencil hover, users can visualize the exact orientation of a tool before making a mark. Apple Pencil Pro features support for Find My®, and pairs, charges, and is stored through a new magnetic interface on the new iPad mini. iPad mini also supports Apple Pencil (USB-C), ideal for note taking, sketching, annotating, journaling, and more, at a great value.

iPadOS 18 Brings Powerful and Intelligent New Features

In addition to the groundbreaking capabilities of Apple Intelligence, iPadOS 18 brings powerful features that enhance the iPad experience, making it more versatile and intelligent than ever. iPadOS also has advanced frameworks like Core ML® that make it easy for developers to tap into the Neural Engine to deliver powerful AI features right on device.

Designed for the unique capabilities of iPad, Calculator delivers an entirely new way to use Apple Pencil to solve expressions, as well as basic and scientific calculators with a new history function and unit conversions. With Math Notes, users are now able to type mathematical expressions or write them out to see them instantly solved in handwriting like their own. They can also create and use variables, and add an equation to insert a graph. Users can also access their Math Notes in the Notes app, and use all of the math functionality in any of their other notes.
In the Notes app, handwritten notes become more fluid, flexible, and easy to read with Smart Script and the power of Apple Pencil. Smart Script unleashes powerful new capabilities for users editing handwritten text, allowing them to easily add space, or even paste typed text in their own handwriting. And as users write with Apple Pencil, their handwriting will be automatically refined in real time to be smoother, straighter, and more legible.
With new Audio Recording and Transcription, iPad can capture a lecture or conversation, and transcripts are synced with the audio, so users can search for an exact moment in the recording.
New levels of customization come to iPad, and users have even more options to express themselves through the Home Screen with app icons and widgets that can be placed in any open position. App icons and widgets can take on a new look with a dark or tinted effect, and users can make them appear larger to create the experience that is perfect for them. Control Center has been redesigned to provide easier access to many of the things users do every day, delivering quick access to new groups of a user’s most-utilized controls. Users can even organize new controls from third-party apps in the redesigned Control Center.
The Photos app receives its biggest update ever, bringing users powerful new tools that make it easier to find what they are looking for with a simplified and customizable app layout that takes advantage of the larger display on iPad and helps users browse by themes without having to organize content into albums.
Users have new ways to stay connected and express themselves in Messages, with all-new animated text effects, redesigned Tapbacks, and the ability to schedule messages to send at a later time.
Better for the Environment

The new iPad mini is designed with the environment in mind, including 100 percent recycled aluminum in the enclosure, 100 percent recycled rare earth elements in all magnets, and 100 percent recycled gold plating and tin soldering in multiple printed circuit boards. The new iPad mini meets Apple’s high standards for energy efficiency, and is free of mercury, brominated flame retardants, and PVC. The packaging is 100 percent fiber-based, bringing Apple closer to its goal to remove plastic from all packaging by 2025.

Today, Apple is carbon neutral for global corporate operations and, as part of its ambitious Apple 2030 goal, plans to be carbon neutral across its entire carbon footprint by the end of this decade.
