Tags: [edit]

Repair specialist iFixit has conducted its customary teardown of Apple's iPhone 13 Pro, with an initial report highlighting the handset's massive battery, revamped TrueDepth camera and minor tweaks to the phone's internal layout.Like the iPhone 13, and many previous models, iPhone 13 Pro is sealed with adhesive and its display cables are once again disposed on the left side of the chassis. Those cables attach to a stubby logic board that has been shifted up in the case to accommodate an L-shaped battery, a design borrowed from the iPhone 12 Pro Max.The 3,095mAh cell is rated at 11.97 watt-hours with a measured capacity of 12.11Wh, according to iFixit. That compares to a 10.78Wh battery found in last year's iPhone 12 Pro.

iCloud Private Relay flaw leaks users' IP addresses
» ‎ AppleInsider - Frontpage News

Tags: [edit]

A flaw discovered in Apple's new iCloud Private Relay defeats the feature's raison d'etre by exposing a user's IP address when certain conditions are met.As detailed by researcher and developer Sergey Mostsevenko in a blog post this week, a flaw in Private Relay's handling of WebRTC can "leak" a user's real IP address. A proof on concept is available on the FingerprintJS website.Announced at the Worldwide Developers Conference in June, Private Relay promises to prevent third-party tracking of IP addresses, user location and other details by routing internet requests through two separate relays operated by two different entities. Internet connections configured to pass through Private Relay use anonymous IP addresses that map to a user's region but do not reveal their exact location or identity, Apple says.
