iFixit tears down the Apple Pencil →

by

What is this—a logic board for ants? Not quite, but weighing in at a whopping 1.0 gram it’s definitely the smallest we’ve ever seen.

This thing has a freaking logic board (with 4 chips on it) inside! Mind blown.

The pencil is clearly not meant to be opened or repaired; you can’t get inside without destroying the device.

Duh. What else did they expect?

While the teardown’s informative and stuff, there is one less Apple Pencil in the world for someone who really wants one urgently. Maybe they could have waited until stock levels become normal.

ExFAT 2: Who pays $1500 for an iPad???

by

Just when you thought we are gone for good, Daniel and I return for the second episode of ExFAT.

We ranted and ranted about the Surface Pro, as well as covered the Nexus phones, the Apple TV (a little bit), and of course the iPad Pro. And Daniel talks about his iPhone repair.

This time round, we kept most of the show in Singlish, since quite a number of people complained about the last show which was mostly in Chinese.

White Marble Snap Case for iPhone 6s+ (made by fabrix)

by

White Marble Case. Made by fabrix.

A photo posted by Ren Jinshen Ryu (@ryuworks) on

made by fabrix sent me one of their White Marble Snap Cases to try out, and like many of their other products, the Marble Snap Case for iPhone 6s+ (their naming) is a sleek, well-made snap-on plastic case with a white marble (there is also a black marble version available) look.

It doesn’t increase the heft of the iPhone 6s Plus by too much (unlike Spigen’s Ultra Hybrid, which I cannot really recommend) making the phablet 6s Plus still feel comfortable while holding it in one hand.

The White and Black Marble Snap Case is retailing for 22 USD at madebyfabrix.com.
