The iPhone 15 finally gets a USB-C port, something many have been waiting for. But after the start of sales, it became clear that everything with this function is very ambiguous. So, as it turned out, not all cables from famous brands are compatible with the iPhone 15, and now official Apple stores in China have even begun to dissuade users from using cables for Android smartphones with the iPhone 15.

The first such store was the Apple Store in Foshan (Guangdong Province), but now users report that they have begun to receive similar recommendations from other stores. Points of sale believe that using third-party cables may cause overheating. This is due to the peculiarities of the location of the contacts.

Such recommendations caused a flurry of criticism against official Apple stores. Firstly, many have already been able to verify the compatibility of their brand new iPhone 15 with third-party cables. Secondly, there is an opinion that in this way Apple persuades users to purchase original cables, which are much more expensive than third-party ones.

Xiaomi announced changes in the work schedule on new versions of MIUI firmware for quite a large number of its smartphones.

Work on new beta versions of MIUI for Xiaomi 11, Xiaomi 11 Pro, Xiaomi 11 Ultra, Redmi K40S, Redmi Note 11T Pro and Redmi Note 11T Pro+ has completely stopped since September 22. This does not mean that the firmware of user smartphones will not be updated, but new functions will no longer be introduced into them. In about a year, software support for these models will end.

Also from today, Xiaomi has stopped working on beta versions of MIUI for the latest Xiaomi 13 Ultra, Xiaomi 13 Pro, Xiaomi 13, Xiaomi MIX Fold 3, Xiaomi MIX Fold 2, Redmi K60 Pro and Redmi K60, but this is a temporary phenomenon: work will resume after transferring current beta versions to Android 14.

Billionaire Elon Musk said long-form posts on Platform X (Twitter) now have 3 billion views per day. In the next message, the richest man in the world said that this number corresponds to the number of views of all newspaper articles on Earth.

Twitter Blue subscribers already have the ability to post messages of 10,000 characters, far exceeding the 280 character limit for non-Blue subscribers.

According to an old tweet from Musk, with this feature users can publish “very long, complex articles” and even “publish a book if they want.”

This move could help deter other writers who want more exposure for articles that would otherwise be posted on their blogs or perhaps on competing X sites.

Elon Musk said this week that social network X/Twitter is “moving to a low monthly fee” to combat “huge armies of bots.”

Musk bought the platform for $44 billion last October and has made several changes since then.
