A12 and S4 devices now: - use ARM signed pointers for all Apple software - have new physical anti-replay counter circuit in Secure Enclave - mitigate USB DFU hijacking in enclave firmware Nilay Patel / @reckless : It's that time! I reviewed the iPhone XS and XS Max. They're great phones, but I don't think Apple's Smart HDR beats out the Pixel 2's camera. http://www.theverge.com/... http://twitter.com/... Vlad Savov / @vladsavov : My New iPhone review: call me when the camera is good again. http://twitter.com/... Ryan Jones / @rjonesy : Ouch. Summary of reviews: - XS camera is noticeably better than X, still not better than Pixel 2 - Face ID not really better - a little faster, still just headroom - probably wait for XR http://twitter.com/... Nilay Patel / @reckless : This is a good example of Smart HDR on the iPhone XS pulling everything to the same brightness level, reducing contrast and flattening the image. http://twitter.com/... @9to5mac : iPhone XS/Max review roundup: iPhone X owners, don't bother; everyone else, wait for the XR http://9to5mac.com/... by @benlovejoy http://twitter.com/... Nilay Patel / @reckless : One thought I cut from the review: if you have an iPhone X and you're tempted to spend $1,000 on an XS for the updated camera, you should buy something like an RX100 instead. Thomas Ricker / @trixxy : What you really want to know from our iPhone XS review: “And... I think the Pixel 2 still has a better camera than the iPhone XS” http://www.theverge.com/... Dan Seifert / @dcseifert : here's @reckless with a review of the iPhone XS and XS Max. unless you're a dyed in the wool, must buy the absolute most expensive iPhone sold right now person, maybe you should wait for the XR. http://www.theverge.com/...
