A closeup picture of a decal specifying train specs at a Hong Kong MTR subway train platform. The center square, white text on a deep blue background, says C-A5. The Myriad Pro typeface used by the Hong Kong subway is that of the Apple corporate typeface in 2011, the year where the Apple’s dual-core A5 chip was launched. The joke is that the train has the Apple A5 hardware because of the typeface and A5 insignia.

This is a picture of a clear plastic Knick-knack storage box with dividers that creates a 6-by-5 grid for 30 total cells. Inside are real Apple silicon chips that are extracted from iOS devices, each distinct model of chip separated into its own cell. All the X chips use a metal heat spreader that is silvery metal in appearance, while all others are black. Across the top row are all the 32-bit chips: three each of the A4 and A5, two A5X, three A6, and two A6X chips. Rightmost cell of this row left blank because that’s all the 32-but ones Apple makes. The second row are all the pre-Fusion design 64-bit chips: two A7, two A7 with the metal heat spreader just for the iPad Air, two A8, one A8X, one A9, and one A9X. The third row is only half complete, with one of each of A10, A10X, and A11. All these use the Fusion design that divides load between high-performance and high-efficiency cores. The rest of the box remains empty for future chip additions to this box.

Just an image of me holding a Space Gray iPhone 6 Plus on iOS 8
An iPhone 6 Plus in Space Gray held in the hand in landscape mode on the Lock Screen on iOS 8, before sliding to unlock. The home button-equipped Plus models of iPhone has robust support for landscape mode, even a landscape Home Screen view. This feature does not exist for the regular iPhone or the large all-screen iPhones, ie the iPhone XS Max and later. While the other Plus models support unlocking in any orientation, the UI does not rotate, which is also the case here. However, the transitional animation between the Lock and Home Screens, of icons flying in, would be rendered in portrait mode before having the Home Screen rotate, even if the iPhone has been in landscape the whole way. Different in iOS 8, the first iteration of the landscape iPhone Home Screen UI, as the large 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus debuted, featured a rare landscape icon fly-in animation for the transition.

The Lock Screen on an iPhone SE on iOS 9, showing a darkened blur with the notices that “No SIM card is installed,” and “this accessory is not supported by this device.” This is similar in appearance to an iOS 15 Good Morning lock screen, which makes this iOS 9 one look like a cheap imitation
