iPhone 17 Pro Max to Feature Thinner Circuit Boards with RCC for Extended Battery Life

iPhones are not expected to adopt resin coated copper (RCC) foil for their circuit boards until 2025, according to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. The delay is due to concerns over the material's fragility and inability to pass drop tests. If improvements are made by Apple's supplier Ajinomoto, the high-end iPhone 17 models could potentially use RCC in 2024. RCC has the potential to slim down circuit boards, creating more space for larger batteries or other technology, and simplifies the manufacturing process.

Unraveling the Enigma of a Soviet-Era Computer.

A Robotron CM1910, a Soviet-era computer built in East Germany, has been discovered to have a non-standard design with densely-packed circuit boards and wiring, a massive weight of 25 kg, and hidden peripheral and drive controllers in questionable locations. Although it includes an Intel 8086 processor, it would take a massive effort to get the machine up and running again due to its non-standard construction, and might require help from builds like this to replace or emulate some of the hardware.
