Four iPhones, one iOS experience—very different daily trade-offs. The 16e is the budget A18 entry with real compromises (single camera, basic Qi charging). The 16 and 16 Plus are the balanced picks with MagSafe/Qi2 and an ultrawide camera. The 16 Pro Max is the creator’s choice with 120Hz, 5x zoom, and faster USB-C.

Apple’s iPhone 17 lineup looks unified from the software side, but the hardware splits into clear personalities: the base iPhone 17 is the balanced pick, the 17 Pro models are the real upgrade for zoom and serious video workflows, the Pro Max is the big-screen “do everything” option, and the 17 Air is the thin,…

Two huge, no-compromise flagships—one tuned for iOS ecosystem polish and creator-friendly video, the other built around a sharper anti-reflective display, faster charging, S Pen + DeX productivity, and more zoom options.

This feasibility study reports numerical modeling and HFSS simulations of a portable meander line antenna intended to deliver repeated electromagnetic field stimulation at 64 MHz for potential Alzheimer's disease treatment. Using two numerical head phantoms, the authors simulated E/H fields and SAR with a 50-W input…

This study developed a mathematical and computer simulation model to analyze RF-EMF exposure in a human head phantom, motivated by potential therapeutic applications. The modeled exposure used a Yagi-Uda antenna at 64 MHz with SAR 0.6 W/kg and compared field distribution using one versus four antennas. COMSOL Bioheat…

This laboratory/analytical study examined how sample matrix affects sample sweeping in micellar electrokinetic chromatography under an inhomogeneous electric field. It reports strong focusing for hydrophobic cationic analytes when the sample matrix conductivity is much higher than the BGE, even with low surfactant…

This engineering/physical chemistry study develops an analytical model and uses computer simulations to describe the electric field in oxide films during thermal metal oxidation. It reports that the electrostatic potential drop across the bulk oxide is often limited to about kBT/e, suggesting most of a larger overall…

This engineering paper presents an intraoral version of the Tongue Drive System (iTDS) built into a dental retainer. It uses four 3-axis magnetoresistive sensors to detect tongue motion and transmits digitized data wirelessly via a dual-band 27/432 MHz transmitter, with configuration updates via a 13.56 MHz inductive…

This engineering study used experiments, computer simulations, and simplified analytical calculations to examine how mashed potato dielectric properties and circulating water electrical conductivity affect RF heating at 27 MHz. The authors report that higher circulating water conductivity and higher salt content in…

This conference paper reports early development of a cell phone-based video streaming system to deliver video reminders for people with early dementia. Carers can record and schedule reminders remotely via a computer and webcam. A first prototype was implemented, with an initial field trial scheduled and a larger…
