🤡 A meme that got out of hand: a guy named Sam Sung once worked at Apple

🥸 When he posted a photo of his business card — “Sam Sung, Apple Specialist” — on Reddit, he started getting removed from interactions with customers. For a while, Sam even introduced himself under a different name.

🧑‍⚖️ Eventually, he left the company, changed his last name to Struan, and his business card was sold at a charity auction.

📰 Apple is preparing a new iPad Pro with vapor chamber cooling

👂 According to Bloomberg, the next generation of iPad Pro will feature a vapor chamber cooling system — similar to the one in the iPhone 17 Pro. This will allow the tablet to maintain high performance during heavy workloads such as video editing, 3D modeling, and rendering — making everything run more stable and faster.

💧 How does it work?
A liquid circulates inside the chamber: it evaporates when heated, moves to a cooler area, then condenses back into liquid — effectively carrying heat away from the processor.

📰 Meanwhile:
• Apple is testing ads in Apple Maps (similar to Google Maps).
• The 18" foldable iPad project is currently delayed due to durability issues with the flexible display.
