Mercenary spyware attacks target iPhone users in 92 countries
Apple is warning iPhone users across 92 countries of sophisticated "mercenary spyware attacks" that could compromise their devices. The company urges targeted individuals to take the threat seriously. These attacks are often state-sponsored and target journalists, activists, and other high-profile individuals.
Apple recommends several steps to combat these attacks: enable Lockdown Mode, update all devices with the latest software, and seek expert help (like the Digital Security Helpline). Mercenary spyware is expensive and complex, so Apple is actively working to detect and prevent these threats.
If you believe you've been targeted, Apple will send notifications via email, iMessage, and the Apple ID portal. Take these warnings seriously and follow the recommended security steps to protect your device and information.

Sony Xperia 1 VI Renders
Source
Sony will introduce the Xperia 6 series likely next month in May.
It will feature the same old ancient design once again which has been continuing for years now with the same style triple rear camera module
The 3.5mm Headphone Jack will be retained alongside the dedicated camera app shutter button on the sides of the smartphone
Xperia 1 VI will have a 6.5-inch OLED Display but Xperia 1 VI will be a bit shorter and wider than Xperia 1 V
The dimensions of the smartphone are 161.9 x 74.5 x 8.4mm, but the aspect ratio has been changed from 21:9 to around 19:5:9, similar to the aspect ratio of Galaxy S24 Ultra
The BAD news is that Sony will ditch the 4K Display with the Xperia 1 VI & will switch to a 2K Display.
Xperia 1 VI cameras will consist of a 48MP Exmor T unknown sensor main camera with ZEISS T* coating alongside UltraWide camera & a 48MP 1/2.7″ periscope telephoto sensor capable of 3x optical zoom and up to 6x zoom via sensor crop.
