Twitter Blue subnoscription new plans
Elon Musk will be demanding $11 (roughly Rs 900) from iOS users
On the other hand, if the same user makes the payment via the company's own website, they will be charged just $7 (roughly Rs 580).
This was the only route for Musk to avoid Apple's mighty 30% tax on payments for Twitter Blue subnoscriptions without risking a ban. So blame Apple for increased cost instead of Twitter

Apple introduces advanced data protection & improves 2FA
Source
Apple has announced an expansion of its end-to-end encryption for iCloud services with its new Advanced Data Protection initiative. The new services and data types now protected by end-to-end encryption include device backups, messages backups, iCloud Drive, Notes, Photos, Reminders, Safari bookmarks, Siri Shortcuts, Voice Memos, and Wallet Passes. Apple says the only major categories not covered are iCloud Mail, Contacts, and Calendar, due to the need to interoperate with global email, contacts, and calendar systems.
Once enabled, the feature ensures that only trusted Apple devices can decrypt the data, protecting it even in the event of a data breach. Apple itself will not hold the keys to decrypt the data, and users who lose access to their devices can only regain access using a recovery key or recovery contact.
Apple is also improving its two-factor authentication support by allowing users to secure their accounts with hardware keys. Security Keys strengthens Apple’s two-factor authentication by requiring a hardware security key as one of the two factors, preventing advanced attackers from obtaining a user’s second factor in a phishing scam.
Additionally, Apple is improving iMessage security with iMessage Contact Key Verification, which can alert users if state-sponsored bad actors are snooping on their chats.

Carl Pei reveals how much they earn from the Nothing Phone 1
Source
The Nothing Phone 1 packs features like a 120Hz AMOLED display, wireless charging, glowing LED light design and others.
Carl Pei says Nothing Phone (1)’s manufacturing cost is $360 (about Rs 29,300)
With the Nothing Phone (1) launch price in India being Rs 32,999 ($405) and international price being about $450, Pei says that there’s a mere $88 margin ($449-$360).
The margin covers the price of logistics and shares some with partner channels like Amazon, network carriers, etc. Removing all the expenses, the company’s top executive claims the profit is ‘ZERO’.
Carl Pei says that the brand is okay with very little margin considering it is still a startup and sees the Phone (1) as a “ticket to the show”.
As for the Nothing Phone (2), it isn't launching anytime soon
