Apple's Taptic Engine just triggered a $5.72 billion patent verdict

This is a haptics case, not an optics dispute. On September 25, a federal jury in San Diego awarded Taction Technology exactly $5,721,961,750 after finding that Apple's Taptic Engine infringed three claims across two Taction patents. The number is enormous; its legal status requires more precision. Apple disputes both infringement and the damages and says it will appeal. For now, this is a $5.72 billion jury verdict, not $5.72 billion safely deposited in Taction's account.

Oppo fits 6,700mAh and a 200MP camera into the 6.32-inch Reno16t

Large specifications apparently no longer require an almost seven-inch phone. Oppo's newly launched Reno16t combines a 6.32-inch AMOLED display, 6,700mAh battery and 200MP main camera in a chassis that stays at or below 191 grams depending on the finish. At CNY 3,699 for 12GB plus 256GB, it also looks remarkably similar to the existing Chinese Reno16 — enough that its commercial positioning is nearly as interesting as the hardware.
