Sonny Dickson is an Apple leaker who ruled the rumor-sphere a few years ago.
The young Australian scored scoop after scoop about Apple’s upcoming products, often by posting images of components that appeared to leak from the supply chain.
Dickson’s been relatively quiet for a few years, but still occasionally posts on his X stream.
His latest is a photo of five iPhone 16 dummy models, showing the purported colors of the lineup.
Because these are dummies — not the real thing — the leak is to be taken with a pinch of salt. But how do you like the pink one? Or that new blue colorway — which is a vibrant blue for once?
Also in today’s newsletter:
There’s been a lot of chatter on the socials about the iPhone 15’s battery longevity. Some complain that the battery isn’t as durable as previous models. If you own an iPhone 15, here’s how to check the battery’s cycle count.
In the market for a pair of AirPods Pro? These aren’t the latest model, but they are cheap.
Emergency SOS via satellite just launched in Japan, expanding the service to 15 countries.
The Blue Yeti USB microphone has become a modern classic. It has a curious history, as revealed in today’s featured setup post.

Still need to do some cable management, but this is a huge upgrade to my setup.
I put my M3 MacBook Air on a SVALT dock (heatsink + fan) and thermal throttling is completely gone.
Now when I’m home it basically performs like a MacBook Pro 🔥

One more thing ...
The internet is nothing new. It has been happening for 10 years. Finally, now, the wave is cresting on the general computer user. And I love it. I think the den is far more interesting than the living room. Putting the internet into people's houses is going to be really what the information superhighway is all about, not digital convergence in the set-top box. All that's going to do is put the video rental stores out of business and save me a trip to rent my movie. I'm not very excited about that. I'm not excited about home shopping. I'm very excited about having the internet in my den.
