(Sina Tech) According to feedback from multiple people on overseas forums and Xiaohongshu, the Apple iPhone Duo screen has some problems, and many people encountered cracked lines right out of the box.

Compiled photos show that almost all failures are concentrated directly above the hinge, with most appearing as a bright pixel line on one side of the screen.

An Australian user said that about 6 hours after receiving the device and after fewer than 20 folds and unfolds, while showing it unfolded to a friend, he first felt something unusual below the inner hinge, then heard a clear snap, and the screen immediately cracked along the hinge. There were no dents or pinch marks on the inner screen surface or the outer hinge. After he went to an Apple Store, Apple directly replaced the faulty device for him.

CAICT report: large model prices have rebounded significantly

(Pengpai Technology) On October 23, the Institute of Artificial Intelligence of the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, the Key Laboratory of Artificial Intelligence Large Models and Software and Hardware Evaluation of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the China Artificial Intelligence Industry Development Alliance jointly released the "Large Model Token Service Performance Monitoring Report (2026)" (hereinafter referred to as the report).

The report shows that token services are showing a trend of rising volume and price, with domestic token prices doubling compared with the second half of last year, while volume growth reached 3 times. In June 2026, domestic average daily token consumption was about 500 trillion, nearly 4 times that of December 2025.

After the price war of the past two years, model service prices at home and abroad rose significantly in 2026: the normalized average price (note: converting different pricing methods of various companies to the same unified basis so that prices can be compared horizontally) rose from 6.8 yuan in the second half of 2025 to 13.46 yuan this year, an increase of nearly one fold; however, foreign prices are still significantly higher than domestic ones, and the average normalized price of typical models released since 2026 is about 117.8 yuan.

: No matter how expensive, it is still not as expensive as abroad.

Google illegally cut down 250,000 trees to build data centers

(Sina Finance) In early October, Finnish regulators ordered Google's data center developer Tuike Finland Oy to immediately stop illegal forest logging.

To build data centers, Google cut down about 526 hectares of forest, and 250,000 trees became casualties. The incident quickly attracted attention and further intensified European society's dissatisfaction with the data center construction boom.

On the 22nd local time, the latest disclosure by the British newspaper The Guardian showed that the primitive boreal coniferous forest cut down by Google had become wasteland full of dirt and tree stumps, and wild animals that lost their habitats were forced to move away.
