Key quote: „Terraform says its system converts clean electricity into hydrogen at less than $2.50 per kilogram of H2 (currently, green hydrogen ranges from $5-11 per kilogram, Handmer estimated).”

[Exclusive] Apple iPhone SE 4 CAD renders suggest new design, similar to iPhone 14
https://www.91mobiles.com/hub/exclusive-apple-iphone-se-4-cad-renders-new-design/
———
As a CAD engineer, I can say that such a „render” can be done in about 5 minutes, so I do not expect it to be a real leak 😉 However, I would not be surprised if this render was real, because larger case manufacturers must get 3D models in advance to make products for a new lineup 🤔
