Q: Is the claim that $\mathsf{Rel}$ (the class of set-theoretic relations) is a category false? I am reading notes on categorical logic by Awodey and Bauer. This is one of its beginner exercises:

I claim that this is not a category. Let us consider some $R \subseteq A \times B$, which has as its domain $A' \subset A$ and its codomain $B' \subset B$. Then, $R \subseteq A' \times B'$, which means that $R : A \to B$ and $R : A' \to B'$. This violates the following axiom of category theory, namely that morphisms have a unique domain and codomain:

Hence, $\mathsf{Rel}$ is not a category.
Am I correct? Thank you for your input! :)

A: You are not correct.
Your thought is analogous to the thought:

Let $f:\Bbb R\to\Bbb R$ be some nonsurjective function and $g:\Bbb R\to\Bbb R$ any other function. Say, $f(x)=2x^2$ and $g(x)=-x$.
But since $f$ is really just a function $\Bbb R\to[0,\infty)$, $f$ doesn't really have a uniquely determined codomain! And because $[0,\infty)\neq\Bbb R$, the composite $g\circ f$ can't exist!

But technically speaking when we restrict domains and codomains we are actually talking about different functions: it is an (common) abuse of notation to keep "$f$" for both the functions $\Bbb R\to[0,\infty)$ and $\Bbb R\to\Bbb R$, even if they are morally essentially the same thing.
Back to categories. Yes, $R\subseteq A'\times B'$ is true. Yes, there would then be a related arrow $R':A'\to B'$. You would even get a commutative diagram: $$\begin{align}&A'\overset{R'}{\longrightarrow}&B'\\&\downarrow&\downarrow\\&A\overset{R}{\longrightarrow}&B\end{align}$$
In $\mathsf{Rel}$. But $R'$ is not the same thing as the arrow $R$. The arrow $R$ and the relation $R$ are not the same thing, so it is even an abuse of notation to call them both by the same name. While a relation $R$ might not have a well-defined domain or codomain in the sense that any relation can fit as a subset of a larger set, the data of the arrow is not the same as the data of $R$, the data of the arrow incorporates $A,B$ also.
This leads to the thorny question of how we should actually encode the data of categories on a set-theoretic level. That's not a question I'm qualified to answer, and there are many different viewpoints and common methods. It is very often I see in category theoretic texts the following line: "By passing to a higher universe, ..." and the moral of that story (for me) is, for most people's intents and purposes, it really doesn't matter how the data is encoded. Just get on with things and do category theory!

[INTERVIEW] Decentralized ID to ensure personal data autonomy
DID Alliance Korea Chairman Kim Yeong-rin Courtesy of DID Alliance Korea
DID Alliance Korea seeks to lead global self-sovereign identity industry
By Lee Kyung-min
The Decentralized Identity (DID) Alliance Korea, an open industry association created to develop a standardized, interoperable framework for decentralized identity services, will seek to become a global leader in the budding industry with much growth potential, the alliance head said Monday.
A fully operational DID system would mean a Korean national, for example, could pass through immigration services in the U.S. via DID and use financial services there without any difficulty.
This would be possible as the person's personal information including passport number and bank and credit records would be stored in the DID system, ready to be reviewed for clearance by the immigration and financial authorities there.
The organization's continued effort, the head said, will enable Korea to have a greater say in setting global DID standards, facilitating the global expansion of not only local companies but also domestic technologies.
"It's similar to how Korea's Taekwondo became a full medal Olympic sport," DID Alliance Korea Chairman Kim Yeong-rin said in a recent interview with The Korea Times.
"The International Olympic Committee (IOC) had a Korean vice president and the country's martial art was adopted as an official Olympic sport. Korea needs to lead the global discussion on the decentralized ID fully backed by its competitive IT technologies, prompting other nations to follow our lead in the development and implementation of the necessary systems."
The vision comes amid the growing importance of "self-sovereign identity," an industry term referring to a new form of identification which, through a layer of technologies, enables individuals and organizations to assert their own identity.
This is different from existing identity certification processes which require the help of intermediaries including government-certified or public entities that manage personal data.
"Personal identities are currency," said the former head of Financial Security Institute (FSI) who also served a deputy governor at Financial Supervisory Service (FSS). Kim also worked at the Bank of Korea (BOK).
The new way of characterizing what largely remain under the "care" of state-run, or financial services firms follows a series of data leaks at major such organizations over the past years.
Mass data leaks at card firms in 2013, for example, put the issue front and center, prompting calls for personal data to be managed and controlled by individuals, not centralized institutions known for their high vulnerability with little accountability.
The Seoul High Court upheld a lower court's ruling that fined KB Kookmin, NongHyup cards 15 million won ($12,000) each and Lotte Card 10 million won, March 3. The Supreme Court is reviewing the case.
The ruling came about five years after the three firms were indicted for failing to supervise workers who handed over to an outside IT contract worker a combined 100 million unencrypted user data. Some of them sold the data to loan sharks.
"Crimes like this will no longer be possible if DID services are implemented."
Escalating the calls are global moves seeking to strengthen protection of personal data and to recognize them as personal assets, grounds to bolstering individual autonomy of what is rightly the bearers.
"A decentralized ID increases transparency management efficiency of data," Kim said.
Also to be helped by the DID initiative are about 13 percent of the global population currently without an identity.
According to 2018 World Bank Group data, an estimated one billion people around the globe face challenges in proving who they are.
"They are denied basic services such as finance and mobile connections, not to mention the high and untraceable risk of them falling victim to human trafficking. A global implementation of the DID will help solve the human rights crisis around the world."
The DID Alliance Korea is a Seoul office of the DID Alliance, a global foundation set up by IT firm Raon Secure CEO Lee Soon-hyung and Ramesh Kesanupalli in San Francisco, U.S., in 2019.
The DID Alliance has 62 members including Korea Financial Telecommunications & Clearings Institute (KFTC), LG CNS, NH NongHyup Bank, Samsung SDS, Samsung Card, Shinhan Bank, KB Kookmin Bank.
Kesanupalli is the founder of the Fast IDentity Online (FIDO), an open industry association launched in February 2013 to develop and promote authentication standards that help reduce the world's over-reliance on passwords.
Business model viability
The organization is set to make a test case of the firm's marketability in July, five months after the successful operation of OmniOne Network, a blockchain-based intranet needed to make the DID service function.
At the Seoul headquarters of Raon Secure, where OmniOne Network was showcased, Feb. 6, Kim said the main version of the network will be launched in July, following trial operation reviews with participating firms.
"Based on our Global Association for Digital Identity (GADI) initiative, we will connect human identity with digital identity. This will not only help solve data breach issues but also give an ID to those yet to have one around the world."
The confidence stems due in a large part from a number of test-proven cases that brightens the organization's business operability.
Its DID system was implemented by the Military Manpower Administration (MMA) and KFTC, a success much lauded for removing administrative inefficiency and bolstering user convenience.
One of two key technologies in place to help efficient operation was those developed by FIDO Alliance, and the other was OmniOne Network whose blockchain-based functions not only improved the system credibility but also fundamentally removed the possibility of dispute over record alterations or any other claimed failures of draft notice delivery.
The key characteristics of blockchain-based system are resistance to data modification, meaning data recorded on "the digital ledger" cannot be easily altered retroactively, which helps ensure accountability.
The number of the DID system users on the MMA website topped 8,500 over the past month, a notable feat given the official launch was only in late January. The service was used over 52,000 times.
The number is expected to soar, given the over 1.65 million could-be drafted manpower are highly likely to choose online services over time-consuming in-person visits to local district offices and MMA offices.
"We identified problems and set up a system with a solution function applied. Our efforts were well received by the users and this helps us stay motivated to be better at what we do and be more efficient," Kim said.

Boston Marathon bombers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on April 15, 2013. (FBI photo)
Former Boston Chief on Preparing for Next Terror Attack: Get 'Ready to Be Overwhelmed'
April 26, 2019 Bridget Johnson
The Boston Marathon bombing underscored that training to prevent and respond to the next terror attack needs to be dynamic, inclusive and "constantly evolving" to keep up with the changing tactics of evildoers, said Boston's former police chief.
Daniel Linskey, who retired in 2014 after serving 27 years on the force, told the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments' Complex Coordinated Attack Symposium on Tuesday that the first attack of its kind — the 2008 Mumbai attacks, with multiple assailants utilizing bombs and guns at different targets — left him "kind of shocked at how ill-prepared we were" and made him urgently deploy assets to protect critical infrastructure, writing the "protection of Boston on a hotel notepad in New York … we had never thought of a plan."
"The terrorists were not going to do one-offs," he said of the complex coordinated attack model. "They were going to try to attack multiple cities."
Linskey, now a managing director in Kroll's Security Risk Management practice, asked the audience of first responders, public safety leaders and emergency management personnel if, after the coordinated bombings targeting churches and hotels in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday, they immediately thought about what they needed to do to protect houses of worship in their own jurisdictions.
Preparedness involves thinking outside the box to determine what the terrorists might do next. "We need to match their evil geniuses with our own evil geniuses," he said. That especially means designing training around what our geniuses on the front lines, such as hazmat response teams, are experiencing and training together instead of operating in silos.
"We have to be ready for them and we have to be ready to be overwhelmed," Linskey stressed. "Train the way you fight and fight the way you train."
Intensive post-Mumbai training "absolutely saved lives on Boylston Street" on April 15, 2013.
As he was every year, Linskey was at the marathon that morning, looking for bombs — which were feared and taken "very seriously" as a threat long before Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev turned pressure cookers into deadly weapons — and checking to ensure that security was on the ball. The bombs weren't expected, though, nearly three hours after the winner of the race had passed the finish line, with thousands of runners still laboring to reach the end.
"I got it completely wrong when they would hit us," the former chief said, noting that he hoped the first explosion had been a transformer "but I had a feeling we'd been hit."
Fortunately, "if you get hit you're not in this alone" as mutual aid comes rushing to the scene from all corners. But with every cop and deputy in the area converging on the crime scene, the response can quickly spin out of control. As media also descended on the scene, police had to deal with runners still on the course and lots of bags for bomb techs to inspect.
Three people were killed in the two blasts: Krystle Campbell, 29, of Medford, Mass., Lu Lingzi, 23, from China and studying at Boston University, and Martin Richard, 8, of Boston. MIT Police Officer Sean Collier, 27, was ambushed and killed three days later, and Boston Police Officer Dennis Simmonds, 28, died a year later as the result of head trauma suffered when fleeing bombers threw an explosive device his way on April 19.
"I'm trying to comprehend what I'm seeing, and a wave of shame and guilt washed over me because I missed that guy…. I failed that family," Linskey said, recalling of Martin how the Tsarnaev brothers "annihilated that baby — they destroyed him while on my watch, in my care."
"Anyone who said he was manipulated by his brother and didn't know what he was doing – he could have picked one of my cops; he picked an 8-year-old boy," he said of where Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, now on death row, set the bomb.
There wasn't tension at the top level between agencies, Linskey recalled, as they launched a unified mission to get the bombers — "it's about trusting each other, training with each other" — in the massive manhunt that ended in Watertown. On April 19, Tamerlan Tsarnaev was shot by police; Linskey remembers telling the bomber "he was going to burn in hell" as he was loaded into the ambulance. The 26-year-0ld died on the way to the hospital, and "I'm pretty sure my prediction came true."
Telling the Richard family that police got the bombers was the "most transformative moment of my entire life," the chief recalled.
Throughout the ordeal, prior relationships forged through comprehensive training proved critical to keeping agencies operating as a team. Fire and EMS were alongside police and getting the same intel as the cops. Authorities had to work through the challenge of social media: using the medium to glean tips and get information to the public while at the same time weeding through sometimes erroneous information. It was "good and bad news" that a "ton of information" flowed in and out of the investigation: "You want to give information to make people comfortable, but you have to make sure it's real."
Those charged with preparing for an attack "need to have discussions about the next challenge — could someone use fire as a terrorist attack? No one thought about an elevated position until Dallas, and then Las Vegas," Linskey noted, adding that the vehicle ramming threat needs to be considered during everyday neighborhood events such as marches and parades that were perhaps not previously seen as a likely attack venue.
A plan to deal with complex coordinated attacks is "not a plan — it's a planning process that's constantly evolving," he stressed.
Cogs in the interdiction and emergency response machine all have their specific roles, "but then you need to train them working together," Linskey said. "Starting to cross-pollinate each other is something we should be doing… It's about building a team to plan, not building a perfect plan."

Have 2 questions hope anyone can answer.
1. Im wondering if anyone know if its possible to build NLJD by using hackrf , what i know so far is it uses harmonic radar to detect electronics by transmitting highpower uhf 1-3.6 GHZ to specific nearfiled area... Since hackrf can transmitt up to 6ghz it should be possible or does it need to be fullduplex? Anyone who undertand this better know if this is possible by building 2 antennas and mount them above the hackrf and place it on a stick and connect to phone/lamptop to see reactions?
2. I have seen very intresting software used for sweeping for hidden rf-gsm bugs used for Delta x 100 which is quite expensive buts its software seems to be very good... is it possible to modify driver files to get it work with hackrf?

Since both go back to Back the early 70's, when we didn't have that many electronic devices, I wonder how well such a device will operate in todays envrionment.
From what I understand you require sufficient radiated power to get pn junctions to generate harmonics that can be received by the attached receiver. The second source claims only a few feet of distance, so it cannot be called a RADAR since RADAR is Ranging and detection, RADAR requires a high gain narrow beamwidth antenna and operates receiving reflections on the Targets illuminated by the transmitter. RADAR operate in the >10 KW to 8 MW frequency Range.
You'd need an antenna that allows wideband operation of such a transmitter and receiver combination to detect the spurios leackage a device.
Without a liscense to radiate the signals you will interfere the primary user in frequency bands and will be in serious trouble.
Thanks for detalied info.. i will check out the links.. Well since i hard about hackrf and seen lots of vidoes of moss i really like the idea he created hackrf and also portapack, it seems it has no limits if one can learn to understand and also program.. Mostly is for curiousnes not for i need a nljd but it seems very intresting. Even today agencys use NLJD uppgraded, i think back in 70.s it was 800mhz devices now its 3-6 ghz, and still they all need same law of power to transmitt/emitt power.


Twenty years ago, Phillip Lim was a talented up-and-comer, designing clothes for the label Development out a downtown L.A. studio where the door was secured with a padlock and the streets were virtually uninhabited. With no restaurants nearby, Lim used to drive over to Zip Sushi, an Izakaya spot five minutes away in the Arts District, for meetings. Today his former workspace is the site of the perpetually bustling restaurant Bestia, and the onetime location of Zip Sushi is on the same block as the 3.1 Phillip Lim concept store, which opened in May 2017.
For Lim, a first generation Chinese American raised in Orange County but now based in New York, the Arts District flagship does not constitute a full circle return, exactly, but more of an elliptical orbit, as both the designer and the neighborhood have taken their own unique evolutionary courses. When Lim and his business partner, Wen Zhou, launched the company in 2004 (both were 31 at the time—hence the 3.1 in the name), they grew quickly, opening stores in cities around the world, including Tokyo and New York and a sleek boutique on Robertson Boulevard in West Hollywood, which closed in December 2016 in anticipation of the new retail space. While the Arts District is seeing tremendous growth right now, including a number of massive complexes going up around the periphery, its central core still has a secluded, strollable vibe that seems to be more about food and coffee and taking in some art than shopping.
The 3.1 Phillip Lim Fall 2018 men's and women's collections explore these themes further. Designed with a "global nomad" in mind, the clothes are colorful, versatile, comfortable, and—importantly for that particular wearer—packable. The men's collection emphasizes outerwear: down parkas and dusters; industrial denim and wool jackets; windbreakers and an array of cropped trousers. The women's collection is more romantic. Cozy sweaters are worn over long ruffled skirts and wide-legged pants; long, slinky knit dresses in luscious colors are wrapped with scarves or layered with unstructured jackets and swishy coats. Several dresses look like pieced-together silk scarves, and a group of patchworked skirts and dresses was inspired by the pillows and textiles Lim's mother used to piece together from fabrics she found in the dollar bin.

Creating a sustainable and accountable democratic system in Nigeria
I AM very worried about the state of Nigeria's democracy. Not because I think that we have witnessed anything unusual in our 2019 elections, but because we think it is unusual. We seem to think that our democratic process took a step back during this political process.
It didn't. It has always been this way. All we have seen is the exploitation of the same flaws that have existed for a very long time, and which ultimately have the potential to create such division, that our integrity as a nation is under threat.
For a young, and immature democracy, and that is what we remain, there is a certain expectation that the system will have flaws. That it will be imperfect. But the requirement for the population to continue to believe in that system is that it shows progress towards a better, more inclusive, more representative solution to our democratic needs.
To understand the trajectory of this problem, we just need to look at voter turnout in our presidential and then gubernatorial elections. In 2015, voter- turnout at the national level, as a percentage of registered voters, was around 40 per cent. I think 69 million registered voters resulted in approximately 30 million votes. In 2019, with registered voters up to over 80 million, we saw fewer votes.
We shouldn't have a repeat of 2019 elections – Jonathan(Opens in a new browser tab)
As a simple metric, when more people have the ability to vote, and less do, there is something wrong with the system. Less people have belief in its integrity, less people believe that if they vote it will change anything; more people feel that voting puts them at risk and so we end up with a government that is elected by a smaller and smaller percentage of the population. Continuing that journey only has one result: Government by the few over the many.

Despite the disappointing trajectory, I do not believe that all is lost. There are solutions to these problems, which with proper leadership can be implemented quickly. I want to talk about four key areas of intervention that can put us on the right track, and I hope that this triggers some debate. I am not taking a partisan position. These views are expressed with no agenda beyond the desire to see that some of the fundamental building blocks our nation needs to thrive, are built.
The starting point, and the focus of this article, is a clear understanding of the numbers, and that starts at the very basic question about our population, its size, its growth rate and its geographic diversity. We must know how many people live in Nigeria, where they live and some basic information about them. You cannot operate an independent, transparent and accountable political system without this. I will present some views on how to solve this later on.
The second intervention is the depth of political, and broader, education of our people. The manipulation of elections is only possible because the population allows it. Whether you are a hired thug, a vote seller, a compromised agent, a greedy INEC official or an intimidated activist, your complicity in a broken system starts from a lack of understanding, and is extenuated by a lack of belief in its integrity. Which brings me to the third intervention? We must take action to reform the structure, number and governance of our political parties. They must be accountable and the rules that govern them must be enforced.
Finally, we must make some changes to the voting system that we use. I don't think it is possible for any truly independent commentator to look at how the elections were conducted and claim that the system works. It absolutely does not. It remains hugely susceptible to manipulation. By both sides. But some simple reforms, the more nuanced use of technology, and a voters database that reflects the actual population would dramatically enhance the integrity of the process.
I will interrogate each of these themes in individual articles over the coming weeks, and I want to reiterate that this process is one of reflection. It has no political bias. I have spent nearly five decades in pursuit of a system that can empower Nigeria to achieve its potential.
I have seen and understand many of our mistakes. I know the flaws that exist that politicians retain, in order to exploit, and I believe that failing to address them means that the ethnic, religious, demographic and kleptocratic drivers that seek to exploit division, will remain in the ascendancy, with dire consequences.
I believe that they can be countered. That investments in education, political institutions, data and technology are the solution and that with the appropriate political will can be achieved quickly.


Congleton is a town and civil parish in the unitary authority of Cheshire East and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England, on the banks of the River Dane, to the west of the Macclesfield Canal and 21 miles south of Manchester. It has a population of 25,750.
The town is close to the Jodrell Bank Observatory, which is a proposed World Heritage Site.
The first settlements in the Congleton area were Neolithic. Stone Age and Bronze Age artefacts have been found in the town. Congleton was once thought to have been a Roman settlement, although there is no archaeological or documentary evidence to support this. Congleton became the local market town after Vikings destroyed nearby Davenport.
Godwin, Earl of Wessex held the town during the Saxon period. The town is mentioned in the Domesday Book, where it is listed as Cogeltone: Bigot de Loges. William the Conqueror granted the whole of Cheshire to his nephew the Earl of Chester. In the 13th Century, Congleton belonged to the de Lacy family. Henry de Lacy, 3rd Earl of Lincoln granted the town its first charter in 1272, enabling it to hold fairs and markets, elect a mayor and ale taster, have a merchant guild and behead known criminals.
In 1451, the River Dane flooded, destroying a number of buildings, the town's mill and wooden bridge. The river was diverted away from the town, and the town centre was rebuilt on higher ground.
They sold the Bible to buy a bear.
This legend earned Congleton the nickname 'Beartown'.
King Edward I granted permission to build a mill. Congleton became an important centre of textile production, especially lace and leather gloves and lace. Congleton had an early Silk throwing mill, the Old Mill built by John Clayton and Nathaniel Pattison in 1753.
The neighbouring village of Buglawton was incorporated into Congleton borough in 1936. From 1974 to 2009, Congleton borough covered much of south-east Cheshire. Following the abolition of Cheshire County Council on 1 April 2009, Congleton is now administered by the unitary authority of Cheshire East. The town has an elected Town Council which was established in 1980.
Congleton's main landmark, a high outcrop of rocks known as The Cloud, overlooks the Cheshire Plain. The Cloud Project in Congleton is a daily photographic record of The Cloud over a period of one year and also of Cloudside, Dane in Shaw, The Macclesfield Canal and surrounding areas. The Cloud is also the setting for the climax of the supernatural novel A Haunted Man by Stuart Neild, where the novel's hero, ghosthunter Boag-Munroe, is involved in a fight to the death.
The town of Congleton is broken up by the Congleton townspeople into seven main areas. These are Buglawton, otherwise known as "Bug Town"; the Bromley Farm estate, otherwise known as "Tin Town" due to the number of tin RSJs built there; Mossley, which is sometimes classed as the wealthier part of town; Hightown, which is located before Mosley between town and the train station; West Heath, which is a relatively new estate built in the late 1970s to the early 1980s; Lower Heath to the north of the town; and finally the town centre.
The principal industries in Congleton include the manufacture of airbags and golf-balls. There are light engineering factories near the town, and sand extraction occurs on the Cheshire Plain, although much of the town is now a dormitory for Manchester and Stoke-on-Trent.
Congleton Market operates every Tuesday and Saturday from the Bridestones Centre. There are 11 indoor stalls and 84 outdoor stalls.
The National Trust Tudor house Little Moreton Hall, lies to the south of the town.
Congleton Museum is on Market Square in the centre of town. It was established in 2002 and is dedicated to Congleton's industrial history, and contains an ancient log boat and gold and silver coin hoards. Congleton Tourist Information Centre is on the town's High Street.
The independently-run 300 seat Daneside Theatre is on Park Road in the town. The 400-seat Clonter Opera Theatre is based in the village of Swettenham Heath, 5 miles north of Congleton.
Congleton Park is located along the banks of the River Dane just north east of the town centre. Town Wood on the northern edge of the park is a Grade A Site of Biological Interest and contains many nationally important plants. Congleton paddling pool was built in the 1930s and is open in the summer months. Astbury Mere Country Park lies just to the south west of the town centre, on the site of a former sand quarry. The lake is used for fishing and sailing and despite its name, is actually in the West Heath area of Congleton, with the boundary between Congleton and Newbold Astbury parishes lying further to the south.
Congleton is seven miles east of the M6 motorway, connected by the A534. It is on the A34 trunk road between Stoke-on-Trent and Manchester, and the A54 to Buxton and the Peak District. The A536 links the town with Macclesfield, with the A527 linking the town to Biddulph and providing an alternative route to Stoke-on-Trent.
Congleton railway station opened on 9 October 1848. It lies on the Manchester to Stoke-on-Trent branch of the West Coast Main Line.
The Macclesfield Canal passes through the town. It was completed in 1831. It runs 26 miles (42 km) from Marple Junction at Marple, where it joins the Upper Peak Forest Canal, southwards (through Bollington and Macclesfield), before arriving at Bosley. The canal is renowned for its elegant roving bridges, locally known as Snake Bridges.

If you're happy with your existing iPhone, and you can get a brand new battery for it for just $29, it's hard to justify a $1,000 upgrade to the latest model. Apple realized this late last year when iPhone sales slowed and it was forced to slash its earnings forecast.
Cook, in an open letter to investors, blamed the battery replacement program — alongside falling demand in China — as one of the reasons for the iPhone's struggle. And now we know why.
During an all-hands Apple meeting on January 3, Cook confirmed that the company replaced 11 million iPhone batteries under the $29 program, according to John Gruber of Daring Fireball. Apple would have usually anticipated just 1-2 million replacements.
If 11 million fans chose a new battery over a $1,000 upgrade, that's roughly $11 billion in revenue Apple missed out on last year.
Not every iPhone user who had a battery replacement would have bought a new model had there been no $29 fix, of course. And surely some of those who did get a replacement also went on to get an upgrade anyway. It's not the most accurate estimate, then.
But Apple confirmed late last year that it expected to earn between $5 billion and $9 billion less than originally forecast for Q1 2019. It seems the company didn't foresee just how much of an impact the program would have on new iPhone sales.
"My guess: the effect of the battery replacement program on new iPhone sales wasn't apparent until after the iPhone XR and XS models were available," Gruber writes.
Apple launched the $29 battery replacement program in an effort to alleviate iPhone throttling controversy. The company confirmed it had been slowing down older handsets with aging batteries to ensure stable performance and prevent unexpected shutdowns.
Its admission resulted in a deluge of complaints from consumers and critics, so a new battery, which would remove the need to throttle older devices, was offered for a significantly smaller fee. But Apple didn't seem to mind what the impact on upgrades would be.
There are some silver linings that Apple and its investors must appreciate. 11 million battery replacements would have earned around $319 million in revenue, and that's 11 million customers still carrying an iPhone and using Apple services.

Bond Search & Selection Ltd is a multi award winning recruitment company recruiting across the UK and Ireland. We think our approach is different and we are very pleased that the UK and Irish recruitment industries agree.
Bond was formed at the end of 2003 and in 2005 was named the 'Best New Recruitment Company in the UK' at the UK Recruiter Awards for Excellence. We were described as a 'breath of fresh air' for the UK recruitment industry and have continued to maintain this approach as the business has grown and developed. Since that first award we have won many others, recognising our candidate and client service, our marketing campaigns and the performance of individual consultants. We are also delighted to have been named the Irish News Recruitment Team of the Year on multiple occasions.
"Our winners achieved outstanding commercial success in turbulent times without compromising their ethics or professional standards and were the judges' unanimous choice in the category" Irish News Workplace and Employment Awards
