In the context of Apple product engineering, the term "PE golden" typically refers to a milestone or version of a product that is considered the final, approved, and ready-for-production version. It is often associated with the point in the product development process where the design, functionality, and performance have been thoroughly reviewed and tested, and any necessary revisions or improvements have been made. This version is considered "golden" because it serves as the reference point for manufacturing and distribution, and any changes beyond this point may require additional validation and testing. For instance, when developing a new iPhone model, the "PE golden" version would be the one that has passed all quality assurance checks, meets design specifications, and is deemed ready for mass production. This milestone helps ensure consistency and quality in Apple's products.
i have a iphone XS smart battery case here with EVT firmware on it. it has mentions of air power inside. and configurations to enable/disable them. potentially interested?
@@2.vuthanhdanh965 i'd love to but it's all software on this one specifically. it looks and feels like your usual retail. it just is running very odd software that you can access using serial debuggers. they dont have a locked/encrypted iBoot.. so DCSD's stil work with them
Hmm. Serial suggests week 26 of 2017, ROW means ”rest of world” variant of the phone. PE would usually mean product engineering, golden meaning golden sample, i.e. a sample that seems most optimal.
PRB Stage is probably Production Ramp (Build), sitting before MP but after PVT. The rest of the markings make it seem likely that this was built during the production ramp phase, testing their ability to bring up more and more production lines (this one appears to be from F4).
What ever happened to the prototype iphone 8 that had I'm on my way back with touch I.Did button in the back of the bottom on where the apple logo was at
Would I be able to load iOS firmware instead of the switchboard OS? Can I load my Xcode compiled apps into switchboard OS and play around with them? Probably missing all those required frameworks?
EDIT: I've watched some other videos, and now I think that my theories are probably invalid 😢 Maybe, but it's also possible that - Development iBoot doesn't support iTunes restoration - Development builds are probably not signed, but if they do, it might be using different key from the retail one. - Development iBoot may refuse to boot signed or production OS. - As mentioned above, it would destroy purpose of the prototype
first of all, it is not hacked, its a prototype worth about 10 thousand, as 2017 prototypes and above are rare. and its not junk, heck even your phone looked like this when it was in a employee's hand
