Há alguns anos, eu troquei a tela de um iPhone XR da minha esposa em parceria com a iFixit. Pois é, o desafio voltou — desta vez, em um aparelho bem mais recente e complexo: o iPhone 15 Pro Max dela, cuja bateria já estava com apenas 77% de saúde.
Aceitei o convite da iFixit para trocar a peça por uma nova, e topei documentar todo o processo em vídeo para vocês. Divirtam-se:
Para a troca, recebi da iFixit o kit de bateria para iPhone 15 Pro Max, que já vem com todas as ferramentas necessárias, e também o iOpener, aquele saquinho que se aquece no micro-ondas e ajuda muito a amolecer o adesivo que prende a tela ao aparelho.
Confesso que desta vez foi bem mais desafiador do que da última: entre um passo e outro, entre pausas para respirar e conferir o manual outra vez, levei quase 3h do início ao fim. Mas deu tudo certo, e a sensação de ver o aparelho funcionando perfeitamente com uma bateria novinha (e a esposa satisfeita) não tem preço. 😄
Meu muito obrigado à iFixit por mais essa parceria e pelas ferramentas certas para o trabalho. E aí, quem topa o desafio também? 😅
"I big, I punch," is probably the most effective and concise way of summing up the last three seasons of Reacher on Prime Video. Alan Ritchson's titular hero has slammed, drop-kicked, and battered his way through three separate stories to date, but Reacher season 4 has something new to offer.
Instead of honing in on Reacher's past or personal vendettas, our eight new episodes are ones of political espionage. Adapting the Lee Child novel Gone Tomorrow, he instead becomes embroiled in a CIA conspiracy after suspecting a woman on a New York City subway train is actually a suicide bomber. It's drama that makes you think, for the first time ever in this franchise.
It's a big tonal swing, and probably a risk that the crime drama needed to take four seasons in — but that doesn't mean it's completely paid off. In a nutshell, getting to the bottom of a big city political scandal has never made me yearn for the small-town days of seasons gone by more.
Clearly, this is part of Reacher's big-picture thinking. Seasons 1 and 3 were based in more rural locations, with seasons 2 and 4 respectively based in New York and Philadelphia. We already know that Reacher season 5 will be set in Oklahoma (like the novel Make Me), and I'm desperate to get there.
Does Reacher really have the chops to dig deeper into its punchy action? Probably not. I doubt we'll see the show stray back into these waters again, and there's good reason why.
Jack Reacher isn't the right action hero to lead a political espionage investigation
If the line "Oh no, I got it wrong!" is your signal to the audience that a dramatic twist is about to take place, then you're likely in over your head. This dialogue passes Reacher's lips halfway through season 4, with our bullish hero a fish out of water, scrambling through a plot that's much bigger than he could ever properly cope with.
On the one hand, I like that this level of insecurity humanizes Reacher more. There's always been more to him than just being muscle and meat hooks in a T-shirt, but now he's able to put his money where his mouth is. Selflessness, understanding, and the ability to be vulnerable flow out of Reacher abundantly in a way it never could have before, and I appreciate that.
However, let's not do this kind of storyline again. Our overarching threat is simultaneously too complicated to fully sink your teeth into and too mundane to actually bother caring about it. The armchair detectives among us will work out who is the 'villain' underpinning Reacher's latest disaster in a matter of seconds, and between season 4's beginning and end, you'll need a notepad and pen to keep up.
I think that an obstacle hidden in plain sight is the fact that Reacher himself doesn't have the same gravitas in a city as he does in a town. Plop him in the centre of Georgia, and he'll obviously scare the crap out of everyone around him. But in New York and Washington, D.C., he's a mere fly in the ointment. Add in a subpar storyline, and Reacher season 4 isn't exactly making its mark in an already oversaturated genre.
However, this might be Reacher's best supporting cast to date

But let's stop being a Debbie Downer... It's clobbering time! For surface-level viewing, Reacher season 4 is ticking every box you'd expect after its last three seasons, and that makes for some satisfying weekly viewing.
The secret weapon, however, is its supporting cast, which may just be my favorite of all we've had to date. New additions Tamara Green (Sydelle Noel), Jacob Merrick (Christopher Rodriguez-Marquette), and Russell Plum (Kevin Weisman) are Reacher's unlikely gang of allies, and the uneasy friendships that develop between them are the relationships that you're really rooting for.
Together, the awesome foursome drive the excitement of the piece, and help us paper over anything that isn't really gelling together in the story itself. We're desperate for them to break the rules and stick two metaphorical fingers up at authority, and they routinely indulge us. Best of all, our trio of newcomers pulls out all of Reacher's caring traits that we're desperate to see, even if they all make a few bad decisions along the way.
Without giving anything away, there are definitely some distasteful tones bubbling underneath the surface, particularly around how the story approaches sex work and, well, women in general. But hey, who cares when Reacher is going to punch something and take his shirt off, huh?
Reacher season 4 begins airing on Prime Video from August 12.

The next big push for Apple Immersive Video on Vision Pro has been revealed: live baseball games. Starting August 28 and running through the rest of the regular MLB season, the company will stream one real-time immersive matchup per week exclusively on Vision Pro as part of its Friday Night Baseball lineup on Apple TV.
Immersive games will feature an in-stadium experience with Spatial Audio captured by ambisonic microphones, special graphics like team lineups and stats floating in view, and a dedicated commentary team made up of play-by-play commentator Paul Severino, analyst Xavier Scruggs, and sideline reporter Michelle Margaux. If you’ve seen any of the immersive Lakers basketball games broadcast this year, you have an idea of how these elements come together with Immersive Video to create a rich, lifelike experience.

Live immersive games will be available to Apple TV subscribers via the TV app on Vision Pro in Australia, Canada, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, the UK, and the U.S. Full game replays and highlights will be made available after the games are over as well.
Streaming Friday Night Baseball in Apple Immersive Video seems like a natural move for Apple to make. The company has been airing baseball games on Friday nights for four years now and has worked to integrate more of its technology into the broadcasts. Plus, MLB has already won many baseball fans over with a fantastic enhanced viewing experience for baseball games in its own visionOS app. Just as Apple is beefing up its sports offerings in the Apple TV service with MLS and F1, so it’s rounding out its sports strategy on the Vision Pro with a regular output of live baseball.
To me, there’s nothing that quite matches the energy and sense of camaraderie you feel when you walk into a baseball stadium. Apple Immersive Video is a powerful medium for recreating in-person experiences, so I’m very keen to watch one of these live games for myself. If Apple’s immersive baseball games can offer a taste of what it’s like to actually be in the stadium – and based on what we’ve seen from the format before, I think it’s likely – this will quite a compelling way to watch some baseball.
Pela primeira vez, o Friday Night Baseball será transmitido ao vivo no formato Apple Immersive, permitindo que usuários do Apple Vision Pro assistam às partidas em 3D. O primeiro jogo transmitido no formato será entre o Boston Red Sox e o New York Yankees, no dia 28 de agosto (uma sexta-feira).
A Apple informou em um comunicado que as escalações das equipes e as estatísticas aparecerão flutuando na tela e que haverá uma vista do estádio com Áudio Espacial durante as pausas na partida.
Os espectadores com Vision Pro vivenciarão a icônica rivalidade entre Red Sox e Yankees a partir de ângulos de câmera exclusivos que os colocam dentro do jogo, imersos na tensão de cada duelo entre rebatedor e arremessador, nas comemorações no banco de reservas após uma grande rebatida, nas jogadas decisivas junto ao muro do campo externo e muito mais.
Quatro das sete partidas do Friday Night Baseball até setembro serão transmitidas em Apple Immersive; a programação completa pode ser conferida abaixo.

Naturalmente, o Friday Night Baseball em formato Apple Immersive estará disponível no Apple Vision Pro (M5) e no Vision Pro (M2), nos países onde o headset está disponível, para usuários com uma assinatura ativa do Apple TV.

Reacher season is my favorite time of year, and season 4 will account for much of my screen time over the next few months.
If you remember, the end of season 3 saw Reacher (Alan Ritchson) finally kill Quinn (Brian Tee) point-blank with a shotgun after reminding him of how he murdered Kohl (Mariah Robinson).
Reacher then, as is is way, leaves town... but does that mean that the drama stops? Of course not — it's just a new beginning (especially as season 5 has already been confirmed).
I haven't even seen any previews yet, but my advice is to strap in for what could be the wildest ride yet. But when do Reacher season 4 episodes 1-3 arrive on Prime Video?
What time can I watch Reacher season 4 episodes 1-3 on Prime Video?
