    Apple mistakenly told some trade-in customers “we never received your iPhone.”

    An overnight email from Apple said the company can’t complete the trade-in process... even though the people getting it, like our reader Kevin, traded in their iPhones last year. Apple has since sent a follow-up message saying, “Please disregard the previous email we sent:”

    You recently received an email with incorrect information regarding your Apple Trade-in. Please disregard our email. There are no issues with your order or Apple Trade-in. We apologize for any confusion this caused.

    Because you didn’t trade in your phone, we are unable to complete the trade-in process. The associated loan on this iPhone will resume.
    This was the email Apple sent out in error.

    Researchers find text-reading exploits across popular Chinese keyboard apps.

    The Citizen Lab analyzed Chinese keyboard apps from Baidu, Honor, Huawei, iFlytek, Oppo, Samsung, Tencent, Vivo, and Xiaomi. It found that each of these apps — except for Huawei’s — has an exploit that can “reveal the contents of users’ keystrokes in transit.” The research group estimates these vulnerabilities impact up to 1 billion people.

    Prosecutors want to put Binance’s former CEO behind bars for three years.

    In a filing on Tuesday, the DOJ says Changpeng Zhao’s alleged crimes “warrant meaningful prison time” and that the three-year term will “not just send a message to Zhao but also to the world.” Zhao’s lawyers followed up with a filing shortly after, saying he should just be sentenced to probation.
