A simple observation: it seems that all governments of all countries have not condemned this attack with pagers in Lebanon… Are they going to use this new form of terrorism (as they did for 9/11) to impose new drastic measures on the population, such as bans (for security reasons, of course) or restrictions on air travel, bans on bringing a cell phone or iPhone with you on your trip, etc.? And also to create a fear of these devices? And slowly lead us towards the 15-minute cities where you won't have a car or a computer or anything at all, just for your own safety?
Well, it's going to turn out badly. And they will lose a LOT of money. After these events, I have already seen in social networks that people are going to get rid of their iPhones and buy chinese brands (huawei, xiaomi etc.) And the chinese themselves start using their national brands by default. The irony is that not only did the demand for these brands increase explosively (no pun intended), giving the Chinese a huge market. Now, they have recently achieved in the country, that the Chinese semiconductor supply chain now have the ability to achieve self-sufficiency. What I mean by this is that ALL manufacturing, from the first bolt to the last nut, will be Chinese, completely proprietary with no third party intervention.
And if that's not enough, the Chinese are already making the leap from lithium batteries to salt batteries. Lower energy density compared to lithium-ion batteries, but lower cost, better safety characteristics, and similar power delivery.
All that money the Chinese are going to get will accelerate their technological growth.
