According to a new report by IHS, Apple’s component costs for the iPhone 7 have risen compared to the previous iPhone. This means you are technically getting more bang for your buck when you buy an iPhone. But don’t fear, Apple is still making a tidy margin higher than the industry average.

This may come as a surprise, but superhero movies tend to take liberties with the laws of physics. I know, shocker. What’s next? Is the sky also blue? Do pigs love mud? Is shawarma an excellent post-battle snack? (Uh, obviously.) When it comes to Iron Man, many aspects of the suit are feasible, but just as many bend the rules of science or break them entirely.
