- Issue isolated to specific battery cells in Charge Case Accessory, not related to hardware design.

Their subscription service costs $24 a month? This is madness.
I am guessing this because the processing is done in the cloud? But then why the $700 price for the “AI Pin” device; what exactly does it do justify a $700 cost if processing is done in the cloud?

CPU: Octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon (Snapdragon 720G to be exact, they don't list it on their page though)
Memory: 4GB RAM
Storage: 32GB eMMC
They have a bunch of other HW too (LTE modem, camera, voice etc.), but this does look like one of those “legal” silicon valley type scams.
