The interest in the iPhone 17 series is high, particularly for the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max models, which are outselling their predecessors. The iPhone Air has a different tale to tell; sales haven't been great, with reports showing low demand and major production cuts.  In contrast to the heavily publicized flop of the iPhone Air, there hasn't been much info on how the iPhone 16e is doing in sales. Early reports suggested it was doing pretty well, but it seems that wasn't up to Apple's standards.  Sales of the iPhone 16e and iPhone Air aren't meeting Apple's expectations, as per info from leaker Fixed Focus Digital (source in Chinese). While no exact figures were shared, the leaker suggests that Apple's effort to launch a popular, budget-friendly iPhone hasn't succeeded.

Software Update T889UVALL4 info on T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2

There are some few rooting method that works for Galaxy Note 2, but this is the best method I would suggests for beginners. The best part of this rooting technique is that it will not trigger the binary flash counter of the phablets, it will still remain in a zero count status.

This will let them know if the device have done some any modification by way of rooting, installing unofficial sofware. If this flash counter is tripped, then the device warranty is void.

In addition, your device will still receives any future official OTA updates when you use this root method.
So, if you want keep your device stays in official firmware but its already rooted and still has its original functionality like the newly added multi-window features.
