“It is absolutely accurate that the intelligence community does not know exactly where, when or how the COVID-19 virus was transmitted initially,” Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines told lawmakers Wednesday during a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing.

It was also conflated with an alternative theory, disproved by scientists and ruled out by the intelligence community, that the virus could have been a bioweapon.

Haines’s testimony on Wednesday is the clearest and most public confirmation to date of the ongoing intelligence community investigation into this theory.

The intelligence community was first enlisted to help track the foreign response to the virus and its origins in the winter of 2019-20 amid concerns that Chinese officials were not forthcoming about the disease’s spread and not immediately receptive to foreign researchers, including from the WHO, traveling to Wuhan to help investigate.

A number of scientists dispute or doubt the lab accident theory, but there is a growing consensus around the need for a more detailed investigation into the origins of the pandemic in order to prevent the next outbreak.

While former senior Trump administration officials have discussed the lab accident theory publicly on several occasions, Biden’s own top advisers, including national security adviser Jake Sullivan, have also criticized the WHO’s investigation into the origins of the pandemic.

On Wednesday morning, he posted an image taken from Sina Weibo that purportedly features two iPhone 13 "film samples," both of which have a smaller notch than what we've seen on recent models.

One of the two display panels in the image is far smaller than the other, which would seemingly indicate that we are looking at the front panels of the iPhone 13 mini and iPhone 13 Pro.

Multiple sources have claimed that Apple was able to achieve a smaller notch on the iPhone 13 lineup by moving the earpiece speaker into the top bezel, allowing for a less crowded sensor housing.

Providing we are seeing these display panels from the front, the selfie camera appears to have shifted from the right side of the earpiece speaker over to the left side of the notch.

The selfie camera currently sits just off-center inside the notch, but with the speaker reportedly being removed from the housing, it looks like Apple will push the camera all the way to the side.

Beyond the selfie camera, another recent leak has insinuated that the base iPhone 13 model will use a new configuration for the primary camera on the back of the phone.
