Fixed that for ya.

Flesh does attenuate some of the signal from a reader, but not really a measurable amount. Bones a bit more because of their mineral content, but still not much.
The Apex Mega will have much better range just by virtue of its shape, but it won’t approach the performance of the flexNExT. Based on my testing it may be possible to read it through the hand with a good reader, depending on your hand thickness. We’ll see how the LEDs impact that though when I get them to light concurrently.

Couple is roughly 2, this post was 27 days ago. Does that mean that we are already over a week into full production of apex?

If you join the club you will find out up to the minute information.
(Now I just need discourse to fix the bug that shows me as being subscribed so I can’t subscribe, but have no active subscriptions…)

I think I just realized something…
The apex can emulate a ntag… so does this mean you can change the uid like a magic ntag?
Nah, NXP went out of their way to nip that in the bud. The MIFARE Classic and DESFire applets (which are not even loaded into the ROM mask of the Apex because they’re phat) do not have changeable IDs. Their UIDs are derived from the P71s normal UID
Balls, I thought I found something I needed from the apex… I’m struggling to find use cases to justify it
That’s why blinkies are so important

Obviously, not all of these are available on launch, but I can happily live with an implant that is “fitted for but not with” and again, once it’s out, there are some clever little fuckers that I’m sure will be sharing their own applets…

Don’t forget to vote if you haven’t already…who knows, maybe it will go some way towards influencing what is next up for development 
I’m ready for the APEX.

Problem is I’m not sure I’m clever enough to make half of them work

You and me both. We will need an “implants for dummies” guide just to install the damn things. We are not tinkerers or makers. We just need to not be forgetting our house keys or wallet.

you mean apart from secure cyborg logins?
It’s really simple actually. Setting up 2FA is really easy, same for other applets I assume.
Like legit: choose applet, click install, hold phone over Apex, done.
From there it’s extremely well documented as many ppl use yubikeys for example.
I’m 1000% sure after a couple weeks we’ll have good docs for everything you need to know.
