Sounds interesting. May we know which failures appeared?
Sealing, soldering, others….?
This is part of the problem… We have only received one device back for analysis and it looks like an installation issue… I think it was damaged due to being forced into a tight spot on the knife edge of the hand and it buckled, cracking the chip. We are putting out an official request to those who reported failures to return those units to us for analysis.

It’s a potential concentrated stress point… Especially when you consider opening and closing your hand, blood supply in region and chances of impact.
In the crease just behind knuckles of pinky and Ring finger seems to be a good spot… Or in webbing between thumb and forefinger… At least by my reckoning
My theoretical opinion anyway…
But keep up the great work
Much love to you all

I’ve been thinking about getting an implant for a long time.
After a conversation with a friend at my local hackerspace, I discovered the Apex.
This is it. I need this so much. Custom code? PGP? Fuck yeah.
You’re awesome, Amal.
Sorry if I’m asking dumb questions, but is the Apex Flex backorder something I (a nobody) can purchase? I’m aware it won’t be shipped until it’s ready.
If I buy it from the store now, do I get charged once it ships or now?
Can’t wait to conquer my fear of needles and doctors for this.

You should join the DT Club, there is more detailed updates on there, and sometimes pre-order opportunities

Cool; Done, thanks.
I was going to suggest the exact same thing.
It would probably be WORTH your while to join…

Is the size fixed or provisional and may be changed?
It will be about that size (±2mm). It’s just the next step up size wise to improve performance. Are you interested in a smaller or larger version?
I would be more interested in a smaller version like flexEM with 20-22mm.
edit: maybe you could start a poll
Hey, don’t throw him off please 
Satur9 worked so long on a 25mm version, no changes now so close before the finish line!

i said nothing 
Or
Give it a try, if you get stuck, just ask.
Also I’m guessing Performance is a more important consideration than size for Satur9 and Amal.
I’m not if sure Amal would be too keen managing a number of form factors:
With Blinky
Without Blinky
Larger better performance with Blinky
Smaller lesser Performance with blinky
Larger better performance without Blinky
Smaller lesser Performance without blinky
Ontop of that, the OTHER Apex form factors.
Again just my thoughts, but sounds messy to me
We can always go back to buying premade antennas and converting them, surely for some extra $$$ Amal would do that (if we provide the antennas)
If I’m getting a large implant, it better have a decent range. I might end up getting an Apex Mega when it’s available.

Can we get a UHF version, those things have excellent range? how about a chest sized antenna?

So you’re planning to go from no chips at all to the largest possible implant, right?
