The iron block was still pretty unbelievable for me too but with the latest stuff from A70 and now this, I can't help but be a believer.

As Guff said, one of Tada's closest friends made a FB post about the block being iron a few days back if anyone was still on the fence. This particular individual is privy to product planning/PR and engineering efforts and generally knows this information before anyone else outside of Tada's inner circle (even myself).
