Another reason to avoid designing in MEMS oscillators... I don’t.

So what is the advantage of a MEMS clock vs. a quartz crystal?

Apple iOS devices can be killed dead, dead, dead, by a leak of Helium gas. . . not so with Android devices. Hospital worker discovers strange epidemic of dead iPhones and iPads during the installation of a new MRI machine when it developed a leak in the Helium venting of its cryogenic cooling system leaking Helium into the hospital atmosphere. The Helium atoms invaded the system clocks of the iOS devices causing the run faster and faster until the devices completely crashed. Android devices do not use the same type of system clock and are not susceptible to this type of crashing. Word to the wise, don't fill Helium balloons while using iOS devices! —PING!

Guess I’m lucky, having recently filled a bunch of helium balloons for my granddaughter’s birthday party. My Apple Watch and iPhone work fine. A couple kids popped balloons in the house. Guess it takes a lot of helium, like 90,000 cubic meters, to infiltrate the tiny openings in our devices.

This evaporated helium is usually pumped out of the facility through a vent
What a waste. I thought they recycled the helium.

The phones were fine. Everything coming out of the phone’s speakers was in a high, squeaky voice that no one could hear.

Why can’t MEMS be in gastight enclosures.

The helium isn’t in a closed loop system? They vent it off to atmo?
Seems a bit wasteful. And isn’t helium supply kinda finite?

...Apple recently defected from traditional quartz-based clocks in its phones... "defected"???
Meaning, I infer, "switched". A designer or manufacturer doesn't "defect", that's what spies do. Whaaa??
Somebody got a brand new thesaurus.
