With the introduction of iOS 14.4, Apple added new features for HomePod mini owners that make it easier to handoff music or podcast playback from your iPhone to it. Devices with the U1 chip have unique proximity functionality that cause your phone to vibrate and physically tell you when your phone gets close to a HomePod mini. It’s a great feature in theory, but it’s become incredibly annoying in practice....

Popular Apple accessory maker Incipio today announced it will acquire Griffin Technology, another well-known manufacturer of accessories for iOS and Mac products. As part of the deal, Griffin will continue to function as its own company and presumably continue its brand of popular accessories along the way. The company will also keep its global headquarters in Nashville, TN following the acquisition rather than join Incipio in Orange County, California. “Griffin has a 25 year history of designing, manufacturing and distributing iconic mobile accessories,” stated Andy Fathollahi, Founder and CEO of Incipio Group....

Intel announced this week that Bob Swan would be stepping down as CEO, with Pat Gelsinger taking the helm starting in February.

Incredibles 2’s release date was almost one of Pixar’s greatest Easter Eggs - until Toy Story 4 got in the way. It’s difficult to believe that fans of The Incredibles had to wait so long - a full fourteen years - for a sequel. However, the original plan was to make fans wait even longer, for fifteen years. In the first film, the villain Syndrome makes a victorious gloat to Mr....

Over the next few weeks, Instagram’s iOS and Android applications will be updated with a new “Start live video” button in the camera interface. The rest of the concept, although, is completely identical. The stories section will feature a “live” badge if someone is broadcasting and users can basically, watch it, add comments, hearts, and what not. However, as I mentioned before, there will be no replays which can be quite interesting....

Instagram is testing what is likely to be a controversial change to Instagram Stories. As first reported by TechCrunch, Instagram is developing a new feature that would allow users to vertically scroll through Stories, as opposed to tapping or swiping horizontally like the current design, akin to TikTok.

Instagram for iOS has been updated to support the new display resolutions on iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR. Version 65 is optimized for the larger display and new resolution which allows you to view slightly more content on the bigger screen.

With Apple reportedly ditching the 3.5mm audio jack in favor of its own Lightning port on the iPhone 7, the industry has also started looking at alternatives. With USB Type-C replacing the popular microUSB port, smartphone OEMs are expected to ditch the 3.5mm audio jack and, just like Apple, use one port for data, power and audio needs. LeEco gave us a look at the future with their recently unveiled smartphones — Le 2, Le2 Pro and Le Max 2 — that were devoid of a 3....

We’re still digging through the new iOS 11 GM firmware, and we’ve unearthed what we believe is the new LTE Apple Watch Series 3 that will be announced on Tuesday. The new Apple Watch makes a brief appearance in the Watch app sporting a red-accented digital crown, a signal meter, and complications that further hint at wireless LTE connectivity. Notably, the LTE Apple Watch appears to share a similar form factor as the Apple Watch Series 2, meaning you’ll be able to use the same bands from previous generations....

Apple released iMovie 10.0.8 today for Mac users, bringing a fix for a potential crash when the app is in the process of opening. The update also sports improved compatibility with YouTube when using the built-in export option to upload videos to the site. That change seems to be strictly under-the-hood, as the YouTube sharing interface remains the same. Users who already own iMovie 10 can get the latest version for free in the Updates tab of the Mac App Store....

I think of her every time a privacy advocate friend takes a job with a huge data-guzzling firm, always ardently believing their hiring proves that their new employer really cares about privacy. From there, either they become assimilated into defending practices they used to excoriate, or they quit in frustration. Usually, the latter. It is this experience that Northeastern University professor Ari Ezra Waldman documents in Industry Unbound: The Inside Story of Privacy, Data, and Corporate Power, for which he embedded himself in three (unnamed) companies in order to document how privacy laws play out in real-world practice....

Avengers: Infinity War will be the clear winner at the box office this weekend, and its second weekend haul may set a new record for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. There was no question the epic crossover would be one of 2018’s biggest films, but somehow, Infinity War managed to exceed commercial expectations. During its first three days, Infinity War earned a whopping $257.6 million, capitalizing on the intense hype and positive word-of-mouth to become a bona fide cinematic event....

The final trailer for Avengers: Infinity War has arrived, bringing with it a wealth of exciting new footage - including a first proper look at Thanos’ terrifying lieutenants, The Black Order. The group of lethal aliens can be seen standing amidst fiery wreckage, with Proxima Midnight holding Loki at spearpoint, and the terrifying Ebony Maw can also be seem in close-up later on, seemingly torturing poor Doctor Strange. The other two members of the Black Order whom we’ll see in the movie are Corvus Glaive and the ironically-named Black Dwarf (he’s the big one), though for the movie he’s been renamed Cull Obsidian....

Love it or hate it, Call of Duty is one of (if not the) defining video game franchises of the 21st century. Well appreciated in its original form as one of many WWII-era first person shooters, the series catapulted to prominence with the (then) controversial decision to set the fourth main title in the present-day War on Terror with Modern Warfare. The game was a smash hit that cemented online-multiplayer military shooters as the definative trend in Western mainstream gaming and Activision’s yearly COD update as the gold standard (in terms of sales) of the genre....
