Our exclusive report that the Force Touch feature in the new iPhones will be a more advanced form of the technology than used in the Apple Watch has been supported by what may be the patent behind it. Prompted by our report, Patently Apple revisited a patent published in Europe in July and found references which point to the ability to measure three levels of force. While the technology used in the Apple Watch can measure varying levels of pressure (as can be seen in the animation if you slowly increase pressure, for example on the notifications screen), the measurement is translated into just two levels: a touch or a press....

The second chapter of the Arrowverse crossover Crisis on Infinite Earths was just as filled with Easter Eggs from the comics as the first. This is no surprise to fans of The CW’s superhero series, who are well aware of how well the network’s shows pay tribute to their source material. Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part Two saw the heroes shifting focus from evacuating the Earths in the path of the anti-matter wave to locating 7 legendary heroes known as the Paragons....

Emma Thompson is in talks for a mystery role in Disney’s Cruella movie. With all the recent attention that live-action remakes have been getting in the wake of successes like Beauty and the Beast and The Jungle Book, somehow, Cruella, Disney’s live-action prequel to their classic 101 Dalmatians, has remained relatively under wraps. It’s been quite a few years now since the prequel was first announced, and there’s certainly been no shortage of rumors along the way to keep 101 Dalmatians fans intrigued....

Larry David’s HBO sitcom Curb Your Enthusiasm, in which the Seinfeld co-creator plays a fictionalized version of himself, is one of the funniest shows on the air right now. It has a stellar cast who all improvise their own dialogue from a meticulously constructed story outline, leading to some unexpected comedic gems arising from each scene. The storylines of each episode often overlap with each other in masterful ways. However, as with any show, Curb has had episodes that were stronger than others and episodes that were weaker than others....

The Curse of La Llorona scored the lowest opening weekend in the Conjuring film franchise, but it’s still a box office hit. Beginning in 2013 with the original movie, the property has become one of Warner Bros.’ most successful cash cows this decade. In addition to two mainline entries, there have been multiple spinoffs, like Annabelle and The Nun, that helped flesh out the shared universe further. The Curse of La Llorona is the latest side story, marking the sixth installment overall in the franchise....

Cyberpunk 2077 multiplayer will be a feature in the game at some point, CD Projekt Red confirmed today, although it won’t be something that players will have access to when the game launches. Rumors about the existence of a Cyberpunk 2077 multiplayer option have persisted for pretty much the entirety of the game’s development in the public eye, but were stifled somewhat during an early summer interview with lead quest designer Pawel Sasko, who stated that the studio wasn’t “really working on multiplayer....

Warning: SPOILERS for Doomsday Clock #9 Superman may be the first superhero, but he isn’t the most important. DC has revealed the one hero that their entire universe is built on… and it isn’t who most comic fans will expect. There will be many who disagree, since the “most important DC superhero” is obviously a subjective title. But DC Comics has given as official an honor as they can, revealing the one costumed hero that was the key to everything that came after....

You get drunk one night, post something you shouldn’t on Facebook, then delete it next morning. End of story? Well, no it isn’t. Here’s the story, simply put. Ars Technica has investigated the problem three years ago, realizing that a photo that’s been deleted from Facebook still lurks around and can be easily seen, as long as the direct link to the jpg file is used to access it. Still, Facebook has assured the author that it’s working on it, and that things were going to improve....

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kp_Mz6rs9fc] Chronic Dev Team is putting finishing touches on what is set to become the world’s first untethered jailbreak solution for iOS 5 and 5.0.1. Team member and French hacker pod2g just released this video showing off the jailbreak, which appears to be near-complete and functioning properly. Unlike tethered, untethered jailbreak does not require that the device be connected to a computer each time it needs to be booted. It appears you won’t be able to untether with iOS 5....

He bought the non-working board through a Christie’s private sale, for an undisclosed sum....

John Amos is returning for Coming To America 2. Amos, who played a pivotal part in the first film, is one of several actors already announced for the anticipated sequel. Released in 1988, Coming to America stars Eddie Murphy, arguably at the height of the star’s popularity, as the idealistic Akeem. A prince of the fictional African nation Zamunda, Akeem lives an undoubtedly coddled life. But when he finds out that his parents have arranged a marriage for him, to a woman he doesn’t know, Akeem rebels....

Yesterday, my colleague Parker Ortolani wrote about the time Apple discontinued not once but twice an iPod touch ahead of WWDC for a simple reason: it wouldn’t support the latest iOS. This time, not only the seventh-generation iPod touch is still being sold, but the Apple Watch Series 3 is living its best life as “In Stock” and available all over the US. Here’s why we’ve been saying that Apple should discontinue the Series 3: because the company only sells the version with 8GB of storage and it’s not very intuitive at all to restore the Apple Watch every time you need to upgrade it for the latest version of watchOS....

Update: I’d been under the impression that the W1 chip in AirPods required matching tech in the iPhone 7, but it turns out this isn’t the case, and the chip can perform its pairing and power-saving magic with older devices too. That only underlines my desire to see Apple license the chip. Of all the things that Apple announced during the iPhone 7 launch, the W1 chip actually impressed me most....

The concepts of foldable smartphones were first introduced by Huawei in the early months of 2019. Although the Chinese manufacturer didn’t launch this smartphone on its scheduled event which was in June 2019, it was later and silently launched in November 2019 in China. Huawei extended the launch because users of a smartphone with similar concept i.e. Samsung foldable phone started reporting problems in the same. After the launch in November 2019 in China, Huawei Mate X is performing well and is liked by a lot of users....

Every smartphone available to purchase in the international smartphone markets appears simply the best at the first look. This is because the manufacturers are paying a lot of attention to provide them elegant looks. However, this doesn’t mean they are compromising with the quality. Of course not and smartphone makers like Vivo are successful because they have actually loaded their gadgets with quality as well as with beauty. With respect to time, Android smartphones often have problems in them and these problems in most of the cases are caused by minor software issues that can be fixed easily by the user itself....
