Financial services company JP Morgan thinks that Apple buying Netflix would be a wise and strategic move, and a great overall acquisition. The more big players competing within a particular industry, the better things are for consumers, at least generally. The entertainment world is no exception, as healthy competition tends to see every studio try and put out the best product it possibly can. Unfortunately, the last couple of decades have seen a trend toward mergers and acquisitions in the entertainment and media worlds, leading to less and less options that are independent from one another....

Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park wasted no time becoming the highest-grossing film of all time in 1993. It’s a triumph of science fiction, suspenseful filmmaking, and storytelling in general that captivated audiences around the world with the perfect mix of spectacle and substance. It has since been followed by two sequels, a reboot, and a sequel to the reboot, with a sequel to the sequel to the reboot on the way....

I said in my two previous pieces on Apple’s Magic Keyboard for the iPad that it’s not a perfect product. It’s really expensive, and that fact isn’t reflected in the look and feel of the cover. There’s no Escape key, and no functions keys. The screen angle doesn’t quite go back as far as I’d ideally like. It’s not quite as stable on my lap as I’d like. But I also said something else …...

This year I’ve had the opportunity to handle all four models in the flagship iPhone lineup: 12 mini, 12, 12 Pro, and 12 Pro Max. Each iPhone is best at something that makes the variety in the lineup logical, but four phones also makes the buying decision trickier than ever. I usually favor the most iPhone that Apple has to offer, so I really appreciate the iPhone 12 Pro Max. This is the first year Apple has brought the iPhone X design to a smaller screen, however, and how cool I find the iPhone 12 mini has been a huge surprise for me....

You might not notice juts by watching it, but Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros’ latest music video debuting today was filmed totally from an iPhone 6s … or six.

Of course it helps to have professional add-on equipment and a background as interesting as New Orleans, but Morano tells Mashable which picked up the images from Apple that shooting with the iPhone wasn’t completely natural:...
