Earlier today, we had two new rumors coming from different sources about upcoming versions of the iPhone. While leaker Sonny Dickson revealed dummy models of this year’s lineup of iPhones, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo detailed what to expect for the 2022 iPhones. Despite things like design and new features, there’s one specific issue worth thinking about, and that’s the iPhone mini.

Director Todd Phillips claims that box office hit Joker almost wasn’t made because of merchandising concerns. Joker provides the backstory for the Batman villain formerly known as Arthur Fleck. The movie took a different spin on the evolution of The Joker.

When he has an episode during one of his sets, a video of it goes viral and gives him the platform to become the infamous Joker villain....

Just Mercy is a seemingly inspirational tale about defense attorney Bryan Stevenson (Michael B. Jordan), who represents death row inmate Walter McMillan (Jamie Foxx). But behind the optimistic veneer, the film actually has a dangerous - or at least problematic - message. Beginning with the founding of the Equal Justice Initiative, Stevenson’s non-profit legal defense organization, and following McMillan’s case through a four-and-a-half-year appeals process, Just Mercy depicts the racial inequities in the U....

On September 15th our very own Seth Weintraub was in Milwaukee for the iPhone 8 launch, and the scene was underwhelming. However, the crowd at the same store today is more in line with what iPhone X hype would suggest. Earlier this morning we shared a look at the Apple’s 5th Avenue flagship and the long lines of eager customers, but what are smaller stores looking like today? This morning I headed down to the same location Seth was at for the iPhone 8 launch to see how the launches compared....

In a synthetic test of real world app launch times, the iPhone XS Max beats out the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 by a decent margin. PhoneBuff uses robot arms to reliably open and switch apps as each app completes its loading tasks, so it is more scientific than most of these phone speed tests — at least the human error is eliminated. These ‘relay race’ tests involve launching the equivalent apps on the iPhone and the Android phone in sequence, and then opening each again in reverse order....

iZombie returns to the small screen this week after nearly a year on hiatus, and fans can’t wait to see what Liv Moore (Rose McIver) and her friends have in store. In seasons 1 and 2, the show focused heavily on Liv’s work in the morgue and as a “psychic” crime-solver, but things are about to change in season 3.

John Cena appears to be joining James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad. The former WWE star has been making the transition to Hollywood over the last several years, hoping to find the same level of success that Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and Dave Bautista have had. His first major role came in 2009’s 12 Rounds, but it did not result in him becoming a major action star right away. Instead of being pigeonholed into being the larger than life, indestructible hero, Cena has more recently found most of his success with more comedically inclined roles....
