And this is how I’ve been rolling for a few years now. And during that time, I’ve noticed something quite interesting. First, the iPhone is buggy. Incredibly buggy.

The death of Tony Stark/Iron Man in Avengers: Endgame is one of the saddest moments in MCU, but his loss was extra painful for Peter Parker/Spider-Man for one specific reason. Tony and Peter’s relationship was properly developed by Marvel Studios over the years since they first met during the events of Captain America: Civil War. Their mentor-mentee relationship further progressed in Spider-Man: Homecoming, leading to the events of Avengers: Infinity War....

However, there isn’t some definite news about whether it is coming to PS4 or Nintendo Switch. Soon after the initial launch of Fault Milestone One, the game publishers Sekai Project released the English version the next year. The game features a princess Selphine and her companion Ritona who is her official guardian....

UPDATE: Playtonic Games has taken to Twitter to issue an official statement debunking the rumors. Sadly, while the team would be thrilled to work on a new Banjo-Kazooie game, the studio currently is not working on the project. Microsoft could be eyeing up the developer of Yooka-Laylee as the future developer of Banjo-Kazooie, if recent industry rumblings are correct. Gamers have long been clamoring for the return of Rare’s bear and bird duo, so much so that Nintendo even licensed the Microsoft-owned character to include in Smash Bros....

IT has taken over Clue and Monopoly with new versions of the classic games. Since first being introduced in 1949 and 1935, respectively, the two games have become staples in board game collections around the world. Today, both games are owned by Hasbro, who have often taken to licensing the games out for different versions based on popular films, television programs, and cities of the world. The creation of different versions of older games has grown in popularity over the years, with Hasbro being only one of several game manufacturers who have taken to aligning themselves with pop culture mainstays like The Simpsons, Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, or James Bond....

After just over a month since the last similar episode, several developers from around the world have reported a critical issue with iTunes Connect that is preventing new app and software update deployment to the App Store. Apple has noted the disruption on its developer system status page with a brief message: “Some users are experiencing a problem with [iTunes Connect].” The system status page lists the service disruption as occurring around 8 PM EST yesterday, but developers first began reporting problems with app and update submissions much earlier on Wednesday....

Apple software generally works better with the company’s own hardware. This is especially true with iTunes, which is a pain to use on Windows computers. iTunes users on Windows aren’t strangers to the bugs and error codes that pop-up every so often. The error code 0xE80000A while connecting an iPhone to Windows 10 has been troubling users for a long while now. The exact cause for the error isn’t known....

Unlocking all the lightsaber colors in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order isn’t like other Star Wars games, namely the Knights of the Old Republic series in which lightsaber crystals needed to be obtained across the galaxy, but by being different, the game is requiring players to be patient in order to get more lightsaber colors down the line. Of course, being a single-player game with a Jedi at the forefront, the biggest draw to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is the lightsaber....

During a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Jeremy Renner played coy when it comes to any details surrounding the recently announced Disney+ TV show Hawkeye. The series will seemingly focus on Renner’s Clint Barton training Kate Bishop to take over the role of Hawkeye, much like she did in a run of comics surrounding the Bishop character. With Avengers: Endgame serving as finale of sorts for the first eleven years of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this move makes a lot of sense for Disney....

As the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to expand on the big screen, the studio has been extending its reach on television as well. Netflix has had impressive success with its Defenders series of heroes, including Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and the upcoming Iron Fist and The Punisher.

However, the studios’ next comic book adaptation is Phillips’ Joker, which takes place in a separate universe....

To help raise money for the relocation of the prestigious London Design Museum, Apple has submitted a very special lot to be sold at auction. Jony Ive has designed a one-of-a-kind iPad Pro and set of accessories, labelled ‘Edition 1 of 1’.

Quarterly revenue from iPad and related products and services was $2.84 billion on sales of 4.69 million units, or nearly nine percent of the total $24.67 billion in revenues Apple reported for the entire March quarter. If sales had matched 7.33 million iPad shipped in the holiday quarter, quarterly iPad revenue could have hit $4.61 billion. Sales should grow organically in the coming weeks as manufacturing ramps up, iPad 1 channel inventory dries up and Apple expands iPad presence to new territories....

Yesterday evening, Apple launched a new repair program for a small percentage of iPhone 11 devices affected by touch screen issues. For affected devices, Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider will provide service, free of charge. Here’s how to check to see if your device is eligible. iPhone 11 repair program Apple says that the issue only applies to the iPhone 11, not the iPhone 11 Pro or the iPhone 11 Pro Max....

Millions of people buy Apple’s largest iPhones each year for one main reason: they love the large screen. That’s something to which I ought to be able to relate. I’ve always owned the largest MacBooks Apple offers: from the 17-inch MacBook Pro back in the day, through to the 16-inch one today. I also own and love the largest iPad available, and am on record as saying that I’d buy a bigger one if I could....

[UPDATE: Yep.] While we know we’ll see three new iPhones unveiled today, the fate of at least two of Apple’s older iPhones is uncertain. The iPhone SE, iPhone 6s, and iPhone 6s Plus are not listed on the leaked sitemap that includes iPhone 7, iPhone 8, iPhone Xs, iPhone Xr, and iPhone Xs Max. We already expected the iPhone X to be discontinued, but it’s possible Apple may be sunsetting the last remaining 4-inch iPhone and the last models that feature headphone jacks....

Sherman may be a small Texas town with a population of just a few tens of thousands of people, but Apple supplier Finisar has big plans for its new plant there … Finisar makes vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSEL) used in the iPhone X’s face-recognition system, along with the proximity sensors in AirPods. Back in December, Apple paid Finisar $390M against future orders at part of its Advanced Manufacturing Fund designed to support US-based manufacturing....

If you are planning on purchasing a new iPhone at Virgin Mobile this holiday shopping season, you are all but out of luck. While it somehow still sells the over three-year-old iPhone 4s, the prepaid carrier has not added the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus to its smartphone lineup and lists last year’s iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c models as out of stock. Virgin Mobile claims that both the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c are “temporarily out of stock,” although neither smartphone has been available through its website for quite some time....
