In celebration of the App Store’s 5th anniversary, Apple is giving away a handful of apps for free! Some of the apps available right now too.

It’s a pretty bizarre premise to base a show around, and it shouldn’t have worked, at all. But that it did is just truly a testament to its writers and the series’ perfect cast....

Colin Trevorrow confirms the Star Wars 9 original script leaks. While J.J. Abrams’ The Rise of Skywalker has its fair share of supporters, its mixed reception led to an increased interest in what the movie could have been when Trevorrow was still onboard as director.

Apple’s app review process while streamlined and quick, doesn’t always catch everything within an app before it is approved and released on the App Store. This time an app disguised as a calculator was able to make it through the cracks, with a hidden photo/video aspect underneath an otherwise fully functional calculator. Business Insider reports that Private Photos (Calculator%) is an app that allows teenagers to hide photos and videos behind what is seemingly a fully functional calculator....
