Rather than managing a separate Pixelmator library, the app can now simply present the Files interface instead....

Here’s something interesting that appeared in our inbox this evening. According to our tipster SulfoDK, the middle iPhone antenna below will be the new ‘iPhone 4S’ antenna band. It appears to simply be the current CDMA antenna with a SIM card tray cut out in a similar spot as the GSM iPhone 4 (and as such could be faked or prototyped fairly easily). With the amount of advertising on these images and the easy in which it could be faked, we are wary....

When comparing Apple’s new iPhones side-by-side, the biggest difference that calls out to me is that beautiful iPhone X display. The bezel-less device fully immerses you in content, and compared to the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus’ bezels, it seems otherworldly. I don’t know why I’d go for any other iPhone. By shrinking those bezels down, the iPhone X gains a significant display size increase, while remaining smaller than the iPhone 8 Plus....

His very presence in the show was vital in keeping Jamie Fraser alive long enough to be reunited with Claire. Their friendship and loyalty to one another have been treasured by fans over the course of seasons 3 and 4. Grey is a fascinating and complex character dealing with his own internal battles, being homosexual in a time where that simple truth could have him hanged....

Overwatch was finally confirmed for Nintendo Switch. Nintendo fans have been treated to a medley of major third-party releases in recent months, scoring everything from Mortal Kombat 11 to The Witcher 3. It seemed inevitable that more would follow, but even a year ago fans could have been forgiven for not believing that a online multiplayer shooter like Overwatch would fair well on Switch. Evidently, Blizzard disagreed. The trailer was shown off during the latest Nintendo Direct presentation, to the surprise of few....

Pandora has updated its iOS app to take advantage of home screen widgets in iOS 14. The recently played widget comes in three sizes for quick access to your recently played songs, albums, stations, podcasts, and more.

However, the new recently played widgets look quite handy and versatile offering up to 7 recently played songs, albums, stations, playlists, or even podcasts....

As much as us Parks and Recreation fans adore Leslie Knope and her dedication to Pawnee and friendship, everyone has their flaws.

This article may come hard for those fangirling over Leslie but no one’s perfect. She’s organized but controlling....

Later this year, the Planet of the Apes franchise will return to the big screen with War for the Planet of the Apes, the latest film to follow the story of Andy Serkis’ apes leader, Caesar, and which is shaping up to be one of the most exciting blockbuster films in a year packed to the brim with them.

On Friday, rumors suggested Apple will introduce a new MacBook available in iMac-style colors, which could mean a white keyboard and bezels and colored chassis. Would you buy one?
