June is Pride Month, and since 2016 Apple has shown its support in the form of special edition Apple Watch bands and later watch faces with a rainbow theme. In previous years, Apple Watch display tables in a handful of select retail stores were redecorated with a white backdrop, rainbow Apple logo, and Pride bands. This year, Apple is rolling out Pride displays to stores across the world with a new design and 2019’s Sport Loop front and center....

Reviews for Apple’s new MacBook Pro have yet to officially go live, despite a couple false starts earlier this week. Those should arrive any day now ahead of a retail release for the machine, but one pro video editor today published his early hands-on review after using the new 15-inch model in a real-world setting. The review also aims to address some of the early criticisms of the new MacBook Pro from pros, showing how the machine held up in a real-world, professional environment....

Prominent iOS developer @Chronic seems to indicate in a series of tweets this morning that there is indeed NFC hardware in the iPhone 5 (or at least prototypes), but it perhaps is not set up to be used for payment systems. [tweet https://twitter.com/chronic/status/245834867626090496] [tweet https://twitter.com/chronic/status/245836508068708352] [tweet https://twitter.com/chronic/status/245837468488839168] [tweet https://twitter.com/chronic/status/245840258040745984] The tweets seems to fall along the same lines as what we had heard earlier about prototypes.

Yep, that’s a cracked Apple Watch display. Nope, it’s not actually an Edition, just plated, but the $549 and up steel model uses the same sapphire display as Apple’s $10,000 and up watch. And yes, the Apple Watch’s sapphire display reacts to accidental drops against hard surfaces just like iPhones. In describing the craftsmanship of the Apple Watch, Apple calls sapphire “the second-hardest transparent substance after diamond,” adding that “that’s why we chose it to cover the Apple Watch and Apple Watch Edition faces,” but it still sells a $79 AppleCare+ warranty to cover accidental damage because sapphire is clearly not invincible....

Apple didn’t reveal its fiscal Q1 iPhone shipments or sales this time around.

We’ve previously seen estimates from Counterpoint, IDC and Strategy Analytics – and now Gartner has completed the set with the most pessimistic view of the four …...

It’s well known that Apple puts a lot of energy and focus into creating an amazing user experience with its products and services, and this can be seen in many ways across Apple’s ecosystem of hardware and software. However, one area where Apple has continued to offer a sub par experience is the charging solution it includes with its iPhones. Apple’s ‘best not first’ philosophy often serves the company well, although it can often make Apple fans antsy for new features....

Do you have an Oppo Watch? Well, besides its premium design, it also has GPS and NFC. Oppo also offers it at a lower price than competitors. With the development of a Wear OS-based watch for international markets, Oppo has adapted the proprietary Android-based software experience that its China-only build features into a compelling Wear OS offering. But unfortunately, the Oppo watch faces many criticisms because, for some users, the watch is not charging....

Bong Joon-ho’s followup to his 2017 climate change adventure film Okja, the movie stars the director’s regular collaborator Kang-ho Song and has been a frontrunner in the Oscars race since its release last November....

Gritty, the official mascot for the Philadelphia Flyers, reportedly punched a 13-year-old in the back. The incident was reported to have taken place during a photo session during an exclusive event. Before Gritty ever entered the scene, the Philadelphia Flyers had no mascot. In fact, they were only one of two teams in the NHL - the second being the New York Rangers - without one. In 1976, the team experimented with a mascot named Slapshot, according to ESPN, but it didn’t last....

In a report from Computerworld way back in 2009, we learned that Apple had quietly acquired Maps API company Placebase.

Fast forward two years to a new patent application titled “Schematic Maps”, filed by Apple Inc. and published today with Waldman, along with Placebase co-founder Moran Ben-David, listed as inventors....

In episode two, Netflix’s culture is discussed at length. One of the discussions I really enjoyed is how Netflix looks at employees like football teams do their players: if you can get a better player, why would you not? I’ve posed that question to a number of people in the weeks since, and while I don’t agree 100%, I do think it’s an interesting question to answer. Netflix changed a lot with how TV shows and movies are created and consumed, so looking at their past is very interesting....

Battling with other real-life trainers was always part of the Pokémon equation. With the Red and Blue versions (and a Game Boy Link Cable) you could pit your well-trained team against your friends (and enemies), and it was pretty darn immersive and fun. But was it balanced? Absolutely not… not in the slightest. Despite having multiplayer competition in the series’ very DNA, the Pokémon franchise’s balance was predominantly focused on the single-player experience, meaning that no one on the development teams had really considered the potential for fair competition in real life trainer-to-trainer battles, whether it was just between friends or part of an official tournament....
