Draft European Union legislation raises the possibility that pre-installed Apple apps might be banned in Europe. Instead, consumers would be offered the option of installing them, creating a more level playing field between Apple and third-party developers offering competing apps.

Oppo has been a cool and calm customer among smartphone brands when it comes to delivering software updates. Though the company has delivered updates on occasions, it is the Android 10 update, where the company really showed its colors. Oppo released an Android 10 ColorOS 7 update roadmap for its devices for multiple regions and followed it strictly and almost all the phones are now running the Android 10 ColorOS 7 update....

The Honest Trailer for 2019’s Oscars has officially arrived. Screen Junkies’ flagship series thrives on controversial casting decisions, negative fan backlash and movie PR disasters, so when it came time to put together this year’s Oscar special, the Honest Trailer team probably weren’t struggling for material. The Academy themselves have experienced a turbulent build up to the 2019 ceremony, beginning with the Best Popular Film fiasco, a transparent attempt to placate those calling for Black Panther to get a Best Film nod without actually giving it a Best Film nod....

As the release of the next-generation iPad approaches, we’ve discovered some intriguing photos on a Chinese forum of an apparent iPad Retina Display production line. The forum posting contains some blurry spy shots of what it is calling the iPad 3’s 2048 x 1536 display, but perhaps more interestingly, has a photo of packed up Retina Displays. These boxes are likely of Retina Displays that are prepared to be shipped off to Apple’s final product assembly lines....

While Apple’s London Covent Garden and Regent Street stores have given the company a prominent presence in the city centre, a proposed development at 100 Cheapside in London’s uber-rich financial district may be threatened by neighbours claiming rights to sunlight. ifoAppleStore got their hands on a rendering of the proposed development which would cover 87,000 square-feet of office space, and 13,000 square feet of ground floor retail space. A report from Reuters notes that Apple is currently interested in moving in....

A new photo filter app, Prisma, is taking the App Store by storm this week (if you can ignore the Pokémon GO fervor) with good reason. At first glance, Prisma seems like any other photo filter app: choose a filter, pick an image, share to social media. What sets Prisma apart is the diversity and quality of the filters themselves. There are some incredibly rich and unique options on here, that go beyond the usual shadowy color shifts popularized by Instagram....

The (almost) free lunch promised by Bitcasa of unlimited cloud storage for just $99/year is coming to an end, and the company has also informed users that they will need to manually migrate all data to a new backend by 15th November or it will be deleted.

We’ve known that Apple has been working on a car for around six years now. Apple always tries to do their work in secret, but whenever they attempt to enter an entirely new industry it inevitably leaks out. We haven’t heard much about ‘Project Titan’ as we believe it’s been dubbed internally, in quite some time. In fact, I thought the project had finally been axed after countless reorganizations. But just a few days ago, Reuters released a new report about Apple’s automotive efforts and it’s starting to sound like ‘Project Titan’ is back on and in full force....

Visual effects artists criticize the 2020 Oscars for a joke that blamed the failure of Cats on poor CGI. Released this past holiday season, director Tom Hooper’s adaptation of the famous musical became a rather infamous bomb to close out 2019. Widely panned by critics, Cats flopped at the box office and was on pace to lose a whopping $71 million. Things were so bad, Universal opted to pull award considerations for the film, focusing their efforts instead on better-received films like 1917....
