Your Apple News app may soon get a paid-subscription makeover, as Apple plans to integrate what’s been called ‘the Netflix of magazines’ to the currently free service. Texture, an app that charges $9.99 a month for unlimited access to 200 magazine titles, is being shoehorned into a future version of Apple News, according to Bloomberg. Apple just bought Texture last month, and is said to be focusing on iOS 12 stability, not features, given all of the iOS 11 problems. There’s a bigger question out

To say the weather conditions were less than ideal for testing the Toyota GT86, a small, lightweight, rear wheel drive sports car, would have been an understatement.

Intel could soon have eight-core processors to rival AMD’s Ryzen 2nd generation CPU lineup. Redditor Dayman56 sniffed out three internal documents referencing ‘Coffee Lake S 8+2’ parts that could point to the company’s first eight-core mainstream processors. Now as for what generation these eight-core processors might fall under, they will likely sit in the same 8th generation umbrella for the current Coffee Lake processors. We imagine the processors could be an extension of the existing lineup

Apple may be devising a way to expand the feature set of your Apple Watch. A patent filed in 2015 was recently granted to the company for an “Auxiliary electronic device attachable to a wearable electronic device”. In layman’s terms, Apple is developing, at least in concept, a modular attachment to its wearable to build upon its functionality. For some tracking abilities, the Apple Watch 3 is currently the most capable, but this patent could hint at an attachment that bridges the gap (both from

If you are a Deezer user and have an Android phone, SongCatcher is now available to you. It’s a Shazam-like service that will reconize a song for you and, if you like it, will automatically add it to your playlists. The technology is proprietary to Deezer and based around acoustic fingerprinting technology ACRCloud. Apple recently bought up Shazam, perhaps the most-famous music discovery platform, for a cool $400 million. Freemium users can also use the service, but can only listen to saved song

That’s why Google has started giving directions using nearby landmarks as points of reference. So far the feature has only been seen in New York City, and Google hasn’t yet announced whether it will be rolled out more widely. So far, all the examples seem to be based on the location of fast-food restaurants, but it doesn’t appear to be a form of advertising (yet). Something old, something newThe news comes just a day after Google announced that it’s using laser scanning, drones and photometry to

We don’t have 5G networks yet, but Huawei has already confirmed that it’s working on a 5G phone and that it plans to launch the handset next year. In other words then it should land between July and September 2019, which roughly lines up with the likely launch timing of the Huawei Mate 30, or whatever it ends up being called. That doesn’t mean the Mate 30 will be the phone to get Huawei’s first 5G modem, for one thing the company might put the modem in a handset that’s not getting a wide launch,

EA may be planning to reintroduce microtransactions back into Star Wars Battlefront 2 soon, but the company has admitted that it got things wrong the first time around.

Indeed, Battlefront 2’s lootboxes error was likely a costly one given that EA cited it as a factor in the game’s lower than expected sales durin
