The iPhone X is only a few weeks old but already the rumor mill is starting up about next year’s iPhones. Think of these as the iPhone X 2, at least for now. Importantly, though, this won’t really be a “backwards-looking” phone like this year’s iPhone 8 and 8 Plus ; instead, the LCD phone will adopt the iPhone X ‘s basic form factor, sensor “notch” and all. The smaller 5.8-inch model, he says, will display images at 458 pixels per inch with a resolution of 1,125 x 2,436. The larger 6.5-inch vers

Amazon is a little late to the world of on-demand TV streaming, but AdAge reports that the massive online retailer is trying to catch up by developing a free tier for its Prime Video service. Much like the least expensive version of Hulu (or, you know, regular TV), the potential service would be supported by ads. In the US and UK, Prime Video is generally advertised as a side perk of Amazon’s popular $99/£79 Prime membership service , but it’s also possible to buy a standalone monthly subscripti

An Xbox One S for $189. Basically, as long as you buy an Xbox One S in the next two to three weeks, you’re going to chillin’ like a villain with a new cheap Xbox. Forza Motorsport 7, one of the most gorgeous-looking titles on Xbox One S and Xbox One X. will be $39.99, while Gears of War 4 and Halo Wars 2 will be available for $19.99 apiece. Also on the docket are subscription deals: You can save $10 on a 3-month or 6-month subscription to Xbox Live Gold and Microsoft is making Xbox Game Pass, it

Antivirus software is, naturally enough, designed to defend your PC from malicious attacks, but it seems that some of these security apps are suffering from a worrying vulnerability which has been dubbed AVGater. A few more software makers have still to patch their applications, but the researcher doesn’t name any names, for obvious reasons. On an overall level for all PC users, this is just another reminder that antivirus apps can suffer from vulnerabilities, just as with any piece of software.

One of the advantages of Face ID on the iPhone X is that – according to Apple at least – it’s very, very hard to fool, and the Cupertino brand says it’s worked to stop masks fooling it. But despite that, it seems a mask that can trick the iPhone X may already have been created. You can see the mask seemingly working in the video below, and interestingly the mask isn’t even a full-face replica, with Bkav noting that it only needed details for half the face to fool Face ID. Probably not, unless yo

The cellular version of the Apple Watch 3 might seem like an unnecessary expense, but a film-maker is claiming that he was saved by the digi-timepiece. Speaking to the Daily Mail, John Zilles revealed that he was kitesurfing a mile off the coast of California when he wiped out and couldn’t get his kite to fly again. He started swimming for shore, but after estimating that it would take him over two hours and remembering that there had been shark sightings in the area, he used his waterproof Appl

Now that the Xbox One X has arrived alongside the PlayStation 4 Pro, we have well and truly entered the era of 4K gaming. As players we know we get incredible gaming experiences from these advancements but what are things like on the development side? There’s no point in 4K consoles if there aren’t any 4K games to play, after all. A recent interview TechRadar had with Final Fantasy 14’s director Naoki Yoshida confirmed that’s indeed the case. It’s not just 4K consoles that are changing the gamin

Developer Bluehole launched Tera back in 2011 in South Korea, and it followed to North America and Europe in 2012. It’s an online RPG with combat that plays out like an FPS, but panic struck over the weekend when the game servers were brought down for emergency maintenance to fix a gaping chat-related vulnerability. Gameforge, the EU publisher, applied the fix on Friday at 16:00 UK time, a day earlier. So the issue was dealt with fairly swiftly, as you’d hope, although by all accounts players ha

As impressive as the iPhone X is, its performance has certainly been under scrutiny since it launched, mostly for issues with its display. And now there’s a new issue to add to the list, as dozens of iPhone X users have reported that the front-facing earpiece speaker is making crackling or buzzing sounds when used at high volumes. Nothing to hear hereWe thoroughly tested the speakers on our iPhone X unit during our review period and found them to be powerful and punchy, with no hint of a crackle

Apple’s customary “just one more thing” hasn’t yet extended to the ‘invention’ of X-ray vision. But if you’re looking to ape Superman’s most useful* super power, the iPhone X’s lush screen can do a pretty good job of tricking your eyes into thinking it’s possible. The team at iFixit, best known for its gadget teardowns, has put the exposed innards of the iPhone X to a good use beyond assessing its repairability factor. You’ll find the option in your Settings menu, under Wallpapers, where recentl

One of the reasons that Need For Speed: Payback creates a poor first impression is that it plunges you into its unrelentingly embarrassing story. The sheer glee associated with the sort of maniacal driving you could pull off in games like Burnout is completely absent from Need For Speed: Payback. There is one interesting idea in Need For Speed: Payback: before each event, you can put money on a side-bet, which adds extra targets for that event. Verdict: Don’t play itIt will be fascinating to see

Samsung’s sure to make a big splash with the Galaxy S9 early next year, but it also has a new mid-ranger on the way, in the form of the Samsung Galaxy A5 (2018). We know it’s on the way because Samsung has posted a support page for the phone on its South Korean website. Or rather, it’s posted a page for the SM-A530, but given that the Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) has the model number SM-A520 and the Galaxy A5 (2016) is the SM-A510 there’s little doubt that this is the Galaxy A5 (2018).

Touchscreen Chromebooks are about to get a good deal more flexible when it comes to multitasking with apps in tablet mode, thanks to the introduction of a split-screen view that will allow users to snap two apps side-by-side. This major boon for touchscreen Chromebooks goes under the name of ‘Split View in Tablet Mode’ and once you activate it, the feature shows all of your active windows, and you can snap whichever apps you wish into highlighted areas to view them side-by-side.

Serif has released an update to Affinity Photo, its professional photo-editing application. Affinity Photo 1.6 comes with a raft of performance enhancements, more advanced text options, and new ‘light’ user interface and clever new ‘stabilised’ brush tool for smoother paint effects. Serif says Affinity Photo 1.6 is faster, smoother and more powerful before with improved panning and zooming, and that Live Filters performance has been improved. One of its major selling points is that it offers the

It’s not been the best of launches for Google and the Pixel 2 XL, with widespread reports of screen burn-in issues on new devices and users complaining about muted colors, both problems that Google is investigating. Now there’s a new bug to add to the list: unresponsive spots near the edge of the screen. As per a Pixel User Community post, some Pixel 2 XL owners have been noticing dead spots close to the bezels, specifically on the right-hand edge of the screen. There’s also a video of the probl

Get ready, Instagram, for some astronomically good phone images. “This stacking capability allows for imaging brighter deep sky objects, and it also lets NightCap Camera create star trail images in the device, or capture long exposures showing the motion of bright satellites like the International Space Station.” The beauty of NightCap Camera is that’s it

It would appear the Nintendo Switch is a hit, and in fact Nintendo is so confident in the chances of its ongoing success that it’s planning to ramp up production of the gaming device next year – perhaps putting out as many as 30 million Switches during 2018. That’s according to anonymous sources speaking to The Wall Street Journal, who say that 25-30 million Nintendo Switch devices are planned for the next financial year – which starts in April 2018 – and that figure could go even higher dependi

How much would you pay for a streaming service from Disney? According to the company’s CEO, Robert A. Iger, subscriptions will cost less than the equivalent Netflix packages – though it’s also going to have less content on offer, at least to begin with. “I can say that our plan on the Disney side is to price this substantially below where Netflix is,” said Iger on an earnings call, Engadget reports. Disney has pencilled in 2019 as the launch date for its new service and in the meantime is starti

In March 2018, Singapore Airlines will begin a 19-hour direct service from Singapore to New York aboard a new ‘ultra long-range’ Airbus A350-900ULR. Commercial aviation has lacked an aircraft capable of exceeding the speed of sound since the 2003 retirement of Concorde, which first flew in 1969 and could travel at twice the speed of sound. Several supersonic planes are now on the drawing board that will fly faster than the speed of sound. “Sixty years after the dawn of the jet age, we’re still f
