The iPhone has long been well-regarded for its photographic capabilities, but as of late it’s becoming quite the outstanding tool for videographers as well. For example, with the iPhone 8 and the iPhone X, Apple has stepped up the device’s video feature set, adding both 24 and 60 frames per second options for 4K video capture. But when it comes to capturing rich and dynamic video content, the iPhone hardware is only half of the equation....

It might not be Halloween anymore, but that doesn’t mean we’re not still thinking about The Rocky Horror Picture Show. In fact, true fans spend all year waiting for the midnight premieres, only so we can throw rice at the screen and yell obscenities in public. Despite its cult following, one thing that can’t be denied is how dysfunctional the relationships are throughout the timeline of this film. From a Transexual Transylvania to full-on swingers (ahem, Janet and Brad), it’s an NSFW masterpiece....

As battle royale sensation Apex Legends continues to pick up steam, the rumor mill has begun grinding away; one of the game’s suspected new Legends, Octane, was recently leaked online in a pair of images. Each can be found below, with one screenshot possibly revealing the Legends’ abilities and another picture showing a frontal view of his character model. So far, this is just a rumor and should be taken with a healthy grain of salt, but it’s a fairly compelling piece of evidence of what Apex Legends players can expect....

For example: by using the QRL Jacking tool, the attacker can create a phishing page of the WhatsApp web’s QR Code. When the victim scans this QR Code from his/her device, the generated authentication token is then sent to the attacker’s server. The attacker then verifies the authentication token from the WhatsApp web website; he can then see the victim’s messages. How QRL jacking works The attacker generates a QR session and clones the Login QR code into a phishing website....

Queen claims Bohemian Rhapsody critics don’t know how to enjoy movies. The multi-Oscar winning 2018 biopic told the tale of rock n’ roll icon Freddie Mercury and his journey to lead one of the most popular bands of all time, Queen. The film’s road to success got off to a troubled start when Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat, Who Is America?), who was originally slated to play Mercury, ultimately stepped down due to his disagreement with the surviving members of Queen over what type of biopic they wanted to make....

Quentin Tarantino reveals Kill Bill 3 may become a reality, and that it’s still in the cards. It has been 16 years since Tarantino’s Kill Bill: Volume 1 was first released. The instant classic was followed by Kill Bill: Volume 2 the year after, though some consider them to be a single movie. While fans have been waiting patiently to find out if they’d see Beatrix Kiddo (Uma Thurman), aka the Bride/Black Mamba again, there haven’t been any major developments....

A rare prototype second-generation iPod Classic has made its way to eBay this weekend. Offered up by user “TheAppleGuru,” the device has a red internal board dated 2002. The neat piece of product is currently listed for a whopping $99,995. As you can see in the image above, right underneath the Apple logo on the back of the device is “P95 DVT” branding, which is believed to be an internal name for the iPod Classic....

Last night, Apple officially announced that it was buying Intel’s smartphone modem division in a $1 billion deal. Apple will acquire a patent pool and around 2,200 employees. Naturally, Apple wants to use this talent to accelerate the development of its own modems. A Reuters report quotes sources that says Apple wants to ship an in-house 5G modem in its devices as soon as 2021. For 2019, the iPhone 11 will not be a 5G-capable device....

A report from often-reliable Japanese site Makotakara says that a new 10.9-inch iPad rumored for release early next year will have the same footprint as the current 9.7-inch iPad Pro, despite the larger screen size. Citing an ‘informed’ supply-chain source in Taiwan, the site says that the larger screen size will be offset by smaller bezels. The top bezel containing the FaceTime camera is said to remain, while the Home button will be removed and side bezels reduced …...

Blue Microphones is known for its high-end studio mics and, in recent years, iOS recording accessories. Not too long ago, I had a chance to check out Blue’s Spark Digital which is a USB/Lightning/30-pin microphone compatible with a wide range of devices. Today we’re looking at something a bit more portable. Blue’s Mikey Digital is a stereo condenser microphone. It’s now available with a Lightning connection and will provide on-the-go high quality audio for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch....

My conclusion in my Skeptic’s Apple Watch diary series was that the device didn’t really have a unique selling-point to me, but was a slightly more convenient way to receive notifications. Ultimately, though, I kept it because it was a cool gadget. The same argument, I think, would have to be deployed to justify what are really a couple of fun toys that happen to alert you to notifications: Dotti and Notti … Dotti is a 6....

It doesn’t seem that long since we had a choice to make when it came to external drives: we could opt for spinning metal drives if we wanted high capacities at affordable prices, or SSD if we wanted fast transfer speeds, were willing to compromise on capacity and were prepared to pay the substantial premium. But that’s beginning to change … We’re seeing SSD capacities rise and prices fall, and G-Technology is now taking available of the far greater robustness of a solid-state drive to offer a rugged drive that can handle almost anything you can throw at it....

It’s been a while since we’ve checked in on the state of iPhone and iPad controllers, but I have seen some improvements since we first covered some of the shortcomings with the early batch of game controllers that came out under Apple’s Made-for-iPhone licensing program. Today I’m taking a look at the new Tt eSports Contour MFi controller, a new $65 option that includes a classic Xbox-style design and a built-in stand to hold your iPhone and turn it into a true handheld game console....

Nearly a decade of life is good for a processor, but as workloads evolve and projects built on the Pi get more and more complex, it was starting to show its age. I recently attempted to use a Pi Zero WH to drive a 4-inch touch screen for a simple monitoring project, and quickly swapped it out for a Raspberry Pi 4. At the same time, supplies of the Pi Zero started to dry up, faster than expected with the current chip famine....

Top photo courtesy of Aaron Zollo. This morning at 11:00 A.M., Apple opened its redesigned retail store in Charlotte, North Carolina’s SouthPark Mall. The new Apple SouthPark is the second Apple store in North Carolina to offer the full Today at Apple experience and most modern retail design.

With only five locations across the entire state including the relic Apple Southpoint, today’s expansion is significant for customers in surrounding areas....
