Someone Apparently Gave An Iphone 14 Pro Max A Curved Screen

Even though the Cupertino-based tech giant appears to have succumbed to some innovations not of their own, it still continues to reject others. One of which being curved displays; a feature that is often reserved for premium-tiered Android smartphones. But if you ever wondered how a current generation iPhone would look like featuring a curved display, fret not. Someone has apparently gone through the trouble to make that a reality – not through 3D renders or sketches, but by modifying an actual Apple smartphone....

Someone In Malaysia Sold Access To Their Ps5 For Others To Redeem The Ps Plus Collection

For context, the PS Plus Collection is a selection of the best games that are playable on the PS4. The catch is that you’ll need to have a PS5 in order to claim it, in addition to a PS Plus subscription. And so, in addition to owning a PS5 way ahead of time, some have decided to make some quick bucks by selling access to their PS5. This will allow others access to the PS Plus Collection early, or even without owning the next generation console....

Sony Chief Says Door Is Closed On Spider Man In The Mcu New Spider Verse To Launch

This news was a huge bummer considering Spider-Man has been used exceptionally well in the MCU under the guidance of Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige. At the time of the initial reports, nothing seemed to have been finalised just yet and many fans were hopeful that Disney and Sony would arrive at a compromise. However, recent interviews with Kevin Feige and Tom Holland have indicated that the ship has probably sailed....

Sony May Be Getting Ps3 Emulation To Work On Ps5

But it looks like that may change sometime in the future. According to Jeff Grubb during the GamesBeat Decides podcast, he says that “Sony might be working on emulation for PS3, for PS5”, citing insider sources. He also notes that “it might take some time”. The exclusion of PS3 games in markets without PS Now streaming services was a massive omission from the expanded PS Plus service. Even in places with the service, the fact that PS3 games are only accessed via streaming and not downloads was a point of contention....

Special Oneplus 8T Cyberpunk 2077 Edition Could Launch On 4 November

News of the special edition Cyberpunk 2077 OnePlus 8T was first broken by the Russian game site, iXBT. Existence of the alleged phone was first made during a press conference by the brand, seemingly in Russia. Unsurprisingly, there is not a whole lot of information as to what we can expect from the phone, save for the fact that it will also be a limited edition device. Based on prior experience with limited edition devices, it’s possible that the difference would be primarily cosmetic, with perhaps some additional software and skins in the phone’s OS....

Spider Man Far From Home Falcon Was Initially Supposed To Appear As Captain America

The question is, when will we see Sam Wilson in action as Captain America? The Disney Plus series Falcon & Winter Soldier which is set to stream next year would seem like the most likely scenario. However, there was a point when Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige and creative executive Eric Carroll considered including Falcon as Captain America in Spider-Man: Far From Home. In an interview with ComicBook.com, Carroll said:...

The Batman Starring Robert Pattinson Will Not Be Another Origin Story

Interestingly, The Batman will not be another standard origin story, in the sense that we won’t be seeing the character evolve from Bruce Wayne into Gotham’s Dark Knight. In other words, this will not tread a similar path as Nolan’s Batman Begins. Instead, it appears as though Reeves will re-introduce us to the character rather similarly to the way we got introduced to Tom Holland’s Spider-Man in the MCU. In an interview with Nerdist, Reeves said: Reeves also mentioned that he was initially worried that his pitch would be rejected by Warner Bros, as he wanted to prioritize humanism instead of action and spectacle....
