Two weeks before their expected announcement, we just got our first good look at some of Apple’s new devices courtesy of 9to5Mac. Say hello the iPhone XS and Apple Watch Series 4. The iPhone XS leak appears to be an official render of the upcoming 5.8 and 6.5-inch flagship models, but the image doesn’t reveal anything we didn’t expect. That said, it does seem to confirm two different sizes of the device, and that they’ll come in a gold trim. The bezels also look a tiny bit smaller than on the current 5.8-inch model, but it’s hard to tell without a…

In two tweets early Tuesday morning, President Trump reignited the debate about censorship on America’s most popular tech platforms. Citing dubious research, he claimed that Google was censoring search results in an effort to smear the Trump administration. He said: Pegging tech platforms as liberal conduits isn’t new. Accusing them of silencing conservative voices isn’t either. Google, for its part, denies any culpability. A spokesperson told The Washington Post: When users type queries into the Google Search bar, our goal is to make sure they receive the most relevant answers in a matter of seconds. Search is not used to…

It’s official: After another year’s worth of rumors and speculation, Apple will reveal its next batch of iPhones on September 12 at 10AM PDT. The reveal will happen at the Steve Jobs Theater within Apple’s circular headquarters, which is probably what the big bronze circle on the invite is all about. That said, that’s also where last year’s iPhone X was revealed, so we’re not sure why Apple is emphasizing the new campus on the logo this time around; perhaps there will be some news surrounding Apple Park this time. Based on current rumors, we’re expecting three iPhones: an update…

Electronic Arts and DICE today announced they would be delaying the release of their biggest game of the year, Battlefield V. Those of us spoiled gamers who might have lost it in the crowded fall season will now have the game near the Thanksgiving holiday. Oskar Gabrielson, general manager at DICE, announced the main reason they’re pushing the game back is because, following feedback from alpha players and Gamescom attendees, they intend to make “meaningful improvements to the core gameplay experience.” The beta is still set to go live next week, but the game‘s actual release has been moved to November 20.…

Honor today lifted the lid on its upcoming flagship phone at Berlin’s IFA 2018 tech trade show, the Honor Magic 2. Honor Magic 2 😱🤔🤫 pic.twitter.com/qv06xiK9bR — Clinton Jeff (@clintonjeff) August 30, 2018 The Honor Magic 2 is somewhat of a departure from Honor’s typical fare, which usually floats within the low-to-upper-mid ranges of the smartphone market. It’s decidedly high-end, with specs and design innovations to match. For starters, it boasts a completely notchless full-view screen, with an almost 100 percent screen-to-body ratio. This is accomplished by putting the front-facing camera and speakers on a pannel that slides up during…
