When Apple announced its Apple One service bundles, it immediately raised a query for many: those with different Apple IDs for iCloud and Apple Music. Would the system cope with that situation, allowing them to take advantage of the savings? Apple’s longest-serving employee, Chris Espinosa, has just confirmed that this will be fine … Background Many people have a single Apple ID that they use for everything Apple, but others have ended up with separate Apple IDs and iCloud logins....

Walt Disney Pictures is planning to unveil their own streaming service in the near future, and it has the potential to be a $25 billion asset for the company.

Disney distributes works from subsidiaries such as Marvel, Lucasfilm, and Pixar, in addition to releasing their own in-house content (see: their animation division)....

I’m rather pleased about that. This trip was 100% leisure, so I wanted to go as lightweight and simple as possible. There was going to be a lot of planes, trains, and automobiles, so I didn’t want to be weighed down like a beast of burden. But I wanted to take a drone with me. Initially, I’d planned on only taking one drone on my travels – the DJI Mini 2....

A new TV spot for Detective Pikachu includes a bit that lightly mocks Pokémon mania. In some respects, the film has the potential to be this generation’s Who Framed Roger Rabbit; the entertaining live-action/animation hybrid that puts a fun spin on noir concepts as its protagonists try to solve a mystery that goes deeper than they initially thought. Based on all of the marketing materials released thus far, Detective Pikachu looks to be one of the most creative offerings of the summer, and Warner Bros....

Star Trek: Discovery has finally given viewers an on-screen explanation for the Klingons being bald, claiming that shaving their hair is a wartime tradition. Among the many ways Star Trek: Discovery season 1 was controversial was its portrayal of the Klingons. The iconic warrior race was suddenly much more alien, with monstrous prosthetics, much more varied skin colors, and bald heads. There’s a long history of Star Trek tweaking the look the of the Klingons; in The Original Series, Klingons appeared as essentially dark-skinned humans, and were more a race of schemers than warriors....

The second installment of Matt’s Groening’s Disenchantment was released on Netflix in September, and it asked more questions than it answered.

Although the series has been criticized, the second installment featured several highlights involving Dreamland’s wayward princess....

It will also include a whole lot of lesser-known older films and series, as Disney announced this week....

The popular MCU ended its Infinity Saga with Avengers: Endgame earlier this year. The movie broke many box office records and even bested Titanic at the global box office. The MCU also added Captain Marvel and Spider-Man: Far From Home to its roster this year, culminating in a massively successful year for Marvel....

Apple has reportedly started development work on a new type of display for foldable iPhones or iPads. The technology described is similar to that used in Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 3. One of the challenges of creating robust foldable screens is making them thin enough to survive continual folding and unfolding for a number of years … OLED screens originally had separate layers for every function needed to make the display work: backlighting, content, touch, filtering, protection, and so on....

One of the most pressing questions about the iPhone X in the lead up to its announcement was whether Face ID would be a worthy replacement for Touch ID. The switch to an all-screen design means that Apple has dropped the Home button – and right along with it, Touch ID.
