Avengers: The Kang Dynasty is practically Schrodinger’s Marvel movie at this point. It’s lost its director (Shang-Chi‘s Destin Daniel Cretton), its original writer (Quantumania‘s Jeff Loveness), and it could well ditch its titular character too. So does it still exist or doesn’t it? Apparently, it does, according to the latest development on the Avengers 5 front, one which seems to be delivering exactly what the fandom have been wanting on one hand, and doing the exact opposite on the other.

Even Sunbird admits iMessage on Android is a bad idea, shuts down ‘for now’

Last week we saw Nothing, the Android phone maker founded by Carl Pei of OnePlus fame, announce that it was bringing iMessage support to its latest phone via a collaboration with Sunbird. At the time Sunbird might have gone under the radar a little bit, but it was already offering an invitation-only service for all Android phones that allowed them to send and receive iMessages.That all seemed like a very bad idea, not least because the prospect of handing over the keys to your Apple ID felt like the kind of thing that…
