Galaxy S23 Ultra design isn’t a copy of Galaxy S22 Ultra

Samsung‘s upcoming Galaxy S23 Ultra may be identical to the Galaxy S22 Ultra from last year, but it certainly isn’t a copy-paste from the company’s design team. They did change a few things. Leaks have previously shown that edges are now fatter (less rounded) than before. We have also heard that the camera circles are bigger. The latter rumor has just been confirmed in a side-by-side comparison of the current and upcoming Ultra. It also revealed a slightly lower positioning of the power and volume buttons.Popular Samsung…

M3GAN’s Body Double Isn’t Just a Killer Dancer, but a Karate Master

As the titular character of M3GAN seems set to enter the horror hall of fame, the director of the already critically acclaimed movie, Gerard Johnstone, claims that a lot of this is down to the young actress who literally embodies the murderous doll.

She draws the eye in every scene she is in, whether she is sitting silently at the table or…

If some of your albums aren't sounding quite right on Apple Music, you're not alone. There's a possible bug affecting gapless playback for some iPhone and iPad users in iOS/iPadOS 16.2, according to posts on Reddit and in Apple's support forums (via 9to5Mac). Gapless playback, which Apple has supported across multiple platforms for many years, occurs when music seamlessly transitions from one song to the next without interruption.

The Best ‘Fantastic Four’ Movie Ever Made Isn’t Even a Marvel Project

When the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Fantastic Four reboot finally comes to theaters in February 2025, it isn’t going to have to work very hard to go down in the history books as the team’s best-ever cinematic outing. In fact, WandaVision director Matt Shakman’s stab at the iconic superheroes will mark the fifth feature-length adventure for Marvel’s First Family with a fourth different lineup, and the very best of them could exceedingly generously be described as passable at best.
