Apple’s reportedly flat iPhone production target for 2022 isn’t a great sign

Apple, one of the biggest tech companies on the planet, reportedly doesn’t think it’ll sell any more iPhones this year than it did last year, despite rumors that the iPhone 14 will come with some major improvements (via MacRumors). While it’s not necessarily a canary in the coal mine (or a Waffle House being closed) that the world will keep getting worse, Apple predicting that sales of its most popular product won’t grow could be a sign that the company’s relatively pessimistic about the state of things in the near…

Kuo: iPhone 14 Max production is delayed but that isn’t Apple’s biggest threat

Ming-Chi Kuo has backed up a previous report suggesting that the new iPhone 14 Max is behind schedule in terms of production, but the analyst also suggests that won't be Apple's biggest issue with this year's launch. Writing on Twitter, Kuo agreed with a previous report that iPhone 14 Max production is delayed by as many as three weeks thanks to recent factory closures. Shanghai COVID-19 lockdowns have hampered the production of various products, Apple's iPhone included. However, Kuo believes that production is "still…

Total Recall isn’t the worst NES game despite its efforts – Destructoid

You make me wish I had three hands I have a history with Total Recall on NES. Not only has it been frequently trashed by everyone I’ve ever looked up to, but it also soured my early retro gaming experience. We had an NES growing up, but my family sold it for an SNES while I was still too young to care. I reacquired one when I was a teenager and it came with potentially the worst assortment of games I could have started with: Kid Icarus, Castlevania 2, and Total Recall. It would be years later that Punch-Out!! and River…

Nick Cannon On YSL Indictment: ‘The System Isn’t Designed For Us’

Nick Cannon is opening up about the YSL indictment. Just two weeks after Young Thug, Gunna, and YSL were hit with Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act charges, Cannon spoke with HotNewHipHop about the implications of all that’s gone down in the “heartbreaking” case. As he explains, nobody deserves to “live in a box.”“Those brothers, one thing we’ve seen of them is their love for their people and their love for their community,” Cannon shared. “For someone to try to come after them because they feel…

Intel isn’t at Computex, and that could kill Arc Alchemist

Intel isn’t hosting a keynote this year at Computex, which kicks off just next week. That’s strange for a company that opened the show last year with an executive presentation. It’s even more notable since all eyes have been on Computex to finally see what Intel has been working on with Arc Alchemist. We were already worried about these new GPUs due to delays and mixed messaging from Intel. But the lack of a keynote this year suggests that the range of new GPUs might be in even more trouble than we thought. The clock…

Apex Legends Mobile isn’t a great fit for small screens

Apex Legends is one of those multiplayer games I love, but am terrible at. When I was invited to a press demo for the game’s limited-time Control mode earlier this year, I was thoroughly embarrassed as my peers routinely downed me with a headshot from across the map. I’ve always wanted to play it more than I do, but I never felt cut out for the twitchy world of PC players. Apex Legends Mobile solves that issue for me, though it creates some new problems of its own in the process. The standalone mobile version of the…

Qualcomm announces Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1, for when flagship isn’t flagship enough

Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 set the stage for the biggest Android smartphones of 2022, including Samsung’s flagship Galaxy — but it’s about to be surpassed by a better “Plus” version that’ll no doubt appear in buy-it-for-the-bragging-rights gaming phones and luxury handsets. It’s called the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1, which just rolls off the tongue, and Qualcomm says it’ll offer 10 percent faster CPU performance, 10 percent faster GPU clocks, and — get this — use 15 percent less power for “nearly 1 hour” of extra…

While Fantastic Beasts 4 Isn’t A Sure Thing, Warner Bros. Reportedly Still Looking To Move Forward With J.K. Rowling And Harry…

After the middling box office performance of Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, the future of the franchise is unclear. While Fantastic Beasts 4 isn’t a sure thing, Warner Bros. certainly doesn't seem to have given up on new Wizarding World of Harry Potter projects, and reportedly they are set meet with J.K Rowlding in the near future. HBO Max subscribers, you’re going to want to hear this.  The main mover and shaker that’s supposedly going all in on Rowling’s creations, per the Wall Street Journal, is…
