When Samsung gets around to releasing the next-generation of its Galaxy Fold, as it’s expected to do possibly in April 2020, the foldable may end up looking even weirder than it already does.

It seems that Samsung is toying with the idea of giving the notch that houses the camera and other sensors a vertical placement on one side of the front display, a new aesthetic touch for a handset that looks to be otherwise pretty similar in appearance to the first generation of the Fold.

To a certain extent, Apple is in something of a “damned if they do, damned if they don’t” situation when it comes to new software releases. If Apple rolls out an update that focuses on improving overall performance and system reliability — as was the case with iOS 12 — the company is criticized for not introducing innovative new features. On the flip side, if Apple rolls out a software update teeming with new features, there are inevitably a slew of bugs Apple needs to work through. We saw this play out recently when Apple released a beta of iOS 13.1 before iOS 13 had even shipped.

The situation is just as bad on the Mac side of the equation. Even though the recently released macOS Catalina update isn’t chock full of new features, many users have experienced any number of frustrating usability issues since updating their system. Compounding matters is the fact that many users are running into glitches during the installation process itself. While it stands to reason that Apple will inevitably get around to shoring things up, one can’t help but wonder why Apple these days seems to have a hard time rolling out new iOS and macOS updates that work seamlessly right from the start.

When you’re a kid, few toys are as cool as radio-controlled vehicles. There’s just something awesome about piloting a tiny vehicle from afar, and even as an adult, it can quickly put a smile on your face. Luca Parmitano, a European Space Agency astronaut, will soon have the privilege of remotely controlling a particularly high-tech vehicle, and he’s going to do it from space.

Parmitano, who is currently serving as commander of Expedition 61 aboard the International Space Station, will be participating in an experiment called ANALOG-1, which will task him with controlling robotic rover back on Earth. Yeah, it’s just as cool as it sounds.

Starting at just $449, the iPhone 8 is the cheapest iPhone you can buy from Apple right now. It’s also the only phone that Apple sells with Touch ID still on board. However, that iPhone features two-year-old hardware, which isn’t ideal for everyone. You could go for the more expensive iPhone XR ($599) or iPhone 11 ($699) instead, as long as you don’t mind switching to Face ID, getting used to a bigger phone size, and paying slightly more. Or you could just wait, as Apple’s next affordable iPhone seems to be on the way.

Well, I have to confess. I didn’t think the news cycle emanating from legendary director Martin Scorsese’s fuddy-duddy criticism that Marvel movies aren’t ‘cinema’ would last as long as it has, partly because it’s of the “Sheesh, kids today” variety and so clearly a bit elitist. But then everybody started piling on. Actors like Samuel L. Jackson and Robert Downey Jr., along with Marvel directors James Gunn and Joss Whedon and others all rushed to the defense of the superhero movie genre in general and to Marvel specifically. But then venerable Godfather director Francis Ford Coppola saw Scorsese’s comments and decided to up the ante, blasting Marvel films as “despicable.”

Not to be outdone, Disney CEO Bob Iger — the executive whose media company owns Marvel — has now come out swinging himself, rushing to the defense of his company’s Marvel division and lamenting that the two director’s anti-Marvel comments are “disrespectful” (We’ll have to wait and see if this finally puts the issue to bed or not).

In part because of the massive pile of money Amazon shelled out to acquire the rights, the retail giant’s forthcoming Lord of the Rings series — which tells an all-new story that’s set within the universe of J. R. R. Tolkien’s fictional world — is one of the most highly anticipated streaming projects on the drawing board anywhere at the moment. It’s being filmed in New Zealand, the same place where director Peter Jackson shot his LOTR and Hobbit movies, which should contribute to the same evocative cinematography, and it’s set during the era Tolkien has described as the Second Age of Middle Earth.

We don’t know too much else about the series at this point, though some recent news about actor choices has trickled out. This week, we got yet another — Joseph Mawle, who played the youngest brother of Ned Stark on Game of Thrones, has also been tapped for a role, believed to be that of Oren, the main villain in the series. And we have yet another leak to enjoy.

Apple just launched its newest iPhone series and the iPhone 11 is already selling better than anticipated. But that doesn’t mean we have long to wait before details start leaking about Apple’s 2020 iPhones, which we’re calling iPhone 12 series for lack of a better name. Next year’s iPhone is supposed to deliver a few significant updates, including a brand new design as well as 5G connectivity. That’s something we’ve heard from several sources already, and it all makes sense. The iPhone 11 marks the third consecutive year when Apple used the same iPhone X design, which is not surprising, considering the iPhone 6 design survived for four years without any major changes. It also makes a lot of sense to see 5G iPhones in stores next fall, as 5G coverage expands around the world. But a new rumor might give us more details about the iPhone 12 phones, and Apple is supposedly testing several prototypes.
