Every year, a new iPhone is released with better cameras and faster processor. At the same time, the older iPhone models are still there receiving iOS updates, which is great for people who don’t upgrade their phones every year. But how decent are these old iPhones running the latest version of iOS? Well, I tested a first-generation iPhone SE with iOS 15, and it’s still surprisingly good. I decided to write this article after seeing a tweet comparing the iPhone 6s with the Samsung Galaxy S6....

When movie studios hold fan events, they usually screen a scene or montage from the film being promoted and give fans a chance to interact with actors or crew from the movie. Everyone usually has a good time, and the fans get to brag to friends about what they saw and the swag they received (hopefully giving the movie some word-of-mouth hype in the process.) Deadpool fans were expecting something along those lines when Fox held fan events for the movie in New York and Los Angeles on January 18....

Disney Parks’ brand new Star Wars theme park, Galaxy’s Edge, is immersing guests even further into the smuggler sanctuary of Black Spire Outpost by selling lightsaber hilt pieces as scrap metal. The success of Disney’s latest theme park has truly been out-of-this-world, with the park even maxing capacity within an hour on opening day. With demand continuing to skyrocket, Galaxy’s Edge has taken to creating a reservation system for guests to use....

Warning: This article contains SPOILERS for Game of Thrones’ season 7 premiere - The season 7 premiere of Game of Thrones set the scene for the rest of the season, featuring a moment or two with almost every character. Each of the surviving Starks appeared and we saw Cersei plotting in King’s Landing, but the biggest moment by far goes to Daenerys and her entourage coming ashore in Westeros. So momentous and long-awaited is the occasion, the episode is named for it – “Dragonstone....

Game of Thrones’ ending was divisive, to say the least, but fans perhaps should’ve seen much of it coming, because it holds a number of parallels to the conclusion of The Lord of the Rings. George R.R. Martin has long been influenced by J.R.R. Tolkien, and Lord of the Rings has had a big bearing on A Song of Ice and Fire, which was inspired by the sheer number of Tolkien imitators in the fantasy fiction realm....

The Game of Thrones season 8 scripts have revealed how exactly Arya Stark managed to kill the Night King. In one of the biggest unpredictable twists in Game of Thrones season 8, the middle Stark daughter ended up being the one to defeat the White Walker leader at the climax of the dark and deadly “The Long Night.” The surprise was arguably paying off a lot of elements of Game of Thrones’ story; prophetic lines like “what do we say to the God of Death” and killing “blue eyes” were retconned to refer to Arya’s destiny, while her killing attack used light-footedness learned during her time with the Faceless Men, the catspaw dagger that had been repeatedly important, and a knife-drop trick last seen in her spar with Brienne in season 7 all came together in the attack....

The latest trailer for Godzilla: King of the Monsters seems to confirm that King Ghidorah comes from space, making the monster’s original origin story part of MonsterVerse canon. The three-headed monster, one of Godzilla’s oldest and fiercest foes, is making its Western debut in the multi-kaiju sequel, and one of the biggest questions for fans has been what will be carried over from the various Japanese incarnations of the beasts....

Google Fi is officially updating all three of its plans with some much-needed changes that make the service more competitive, with the two Unlimited offerings seeing the biggest improvements. Flexible There are no price changes to the original Flexible plan where you pay $10 per gigabyte of data and a set amount ($16-20) for unlimited calls/texts.

It looks like even more content will be coming to Grand Theft Auto Online in the form of ten vehicles, according to one Rockstar Games leaker. Ever since the opening of the Diamond Casino and Resort inside of Grand Theft Auto Online, players have been able to spin a giant wheel in hopes of winning large amounts of money or in-game prizes like vehicles. Now, it seems like that pool of prizes is about to grow....

Warner Bros. confirms Hal Jordan and John Stewart for their upcoming Green Lantern Corps movie. The studio officially kicked off their burgeoning DC Extended Universe with Zack Snyder’s Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice last year - following up on the director’s 2013 film, Man of Steel - and followed up with David Ayer’s Suicide Squad later that summer and Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman earlier this year. Next up will be to unite their main superheroes - Batman (Ben Affleck), Superman (Henry Cavill), Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), The Flash (Ezra Miller), Aquaman (Jason Momoa), and Cyborg (Ray Fisher) - in Snyder’s Justice League later this fall....

At CES last month, the popular accessory maker Satechi unveiled its new 2-in-1 Headphone Stand, which features a built-in Qi charger in the base.

Doctor Who is soon set to return to our screens for its tenth season (since its 2005 reboot). With this being the last season with Peter Capaldi as the Time Lord, Doctor Who season 10 will also introduce a new companion, Bill Potts, played by Pearl Mackie. In addition, Matt Lucas returns as Nardole, and is listed as a season regular rather than just a one-off guest star. With Capaldi set to stand down after the 2017 Doctor Who Christmas special, talk inevitably turns to who might take over, but for now, the focus should be on the show’s imminent return after an absence of nearly eighteen months....

While some people say that revivals are bad ideas, other fans are incredibly happy to return to the characters that they once spent so many hours with. It’s safe to say that fans of the teen detective Veronica Mars can’t wait for the revival which will premiere this summer. The show ran for three seasons and while there was a movie in 2014, that just wasn’t enough for Marshmallows who love Kristen Bell and the rest of the cast....

The new Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald poster teases a Comic-Con trailer that should arrive tomorrow morning during Warner Bros. Pictures’ Hall H panel. Fans who are waiting to get more sneak peeks at the movie only need a little more patience until that trailer goes live. In Fantastic Beasts 2, Professor Dumbledore (Jude Law) asks for help from former Hogwarts student Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne). That’s because the villainous Grindelwald (Johnny Depp) is on the loose and recruiting allies to start a war to enable pureblood witches and wizards ruling both the magical and non-magical world....

Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers already has post-launch plans, detailed for the first time recently in the latest Square Enix producer live letter hosted on Twitch. The upcoming expansion marks the third major content release since Final Fantasy XIV first debuted as an MMO, and the game has since accumulated a massive playerbase that rivals World of Warcraft. Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers will also mark the first time that the game shifts from focusing on the Hero of Light and into the darkness, with a storyline revelation that makes the sides of good and evil significantly less cut and dry than they were in previous expansions....

Evan Rachel Wood and Sterling K. Brown are in talks to join the voice cast of Disney’s animated musical movie sequel, Frozen 2. Assuming they sign on, the Westworld and This Is Us actors will be accompanied by returning cast members from the first Frozen, which include Kristen Bell as Princess Anna of Arendelle, Idina Menzel as Arendelle’s magically-powered queen and Anna’s sister Elsa, and Josh Gad as the pair’s enchanted snowman pal Olaf....

Marvel may have shut down Donald Glover’s animated Deadpool show, but FX CEO John Landgraf believes the company will eventually revisit the idea and make the series happen. Deadpool fans were excited when they heard Glover and his brother Stephen, the creative team behind the acclaimed FX series Atlanta, were developing an animated version of Deadpool for the same network. But fans’ dreams of a hilarious, highly adult Deadpool animated series airing on one of cable’s most envelope-pushing networks were shattered when the project was abruptly canceled....

The upcoming Game of Thrones prequel series titled The Long Night may not include dragons. In HBO’s hit show, the mythical creatures have been featured heavily, mostly due to Daenerys Targaryen’s character. Daenerys raised three dragons, Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion since they were babies. Over the last seven seasons, fans have gotten to watch the dragons grow and become immensely powerful beasts. It was once believed that multiple Game of Thrones spinoffs were coming from HBO, but for now, The Long Night is the only one in active development....

It took a long, long time for Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Future Soldier to release after multiple delays and when it finally did in 2012 it felt a tad too late to its own party. Its successor however, first unveiled by Ubisoft last year at E3 2015, seems right on track and perfectly timed with the types of shooters dominating the market. Embracing a complete open-world for the first time in the franchise, the biggest open world to ever be used in an Ubisoft action-adventure game, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands fills its Bolivian setting with dynamic environments end events, and a variety of of objectives, missions, and terrain types....
