The quest to offer an ‘all display’ iPhone has commenced, but Apple has slowly been progressing to that stage where its devices no longer feature cutouts of any sort. We first saw the notch debuted on the iPhone X, followed by a smaller notch on the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max. Next, the company switched things up with the Dynamic Island. For the truly ‘bezel-less’ iPhone, LG Innotek has been added to the suppliers' list that will reportedly supply Apple with the under-display camera (UDC), but the first wave of ‘all-screen’ iPhones are not expected to arrive […]
There was little doubt that the GTA VI trailer would do well in terms of viewership. Still, the debut video of Rockstar's massively anticipated new game surpassed even the rosiest expectations.

BTS remains on top […]

Yesterday, after literally years of speculation, rumors, and leaks, Rockstar finally dropped the first teaser for Grand Theft Auto VI. The trailer has gone over well for the most part, although some were surprised to note that the game will only be launching on Xbox Series X/S and PS5, not PC. Rockstar has made a habit of this over the years, but the industry has changed and outside of console exclusives either developed or paid for by Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft, it’s extremely rare these days for a big AAA game to be released exclusively on console without a PC […]
