Apple’s iPhone X Could Ship With A Newer Build Of iOS 11

Whenever Apple launches a new iPhones, it’s pretty much a guarantee that the new iPhone will be shipped with the latest build of iOS. In the case of the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, they are expected to ship with iOS 11 which is expected to be released on the 19th of September, but for the iPhone X, Apple could ship it with a newer build.

According to a recent sighting on Geekbench (via BGR), an iPhone was spotted running on iOS 11.1, which presumably is the next major update expected for the iOS 11 software. The benchmark does not mention the iPhone by name, but rather it refers to the handset as the “iPhone 10,6”, which when you think about how the iPhone 8 Plus is the “iPhone 10,5”, it makes sense that this is the iPhone X.

At the moment we’re not sure what kind of changes or new features will be part of iOS 11.1, but it shouldn’t be surprising that Apple might have an update that they’re already working on. It wasn’t too long ago that the iOS 11 GM was leaked, meaning that iOS 11 is already more or less done and Apple’s focus should be on future updates.

That being said, the iPhone X is only slated for a release on the 3rd of November, which means that for Apple to release iOS 11.1 then wouldn’t really be that much of a stretch, but either way we’ll have to wait and see. In the meantime the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus are currently available for pre-order.

Overwatch Free Weekend Announced For 22-25 September

Blizzard’s Overwatch is one of the more popular games available at the moment and we’re sure that there are many who are curious about it. Unfortunately for gamers Blizzard does not have a trial version of the game available yet, which means that you’ll have to purchase it and then figure out if it’s the game for you.

Alternatively you could wait until next week because according to Blizzard, they will be making Overwatch free to play next weekend. Note that gamers will still have to purchase the game if they want to keep playing it after the free weekend has ended, but from the 22nd to the 25th of September, gamers will be able to take the game for a free spin.

The best part is that there will be no limitations to what gamers can do during the free weekend. According to Blizzard, “For this free weekend, we’re making Overwatch’s full roster of 25 heroes and 16 maps available for play in a variety of modes, including Quick Play, Custom Games, and the Arcade. Players will also have the ability to level up, earn Loot Boxes, and unlock a variety of different customization options.”

Gamers who choose to purchase the game after the free weekend will be able to pick up where they left off. This is not the first time Blizzard has hosted a free weekend for Overwatch, and we doubt it will be the last either. The Overwatch Free Weekend will be applicable for PS4, Xbox One, and PC gamers.
