While Pokémon Go may have lost some of its shine due to a number of problems like poorly run public events and a divisive invitation-only special battle system, the mobile game still has a decent fanbase. The developers have been adding new li…
One of the unique features of the Nintendo Switch’s hardware is that the left Joy-Con comes with a dedicated button that allows gamers to capture screenshots easily. However for gamers hoping to do more than just capture screenshots, you’ll be pleased to learn that Nintendo has updated the firmware of the console to include video capture as well.
Nintendo has recently pushed out a firmware update to the Switch that will bump it up to version 4.0. Like we said, one of the new features is the ability to capture video, although it has been noted on the changelog that it is only enabled for “select games”. To capture a video, users just need to press and hold down on the screenshot button and it will begin recording.

In addition to the video capture feature, the update will also introduce new profile icons based on Super Mario Odyssey and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It will also allow gamers to transfer user profiles and save data to another system, and it has also added the option for gamers to pre-purchase certain games within the Nintendo eShop.
The update should already be live so if you haven’t updated your Switch yet, just fire up your console to get things going.

With Apple introducing a new family of iPhones in the iPhone X, one has to wonder what this means for 2018 onwards. Will Apple eventually phase out the older iPhone models that still retains a physical home button, or will Apple continue to push multiple families of iPhone models?
It seems that the former could be a possibility, but it won’t be happening so quick as it sounds like Apple will be making the transition gradually. A report from China’s Economic Daily (via AppleInsider) has revealed that Apple could have two iPhones in the works for 2018 that could borrow some, not all, of the iPhone X’s features but be sold at a lower price. The handsets in question are said to be codenamed “Lisbon” and “Hangzhou”.
As to how much cheaper they could be, Japanese publication Macotakara has suggested that we could be looking at around a $90 decrease, which means that prices of the new iPhones could start at around $900, versus $999 which is the base price of the iPhone X. It is also unclear what this means for the iPhone X itself.
It was not mentioned as to what kind of features are expected to be borrowed from the iPhone X, but we have heard rumors that have suggested that Apple is looking to bring Face ID onto future iOS devices, so that’s one possibility, but either way take it with a grain of salt for now as it is probably still a bit too early to tell.

China is notorious when it comes to online censorship and also dictating what can or cannot be accessed on the internet, which is why it did not really come as a surprise to learn that the Apple Watch Series 3’s cellular connectivity feature has been blocked in the country following concerns about its eSIM.
This is according to a report from The Wall Street Journal who has suggested that the eSIM could be one of the reasons why cellular connectivity has been blocked. The report reads, “The benefit of a device carrying an eSIM is that, with software, users can choose a telecom operator and a communications plan. But in China, that new system raises the question of how carriers and regulators can track the device user’s identity.”
It is interesting that China has only chosen now to block it, especially after local telco China Unicom had offered cellular service for the Apple Watch late September, only to cut off access to it saying that it was only offered on a trial basis. Apple has since released a statement confirming that the feature had been suspended.
“We were informed by China Unicom that the new cellular feature on the Apple Watch Series 3 has been suspended.” It is unclear when this will be resolved, but for now it looks like Apple Watch customers in China should probably wait or opt for the WiFi-only model.

When it comes to our smartphone displays, usually we have to settle with whatever the handset maker has decided to use, which is why sometimes displays play a big part in choosing which phone to go for and which brand or model. However sometimes handset makers do offer users the ability to customize their displays, and this is something Google is considering as well.
In a statement made to 9to5Google, the company has confirmed that they are considering adding more display color options to its Pixel 2 handsets in future software updates. According to Google, “We know that some people prefer more vivid colors, so we’ve added an option to boost colors by 10% for more saturation. We’ll continue to pay close attention to people’s responses to Pixel, and we will consider adding more display color options through software if that makes the product better.”
It should be noted that the Pixel 2 handsets will have vivid color options enabled by default, but so far it seems that it doesn’t appear to be as vibrant compared to the likes of OLED handsets from Samsung, the original Pixel, or even the LG V30. Whether or not this is something that Google will address remains to be seen, but we guess it’s good to know that they aren’t completely closed off to the idea.

It used to be back in the day that whenever you made a purchase using your credit card that you would have to sign the receipt to acknowledge the purchase, as well as proving that you are who you say you are. However these days things are changing and according to Mastercard (via MacRumors), signatures will soon be completely eliminated.
The company has announced that starting in April 2018, customers in the US and Canada will no longer have to sign their receipts for both debit and credit card purchases. According to Linda Kirkpatrick, an Executive Vice President at Mastercard, “Our secure network and state-of-the art systems combined with new digital payment methods that include chip, tokenization, biometrics, and specialized digital platforms use newer and more secure methods to prove identity.”
It should be noted that there are many markets around the world where signatures are no longer required for credit/debit card purchases. Instead contactless payments are becoming increasingly common for smaller purchases, and for larger purchases, customers are instead required to enter a PIN which is more secure than a signature which can be easily forged, or if the cashier does not bother to check against it.
It is also expected that this could result in faster purchases using platforms like Apple Pay, where there are certain instances where a signature is still required for purchases over $50 in the US.
