With the focus on superheroes and sci-fi films in general, you’d think that good old-fashioned fantasy franchises are passe. Warner Bros. definitely doesn’t think so. In fact, it just created a new label named Portkey Games solely dedicated to one of the most beloved magical franchises of all: Harry Potter. On the heels of the AR-based Harry Potter Wizards Unite, … Continue reading

While the wearable market might be packed with all kinds of devices and brands (the Fossil Group is responsible for quite a few themselves), it seems that at the end of the day, it looks like Apple could have walked away the winner of it all, or that’s according Canalys analyst Vincent Thielke.
In an email sent to Mashable, Thielke claims that based on the company’s findings, Apple has apparently shipped 34.4 million Apple Watches to date since its release in 2015. He claims that this means that Apple accounts for a little over half of all smartwatches ever shipped. “Apple has shipped 34.4 million smartwatches worldwide since it entered the category in 2015. In other words, Apple accounts for 51.6 percent of all smartwatches ever shipped.”
That being said, we should advise you to take those numbers with a grain of salt. This is because ever since the Apple Watch has been released, Apple has yet to offer up an official figure in terms of shipments, units sold, and how much money they’ve made from it. At the same time, this isn’t the first time that we are hearing about the Apple Watch’s dominance in the wearable industry.
Apple recently launched the Apple Watch Series 3, which is the 3rd-gen Apple Watch released so far. One of the key changes, which appears to have sat well with many based on reviews, is the addition of LTE support, where Apple Watch users no longer need to be tethered to their iPhone.

Last week it was reported that Blizzard was planning on bringing back the Overwatch “Winter Wonderland” event to celebrate Christmas. Given Blizzard’s penchant for celebrating the holidays in their own Blizzard-y way, this didn’t really come as a surprise. That being said, the event is now live for gamers who want to check it out.
One of the draws of participating in Blizzard’s holiday events in its games like World of Warcraft and Overwatch is that you get costumes/skins that are themed specifically for it. In 2017’s Winter Wonderland, this is no exception as Blizzard will be introducing a ton of new skins for the various characters in the game, all of which have been given a winter-y theme to them.
According to Blizzard, “This year, we’re celebrating with a new brawl: Yeti Hunter, as well as bringing back Mei’s Snowball Offensive. We’ve decked the halls of Black Forest, King’s Row, and Hanamura. But we know what you really want: presents! Unlock over 50 new seasonal items—including legendary skins like Snow Owl Ana, Rime Sombra, Beachrat Junkrat, and Ice Fisherman Roadhog.”
Blizzard also announced that last year’s skins from the previous Winter Wonderland will also be available for purchase at a reduced price, so if you missed out on it last year, not to worry. The event will run from the 12th of December until the 1st of January, 2018, so you’ve got a couple of weeks to enjoy it.

At this point in time, it’s not really so much a question of “if”, but rather a question of “when” the Samsung Galaxy S9/S9+ will be launched, and also what it could look like. However what we’ve heard so far is that the upcoming handset is not expected to be too different from its predecessor, and a recent tweet seems to have “confirmed” it.
In a tweet by Samsungmobile.News, alleged renders of the upcoming Galaxy S9 have found their way online. There’s no way of knowing how legit these renders are, and for all we know they could simply be that of fan/concept renders, so obviously take it with a grain of salt. However they do seem to be in line with what we’ve been hearing.
This includes even slimmer bezels than before, and as you can see, the renders show off a display where the bottom bezel has been shaved off even more than in its predecessor. However with the potentially shaved bezels, we have to wonder if this could somehow affect the claims that Samsung will be maintaining its 18.5:9 display aspect ratio.
The renders also show off the alleged colors that the phone will be available in, which last we heard could be black, blue, gold, and purple, and they are also seemingly “confirming” that the Galaxy S9 could continue to keep its fingerprint sensor on the back, despite speculation that Samsung could shift to an in-display sensor.

When Tidal launched, one of the ways it set itself apart from the competition was that they offered listeners supposed audiophile grade music, although it came at a rather steep cost, a cost that might have set them back in the game because according to a report from Norwegian publication Dagens Naeringsliv, Tidal is running out of money.
The report claims that Tidal apparently only has 6 months left of working capital, which means that the music service only has 6 months left of staying afloat, unless they are able to raise more money. However in a statement to The Verge, a company spokesperson is refuting those allegations by saying, “We have experienced negative stories about Tidal since its inception and we have done nothing but grow the business each year.”
This seems to go against the report which states that Tidal apparently lost as much as $44 million before taxes last year, although the company seems to believe that they will be able to break even and possibly even achieve profitability mid-2018. That being said, it’s not hard to believe that Tidal (or any other music streaming service) could be doing badly.
Last month Apple Music boss Jimmy Iovine claimed that the music streaming industry isn’t making any money, and that companies like Apple, Google, and Amazon at the very least have other products to help prop up the service, whereas music-only services such as Spotify and Tidal don’t. In any case take the report with a grain of salt for now, but maybe don’t discount Tidal just yet.
