Marvel finally — finally!!!released the first trailer for Avengers 4 on Friday morning, and now call by its real name: Avengers: Endgame. A few months ago a leak did say that the next Avengers film would be called End Game, but that leak was short-lived.

But now that Avengers 4 finally has a trailer and a commercial name, as well as a new release date — April 26th, if you were wondering — we can dissect the first clip for clues about what’s coming next.

A 17-year-old just designed an iPhone lock screen that might be better than Apple’s

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Apple’s iOS platform has certainly come a long way over the past decade. It started as a bare bones mobile operating system intended to simply the smartphone user experience, and it was welcomed with open arms considering how sloppy and overcomplicated platforms like Symbian and Windows Mobile were at the time. Then as the years went by, Apple continued to add more and more features to its mobile software. iOS 12 is now a feature-rich OS with more capabilities than most people will ever use. It’s wonderful that the platform has gotten more versatile as time has gone by, but it has also gotten a bit more cluttered and complex in some areas.

One example of a feature that could still use some refinement is the iOS notification system. iOS 12 introduced a bunch of big updates to notifications on the iPhone and iPad, and they’re so much better than they used to be. Features like notification grouping and per-app muting area great indeed, but Apple still has plenty of work to do before iOS notifications and the iPhone lock screen are no longer headaches for users. It’ll be interesting to see how much attention these crucial features get in iOS 13, Apple’s next big iOS update that’s set to be unveiled next June. In the meantime, a 17-year-old just whipped up a terrific design concept that might be even better than what Apple has done in iOS 12.

T-Mobile is about to launch its own eSIM app for iPhone XS and XR

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

When Apple unveiled three new iPhone models back in September, the company confirmed rumors that said the new handsets would come with dual-SIM support. However, unlike other devices that support two physical SIMs, the iPhone XS and iPhone XR only have room for a single SIM inside. The second SIM is a virtual SIM or eSIM, which can be configured in the phone’s settings. But eSIM functionality requires support from wireless carriers and the main US carriers have taken their time rolling out the new feature. T-Mobile is one of the Big Four that has yet to roll out eSIM support for the new iPhones, but it’s working on a standalone app that would bring eSIM support to iPhone.
