Disney+ vs Apple TV+: ‘We’re not really worried,’ Disney CEO claims

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

At $6.99/month, the new Disney+ streaming service costs almost half the price of the Netflix plan I’m currently subscribed to. Even so, Disney’s streamer is still undercut by at least one other new addition to the Streaming Wars — the Apple TV+ service that Apple will launch on November 1 for only $4.99/month.

Disney CEO Bob Iger addressed that very issue during an interview with CNBC on Tuesday. His response: Disney’s not bothered by all the competition, including Apple’s undercutting of Disney’s already low price.

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

Samsung has never seemed to care about getting Android updates to its customers quickly, but things might change this year, as Google already included the Korean vendor in a list of companies that will roll out Android 10 to several devices by the end of the year. The news comes just a few days after Samsung opened the Android 10 beta for the Galaxy S10, which is going to be the first Samsung phone to receive Google’s latest update.

The iPhone 11 is shaping up to be Apple’s most popular upgrade option in years

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

After about two years of relatively stagnant iPhone sales, there’s reason to believe that Apple might see some sales growth thanks to the popularity of the company’s new iPhone 11 lineup. And though we won’t know for sure — thanks to Apple’s recent decision to no longer disclose quarterly iPhone sales — there’s mounting evidence that consumers are really flocking to the iPhone 11.

According to a new research report from Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP), Apple’s iPhone 11 models — a lineup which includes the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max — accounted for 20% of all new iPhone sales during the September quarter. That may not seem impressive at first glance, but bear in mind that the iPhone 11 was only available for two weeks during the quarter.

Please god, don’t let this bizarre phone that unfolds accordion-style be our future

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

The Chinese electronics brand TCL is an acronym that stands for “The Creative Life,” and the company is nothing if not creative and supremely ambitious when it comes to smartphone design. Case in point is this prototype design for an all-new foldable smartphone that arguably puts Samsung’s Galaxy Fold to shame, in a way, while still managing to look a little ridiculous. When it’s unfolded, but not completely opened up to show off the beast of a 10-inch display, it almost looks like the taco holder that comes with my regular dish at the Mexican restaurant around the corner from my apartment.

PS5 games might have a killer feature that only Sony could pull off

One of the many, many fascinating decisions that director Hideo Kojima made for his PlayStation 4-exclusive open-world action-adventure game Death Stranding (most of which I can’t talk about yet) was to build a soundtrack curated from actual bands that populate our world and include those songs in the game itself. As you travel across the game’s treacherous landscape, you will hear songs from Bring Me The Horizon, Chvrches, and other artists that have signed with Sony’s music group. And, according to Rolling Stone, this is just the beginning.
