If you paid attention at all to any of the Netflix headlines this week, you were no doubt confronted with the revelation — including from us — that Netflix is experimenting with a different release schedule for some new TV seasons. The short version of what’s going on: These are reality shows like The Great British Baking Show which air on Netflix that we’re talking about here, which almost beg to be spread out to keep people hooked from week-to-week.

Nevertheless, Netflix is such a titanic force in media and entertainment that pretty much everything it does is scrutinized, debated, praised, critiqued — and deservedly so. Thankfully, the streamer responded this week that barring a few outliers, it has no plans to back off its all-at-once release schedule, unlike some of its forthcoming rivals, which is arguably a more problematic approach.

It’s that weekend, horror movie fans. The sequel to the It remake is finally here. Called It Chapter Two, the movie follows the kids now that they’re grown up, more or less. And considering that there aren’t any real contenders coming out this weekend, Chapter Two should easily steal the top spot at the box office from Angel Has Fallen.

Huawei at IFA 2019 in Berlin took the wraps off of its next-gen mobile processor, the Kirin 990 system-on-chip (SoC) that will power the Mate 30 phones, including the Mate 30 Pro that could be the most important iPhone 11 rival launching this year.

If this sounds familiar, it’s because Huawei is repeating what it did 2018, when it announced the world’s first 7nm chip at the same trade show, just a few days before Apple unveiled its own 7nm A12 chip that ended up powering all 2018 iPhones and new iPad Pros — the latter ended up being the world’s first commercial 7nm chip. The Kirin 990 marks a couple of first for Huawei as well, one of which Apple won’t be able to match.

Apple’s forthcoming iPhones aren’t the only handsets kicking up a steady stream of fresh leaks at the moment. Google’s upcoming Pixel 4 models have been generating a modest flurry of leaks, video, images, and other tidbits ahead of their release later this fall. We already knew, for example, that both variants of the phone are rumored to include Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 855, in addition to OLED displays. We should be getting a 5.7-inch 1080p display with the smaller Pixel 4, with a 6.3-inch 1440p screen on the larger model.

Meanwhile, thanks to some since-deleted images shared via Weibo, we’ve seen what appears to be a few close-up shots of the Pixel 4 with some additional details revealed.

I have to be honest: I’m sort of angry at Edifier right now. I was perfectly happy with the various speakers I use in my home, thinking that they sounded great. Then I tried the Edifier S3000Pro Audiophile Active Speakers and learned that they don’t sound anywhere near as good as I thought they did. Long story short, I’m ruined. If you want to be ruined too in the best possible way, check out a pair of these speakers on Amazon. They support analog connections, digital connections, and Bluetooth 5.0, and they seriously sound better than any comparable speakers we’ve tested from Sonos, Bose, Sony, and more.

We’re just days away from the official unveiling of the next-generation iPhone, but it’s never too early to look ahead to next year. On Friday, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo released a new research note in which he predicted the three most significant upgrades that Apple will bring to the 2020 iPhone line next fall.

In the note, which 9to5Mac had a chance to see, Kuo predicted that the iPhone 12 will feature “(1) all-new form factor design, (2) 5G support, and (3) camera function upgrades.” He believes that these changes will drive year-over-year growth of the iPhone as high as it has ever been, despite declines in recent years.
