The iOS 13 beta release schedule has been a bit of a roller coaster, but with September fast approaching, Apple only has a few more weeks to work on the software before it goes live. Of course, the significance of the tweaks and bug fixes in recent betas has taken a tumble, and there’s not much to write home about.

Nevertheless, if you want to stay up to date, you can download iOS 13 public beta 7 right now, coming just a few short hours after iOS 13 developer beta 8 launched on Wednesday. It’s honestly getting hard to keep up.

Marvel a few weeks ago revealed no less than 10 titles that will be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Phase 4, which will span from May 1st, 2020 to November 5th, 2021. Unlike the previous three phases, the MCU will get a large TV component thanks to Disney+, which will be the home of several TV series featuring the same characters (and actors) from the movies.

At the event, Marvel also confirmed that sequels for Black Panther, Captain Marvel, and Guardians of the Galaxy are in the works, although these won’t be included in Phase 4. While Marvel has yet to confirm it, Black Panther 2 might be one of the first Phase 5 films, according to a recent Martin Freeman interview.

In an effort to further diversify its supply chain, Apple is “aggressively testing” flexible OLED displays from China’s BOE Technology Group for its 2020 iPhone models. Sources have told Nikkei Asian Review that Apple is in the final stages of certification for the advanced display technology, which would serve the dual purpose of lowering costs, as well as reducing the company’s reliance on Samsung, which is one of Apple’s primary suppliers.

When Apple launched the iPhone X, Samsung was its sole supplier of OLED screens, as no other supplier was able to meet the company’s demand for the expensive component. LG Display was added to the supply chain in 2018, but Samsung continued to provide the vast majority of the displays for the iPhone XS.

As if Huawei didn’t already have enough negative press coverage and headlines to grapple with, it seems that the company’s detained chief financial officer has provided fodder for still more.

After she was detained by Canadian officials back in December at the behest of US officials, Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou reportedly told a Canadian border agent that the Chinese company operates an office in Iran. Her answer came after the agent questioned her about whether Huawei sold products to companies it shouldn’t be doing business with — and after she answered “I don’t know” at first.

ABC’s hit drama Lost is one of those shows that’s been off the air for almost a decade now (it ended in 2010) and yet it still has such a passionate fanbase with strong feelings about the series, which started off following the survivors of a plane crash who found themselves marooned on an island. From there, the show spun a complex, richly-drawn and interwoven series of character sketches that touched on faith, purpose, family ties — the weightiest elements, really, of human existence, and all of it done in such a way that Lost at its very best could take your breath away.

The International Space Station is one seriously high-tech laboratory, but it can only remain useful as long as all of its systems are operating as intended. That means regular maintenance, and right now a pair of NASA astronauts are floating around outside the ISS, performing a number of key tasks, including the installation of a new docking port adapter that will make the space station compatible with new commercial spacecraft.

The spacewalk began at around 8:30 a.m. EST and was planned for six and a half hours, so you still have plenty of time to watch NASA’s Nick Hague and Andrew Morgan carry out their duties on NASA’s live stream.

Another day, another iOS 13 beta! Apple just released iOS 13 beta 8 and iPadOS beta 8 to developers — seemingly a bit ahead of schedule since iOS 13 beta 7 was released just last week.

But seriously, iOS 13 beta 8 and iPad OS 13 beta 8 are both packed full of bug fixes and other stability improvements, so definitely install these new updates ASAP.
