We’ve often entertained the idea of a Star Wars standalone movie or series of films about Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Ewan McGregor did say he’d be up for the role. The British actor was the last one to play the iconic Star Wars character, as he was the young version of Obi-Wan in the second trilogy. He also did a voice-over for Star Wars: The Force Awakens a few years ago without appearing in the film. It turns out that we will get a Star Wars spin-off focusing on Obi-Wan, but it’s not going to be an independent movie or new trilogy. Instead, the Obi-Wan adventures are heading to the Disney+ streaming service, with McGregor set to star in it.

Ahead of the anticipated unveiling next month of the Apple Watch Series 5 models, the highly-regarded Apple analyst who’s almost never wrong is out with a new research note disclosing that the iPhone maker will stick with OLED display technology for the upcoming edition of the watch.

When those Series 5 models of the watch get shown off next month in tandem with an unveiling of a trio of new iPhones, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo is expecting to see OLED displays supplied by Japan Display, which actually gets more than half its revenue from Apple. That’s according to the new research note from Kuo and TF International Securities shared with Chinese media on Friday (via MacRumors).

Cave bears no longer exist. They went extinct tens of thousands of years ago, and all we have left of the massive ancient creatures are fossils. Figuring exactly why they disappeared has proven to be a significant challenge for researchers, with some believing that a changing climate ultimately doomed the species.

Now, a new study published in Scientific Reports paints a much different picture of the demise of the great bears, and it’s looking more and more like human ancestors were to blame.

With September right around the corner, we’re just a few short weeks away from Apple officially taking the wraps off of its 2019 iPhone 11 lineup. Though Apple hasn’t sent out official invitations for its annual iPhone event, a recent leak suggests that Apple will hold the event on Tuesday, September 10, to be followed by a worldwide launch on September 20.

From what we can gather so far, the iPhone 11 will be a respectable upgrade in the sense that it will offer up some solid hardware improvements across the board without any revolutionary features. Indeed, the most intriguing iPhone 11 rumor we’ve seen so far centers on the triple-lens camera scheme Apple plans to introduce this year. While certainly compelling, the downside is that the advanced cameras will reportedly be exclusive to the 6.5-inch iPhone with OLED display, a device which may be called the iPhone 11 Pro Max.
