Apple says an issue is preventing some animations from using high refresh rates on the iPhone 13 Pros

The iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max keep the major redesigns introduced last year — they still feel fresh and modern.

Apple's iPhone 13 lineup launched Friday, and one of the key features of the 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max are their ProMotion displays with variable refresh rates that can top out at 120Hz. But as spotted by 9to5Mac, some app animations in third-party apps are currently only running at 60Hz. That might be frustrating if you were expecting to see buttery-smooth animations across all of your apps with the new phones, but when we asked Apple what was going on, the company shared two reasons why this might be happening.

One reason is that developers will need to update their apps to declare that they use the higher refresh rate. This can be done by adding an entry to the app's plist, Apple tells The Verge, and the company says it plans to share...

Netflix queues up a roguelike PC game to go with its action movie Kate

Kate: Collateral Damage isn't the first gaming tie-in we've seen for a Netflix original, but now that it's seriously entering the space, each title feels a little different. Developed by Ludic Studios, the new game is a "time-attack action roguelike" that relates to the movie Kate, a Netflix movie starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead about an assassin who has 24 hours to find the antidote to a poison that is killing her.

The plot of the movie makes the game's time attack approach easy to understand as players take over the central character on her quest. As its Steam description reveals, players extend the length of each run by killing enemies to slow down the constantly depleting timer, and earning stimulant syringes that reset it entirely.

Twitter says new videos will be less pixelated

Twitter's poor video quality has been a long-running frustration for users on the platform, but on Friday, the company shared some potentially promising news: videos uploaded to the service will now "appear less pixelated for a better watching experience," Twitter said in a tweet from its support account.

Twitter removed a pre-processing step in its video pipeline when you upload, the company tells The Verge. After we published this article, the company clarified that this removed step split videos into smaller chunks for ingestion, which could reduce quality because of the additional processing.

App researcher Jane Manchun Wong uploaded a video intended to put the supposed improvements to the test. (The sound on this video is a little...

Twitter seeking input as it explores Filter and Limit controls on tweets

Twitter is looking for input on two new potential features that could give users more control over the tone and quality of replies to their tweets. Filter and Limit, as shared by Twitter designer Paula Barcante, would intelligently hide offensive or harmful replies or prevent repeat offenders from replying at all.

Based on the concept images Barcante shared, Twitter would detect whether or not you've received harmful replies and then prompt you to turn on Filter or Limit. "If you have Filter on, potentially harmful replies to your Tweet wouldn't be shown to you or anyone else," Barcante writes. With Limit enabled, accounts with a history of offensive or "repetitive, uninvited tweets" would be prevented from replying at all.

How to customize your Windows 11 taskbar

Posted: 24 Sep 2021 01:51 PM PDT

If you've updated your computer from Windows 10 to Windows 11, you may find that your taskbar isn't quite as configurable — and perhaps not quite as useful — as it was before. For example, the old, familiar Start menu with its configurable Live Tiles is now gone. The search box is no longer within the taskbar but is accessed by first clicking on the Start menu — an extra step. (Although the fact that Cortana is no longer automatically part of that search box can be considered, by many at least, as a plus.)

Another thing: the taskbar is now permanently affixed to the bottom of the screen — so if you were more comfortable having it on top of the screen, or on either side, you're out of luck.

As you might imagine, Windows users are already...

It’s Friday, here’s the Galaxy S22 Ultra render that has the Android blogosphere abuzz

It's Friday, it's fall, there's a breeze in the air (hopefully), and there's fresh, I'd argue ridiculous, renders of Samsung's expected Galaxy S22 Ultra to show you. The renders come courtesy of @OnLeaks and Digit, and they feature a new Samsung flagship with what looks like a Galaxy Note 20-inspired body and back that... well you should see for yourself.

Since deciding to skip the Galaxy Note in 2021 — apparently much to the chagrin of T-MobileSamsung's been seeding Note features across its popular phones. Both the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra and the Galaxy Z Fold 3 offer stylus support. If these new renders are to be believed, the Galaxy S22 Ultra will go even further. According to OnLeaks and Digit, the new phone will come with the...

Reuters and the CBC first reported that Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou would appear in a Brooklyn federal courtroom today via streaming video and enter a plea regarding US charges against her. Canadian authorities arrested the Chinese executive in December 2018 on suspicion of violating US sanctions, and she has remained there on house arrest ever since, fighting US attempts at extradition. Hearings in her extradition case ended in August, with the ruling scheduled for October 21st.

Meng was indicted on fraud charges claiming the Chinese technology and telecommunications company misrepresented its relationship with an Iranian affiliate, along with accusations it stole intellectual property from T-Mobile. The 13-count indictment named Meng,...

Disney sues to keep its Avengers copyrights assembled

Posted: 24 Sep 2021 11:48 AM PDT

Disney

Disney-owned Marvel is suing relatives of Steve Ditko and other Marvel comics creators to retain control of classic characters, including Iron Man, Daredevil, Spider-Man, and Black Widow.

The lawsuits, covered earlier today by The Hollywood Reporter, were filed in New York and California against the heirs of Steve Ditko, Don Rico, Don Heck, and Gene Colan, as well as Stan Lee's brother and Marvel collaborator Lawrence Lieber. They ask courts to declare that Disney has sole ownership of comics like The Avengers, Iron Man, Amazing Spider-Man, Strange Tales, and Tales of Suspense — including the characters and story elements that have formed the basis for Disney's lucrative Marvel Cinematic Universe.

As The Hollywood Reporter notes, the...
