The new Apple TV 4K begins arriving at customer’s doorsteps from today, and Patrick O’Rourke at Mobile Syrup has an interview with Apple VP Tim Twerdahl on the new box and its redesigned remote. Most notably, Twerdahl highlights the potential capabilities of the HDMI 2.1 port including the high-frame rate 4K HDR output and support for eARC, which allows sound from all TV sources to output to a connected HomePod. Twerdahl says Apple is committed to “making great audio products for the home”, an important note given that the eARC feature currently only works with the 2018 HomePod, a product Apple has discontinued....

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-waTi8BPdk] Apple re-uploaded its Apple Watch introduction video to YouTube today with a few small changes to the design of the device. It seems the company’s initial renders of the watch were not as accurate as they could have been, as the new version—which also appears on Apple.com now—sports a noticeably smaller screen… [tweet https://twitter.com/KhaosT/status/517073790342160384 align=’center’] [tweet https://twitter.com/KhaosT/status/517068661387821056 align=’center’] The images in the Apple Watch gallery haven’t been updated, but they’ve always had the same design that was introduced to the video today....

Black wrappings canvas the windows, punctuated by four brightly lit and moving displays....

The Arizona House of Representatives has narrowly advanced a bill that could require Apple to allow alternative payment methods in the App Store. Apple had been lobbying against this bill, but it passed in a 31-29 vote on Wednesday, and it could have major consequences for iOS and the App Store. As the Verge reports, the legislation comes as an amendment to Arizona’s existing HB2005, and it would prevent Apple and Google from forcing developers to use a first-party payment system....

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone had a very real rivalry in the 1980s - and it continues (in tongue-in-cheek fashion) today. The two iconic action heroes defined a generation of muscular, gun-toting, violent flicks, but in their heyday three decades ago, Arnold and Sly were as much at war with each other as Stallone’s John Rambo and Schwarzenegger’s John Matrix were at war with scores of enemy soldiers. Today, Stallone and Schwarzenegger are in their early 70s (Sly is 73, a year older than Arnold) but four decades ago, their career trajectories began to rise simultaneously before they intersected and sparked a mutual dislike and feud....

As part of a wave of newly released Avengers: Endgame character posters. Marvel confirms that Shuri died as a result of Thanos’ Infinity War snap. To call the conclusion of last year’s Avengers: Infinity War shocking would be an understatement. Sure, those familiar with Thanos’ snap from the pages of Marvel Comics had some idea what was coming once he got his hands on all six Infinity Stones, but even they had no way of predicting which characters would survive and which would turn to dust as a result of the MCU version....

This is big news: Until now, Barnes and Noble was at odds (lawsuits) with Microsoft over its Android-based Nook software. Today, the two companies announced a Digital Joint Venture.

Crisis On Infinite Earths allows Green Lantern to finally appear in the Arrowverse, thanks to Smallville joining the crossover. The Crisis will span Supergirl, Batwoman, The Flash, Arrow, and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. All of the superheroes, including Smallville’s Superman, Tom Welling, will have to unite to save the Multiverse from a cosmic being called the Anti-Monitor (LaMonica Garrett) - and this could bring a certain Emerald Gladiator and possibly even the Green Lantern Corps into the Arrowverse because they’re all part of Smallville’s universe....
