In particular, he believes that iPhone XR sales will be better than expected, bumping his prediction from 33m-35m up to 36m-38m for the holiday quarter....

Knives Out 2 is confirmed to be moving forward at Lionsgate. In November, Lionsgate released Rian Johnson’s Knives Out, a murder mystery in the style of classic whodunit films but set in the modern era and tapping into the current cultural zeitgeist. Featuring an all-star cast that includes the likes of Christopher Plummer, Jamie Lee Curtis, Toni Collette, Don Johnson, Chris Evans and more, Knives Out reviews were overwhelmingly positive, and the movie turned into a resounding success thanks in part to the film’s reviews and world-of-mouth....

Big, Bulky Br-correct The Dylan version of Kors Access has a bulky 46mm case. It’s big. There’s also a 44.5mm shaw version that’s more gender-neutral.

But the Dylan is also sold with silver and rose gold colored cases and a leather strap. The shaw has a much wider variety of case colors and comes with either metal bracelets or leather straps....

Opensignal is out with its latest studies on 5G coverage and performance in the US. Through the first part of 2021, T-Mobile is still leading the 5G race when it comes to availability and average speeds. But AT&T and Verizon were able to outperform the Uncarrier with their 5G games and video experiences. And a fascinating finding is how rarely users are actually connected to mmWave 5G. Opensignal shared its April 2021 5G User Experience Report as well as a “Qualifying the mmWave 5G experience” report....

A leading technology analyst has estimated that Apple Watch sales in the first two weeks are likely to hit 3M, comprising 1.8M Sport models, 1.2M steel and 40,000 Editions – generating more than $2B revenue. Think Big Analytics principal Carl Howe also estimates that gross margins on the wearable are likely to exceed 60%, making the Apple Watch the company’s most profitable ever product. Howe readily admits that his analysis, like any other from outside the company, are “really just educated guesses,” but he’s a credible name and his reasoning makes sense … [The electronics] in the expensive models are the same ones used in the Sport models, and they just don’t cost that much....

Toby Kebbell’s villain Koba almost returned in a major role for War Of The Planet Of The Apes - here’s how. The original Planet Of The Apes is a classic series that began with the 1968 original. The first entry was a fantastic sci-fi movie with a shock twist ending and was enough of a success to convince the studio to press ahead with a sequel. The trouble is, this was in a period when follow-ups were rare and generally looked down upon by actors....

Kuo says that the market is expecting 2019 iPhone shipments of around 180 million units at the high end....
