iPhone XR Review | NDTV Gadgets360.com

, Download New Movie Apple gave everyone a glimpse at the future of the iPhone with last year's iPhone X, positioning it at the top of its lineup. With a “notch” and Face ID, the iPhone X was the iPhone of the future, and it came with a price tag that required you to pay EMIs well into the future. The iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus were meant to be the more accessible offerings, continuing Apple's “business as usual” model of delivering solid, incremental updates at prices that were only marginally higher than their predecessors. With 2018, however, it seems the future is here, as Apple has gone all-in with the iPhone X ( Review ) design language across the entire lineup. For the second year in a row, we get not two but three new iPhone models, but this time, they all look pretty much the same — like the iPhone X, but at different sizes. Physically, the iPhone XR sits between the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max . It's priced in iPhone 8 Plus territory, which means Apple has elim...

iOS 12 Review | NDTV Gadgets360.com

, Download New Movie iOS 11 brought some significant new features to Apple's most popular operating system, with the iPad in particular getting plenty of love. With features like improved multi-tasking, a macOS-like Dock, and enhanced drag-and-drop support, the iPad was indeed the star of the show as far as the previous major upgrade to iOS is concerned. There were plenty of new iOS 11 features common to both iPhone and iPad , including a revamped App Store, the Files app, the ability to customise Control Centre, and a whole lot more that was easy to miss at first glance. While iOS 11 was arguably the biggest iOS release since iOS 7 , on the face of it, iOS 12 seems to have much more modest ambitions in comparison. Instead of brining in radical paradigm shifts, it aims to change how we use our devices in small, but meaningful ways. Over three months after its official release, let's take a closer look at what it's been like to use iOS 12 on the new iPhone models — iPhone ...

iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max Review

, Download New Movie If you watched this year's iPhone launch event, you could've been forgiven for thinking that the iPhone XS is the most underwhelming 'S' upgrade in the iPhone's history. Apple spent surprisingly little time talking about the new features of the flagship iPhone models — a lot more information has come out since, which makes them seem like bigger upgrades than one had initially thought. Not many realise that while the 'S' cycle of iPhone models represents no major changes in design language, historically, we've seen some significant features introduced. Siri, Touch ID, 3D Touch, and even the M-series of motion coprocessors all debuted in an iPhone 'S'. Of this year's two new 'S' models, the iPhone XS Max can at least claim to be the biggest iPhone till date — packing a 6.5-inch display in a body that's marginally smaller than that of the 5.5-inch iPhone 8 Plus  ( Review ) — but, on the face of it, the iPhone XS...

Algernon Cadwallader: Some Kind of Cadwallader / Parrot Flies / Algernon Cadwallader Album Review

, Download New Movie Suppose someone tells you about a night they were four beers deep at an Algernon Cadwallader basement show in 2008 and predicted the following: Within the next 10 years, the critical reevaluation of emo would lead to Philadelphia being anointed the epicenter of American indie rock; the Phillies would win the World Series; and the Eagles’ backup quarterback would outgun the Patriots in the Super Bowl, which would be extra satisfying given Tom Brady’s golf dates with President Donald Trump. Which part is least believable? Probably being at the Algernon Cadwallader show in the first place: The trio achieved a decent level of visibility during their short run, but nowadays “that Algernon basement show” is the sort of thing scene diehards will either lie about or never shut the fuck up about. Due to a quintessentially punk combination of DIY ethics and administrative laziness, the majority of Algernon Cadwallader’s output has long been out of print and unavailable on s...

Simmba movie review: Been there, done that

, Download New Movie Simmba movie review: Simmba could just as well have been called Singham part 3. Simmba movie cast: Ranveer Singh , Sonu Sood, Ashutosh Rana, Sara Ali Khan, Nandu Madhav, Ashwini Kalsekar Simmba movie director: Rohit Shetty Simmba movie rating: 2 stars In Singham Returns Again, oops, sorry, Simmba, a police officer sloughs off his rough-and-ready skin and emerges as the savior of the poor and meek. Wait, haven’t we seen that before? Bad question, because this one could just as well have been called Singham part 3. Except it’s Ranveer Singh, not Ajay Devgn, who plays Sangram Bhalerao aka Simmba, street-smart orphan turned cop, who shows up in a Goa police station to do the following: a) eye pretty lasses b) mouth ‘taali-seeti’ dialogue c) play around with the baddies before thumping ’em good d) mouth ‘taali-seeti’ dialogues. Wait, we said that before. And we’ve seen it all before. The set-pieces are familiar. The clashes between the bad guys and the cops...

Various Artists: A Day In The Life: Impressions Of Pepper Album Review

, Download New Movie Your heroes have covered the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band since they first heard it. Just days after its release in the spring of 1967, Jimi Hendrix shocked a London crowd with the album’s opening theme with half of the Fab Four in attendance . Joe Cocker turned its affable second track, “With a Little Help from My Friends,” into soul-baring treacle a year later, while Elton John shouted out its lysergic third beauty, “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds,” in the mid-1970s with John Lennon’s help. And so it goes down the tracklist and across generations and genres. At this point, it’s daunting to name an idea more passé than covering these songs, as omnipresent as oxygen or as eternal as Paul McCartney ’s avuncular charm. It’s a good thing, then, that A Day in the Life: Impressions of Pepper is not actually a Beatles cover album. Sure, its 13 tracks sync with the sequence of Sgt. Pepper’s , and you can hear traces of that totemic record in every piece...

XXX: Language Album Review | Pitchfork

, Download New Movie Hip-hop in South Korea has made it over to the mainstream, partly due to the massively popular music competition show “ Show Me the Money ,” which is like is like “X-Factor” with more hypebeasts in bucket hats. As the reality TV program has gained popularity, major Korean record labels have become more willing to invest in burgeoning rap stars instead of the typical idol or group. XXX’s Kim Ximya, who raps on top of production by the duo’s other half FRNK, has suggested that the commercialism of Korean rap has killed the authenticity of the genre, as it increasingly mirrors the formulaic nature of K-pop. “For most of the Korean rapper population, I feel they did not write about what they actually felt or what they were actually doing,” Kim said in an interview with Billboard . “They were making music they thought people would like to hear.” On their debut album Language , XXX present themselves as the alternative to the sanitized, hyper-glossy rap music typically p...
