Rumors of an alleged iPhone Fold have been floating around for years, but now a suspicious report claims to have revealed the exact specifications of the device.The specifications of Apple's foldable iPhone were allegedly posted online.The purported specs were shared via social media by leaker Jukanlosreve, formerly known as TechReve. Though the tipster has a history of accurate leaks, the details surrounding Apple's alleged foldable iPhone were attributed to "zwz" in the post, and were only highlighted by Jukanlosreve.Given that the information did not come from the leaker directly, it should be treated with a grain of salt, as this purported "zwz" has no verifiable track record. MacRumors, who originally reported on the information, has noted that they are also unfamiliar with the source. Rumor Score: Possible Continue Reading on AppleInsider | Discuss on our Forums

The recent total loss of Eric Owen Moss' 708 House design from 1982 in thePacific Palisades Fire has been documented by the Los Angeles Conservancy and its current owner Ed Massey, who toldTheHollywoodReporter, "It was serene and beautiful all in one."Image courtesy Eric Owen Moss ArchitectsImage courtesy Eric Owen Moss ArchitectsMoss shared the following words with Archinect in response to the devastating loss:How the recent Palisades fire affects the story of the 708 house story isnt clear to me.Possibly the fire itself, for all its devastation, ratifies a quality in the building its temporality?Unclear that I can recapture the essence of going forward back when it was designed, while reflecting backward on its recent burning.The 708 house was a series of tentative conceptual gestures, a series of space/form/shape and surface experiments, a kind of illiteracy looking for a language.I think I can say Im still looking, so the 708 probably says that the road remain...

Rockstar Games parent company Take-Two Interactive stated close to a year ago thatGrand Theft Auto 6would launch sometime in Fall of 2025. Given Rockstars remarkably consistent knack for delaying games, however, there are many who have been (and continue to be) skeptical about whether the long-awaited open world crime epic will actually release this year.Take-Two, for its part, continues to insist that it will. The company has stressed time and again thatGrand Theft Auto 6is indeed on track for a Fall 2025 release, and during Take-Twos recent quarterly fiscal meeting, the same was reiterated.In its quarterly report, the company listsGrand Theft Auto 6srelease date as Fall of calendar 2025. Meanwhile, during an earnings call, CEO Strauss Zelnick reiterated that calendar year 2025 will be an inflection point for Take-Two, in large part due to the release ofGTA 6.We are forecasting Calendar Year 2025 to be an inflection point for Take-Two from the groundbreaking release of Grand Theft Auto 6 to the unmatched pipeline that 2K is set to deliver, he said. As we introduce hit products to our passionate communities of fans, we are confident that we will usher in a new period of growth and returns for our shareholders.In addition toGrand Theft Auto 6,Take-Two is also expecting the launch ofCivilization 7, Borderlands 4, andMafia: The Old Countrythis year.

A screenshot of a very pixelated version of Bloodborne as if it was made for the original PlayStation. | Image: Lilith WaltherWill Sony ever release a remake or remaster of Bloodborne, the Dark Souls successor that became one of our favorite games of 2015? Even Sonys former games chief isnt sure but that isnt stopping Sonys copyright enforcers from shutting down fun in the meanwhile. Last week, it axed the 60fps mod that let the game finally run smoothly, and now its killed the fan-made Bloodborne PSX demake that reimagined Bloodborne as a block game for the original 1995 PlayStation.Its been over three years since Lilith b0tster Walther released her homage to early PlayStation games, and its only now that Sony is taking it down or rather MarkScan, the enforcer that slapped the game with a copyright takedown notice that has now taken over its itch.io page.Heres a copy of the copyright takedown notice for posterity; it claims that Walther is engaging in digital piracy.Its not surprising that Sony wouldnt want Walther to promote her work using its copyrighted names, and the companys almost certainly within its rights to wait a few years before doing so. Whats surprising is that Sony needed an enforcer in the first place; Walther was happy to change her other Bloodborne Kart game to Nightmare Kart after Sony simply reached out and asked her.But maybe thats because MarkScan is playing whack-a-mole on Sonys behalf. MarkScan was also the one behind the Bloodborne 60fps mod takedown, says mod creator Lance McDonald, and it also took down one of Walthers YouTube videos about Bloodborne PSX with a copyright claim.MarkScan has previously made headlines for taking down World Cup sites that werent even streaming the World Cup, and asking Google to remove some of Sonys own websites on Sonys behalf. MarkScan submits millions upon millions of URL takedown requests on behalf of Sony, Amazon, Netflix, Crunchyroll, Novi Digital Entertainment and more, according to a Google transparency report; Google winds up removing around 47 percent of them.Why go after these videos now? Thats what Id like to know. Sony did get our hopes up by putting Bloodborne at the very end of its 30th Anniversary thank-you video in December with the words Its about persistence could it be a coded message to fans that they need to keep on waiting? Heres hoping this isnt the beginning of a demake purge, as theyre a delightful and creative way to remix games; I doubt they substantially reduce the demand for true remakes.

Newly-published Nintendo patents show that the company has been exploring a version of its Joy-Con controllers that can work like a computer mouse, a feature Nintendo has hinted will be coming to the Switch 2. In its Switch 2 teaser video last month, Nintendo showed two Joy-Con controllers sliding along the ground, much like youd move a mouse.But mouse-like functionality may not just be limited to Joy-Cons: the patents also show that Nintendo has explored adding mouse-like functionality to a split controller with a larger, more traditionally-sized grip.Images in one patent show a Joy-Con being held horizontally, with the SR and SL buttons facing downward, and a persons thumbs on the control sticks. This seems to indicate that the optical sensor would be facing downward so that you can hold and move the controller on a surface like a mouse. Another image shows the left Joy-Con being used upright while the right Joy-Con is used in this mouse mode imagine WASD, but with your Switch controllers. In a machine translation of the patent, which is in Japanese, the term mouse operation sensor appears 28 times, which suggests that there will be technology inside the controllers that makes them work like a mouse.1/4Screenshot: WIPOMouse-like Joy-Con have been rumored for a while, but Ive been wondering if or how that functionality would translate to a more standard controller. Based on the patent drawings, Nintendo has designed a split controller with more traditional console grips, and it appears that at least the right side of the controller could be placed on a surface and operated like a mouse.1/3Screenshot: WIPOAnother patent shows that these Joy-Con will be able to slot into a wrist strap attachment that looks similar to the ones for the original Switch. A machine translation of that patent includes the word magnet 355 times, which seems to indicate that the wrist strap could attach magnetically to the Joy-Con. Im guessing that means that the Joy-Con themselves could attach to the Switch 2 console magnetically as well, which has been rumored.1/3Screenshot: WIPOThat second patent also shows what looks to be a controller dock of some kind where the Joy-Con can be laid down and presumably charged.1/2Screenshot: WIPOPatents dont always translate directly into actual, shipping products, so its possible that these are designs Nintendo explored but never pursued. But given the rumors around this tech, and Nintendos own hints in the same direction, theres a good chance these offer an early look at how some of the Switch 2s new features might work.Nintendo is set to release the Switch 2 sometime in 2025. The company plans to reveal more about the console in a Switch 2-focused Nintendo Direct on April 2nd and is making preparations to try to meet demand.See More:
