http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/7ff2b2dc102482fee5f6003cbe55e2fb.jpgJust over two weeks after Apple released iOS 10, it has already overtaken its predecessor. As of Wednesday, September 28th, iOS 10 has jumped to 48% of the total iOS market share, while iOS 9 has fallen to 47%. Having launched on September 13th, it took iOS 10 just 15 days to become the most popular version of the software, according to Mixpanel's data.

Hakuna Matata! Disney is making a new ‘The Lion King’ movie

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/a6bfafc54d761032ae04a889e93f37cb.jpgThere’s no doubt about it, The Lion King is one of Disney’s biggest hits ever. First released in 1994, the movie brought in almost $1 billion at the box office (which was almost unheard of back then) and inspired the very popular Broadway play by the same name, which is still performed around the world. So, naturally, Disney wants to remake it using some of the new tech available today. That’s hardly surprising, considering that its newly released Jungle Book movie also earned close to $1 billion at the box office, and that next year’s Beauty and the Beast is already one of the most hotly anti…

Apple’s newest HQ is a perfect super-villain hangout

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/e6d835402c85cbf16c0ede2bcd399ca3.jpgApple is in the process of building a giant new "spaceship" HQ at its traditional location in Cupertino, California. But when it's finally done, it may not be the most striking building in the company's collection. Earlier today, Apple announced that it will move into Battersea Power Station, a former coal-fired power station on the River Thames in London. It's the opposite of a modern building -- it's a hulking monument to heavy industry that's been sitting unused for decades. And it's the perfect place for Apple to open an office.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/a7636818211426b422534d714d479e22.jpgThe death march of BlackBerry's handset business was closely chronicled by BGR for a long period of time. We gave the world an inside look at the company's downfall after it failed to pivot when Apple's iPhone changed the smartphone market, and now those early missteps have finally led to today. As BlackBerry reported a fiscal second-quarter net loss of $372 million on Wednesday morning, the company confirmed that it will cease all internal smartphone development and stop making smartphones.

The Pixel and Pixel XL have been featured in numerous leaks this summer and are better known as the Nexus Sailfish and Nexus Marlin.

It's not that I prefer Pandora to Spotify, it's just that I can't be bothered to make my own playlists, and my Pandora account already features dozens of stations that have been tuned to my preferences. On Tuesday, Spotify might have won me back over with the introduction of Daily Mix: a series of playlists which include your favorite songs as well as songs that the streaming service thinks you might enjoy.

After spearheading the ridesharing revolution against overwhelming odds, Uber's next big bet rests on self-driving cars. In fact, Uber just a few short weeks ago began rolling out its first wave of self-driving Uber cars in Pittsburgh. Interestingly enough, Uber’s grand plan to revolutionize the way we travel doesn’t end with cars. On the contrary, the company envisions a future where users will take advantage of VTOL (vertical takeoff and landing) aircraft in ord…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/5b776562c4ae8ea1d63850e3db39da92.pngApple Music is an interesting beast. By any objective metric, Apple’s streaming music service is a success, what with more than 17 million subscribers attained in just a little over a year. But Apple isn’t a traditional company and, in turn, it’s not often held to a higher standard than most. That said, some have pegged the rollout of Apple Music as something of a disappointment. In addition to early functionality problems and a myriad of UI choices, Apple Music still lags behind Spotify in terms of overall subscribers. Not too long ago, Spotify CEO Daniel Ek hinted via Twitter that his compan…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/29fddb9572005e2a780e8b5ed040a17d.jpgVideo game piracy is a major concern for publishers and developers alike. While musicians can still hope that fans who steal their albums will spend money on merchandise or tickets for live shows, the opportunity for profit is lost when someone steals a game. That's why game makers have to be very careful about the way they interact with pirates, because raking them over the coals never helps. But you know what they say when the odds are stacked against you and there's no viable solution on the table: "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em." (more…) Trending right now: One of the iPhone 8’…

Apple originally introduced a 4K video recording option on the iPhone 6s, but the iPhone 7 Plus’ dual camera system should help videographers and amateurs alike capture even more mesmerizing footage thanks to, among other things, an 2x optical zoom option and improved low-light video capture.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/c1f4f683aa72785f41be49841fceda5d.jpgIf you have an iPhone 7 or an iPhone 7 Plus, you've probably noticed by now that something is missing from this year's iPhones that had been present on every single iPhone up until this point. That's right, the standard 3.5mm headphone jack you used to plug your headphones and aux cables into is no more. Shocking, we know. Okay, so Apple's move to ditch the standard audio port didn't come as much of a surprise following months of rumors suggesting that would be the case. Even still, there are some people out there who are very annoyed at Apple's decision, regardless of how "courageous" it may …
