Apple argues stronger encryption will thwart criminals in letter to Australian government
Apple has long been a proponent for strong on-device encryption, most notably for its iPhones and the iOS operating system. This has often frustrated law enforcement agencies both in the US and overseas, many of which claim the company’s encryption tools and policies are letting criminals avoid capture by masking communications and securing data from the hands of investigators.
Now, in a letter to the Australian government, Apple says it thinks encryption is in fact a benefit and public good that will only strength our protections against cyberattacks and terrorism. In Apple’s eyes, encryption makes everyone’s devices harder to hack and less vulnerable to take-overs, viruses, and other malicious attacks that could undermine personal and...

Star Wars author Chuck Wendig says he was fired by Marvel over ‘vulgar’ tweets
Just a week after Marvel announced at New York Comic Con that Star Wars author Chuck Wendig would be penning a Darth Vader miniseries, Wendig says that he’s been removed from the series as well as from an unannounced Star Wars book after he was temporarily suspended from Twitter earlier this week.
In a series of tweets, Wendig noted that he was fired from the remainder of the series “because of the negativity and vulgarity that my tweets bring... It was too much politics, too much vulgarity, too much negativity on my part.” A Marvel spokesperson confirmed that Wendig had been fired but wouldn’t comment further on the record. We’ve reached out to Disney and Penguin Random House for additional comment and clarification and will update...

Facebook is testing an unsend feature for Messenger
Earlier this year, Facebook disclosed that the company had secretly deleted some old messages sent on Messenger by founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg. This was highly irregular as normal Facebook users can’t do this — if you delete messages from your own inbox, those messages still remain in the recipient’s inbox. Then in April, Facebook said it planned to implement an “unsend” feature for everyone, but gave no further details or delivery date. Now, a first look at this unsend feature has surfaced, as spotted by TechCrunch.
Tech tipster Jane Manchun Wong tweeted screencaps of the unsend feature in use on Android (featuring a sticker from The Verge’s own Dami Lee!). When editing messages sent in a conversation, “Unsend Message” appears above...

The Google Pixel 2 XL costs $599 after 24 months at Best Buy
The Google Pixel 3 and 3 XL are now available for preorder starting at $799, but they won’t appeal to everyone — even if they are on the cheaper end of the flagship phone pricing spectrum. Thankfully, buying the Google Pixel 2 XL is becoming a whole lot more affordable.
The last-gen phone still costs $849.99 outright at Best Buy, which is far too expensive and far more costly than the Google Store’s own $699 price point. But if you commit to the 24-month payment plan through Verizon, Best Buy takes the price down from $35.41 per month to $22.91. Including the price of activating the phone, you’ll have only paid $599 for the Pixel 2 XL. Doubling the storage to the 128GB model on Verizon’s 24-month plan is still far more affordable than...

Venmo is increasing the fee for instant transfers to your bank account
Ever since Venmo rolled out its instant transfer feature, which moves money from your Venmo balance to a personal debit card within minutes, the cost of this speedy transfer has been 25 cents. But soon that will be going up. Venmo today emailed users about changes to its user agreement. One of those updates will see the fee for instant transfers switch from 25 cents to 1 percent of the transfer amount (with the minimum still being 25 cents). The change is also acknowledged on this instant transfers FAQ page.
It’s not much, but the upped fee still means that the PayPal-owned company will be deducting a bigger cut if you’re moving a large amount of money over to your bank account. Venmo notes that its traditional bank transfer option...

The best streaming TV apps
Looking to ditch cable? Or maybe you’re already a cord cutter and are getting increasingly bored with what’s on Netflix or Amazon Prime Video. By now, you’ve likely heard about the handful of streaming internet TV services that offer many of the same channels you’d get from a cable package but with the freedom to watch them anywhere and across your devices.
Many of these apps might save you a fair amount of money compared to what you’re forking over to a cable provider. But the appeal is really more about flexibility and a more modern way of watching TV.
Because these services are so highly regional, the below recommendations only apply to the US. I’m also not factoring in every app like fuboTV or Philo.

The World Ends with You is a strange, stylish RPG you shouldn’t miss
When the original Nintendo DS was at the height of its popularity, some of its most interesting games were, well, incredibly strange. There was a musical toy that turned jellyfish into touchscreen pianos (Electroplankton), a story about a secret government agency that solved problems by singing (Elite Beat Agents), and an epic battle where giant tanks were piloted by cute blue blobs (Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime). One of the best examples of this exciting period of games is The World Ends with You.
First released on the DS in 2008, the Japanese role-playing game comes from Square Enix, the company behind the genre’s biggest names, Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest. But The World Ends with You is a completely unique, energetic...

Sony starts rolling out Android Pie updates with the Xperia XZ2 and XZ2 Compact
Android Pie updates continue to roll out, and next up is Sony, which is starting to bring the latest version of Google’s mobile operating system to its older devices, the Xperia XZ2 and XZ2 Compact, via Xperia Blog.
Technically, the Xperia XZ3 that Sony announced at IFA is the company’s first Android Pie device, but the Xperia XZ2 and XZ2 Compact (which, incidentally, are very similar devices to the XZ3) are the first phones that Sony is actually updating to Pie, instead of merely shipping with the software already installed.
Given that the XZ2 only went on sale a few months ago in April, it’s good to see that Sony is being so proactive at updating it with the latest version of Android. Hopefully, it’s a pattern that we’ll continue to...

Avengers 4 Wraps Production, Directors Share Mysterious New Photo
As Marvel Studios delay the reveal of the Avengers 4 title beyond all sense, numerous theories and guesses have made their way onto fan forums and social media, and some suggestions are better than others.
For one example, you might remember a while back when Avengers: Endgame was briefly considered and dismissed in light of co-director Joe Russo’s statement that the sequel’s subtitle wouldn’t come from a line of dialogue heard in Avengers: Infinity War. More recently, Avengers: Annihilation was said to be the frontrunner by some, though it’s had some competition in The Last Avenger, a title that Mark Ruffalo apparently blurted out on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
The debates will likely continue on for a little bit longer, but rest assured, the answers we so desperately crave will begin to surface soon. That’s because production has now wrapped on Avengers 4. Joe and Anthony Russo confirmed as much tonight, taking to Twitter to share the below image along with the caption: #wrapped
As with a lot of the directors’ other Tweets, this photo is awfully mysterious and though fans have already begun examining it for clues, no one’s seemed to have found anything just yet. We’re sure there’s something hidden in there somewhere, but for now, we can at least celebrate the fact that the shoot’s over and the marketing machine will likely kick off in the near future. That means trailers, photos and, of course, that damn title reveal.
Avengers 4 finally – finally! – sees a release on May 3rd, 2019. Standing between now and then is a little-known standalone film called Captain Marvel though, which looks set to roll out the MCU’s strongest ever character in Carol Danvers. It’s an exciting time to be a fan, and we simply can’t wait to see what’s in store during Phase 4… and beyond.

Venom’s Box Office Success Is Currently Outperforming Logan
Venom may not be among the more acclaimed comic book movies of these last couple of years, but by some measures, it’s actually enjoying a better success rate at the box office than at least one superhero flick that critics really liked. Forbes put the recent figures for Eddie Brock’s first standalone film into perspective when they observed how the flick’s revenue since its first weekend has been proportionally better than Logan’s run up to this point.
To put this into numbers, Venom raked in a record-breaking $80 million domestically on its opening weekend, before pushing that figure up to $107.1 million by the end of its first week, yielding a 1.33x multiplier. Logan, meanwhile, earned a superior $88 million domestically on its opening weekend, before finishing its first week at $114 million, making for a multiplier of only 1.29x. So, while Wolverine’s movie may have the higher total at this point, Venom is actually sustaining its audience levels better and, right now, is on pace to outperform James Mangold’s beloved pic.
For further comparisons, a recent ranking of the opening weekends of superhero origin movies placed the Ruben Fleischer-helmed film ahead of the better-reviewed Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger. Then again, it still ranked behind X-Men Origins: Wolverine, so it’s probably best not to take these figures as a sign of Venom’s artistic merit.
Looking overseas, the feature has yet to make its all-important China debut, but at this rate, it seems likely that this symbiote saga will be getting the second installment that it so clearly wants. In the meantime, if you haven’t seen Venom yet, then feel free to give it a watch and decide for yourself whether you want Tom Hardy to go face to face with a PG-13 Carnage.
