Digital crown on apple watch

Superhero movies were never the same after 2018. That’s due to the phenomenal critical and commercial success of Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther . No spandex movie before it had quite married the fantastical with social commentary like that movie. And no big-budget comic book movie ever featured a cast with predominantly Black actors as its heroes and villains (sorry, Steel and The Meteor Man ). Contents Where is Black Panther: Wakanda Forever streaming? When does Black Panther: Wakanda Forever stream for subscribers? How much does it cost? Is it worth watching Black Panther: Wakanda Forever? It was always going to be hard for a sequel to measure up, but things got even more complicated, and tragic, with star Chadwick Boseman’s passing in 2020. The beauty of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is that it’s not just a straightforward sequel or a routine action picture. It’s a moving testament to Boseman’s impact, and what Black Panther meant to the greater … [Read more...] about Where to watch Black Panther: Wakanda Forever | Digital Trends

Samsung has courted a ton of flak in the past for copying Apple, but in 2023, that penchant for imitating its archrival just might prove to be helpful for smartphone shoppers. Soon after revealing the asking price of the Galaxy S23 trio, Samsung announced that its previous flagship is officially getting a price cut — rather than getting axed from retail shelves. Contents A surprisingly good value Samsung enters the pit roaring Apple has been doing the same for years, and it has actually proved to be a wise move for everyone. With a lowered asking price worth a hundred dollars or more, buyers can digest the premium of spending on an iPhone with a lighter hit on their wallets . Of course, it also helps that buying a previous-generation iPhone doesn’t come with any serious FOMO, because Apple is usually quite modest with generation-over-generation upgrades. This year, Samsung is serving Apple’s formula to Android phone enthusiasts. The Galaxy S22 , which … [Read more...] about How the Galaxy S23 copies the iPhone, and why it’s great | Digital Trends

Most of the focus on getting better TV sound has been on soundbars , but when Klipsch introduced The Fives in 2020, it reminded us that a really good set of stereo speakers can sometimes be the best solution of all. Apparently, we’re not the only ones who thought so because Klipsch has introduced two new Heritage Wireless models — The Sevens ($1,299) and The Nines ($1,499) — which take the same winning formula from The Fives and add more power for bigger spaces. Both models are available starting January 31 at Klipsch.com, in both ebony and walnut wood finishes. The Sevens and The Nines use the same midcentury modern design as The Fives, with wooden enclosures and removable cloth grilles. Easy access controls are placed on the top of the right channel speaker, giving you the ability to switch sources and adjust volume without needing a remote — though a remote is also included for full couch-based control. On the back panel, you’ll find a variety of inputs including … [Read more...] about Klipsch expands its powered speakers with The Sevens and Nines | Digital Trends

The streaming world continues to consolidate, but that’s not necessarily lessening the confusion over where to watch what. The latest move is with Showtime becoming a part of Paramount+ . While parent company Paramount didn’t directly announce the change, it long had been in the running before Variety reported the news via an internal memo from Paramount CEO Bob Backish. The end result? “Paramount+ with SHOWTIME.” That’s the official name, clunky and capitalized as it is. The change itself isn’t immediately — “later this year” was all Backish had to say in the memo about the timing — but it’s part of a larger sea change that actually started a few years ago. CBS All Access was the first iteration of the Paramount-owed streaming service (back then it was all a part of ViacomCBS). But the broadcast company we know as CBS doesn’t have a presence outside of the U.S., and so the Paramount name took over in 2021. Further consolidation was in the cards, and that brings us to this … [Read more...] about Showtime is being merged into Paramount Plus | Digital Trends
