A new Microsoft Surface event is headed for London as the company holds their annual "Microsoft Future Decoded" session series. This event series takes place on the 31st of October and the 1st of November 2017 at ExCeL London. Microsoft's own Panos Panay is set to speak - he's Corporate Vice President of Microsoft Devices, and his job is almost always to reveal the next generation in Surface tablets.
An event has been tipped for the next iPhone release, hosted by Apple early next month and containing more than 3 new devices. These devices will be revealed one after the other during the event, an event in which we expect to see an entirely new iPhone. This device has been rumored to be called iPhone 8, but it's just as likely that it'll be called something else - like iPhone Pro, iPhone X, or simply iPhone.
It's a confusing time for Eclipse Watchers in the United States as Amazon recalls hundreds (if not thousands) of Eclipse Glasses this week. This happened just before the Total Solar Eclipse of August, 2017. This Total Solar Eclipse is a rare event because of its position - massive coverage of the sun in a path that spans the United States for over 90 minutes in one go. That doesn't often happen over such a well-populated area of land.
Niantic announced the next Pokemon GO event earlier today, setting the scene with a bunch of Pokemon in floating bubbles. In the bubbles are a number of top-notch Pokemon as well as a couple of rarities. While we don't necessarily expect the Pokemon we'll be seeing to be in bubbles as such, one clue specifically pops up right up front: MISTER MIME.
The event dates for Legendary Pokemon releases in Pokemon GO have been revealed - and they're right on schedule. As previously reported (in anonymous tipster form) here on SlashGear, the next two Legendary Pokemon will be released during events in Europe and Japan. That means it's going to be at least one situation in which a horde of Pikachu carry in either an electric or a fire-type legendary bird Pokemon with much celebration in tow.
Smartphone users around the world know what Pokemon GO is and what it's capable of doing to their free time. With the release of Pokemon GO Fest and the events that surround it, Niantic's proven that a full year of active gameplay is not just a fluke. This game is not just popular because it's part of the Pokemon brand. Instead, it's a headliner in the new age of the mobile smart device experience.
The first wave of Pokemon GO Legendary Raid Bosses is nearly here - and today we're going to show you the best monsters to fight them. This list includes several of the best Pokemon in the game bar-none, but also includes a couple surprises. In our research over the past few weeks, as the Legendary Pokemon stats came into view and were updated behind-the-scenes, we saw this potential list change several times. Today, it's GAME TIME for LEGENDARY POKEMON RAID action!
This afternoon invitations for the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 event were released to the press with a tagline: "Do bigger things." If that weren't enough to entice the public to get pumped up about the event itself, the silhouettes of the device and its new S Pen might. This event invite revealed the day of the event and the timing, too: August 23rd, 2017, at 11AM EDT (that's 11AM Eastern, New York time, 8AM Pacific.)
This year is going to be a big one for author J.K. Rowling - not only because she's bringing an epic 20th Anniversary Harry potter exhibit to the world. This first exhibit will take place at the British Library - but we're crossing our fingers that it'll eventually make a world tour, what with all its history of magic and whatnot. But that's not all - J.K Rowling will also be releasing two new "Harry Potter" books to compliment the original seven.
Photos suggest that Pokemon GO Fest has begun to be set up by Niantic this afternoon in Chicago. Pokemon GO Fest is the first massive Niantic-hosted real-world event for Pokemon GO, and its set to take place this Saturday. Have a peek below at a series of photos captured by local citizens heck-bent on making sure we see this event setup every step of the way!
LG is gearing up to announce a new phone next month at IFA in Berlin, and all signs point toward that phone being the anticipated V30 handset. The invite is vague, minimalist but clever enough, presenting the date and time -- August 31 at 0900, to be precise -- on the home screen of a phone...or, at least, the silhouette of a phone.
At a jam-packed two and a half hours, Apple's WWDC 2017 keynote certainly wasn't slow going. iOS 11 and macOS High Sierra; the Siri-powered HomePod and new MacBook Pro and MacBook Configurations; the updated iMac and the sneak peek of the stealthily-seductive iMac Pro: this year's Apple developer conference bucked the trend and mixed new software and hardware. All well and good, but I went into WWDC day one with some back-of-the-envelope expectations, and those turned out to be dashed. Here are the three things I wanted to see Apple bring to the table, and why.
