We're particularly keen on figuring out if there are any bits of tech that lie dormant in this smartphone, since we've heard a couple rumors about not-yet-activated pieces of tech already.

There's been so much news about Apple lately that one new feature in iOS 13 may have been overlooked by the larger Apple user base.

For years now, mobile games have been in something of a strange spot. Many mobile games survive by being free-to-play titles packed with microtransactions (or, more rarely, advertisements), and games that charge upfront tend to find a lower level of success than their free-to-play counterparts. Apple is looking to change the way we pay for mobile games with the launch of Apple Arcade, which has gone live alongside the release of iOS 13.

I'll admit it, I was a little bit obsessed with the Midnight Green iPhone 11 Pro when Apple announced it last week. It still feels like an atypical color for Apple to pick, not quite as serious as Space Gray or Silver, but neither as colorful as some of the iPhone 11's finishes. Of course, it's not only the color of the case that sticks out.

Earlier this year, Activision made something of a surprise announcement by revealing Call of Duty: Mobile. The company has spent the previous few months teasing the game (and even launching it in some regions), but now we know when it will release on a larger scale.

The iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max were all released into the internet review universe today all at once. The fact that these devices are all very similar in basic keyword-search terms should give you an idea of how important it is to Apple that you see them all as the same single overpowering force. The decision, you'll likely find as a consumer, will not feel like an "if" sort of thing, but a "which iPhone 11 should I buy" sort of thing.

The iPhone 11 Pro Max has a 6.5-inch display, three cameras at its back, and (with its most decked-out configuration) could be the most expensive iPhone ever offered by Apple.
