'Sonic Prime' to debut on Netflix on Dec. 15

Netflix has a multiverse Sonic series. And it's debuting on the platform on December 15. The streaming service also shared details about Sonic Prime's story. "It's the Sonic you know and love until an incredible twist thrusts Sonic into a new adventure featuring a reinvented cast and Sonic like you've never seen him before, where the fate of the multiverse rests in his gloved hands," according to the Sonic Prime synopsis. 

The series debuts around a month after Sega's Breath of the Wild-like Sonic game comes out (a.k.a. Sonic Frontiers). It's also not the last Sonic material to expect. There's an Idris Elba starred Knuckles series coming to Paramount Plus and a third Sonic the Hedgehog film in the works.

Apple iPhone 15 Pro rumoured to get solid-state volume buttons

One of the latest rumours about the next iPhones has to do with its volume and power buttons. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claims Apple will switch out physical buttons for solid-state power and volume buttons. These will function similarly to the Touch ID sensor on the iPhone 7 or the iPhone SE (2022). It uses two additional Taptic Engines on the left and right sides of the frame. Solid-state buttons mean these won't physically sink into the device when pressed. Instead, you get haptic feedback to confirm presses. 

These new buttons will be limited to the iPhone 15 Pro, Pro Max, and Ultra models (depending on what will be launched). The standard iPhones will retain the physical buttons.
