Bumble brings 'Ted Lasso' dating app to life

If you were wondering if Bantr would be a good fit to try out, you'd get to find that out soon. The chat dating app on the hit Apple TV+ show Ted Lasso is coming to Bumble. It's going to be a new feature called Bantr Live, where you get three minutes to chat with another Bantr Live player without seeing a photo of them (similar to the premise of Bantr on the show). 

When your three minutes are up, you'll be asked if you want to match. You'll then see a small image of the other person. After you click yes or no, you'll be asked if you want to chat with someone new. The feature will be live every Thursday at 7pm starting on October 13 until December 31. The chat sessions will last until 8pm. So, you can use up the entire time to talk to different people. At the end of the session or when you choose to exit Bantr Live, you'll see if you made matches. The matches you've made (those that clicked yes) will show up on your regular Bumble Date queue.

Jony Ive is a producer of an Apple TV+ animated film

Jony Ive is adding film production to his resume as he's seen credited on an upcoming Apple TV+ animated film. He's credited alongside Woody Harrelson for the upcoming animated film, The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse. It's based on a book of the same name and will debut on the streaming service this Christmas. Unless there's another Jony Ive in Hollywood, we're fairly certain it's that Ive.

The famed designer was responsible for everything from the look of the iPhone to iOS 7. He left the company in 2019 to start his design firm LoveFrom. Apple was a client, and he was credited on the new iMac design. But there wasn't a definitive public collaboration between the two, and that arrangement recently ended.

Roller coaster rides in the US trigger the iPhone 14's crash detection

While reviewers have gotten creative about testing the new crash detection feature on Apple's iPhone 14 and Apple Watch devices, some users are unexpectedly testing out the feature simply by getting on amusement park rides. Wall Street Journal reported instances when the iPhone 14 in the US triggered the car crash detection feature after their owners got on roller coasters. WSJ's Joanna Stern has shared some of the audio recordings on Twitter of the automated voice messages the emergency services were getting from these devices. The message is repeated seven times in a call. And the feature picks up background audio from the scene. 

Some users have also reported having their iPhones make 911 calls after the phone was dropped while driving or right after. The crash detection feature uses a combination of sensor data to assess a possible crash. If it detects one, you'll get a warning on the screen for 10 seconds. It then starts a 10-second countdown accompanied by an alarm sound. After it's done with the countdown, your iPhone or Apple Watch will call emergency services and offer location details. If you added an emergency contact, the devices will send them a text.
