'Pokémon Presents' broadcast to take place on Feb. 27

In honour of Pokémon Day, The Pokémon Company is hosting a pre-recorded broadcast called Pokémon Presents on February 27 at 6AM PT/9AM ET. The broadcast will last around 14 minutes long, and it isn't clear yet what the company plans to launch. 

As iMore noted, we might hear more about upcoming projects like the Detective Pikachu game sequel or Pokémon Sleep. But it could also be everything from services, goods, or other media. If you're unfamiliar, February 27 is known as Pokémon Day since it's that date in 1996 when the original Pokémon Red and Green games were launched in Japan for the Game Boy.

Apple might soon offer Face ID repairs without replacing the entire iPhone

If you want to get your iPhone XS (or newer iPhone) repaired because of a Face ID issue in the future, it might not mean your device will get entirely replaced. The company will reportedly give Apple Stores and Apple Authorized Service Providers access to a new TrueDepth Camera service part that includes the Face ID and front-camera modules. This will allow them to perform same-unit repairs on your smartphone with Face ID troubles.

As described in an internal memo provided to MacRumors, the move is meant to reduce the carbon footprint of Apple's products by lessening the number of whole-unit repairs. It also means you don't have to set up a new iPhone because of some Face ID trouble, or it could cost less, but the memo didn't mention pricing. It isn't known when this repair process will be offered, but Apple told its technicians they will receive training and documentation at a later date.
