‘Black Mirror’ Season 5 could come ‘sooner than you think’

At least that’s what the show’s creator says. Charlie Booker told Radio Times in very vague terms that the fifth season of the show is coming. “It’s all imminent-ish. It’ll be out soon.” He adds, “I don’t know what you think, or I’d say it’s sooner than you think.” Apparently, they also already shot one of the episodes before diving deep into the creation of Bandersnatch. Rumour has it, Miley Cyrus is also involved in one of the other episodes. Brooker is keeping themes of the show closely guarded, too, and said that when he said comments about the series being more politically-focused, these might have been misconstrued.

“Last time I kept getting asked, ‘How do you do Black Mirror in a dystopian present?’ and I was saying, ‘Well I deliberately haven’t written an episode about Brexit, because you don’t know how that’s going to play out, so you’d have to wait and see, in a way.’ Because of the turnaround time that we have, we don’t want to be completely outmoded. We don’t tend to do things where we go, ‘Oh what’s happening today?’ and then write about that. So I don’t know that that’s true. Also, weirdly we’ve done a lot of those things already. We’ve sort of done Trump [in series two episode The Waldo Moment]. It’s probably not more political this year, really, except maybe when it is,” he said.

Another leaked render shows off possible triple-lens setup for the 2019 iPhone

We’ve already seen one interpretation of the triple-lens setup for the next iPhone. Now, Steve Hemmerstoffer (a.k.a. OnLeaks) is back to share another one. He teamed up again with Indian site CompareRaja to show one with a horizontal setup. It has the three lenses in the middle with the flash located somewhere between the lenses. It has this sort of cyclops feel to it. In front, there seems to be a slimmed down notch that houses the front-facing camera and TrueDepth system. You get a mic at the bottom with the volume buttons on the left and power button to the right. Hemmerstoffer and CompareRaja claim these are “100% legit prototypes” but that the phones are still in the EVT stage or Engineering Validation Test with Apple still deciding on the design.

According to current rumours, only the next-gen replacement of the iPhone XS Max will be getting the triple-camera setup, while the XS and XR will retain a dual-lens setup. For now, we haven’t heard much about these claims of a triple camera setup, but you’ll definitely hear more from us whether or not this plan does happen.
