While we know that a new Star Wars trilogy is heading our way in the future, there might be one face we won’t see then. Actress Daisy Ridley, who plays Rey in the sequel trilogy, is ready to give up the role after Episode IX is done. Speaking to Rolling Stone she says, "I am really, really excited to do the third thing and round it out, because ultimately, what I was signing on to was three films. So in my head, it's three films. I think it will feel like the right time to round it out."

But the actress also isn’t completely ruling out showing up somewhere down the line in a similar manner as her co-stars Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, and Mark Hamill did. "Who knows? I honestly feel like the world may end in the next 30 years, so, if in 30 years we are not living underground in a series of interconnected cells ... then sure," she said. "Maybe." If we keep the planet alive by then, and there are more Star Wars films to be made, then perhaps we’ll get our wish.

New Apple patent stocks rumours of foldable iPhone

A newly published Apple patent application helps fuel claims that the tech giant is working on releasing a foldable iPhone. According to the patent published by the US Patent & Trademark Office, it describes the device as: “An electronic device may have a flexible portion that allows the device to be folded. The device may have a flexible display. The flexible display may have a bending region that allows the display to bend along a bend axis when the device is folded.”

The rumours about Apple working on a device with a foldable display have been around since last year. Some claim Apple will be working with LG. Just last month, a report says Apple was planning to invest in an LG plant to help produce the foldable display. The reports mention the use of an OLED panel. The patent application though covers everything from LCD, OLED, to microLED. And while this patent shows us the possibility of a foldable iPhone being in our future. It must be noted still that Apple patents a lot of things that don’t see the light of day.

Google finally gets the cheeseburger right in Android 8.1

One of the weird, quirky tech stories that hit us recently was the idea that Google didn’t know how a cheeseburger looks like with the incorrect depiction of the food item as an emoji. The cheese it was seen placed at the bottom of the bun instead of the burger. It even caught the attention of Google CEO Sundar Pichai, who promised to look into the “issue.” And true enough, he did.  Android 8.1 already has a “proper” cheeseburger emoji heading our way. But that wasn’t before the company made fun of itself and made an “Android Burger” IRL.

Keep those receipts, you lose your DM history when someone blocks you on Twitter

So for some reason, someone blocks you on Twitter, whether it was due to an argument or harassment. It just happened. What happens when you get blocked? You won’t be able to see each other’s tweets; you’ll unfollow each other; if they try to view your profile, they’ll see they’ve been blocked; and they can’t direct message (DM) you. And on top of that, all your past DMs will be erased. So, if you need those as evidence, you better start taking those screenshots now.
