Unofficial 'iPhone 8' design leaked by McDonald's promo

Apple's upcoming 'iPhone 8,' is perhaps the most leaked unreleased product in recent times. Not only did Apple's own HomePod firmware yield various hints at the device's new design as well as its features, there's been no shortage of part, cases and renders that give us a good idea of what Apple's most important product looks like. 

McDonald's is the latest to jump into the leak bandwagon with their bizarre use of an iPhone 8 mockup to showcase their mobile app. Circulating the above mockup images in emails sent to customers, McDonald's Australia may have jumped the gun on the iPhone. The image shows a new edge-to-edge display and a slim ribbon for cameras and sensors.

Huawei tipped to unveil Mate 10 on October 16th

Chinese smartphone maker Huawei is tipped to be releasing the next iteration of its Mate line in a couple of months. On an image that looks like it could be an official invite or teaser, the words “Meet the device worth waiting for” written on top of a backdrop that has the number 10 on it. The image also shows details about the event: October 16, 2017 in Munich, Germany. Whether this is real or not, we should find out soon enough. For now, the rumoured specs of the Mate 10 are said to include an almost bezel-less 6.1” 18:9 screen with 2160 x 1080px resolution, a Kirin 970 processor, 6GB of RAM, Android 7.1 Nougat, and dual rear camera setup.

New leak shows off the entire Sony Xperia XZ1

Yesterday we got to see what the rear panel on Sony’s upcoming flagship might look like. But a new leak shows off the alleged design of the Xperia XZ1 in all its glory. Aside from showing off the possible design of the phone, the leak also “confirms” or reveals some of the specs we’re expecting the Xperia XZ1 to have: Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, 19-megapixel rear camera with Motion Eye feature, 13-megapixel front camera, 5.2-inch HDR display, IP65/68, and have Sony’s 3D feature, too. Our wait isn’t that long to find out if any of these hold up as Sony is set to debut new devices at IFA in Berlin at the start of September.

Doctor Strange makes appearance in New ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ Japanese trailer

Thor: Ragnarok—or as it’s being called in Japan, Thor: Battle Royale—gets a new trailer as we near the release date of the film (it comes out November 3rd here). But while it’s pretty standard and showed off some of the clips we’ve seen before. The opening of the trailer shows us something, or should we say, someone new. Doctor Strange makes an appearance at the start of the trailer talking to Thor about a “great change” happening in his future. It might seem like a random appearance but it makes sense as Thor appeared in the mid-credits scene of Doctor Strange with them talking about Asgardian affairs.
