Disney+ is coming to Canada on November 12th, will stream on a number of devices at launch

We now get confirmation that Disney's streaming service will launch in Canada at the same time as it will in the US. Disney+ will be coming on November 12th for CA$8.99. And it will be available on the following devices: Apple TV (tvOS-supported models), iPad, iPhone, Android phones, Android TV, Chromecast, web browsers, PlayStation 4, Roku streaming players, Roku TV, and Xbox One. There is no word yet if it'll be coming to Amazon's Fire TV platform.

Disney has also confirmed that customers can subscribe to Disney+ on iOS devices and other platforms. And the company plans to integrate its content with the Apple TV app.  So, those who look for shows or content to watch on the app will get to see Disney shows/films there as well. Disney hasn't mentioned whether it'll integrate with channel marketplaces like Apple TV Channels or Amazon Prime Channels. But the Disney+ app will have dedicated sections for each of the company's major brands, support for offline downloads, and the ability to stream select content in 4K HDR.

Netflix's new dystopian survival series takes a jab at the Fyre Festival

Netflix's upcoming show The I-Land has no qualms about parodying the failed Fyre Festival. But the intention behind that is something we don't know yet because the show seems to be focusing on something different entirely. While this does offer an island getaway, too, here in the trailer we see people go through some life-threatening "extreme psychological and physical challenges. The series stars Kate Bosworth (who's also a producer) and Natalie Martinez. They're joined by other people who've woken up on a "treacherous island with no memory of who they are or how they got there." And it looks like they need to find a way to get off that island. Feels very The Hunger Games, we have to say. Is there a connection to the Fyre Festival and this show? We don't know for now. The only way we'd find out is when it debuts on September 12th.

Gmail will alert and sometimes correct your grammatical errors

The days of sending grammatically questionable emails might be over. Or at least, you're getting extra help from Gmail. Similar to what Google has done with Docs, Gmail will let you know if you've made grammatical errors and underline these in blue. You can right-click those words to see the suggestions on how to fix them. And if you make "common spelling mistakes," then Gmail will automatically correct those for you. This new feature is coming first to G Suite accounts by mid-September. We don't know when it's coming to regular Gmail users, but you can expect this to make its way soon.

New leak suggests the Motorola Razr will have mid-range specs but premium price tag

Maybe you want to be one of the first to own a reimagined version of the Motorola Razr. Well, you're going to have to pay for it. This rumoured foldable device will reportedly have a hefty US$1,500 price tag. According to "verified information" LetsGoDigital got from an anonymous source, the redesigned Motorola Razr is coming soon. And it could come to the U.S. in just a "few months." The phone modernizes the clamshell design with this rumoured foldable display hidden inside. The dimensions of the phone aren't known yet, but recent renders did show that we can expect a small second screen on the outside for notifications.

According to the report, the premium price tag doesn't seem to match the specs of the phone. It will reportedly not come with a high-end processor, and it'll supposedly have a "smaller battery" than other foldable phones. It seems Motorola wants to bank on the nostalgia of the form factor. But we aren't sure if that would make people want to shell out that much money. The report suggests that there will be a European launch after the U.S. debut that could take place between December 2019 and January 2020. If there's any truth to this report, then we might be seeing the phone this fall.
