OhMiBod’s remote vibrators can be controlled via upcoming Apple Watch app

If you take your personal pleasure seriously, or want your Apple Watch to help you out, OhMiBod has plans to launch an Apple Watch app as well as an Alexa Skill for its pleasure products. The Apple Watch app will make use of the Pulse feature and your heart rate to control the intensity of the company’s Bluetooth-enabled vibrators. Meanwhile, the Alexa Skill, which is expected to arrive later in the spring, will let you control your OhMiBod vibrators using voice control alone. It’s not clear how either will work but we’ll probably hear more when these features launch.

LG introduces 2019 TV lineup, introduces HDMI 2.1, Alexa, and 8K tech to its TVs

LG

Just before CES 2019 kicks off this weekend, LG is introducing its newest line of TVs. There are six different ranges in total, with two 8K TVs thrown into the mix. Four of the models are OLEDS (the Z9, W9, E9, and C9) and two are LCDs (the SM9X and SM8X). The 88-inch Z9 OLED and the 75-inch SM99 LCD are the company’s first 8K TVs, which means these have four times the resolution of the current 4K displays.

Season 5 of ‘Black Mirror’ gets pushed back because of ‘Bandersnatch’

With the amount of work it took to put out the choose-your-own-adventure film Bandersnatch, one of the creators of Black Mirror confirmed this pushed the timeline of season 5 of the show. According to executive producer and co-creator Annabel Jones, the fifth season is out due this year. What specific timeframe? She wouldn’t elaborate. Black Mirror seasons have come out on a yearly basis, and it stuck with the schedule even with Bandersnatch coming out in December 2018. The show doesn’t follow a strict episode number per season. It’s released everything from three episodes per season to six at one point and even has a one-off Christmas special on top of this new movie. So, perhaps the new season might arrive earlier with fewer or more episodes. For now, we’re waiting to hear any updates and we’ll report back when we do find out more.

Reports claim Pixel 3 and 3XL Lite to launch in spring 2019 in the US

OnLeaks render of the rumoured Pixel 3 and 3XL Lite

Rumour has been going around that Google is set to release a “Lite” version of its Pixel 3 flagships. And the latest round of rumours talk about the release date of the phones. According to Android Police, the Pixel 3 and 3XL Lite models are set to come to Verizon in the US in spring 2019. There isn’t a specific date or price yet, but estimates would be around the US$400-500 price range. It’s been four years since Google launched a midrange device—the last one was the Nexus 5X in 2015—so it’ll be interesting to see how these devices will fare.

Leaked specifications claim these will be powered by either a Qualcomm Snapdragon 670 or 710 processor and 4GB of RAM and will have 32GB of storage, 12MP rear and 8MP front cameras, and headphone jacks. The smaller Pixel 3 Lite will reportedly have a 5.5-inch screen, while the Pixel 3XL Lite will have a 6-inch screen. It depends on how Google prices these to see if these phones will be worth their specs.
