‘Superhot VR’ introduces new challenges in upcoming update

Have you played Superhot VR and thought you could finish the game in 10 minutes? Well, the Oculus Touch-based version of this shooter will be giving you the chance to try that out soon. A Forever update of the game is coming and will be bringing that mode to you. Aside from that, the update will let you beat your best scores in the usual bullet time mode, real time, and when you’re facing opponents with faster reflexes. There are going to be new challenges, too, like having to land headshots to kill enemies or having to complete the game using only melee combat. If this is something you’re excited for, the update will be coming next month.

Apple rumoured to be considering bendable displays for future iPhones

If a recent Wall Street Journal report is anything to go by, iPhones in the future might get a bit more flexible. According to the story, Apple is supposedly looking into using flexible screen technology from Japan Display. The company makes use of LCD and plastic for its display technology instead of LCD and glass, thus making it easier to bend the display. According to Japan Display, this type of screen can be mass produced as early as next year. Of course, it doesn’t necessarily mean bendable iPhones will be in our immediate future. It takes more than screen technology to get a flexible smartphone to work. And, of course, Apple is mum about this report. If the time comes when we do get a bendy iPhone, would it be something you’d like to buy?

Apple testing out Night Shift mode on macOS

Having the option to change the color temperature of the screen is a helpful feature, especially when it comes to reducing eye strain when using phones or computers at night.  That’s why apps like F.lux are popular with users. Now, if you use a macOS machine, you’ll no longer need a third-party app to get this feature. Night mode, or Night Shift mode as it’s known on iOS, is coming to macOS Sierra. Apple is testing it out in the new beta version of the operating system. Like its iOS counterpart, it’ll automatically change to a warmer tone after you set a schedule for it to do so (for example, when sunset comes). It’ll also let you adjust the colors if they aren’t adjusted to your liking. Version 10.12.4 has the feature but it hasn’t been said when it’ll be rolled out to all users. Hopefully, it won’t take too long.
