Apple VR / AR Headset Reportedly in Development
Apple is reportedly planning on jumping into the VR and AR headset wars, according to Bloomberg, which cites people familiar with the company’s plans.
Apple plans to release a standalone VR and AR headset by 2021 or 2022, Bloomberg reports, with the devices aiming to focus on gaming, watching video content, and enabling virtual meetings. Apple reportedly intends to release a pair of AR glasses as early as 2023 as well.
Where’s this technology stemming from? The 2020 iPad Pro will feature an additional camera, plus what Bloomberg describes as a “small hole” that helps enable a 3D system. Apple also plans to implement the 3D system on iPhones later in 2020, where they’ll be paired with a 5G network. The 3D sensor system is described as a more advanced version of Apple’s Face ID sensor.

Here’s What Kojima Said About Mixed Death Stranding Reviews
Over the weekend, Hideo Kojima shared his thoughts on why his latest video game, Death Stranding, may be receiving mixed reviews, particularly from US games press. Kojima’s quote spread quickly online, but IGN has acquired an updated translation of why Kojima believes Death Stranding is receiving mixed responses in the US compared to Europe and Japan.
In an interview between Hideo Kojima and Italian game website TGCom24, Kojima says that the American preference for first-person shooters may have affected players’ response to Death Stranding. An original translation of Kojima’s response also suggested that Death Stranding was better than a shooter. However, IGN’s version of the quote finds that part to be inaccurate. Here is our independent translation of Kojima’s answer.
The Godfather Part II: ‘The Unexpected Sequel’ Turns 45
On December 20, 2019, The Godfather Part II celebrates the 45th anniversary of its release in 1974. It still remains one of the most lauded cinematic sequels of all time, and the first sequel to win an Academy Award for Best Picture. (It took The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King 29 years to achieve the same feat).
Back in the ’70s, sequels weren’t as ubiquitous as they are today, so for director Francis Ford Coppola to equal, and arguably best, The Godfather was, and remains to this day, a stunning achievement. To mark the anniversary, Fathom Events has scheduled screenings of The Godfather Part II in theaters across the country, including on November 12 and 13 (buy tickets here). The film is presented as part of the TCM Big Screen Classics series.
