IPHONE 14 PRO
Apple has had quite the year... again. Let us be your guide to all the unmissable tech behemoth launched in 2022
There's no doubt that the iPhone 14 Pro is where the serious upgrades are for Apple's smartphone series in 2022. It has an upgraded A16 Bionic processor, an improved camera system, the first always-on display on an iPhone, emergency crash detection, and even satellite connectivity in emergencies - though that last feature will only be available in the US and Canada initially.
The idea is that the iPhone 14 Pro will be able to hook up to a satellite so you can report an emergency situation, even if you're beyond the reach of Wi-Fi and cell towers, and all without the chunky antennas of current satellite phones. The catch is that the data transfer speed will be relatively slow, but it'll be enough to report an emergency.
As for the other upgrades, Apple is promising that the triple-lens rear camera setup - led by a new 48 megapixel sensor - will give you up to three times better quality in low-light situations than the camera on this phone's iPhone 13 Pro predecessor, through a combination of hardware and software improvements.
It's all very impressive, topped off by the claim that this phone is up to 40% faster in terms of raw power than any Android handset (though unfortunately Apple hasn't gone into any more specifics here, so we can't test this out for ourselves). The power efficiency has been improved again, while the chipset has been optimised to boost graphics performance and AI processing too.
Finally, the notch has gone on the iPhone 14 Pro. It's been replaced by a pill-shaped cut-out that Apple is calling the Dynamic Island: not only does this take up less screen space than the notch (which remains on the standard iPhone 14), it can be extended to show extra, context-sensitive information on screen.
When you're playing music, for example, the pill expands to show album art and a sound wave illustration of what's playing.
When you're on a call, it expands to show the length of the call and another sound wave illustration, and when vou're navigating in Apple Maps you'll be able to see distances and turning indicators next to the pill.
Apple's thinking is that you can get on using other apps while still staying informed about what's going on in the background - another option shown in demo form was a timer countdown to a taxi arriving. From what we've seen so far, it looks as though it's going to be a genuinely useful innovation, and you can expect more and more app developers to make use of it as time goes on.
The always-on display that's exclusive to the Pro model looks really impressive too, and works in partnership with iOS 16. It's essentially a dimmed version of whatever is on the lock screen, so the time and various widgets (for steps or calendar events for example) can be visible all the time, without needing to tap the screen.
There are even more improvements to talk about: Apple says the borders on the iPhone 14 Pro are thinner than ever, while the 6.1-inch display is the brightest yet (it's actually comparable to the brightness on Apple's Pro Display XDR monitor). Even the selfie camera has been upgraded with a better autofocus system to make sure your snaps are always crisp and clear.
It's not quite a complete revolution in terms of what the iPhone offers - we might have to wait for the iPhone 15 Pro for that
- but the iPhone 14 Pro is clearly packed with clever, useful upgrades that are going to make a real difference to users. It's undoubtedly the best smartphone Apple has put out yet.

Origin, Hulk's Son & Captain's USO Tour | She-Hulk Episode 1 Breakdown
So the first episode of She-Hulk Attorney at Law is now out. And it was awesome not only for Hulk fans but also for Captain America fans. Usually, it takes time for the origin of the main character to appear in any Disney Plus series. It takes at least two or three episodes. But everything happened here in the first episode itself. Jennifer Walters has already become She-Hulk. And she has already been trained by his cousin to a certain extent. But some things were still not clear. Like the appearance of the Sakaaran ship, And the motives of Titania. Although the comic book readers know that the Sakaaran ship can bring the news of Hulk's son. Which can set up World War Hulk. But we will talk about this further in detail.

Mastering the mind games of Mourinho..
In the bustling streets of London, amidst the roar of fans and the clash of football boots, there existed a man whose tactics transcended the pitch. José Mourinho, the mastermind behind many a football triumph, possessed a unique ability to wield not just the tactics board but also the minds of his players.Cesc Fàbregas, a gifted midfielder, found himself under Mourinho's spell during their time together at Chelsea. As he reflected on those days, he revealed the intricate web of influence Mourinho spun around him."I think with Mourinho, he played with my mind in a different way that nobody else played before," Fàbregas recounted, his voice tinged with both admiration and a hint of bewilderment.Their relationship was not merely coach and player; it was a complex dance of manipulation and inspiration. Mourinho, with his charismatic persona and keen understanding of psychology, knew exactly how to push Fàbregas to new heights."He would send me messages, he would speak to me nearly every day," Fàbregas recalled, painting a picture of relentless communication that kept him perpetually engaged, perpetually focused.Mourinho's words were not just casual chatter; they were strategic maneuvers designed to shape Fàbregas's perception of himself and his role within the team. Each conversation, each message, carried with it the weight of affirmation and importance."He would speak to me in a manner where he makes me see that I'm one of the most important players in the squad," Fàbregas revealed, the memory still vivid in his mind. Mourinho's words weren't empty praise; they were calculated strokes that bolstered Faàbregas's confidence and sense of belonging.And it worked. Under Mourinho's guidance, Fàbregas flourished, his performances on the pitch reflecting the belief instilled in him by his coach. He became a linchpin in the team, a maestro orchestrating plays with precision and finesse."That always had a really powerful message in my brain," Fàbregas admitted, acknowledging the lasting impact of Mourinho's manipulation. The coach's words weren't just fleeting encouragements; they were seeds planted in Fàbregas's mind, blossoming into a steadfast belief in his own abilities.As Fàbregas reminisced about those days, it became clear that Mourinho's influence extended far beyond the tactical realm. He wasn't just a coach; he was a mentor, a confidant, a master of the psychological game.Their time together at Chelsea may have come to an end, but the imprint Mourinho left on Fàbregas's psyche remained indelible. Even now, years later, Fàbregas found himself reflecting on those conversations, those messages, and the profound impact they had on his career.In the world of football, where physical prowess and tactical acumen reign supreme, Mourinho stood out as a master manipulator of the mind. His ability to understand his players on a deeper level, to tap into their emotions and motivations, set him apart as a coach of unparalleled skill.For Fàbregas, Mourinho's influence was a double-edged sword, simultaneously empowering and enigmatic. He had been both puppet and prodigy, a willing participant in Mourinho's intricate game of psychological chess.And yet, despite the complexities of their relationship, Fàbregas couldn't deny the role Mourinho played in shaping him as a player and as a person. The lessons learned, the confidence gained, were invaluable gifts that would stay with him long after the final whistle had blown.As Fàbregas gazed out onto the pitch, the memories of his time under Mourinho flooded back, a testament to the enduring power of the coach's voice. In the world of football, where triumph and defeat hung in the balance, Mourinho's words had been a constant, guiding Fàbregas through the highs and lows of the beautiful game.
