Apple iPhone Keynote 2018 Event: Start Time, How To Watch, And What To Expect

Apple’s much-anticipated iPhone event is happening today, September 12, and based on the (rather convincing) rumors out there, it could be one of the biggest launches for the company’s mobile offerings yet. Top of mind is, of course, the successor to the iPhone X, reportedly called the iPhone XS. The rumors indicate there will be at least two versions: the iPhone XS, which will be 6.1 inches and will be the more affordable model, and the iPhone XS Max, which will be a whopping 6.5 inches (the biggest iPhone yet). [Update: Apple has leaked the names of its new iPhone products, ahead of the event.]

GameSpot’s sister website, CNET, will have full coverage of the event, featuring several longtime Apple watchers and coming to you live from the Steve Jobs Theater in Cupertino, California. The pre-show begins at 9AM PT / 12PM ET / 5PM BST, with the main event kicking off at 10AM PT / 1PM ET / 6PM BST. You can watch the livestream of CNET’s coverage here, where they’ll also have a liveblog of all the big announcements.

Nothing has been confirmed by Apple, but 9to5Mac has shared tons of details about the new iPhones, including a new second-gen 5.8-inch model and rumors of an updated Face ID and improved rear camera. We may also learn about a new generation of Apple Watches, iPad Pros, and possibly get a first look at the successor to the Macbook Air. Here’s what Apple is rumored to be announcing:

We could also see the below products announced on September 12, but they could easily make an appearance in October or even later:

Fortnite Update 5.40’s Patch Notes: Suppressed Assault Rifle Added, Drum Gun Vaulted

Epic Games has released the patch notes for Fortnite‘s 5.40 content update, confirming everything that is being tweaked, changed, and added to the game’s Battle Royale and Save the World modes on PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, and mobile. The most notable part of the update is the introduction of the Suppressed Assault Rifle.

The new Suppressed Assault Rifle will let Battle Royale players take out enemies quietly. On Epic’s official Fortnite website, the weapon is said to reward precision over rapid fire. It can be found in Vending Machines, floor loot, Treasure Chests, and Supply Drops, and is also available in Epic and Legendary variants. If you manage to score one of these versions, you’ll do 32/33 damage per shot.

To make way for the Suppressed Assault Rifle, the Drum Gun has been vaulted, which means it is no longer available to use.

In Save the World, meanwhile, Field Agent Rio joins the battle, and there’s also a new set of Weekly Horde Challenges. For these, shields are considerably less useful as Husks are more aggressive. You can see the full patch notes for Save the World here and take a look at the Battle Royale notes below.

With Riggs Gone, Meet Murtaugh’s New Partner in Lethal Weapon Season 3

Martin Riggs isn’t the only partner capable of raising Roger Murtaugh’s blood pressure, as our exclusive sneak peek at the new season of Lethal Weapon clearly illustrates.

After Clayne Crawford was let go following allegations of on-set bad behavior last season, the popular action series tapped American Pie star Seann William Scott to fill the void left by Riggs and take over the job of driving Damon Wayans’ Murtaugh crazy. Scott is playing Detective Wesley Cole, a former international CIA operative who has recently relocated to Los Angeles to be closer to his family.

Patient Zero Review

Patient Zero is now on Digital and VOD and in theaters September 14.

Patient Zero is an anomaly. Its premise has all of the required ingredients to produce something novel. This includes a fresh take on its villains, a competent director in Stefan Ruzowitzky and a decent cast. Yet somehow, all of these attributes fail at helping Patient Zero live up to its potential.

Set in a post-apocalyptic world, Patient Zero details humanity’s last efforts at combating a new form of rabies. Scientists work around the clock to find a cure in an underground bunker while remnants of the US military provide protection. Infected individuals are kept in cages, only removed to be used as test subjects. This comes to the dismay of Colonel Knox (Clive Standen) who feels that the tests are a waste of time. He doesn’t think they’ll ever find a cure and is hesitant to risk the lives of his men on missions to acquire more specimens. Opposing him is Dr. Gina Rose (Natalie Dormer) and Morgan (Matt Smith), a CDC virologist and the only human who didn’t “turn” after being bitten. They both look to the infected as the key to their survival. Rose believes that she can derive a cure using Morgan’s blood and the original virus strain, the source of which is the first known carrier, aka patient zero. Morgan’s ability to communicate with the infected helps in this regard; they hope that his interrogations will yield information about patient zero’s whereabouts.
