Shot on iPhone.

Making a music video (or even a movie, just ask Steven Soderbergh) recorded with an iPhone is no longer a new gimmick, but Apple’s iPhone 15 ad blitz includes this behind-the-scenes look at making the video for Olivia Rodrigo’s Get Him Back with the iPhone 15 Pro.

That’s one way to make a case for how having USB-C for external drives and Pro Res 4K Log can improve the production process.

Sega knows where its Sonic bread is buttered.

The company dropped a new track from Sonic Superstars, the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog sidescroller, on YouTube this week (via BleedingCool).

It’s everything a sonic tune should be — catchy, energetic, jazzy synth filled with earworm riffs. It is, in fact, a bop. Its October 17th release date can’t come fast enough.

Megan Thee Ghost Detective.

Megan Thee Stallion has a brand new song out now with Cardi B, several Grammys, and a whole-ass degree in health administration. She’s also a huge weeb. Here she is jamming out to one of the best anime opening themes ever, Yu Yu Hakusho’s “Smile Bomb.”

Eight hours of the Severance theme song is a fitting end to a long weekend.

I finally caught up on the Apple TV drama over the weekend and can confirm Severance is as good as everyone said it was.

While season two is still caught up in a slightly different kind of labor conflict than the one depicted on the show, Apple has released this extended mix to make your cubicle or home office a little more Lumon-like after the Labor Day break.

Just as the founder would have intended.

Apple is acquiring a classical music label.

The company is snapping up BIS Records, according to a tweet from the label on Monday. Apple launched the Apple Music Classical mobile app in March — hopefully it comes to macOS soon.

Here’s the world record speedrun for, uh, “Crank That” by Soulja Boy in FL Studio.

“That felt good coming off the fingertips, I’ll tell you that.”
