Black Panther will introduce viewers to the fictional African country of Wakanda. But while this may be a new experience on the big screen, Marvel has been hinting at the existence of Wakanda since 2010’s Iron Man 2; that film featured a background Easter Egg revealing Wakanda’s presence in the world - and, crucially, S.H.I.E.L.D.’s interest in the nation. Since 2010, Marvel has quietly and carefully built up the presence of Wakanda in the MCU, with references to both the country and its precious metal, vibranium, both on the big and the small screen....

Here are four new iOS 16 features that I’m really hoping to see Apple bring this year… iOS 16 features Whereas iOS 14 was a major update for the iPhone with home screen widgets and other changes, iOS 15 was more iterative – particularly when you consider how many of the initial features were delayed to subsequent iOS 15 updates....

In Summary Apple released the iPhone 14 as part of its lineup of new iPhones in its recent Far Out event. The iPhone 14 is the first Apple flagship phone in many years to be released with an older generation processor, similar to the A15 Bionic seen on its predecessor, the iPhone 13.
