Bike Life is an endless riding game co-developed by Meek Mill and IM3 Gaming Studios. The game takes place in Meek Mill’s hometown of Philadelphia and is meant to represent street bike culture. Players perform extreme bike stunts, compete against other players, and collect coins to upgrade their characters’ bike gear. While playing the game, players listen to exclusive music by Meek Mill and engage with other celebrities.

The Executive

The Executive is a fast-paced action game developed by Riverman Media LLC. In The Executive, players take on the role of a CEO whose mining company has been invaded by werewolves, and it’s the CEO’s job to save all of the employees before the werewolves get to them first. Players have to use their best fighting tactics, as they battle more than 50 enemies, each with their own strengths and weakness. The Executive features 120 levels of non-stop action and intense fights. If you’re a fan of Street Fighter II and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, you’ll absolutely love this game.

Amazing Stairs

Amazing Stairs is an arcade game developed by App Cow. In the same vein as games like Flappy Bird and Timberman, players are challenged to see how far they can climb up the endless sequence of stairs in a limited amount of time. Once players get acquainted with the touch controls, it gets a lot easier to obtain a much higher score. The game does incorporate incredibly disruptive ads, but the most addicted players may not be too bothered by them.

Escape

Escape is an arcade game developed by Ketchapp. In this fast-paced game, players need to quickly take control of their rocket, which is traveling through a world of destruction. Players must save all of their frightened passengers, while buildings collapse and mountains sink into the ground. Be careful though, because if your rocket touches a building when it collapses or hits the ground, all of your passengers will die.

Halo: Spartan Strike

Apple is about to stop selling multiple iPhones in Europe. Here’s why
The iPhone 14 Plus held in a man's hand.

The iPhone SE and iPhone 14 series will no longer be available for purchase in Europe at the end of the year. In an effort to make technology more consumer-friendly, the European Union ruled that any mobile device sold must be able to charge through USB-C, according to iGeneration. While more modern entries in Apple's lineup already meet those guidelines, the iPhone SE and iPhone 14 do not.

These aren't the newest additions to Apple's lineup, but the iPhone SE and the iPhone 14 series are still sold in Europe. These will be pulled from shelves as the deadline approaches. Customers have plenty of options, but this decision will leave the European market without an iPhone SE option until the next model releases in 2025.

For months, rumors have indicated that Apple plans to remove the iPhone Plus from the 2025 iPhone 17 lineup, and replace it with an entirely new model that might be called the “iPhone 17 Air.” A new report suggests that this phone is now closer to becoming a reality.

According to Digitimes, the new phone has entered the initial stage of manufacturing, known as the new product introduction (NPI) phase. At this stage, Apple and its manufacturing partners finalize a blueprint for creating the phone. It's a significant step in the process.

Things still aren’t looking good for Apple’s iOS 19 update
iPhone 16 Pro Max in Desert Titanium.

The latest version of iOS 18.2 rolled out to (most) iPhone users yesterday, and it brought with it a slew of new features that fans have eagerly waited for. These include Visual Intelligence for iPhone 16, Genmoji, and Image Playground. However, this slower rollout of iOS 18 features is having an impact on development times for its next iteration, and that means iOS 19 might be delayed.

There have been whispers of delays before, so this doesn't come as a huge surprise — particularly when you think about how the production flow at Apple usually goes. In a Threads post, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said: "I continue to hear that the gradual rollout of features across iOS 18 to iOS 18.4 is leading to delays of some features scheduled for iOS 19. That will lead to a long-term rollout of features next cycle as well. Engineers are stuck working on iOS 18 projects when they’d usually already be on to the following OS."
