By news@appleinsider.com (Amber Neely) Apple’s iPhone has taken a bite out of Hollywood horror, playing a key role in the visual storytelling of the new “28 Years Later” movie.A rig holding multiple iPhones | Image Credit: SonyIf you’re a fan of the zombie genre, chances are you’ve probably seen the 2002 classic “28 Days Later.” The film was famous for its look and feel, and this was largely due to the fact that it had been filmed digitally.And, that choice wasn’t done on a whim. Director Danny Boyle and screenwriter Alex Garland were aware of the pervasiveness of digital camcorders — had an apocalypse happened 23 years ago, it most certainly would have been captured by one of these devices.

It turns out that it’s 12 years since Apple started naming macOS with Californian placenames — and for about 11 years before that, it was using cat names. So maybe it’s time.It definitely is not the time for Nothing CEO’s vision of the future, but he insists that in less than a decade, all apps will be gone, replaced by a single AI on a (presumably) Nothing phone. And back somewhere closer to the real world, future iPhones are now rumored to feature 200 megapixel cameras, but we break down why that’s not something to get excited about just yet.
