Apple doesn't make 5G iPhones yet. AT&T doesn't have a widespread 5G network yet. In December I wrote about AT&T fake labeling their phones to appear on a 5G network even though it's just an upgraded 4G network.

But with a forthcoming iPhone update, some iPhones will display that they're connecting to a 5G network even though the phones are electronically/physically incapable of connecting to 5G because they don't have the internal guts.

*sigh*

Apple and AT&T did the exact same thing in 2012 with 4G and LTE, so it's a familiar ruse between them.

There's an interesting scene 5 seconds in around the Statue of Liberty. I'm not sure how to interpret it.

According to the Ars article, all trailer footage is from the first 20 minutes of the movie, which is good: can't spoil too much of what will be happening. Release date in the USA is late April, I hope they're doing the same date world-wide. It'll be interesting to see what happens to people who were killed prior to the Snappening, like Vision and Gammora.

This is based on an awesome New Zealand movie of the same name by Taika Waititi, maker of Thor: Ragnarok, and he's involved in the production of this, so it should contain the same sort of humor. He was also involved in Flight of the Conchords. It's a mockumentary that's basically Big Brother with a house full of vampires. The original movie is a huge amount of fun, this one is set in Staten Island instead of Wellington, NZ. Looks like otherwise it'll be fairly faithful to the movie. Releases March 27.

I highly recommend the original movie, and hope I can configure FX so I can watch this. Otherwise, I guess I'll have to wait for the DVD.
