Animoji karaoke is a thing and it’s all sorts of awesome
Last week, the iPhone X dropped. As Apple fans the world over did all that they could to get their hands on the phone, those already with the newest iPhone enjoyed every minute on their US$ 1,000 handset.
It wasn’t the borderless display, nor the premium glass back, nor the new facial recognition unlock technology that people were buzzing about online, though. It was Animoji and all the things they could do. Not surprisingly, people found a way to make these animated emoji even more fun. Enter, Animoji karaoke:

GadgetMatch Creative Director Chay was definitely enjoying shooting with the iPhone X. We figured that from this tweet (and the many Animoji she has sent yours truly).
It wasn’t long before we found out Animoji karaoke favorites on Twitter.
And then we proceeded to waste half our day. #animojikaraoke #iphonex #queen #bohemianrapsody #carriedaway pic.twitter.com/4TBBg6qQKS

Not that anyone’s complaining. Keep it coming, guys! Animoji Karaoke is my favorite iPhone X phenomenon. Just remember:
I know is this is day one, but never forget that this is your face when you’re recording an Animoji.
Never. Forget. pic.twitter.com/ct023NQKp6

The Legend of Zelda film gets its first official photos
Bo Bragason and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth play Zelda and Link, respectively.
The Legend of Zelda might be one of the hardest video games to adapt. After all, how do you write a script for a protagonist who never talks? But, by God, Nintendo is doing it anyway. Now, the company has released the first official images from the upcoming live action film’s production.
The upcoming Zelda film has had a long production cycle. First announced in 2023, it was only earlier this year when Nintendo put a date to the film’s premiere: March 26, 2027. Even now, we don’t know much about the film.
Over the weekend, unofficial photos showed that product started its filming in New Zealand. Unofficial photos don’t really mean much except for those who hang around the rumor mill, but they can spiral towards those excited for the film’s release. To get ahead of the rumors, Nintendo released official photos, over the Nintendo Today app, which show both Link and Princess Zelda.
Notably, Zelda, the archetypal princess in distress, isn’t wearing her usual princess’s garb. Rather, she’s wearing the blue gear from the Breath of the Wild duology, where the princess had a more active role in saving Hyrule. Bo Bragason, who plays the princess, will likely take on a more front-and-center role.
Link, played by Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, is wearing his more traditional green clothing from the past games. Though the film looks like it’s adapting the most recent duology, it might be an entirely different story, based on Link’s different clothes.

KATSEYE reimagines ‘M.I.A’ for VALORANT Game Changers 2025
Riot Games drops new anthem ‘GO OFF’ ahead of this year’s finals
Riot Games has unveiled “GO OFF.” It’s the official music video and anthem for the VALORANT Game Changers Championship 2025. It features a reimagined version of KATSEYE’s hit single “M.I.A.” The new version is now available on major streaming platforms alongside a cinematic video release. It’s titled “M.I.A (VALORANT Game Changers Version)
Music meets competition
Music continues to be a defining part of the VALORANT experience. This year’s Game Changers anthem builds on that tradition. The collaboration with KATSEYE celebrates the confidence, drive, and unity that define the Game Changers movement.
“When Riot asked us to reimagine M.I.A for Game Changers, as a gamer I was like YES!” says Megan of KATSEYE.
“That song has always been about confidence and showing up as your best self, and that message aligns so much with what Game Changers stands for. We wanted this version to celebrate every player who’s out there pushing limits and owning their power.”
A story of perseverance and community
“GO OFF” tells a story of determination and resilience, seen through the eyes of women in and around VALORANT. The video highlights real moments of connection within the community — players who uplift and empower each other in competition and beyond.
“Working with KATSEYE to give M.I.A a Game Changers twist has been an incredible experience,” shares Jonny Altepeter, Lead Music Supervisor at Riot Games. “Their energy and artistry perfectly match the spirit of VALORANT, and Megan’s connection as a player made the collaboration feel that much more authentic.”
Celebrating women in esports
The VALORANT Game Changers Championship 2025 finals will take place from November 28–30. It’s happening at LoL Park in Seoul, marking another milestone for the program since its launch in 2021. Game Changers continues to create more opportunities for women in esports, following past championships in Berlin and São Paulo.
Previous anthems include “All Eyes On Me” featuring Jean Deaux and Whipped Cream. There’s also “VALORANT, LOUDER” with an original score by Karel Psota, and “THE DRIVE” featuring “PREDATOR” by YONAKA.

Apple’s new iPhone Pocket is a stylish way to carry your iPhone
This time, woven into the fabric of a modern accessory
Fashion meets tech — again.
Apple’s latest creation isn’t a new iPhone, but something to wear it in. Announced today, the iPhone Pocket is a collaboration between Apple and Japanese fashion house ISSEY MIYAKE, reimagining the way we carry one of the world’s most recognizable devices.
While this is the first official partnership between the two brands, Miyake’s influence has long been stitched into Apple’s story.
The minimalist yet iconic uniform that is Steve Jobs’ black turtlenecks were custom-made by Miyake himself.
Back in the 1980s, Jobs even approached Miyake with an idea: to design a uniform for Apple employees. That plan never took off, but decades later, the spirit of collaboration finds new form — not in a shirt, but in a beautifully woven accessory.
The iPhone Pocket draws inspiration from Miyake’s Pleats Please and Homme Plissé lines, famed for its permanently pleated, wrinkle-free designs.
Made in Japan, and co-designed with the Apple Design Studio, each bag is crafted from a single piece of innovative 3D-knit fabric that’s both stretchy and feather-light. It’s designed to fit any iPhone and, as Apple notes, “other pocketable items.”
Available in two strap lengths, it can be worn as a shoulder bag (or slung on an arm) or crossbody. The color palette is distinctly Miyake: lemon (neon yellow), mandarin (bright orange), purple, pink, peacock (turquoise), sapphire (rich blue), cinnamon (brown), and black.
Longtime fans might also feel a nostalgic nod to the iPod Socks — a whimsical early-2000s Apple accessory that turned practicality into playful design.
The iPhone Pocket launches Friday, November 14, as a limited release, available online and in select Apple Stores.
In New York, it makes its debut in SoHo which is Apple’s outpost in the city’s fashion district. Prices start at $149.95 for the short strap and $229.95 for the long strap.
