Do you remember your first iPod? For most of us, Apple’s iPods were our first Apple device. However, because of the iPhone’s astronomic rise, Apple eventually stopped producing the nostalgic portable music players. Further marking the end of the iPod, Apple is officially classifying the iPod nano as vintage.

Reported by MacRumors, Apple is finally archiving the years-old iPod nano under its official vintage and obsolete lineups. The list features devices that have ceased selling for five years and more. Vintage products have stopped selling for exactly five years. Meanwhile, obsolete products have stopped selling for seven years.

The last iPod nano model debuted back in 2015. Since then, Apple stopped making the devices.

Compared to other iPod series, the iPad nano went through a lot more design variations. In essence, the series offered a more portable form factor for iPod fans. The series transitioned from the classic click-wheel days to the newer touchscreen days. Apart from the still-selling iPod touch, the iPod nano survived most of the other iPods’ culling.

Unfortunately, the iPod touch is officially bowing out of Apple’s active lineup. According to Apple’s classifications, vintage products will have a harder time going in for support or for repairs. Though iPod nano owners can still get their devices checked for repairs, the availability of components is now more of a mystery. Then, in two years’ time, the lineup will enter obsolete territory. Obsolete devices cannot receive official hardware support anymore.

The teaser trailer for DC Studio’s horror thriller, Clayface, has just been released. It is the studio’s first-ever foray into the genre, with the film co-written by Mike Flanagan and directed by James Watkins.

The R-rated standalone film is still part of the new James Gunn DC Universe, taking place within the main DCU timeline before the events of the 2025 Superman.

It stars Tom Rhys Harries as the titular Gotham City villain. He is joined by Naomi Ackie, David Dencik, Max Minghella, Eddie Marsan, Nancy Carroll, and Joshua James.

The film opens internationally on October 21 and in North America on October 23.

Here’s a quick look at the film’s teaser trailer:

Clayface explores one man’s horrifying descent from rising Hollywood star to revenge-filled monster.

The story revolves around the loss of one’s identity and humanity, corrosive love, and dark underbelly of scientific ambition.

Joining Watkins in his creative team are director of photography Rob Hardy, production designer James Price, editor Jon Harris, visual effects supervisor Angus Bickerton, costume designer Keith Madden, and casting director Lucy Bevan.

DC’s Clayface teaser shows off a horror-filled superhero movie

Our first taste of James Gunn’s Gotham City will be frightening.

Published

Last year, James Gunn’s Superman sparked an impressive wave of excitement for the new DC Universe. Though this year’s spotlight is on Supergirl, Clayface is also getting an eponymous film, giving us our first taste of Gotham City in this bustling universe.

There’s been a lot of mystery surrounding this film. For one, Gotham City’s DCU debut is based on, arguably, a secondary villain, rather than any member of the Bat-Family. Secondly, Gunn has confirmed that the movie will heavily lean towards the horror genre, a feat others have tried but often failed.

Today, DC Studios has released the first teaser trailer for Clayface. And no, Gunn wasn’t kidding when he said this is going to be a horror film.

Tom Rhys Harries plays Matt Hagen, a rising movie star suddenly scarred by a violent attack. Desperate to resurrect his career, he resorts to a scientific experiment that turns his skin into moldable clay.

As the teaser hints, the film will not shy away from body horror, including shots of Hagen’s disfigured face either from the attack or from the clay. It’s a big departure from the more traditional style of Superman or Supergirl. But it’s a gamble that might pay off for a universe as young as the DCU.

It’s also apropos that the DCU’s first horror film is getting a horror-themed premiere. Clayface will premiere in cinemas on October 23, 2026.

The Fujifilm instax mini 13 is your new, favorite plus-one!

Say goodbye to awkward “who’s taking the photo?” debates with the camera that puts you at the center of the frame.

We’ve all been there: you’re at the center of a perfect moment — a sunset rooftop toast or a reunion with your best friends — and you’re stuck behind the screen trying to get the lighting right.

Fujifilm’s new instax mini 13 is here to let you stop worrying about the “how” and start living the “now”.

The first thing you’ll notice is the glow-up. The mini 13 swaps the tech-heavy look for a soft, sculpted aesthetic that feels like a dream in your hand. It comes in five candy-colored hues: Dreamy Purple, Frost Blue, Candy Pink, Lagoon Green, and Clay White.

The biggest flex is you can finally be in the shot. The new dual timers (2 or 10 seconds) mean no more awkward “who’s taking the photo?” debates.

Just prop it up with the included angle adjustment accessory, set the timer, and join the frame.

The tech inside is just as intuitive. A simple twist of the lens powers it on or shifts it into Close-Up Mode, while the Parallax Correction ensures your centered shots actually stay centered.

Because we live for the “post,” the updated instax UP! app uses AI to scan your physical prints with pinpoint precision.

It strips away the glare and the background noise, leaving you with a clean, digital version of your favorite tactile memories.


The Fujifilm instax mini 13 is now available in the Philippines, and retails for PhP 5,399.
