realme is bringing Westeros closer to home with the launch of its latest crossover innovation. The realme 15 Pro Game of Thrones Limited Edition is coming to the Philippines on October 8, which is the same day it releases globally.

A partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, the special edition handset is inspired by the legendary HBO series.

The design pays tribute to the grandeur of the Westeros with black-gold styling. There are nano-engraved dragon motifs. Plus, the phone features the world’s first dragonfire-inspired color-changing design.

Daenerys Targaryen’s rebirth through fire inspired this particular feature, wherein the phone shifts from black to red when warmed.

In the past, realme introduced a color-changing design for the realme 14 Pro series’ Pearl White variant when it drops to below 16°C.

The company has not specified yet what temperature the handset should reach to unlock such change in design color.

Themed “Own Your Real Power”, the limited edition device celebrates values that resonate strongly with today’s Filipino youth. These are authenticity, bravery, and self-determination.

The iconic design, along with immersive features, redefine what a smartphone can be, allowing users to express their individuality and unlock their full potential.

Beyond its appearance, the realme 15 Pro Game of Thrones Limited Edition also offers custom UI themes inspired by House Stark and House Targaryen.

This allows users to further choose allegiance and bring cinematic flair to everyday interactions.

Moreover, the limited-edition gift box is just as collectible. It includes a micro-replica of Westeros, an Iron Throne-inspired phone stand, and exclusive house insignia cards.

All these make the phone a must-have for Filipino fans who live for epic fandoms.

Netflix officially announces bid to acquire HBO, Warner Bros.

The deal might get inked by late next year, at the earliest.

Published

As of late, Warner Bros. became the hottest property in the world of entertainment. Despite efforts to revitalize the brand among audiences, Warner Bros. Discover, as the bigger company is known, has decided to put itself up for sale. Of course, there were a lot of potential contenders. Last month, rumors swirled that Netflix might end up becoming the library’s main suitor. Now, it’s official: Netflix is set to acquire Warner Bros for around US$ 82.7 billion.

The history of Warner Bros. in the modern era represents one of the biggest mergers in history. In previous years, the company merged with several notable properties including HBO, DC, Discovery, TNT, and Cartoon Network. It was, and is, a conglomeration of gigantic proportions. However, recent failures have prompted the company to pull the plug.

As noted above, Netflix toyed around with the idea of buying the property for itself. Now, the deal is nice and printed, ready for approval.

Notably, it hasn’t been approved just yet. The likeliest window for the deal to get approved, if it gets approved, is after the third quarter of 2026, which is when Warner Bros. Discover will break off into two separate entities. In the meantime, other suitors and the government itself might put up some opposition to the huge merger.

Should it push through, most of the library will enter Netflix. The few who don’t follow will likely go with Discovery, which isn’t part of the deal. Additionally, HBO Max might end up getting shelved and folded into Netflix.

iPhone Air has the worst resale value for Apple in years, report says

One variant has reportedly lost 47.7 percent in value.

Published

An iPhone is not an easy purchase to make. After you spend your hard-earned cash on one, you’re also likely thinking about how much you can resell the phone for. Still, even if it’s used, an iPhone can still fetch a decent price… unless, apparently, if you own an iPhone Air.

The iPhone Air is the latest non-typical addition to Apple’s iconic flagships. Compared to the mainline series, the Air is much thinner but still capable of delivering the Apple experience. Unfortunately, the model might end up being the brand’s biggest misfire.

According to SellCell (via GSM Arena), the iPhone Air has had the worst depreciation in value after ten weeks. Averaging all three variants, the model now averages a 44.3 percent loss of value in the resale market. Worst of all is the 1TB variant which has lost 47.7 percent of its resale value already.

In comparison, the entire iPhone 17 lineup averages a loss of only 34.6 percent. The iPhone 17 Pro Max 256GB variant, in fact, only lost 26.1 percent.

Based on the report’s findings, the iPhone Air’s sudden drop is the worst one since 2022. This is unlikely to be a nitpicked chart, too. Previous reports have speculated that Apple is not bringing back the Air next year because of poor sales.

Antigravity A1 drone redefines immersive flight

Immersive flight, limitless perspectives

Antigravity A1

Antigravity has officially launched the Antigravity A1, the world’s first all-in-one 8K 360 drone. It marks the arrival of a brand-new product category the company calls the 360 Drone. Instead of simply piloting a camera in the sky, the A1 is built to let anyone experience the sensation of flight — immersive, intuitive, and free-form.

A headset-first way to fly

Antigravity A1

Incubated by Insta360 and partners, the A1 uses a headset-first system. Its Vision Goggles aren’t just an accessory — they’re central to the experience. With dual 1-inch Micro-OLED displays and Pancake optics, the goggles let users freely look around the sky in real time, putting exploration and perspective first.

Piloting is simplified through the Grip controller and FreeMotion Mode, where pointing the controller becomes your flight path. No steep learning curve. For experienced pilots, FPV Mode remains available for precise directional control.

Features like Sky Path automate repeatable flight routes, letting creators focus purely on the view while sharing the experience by passing the goggles around to friends and family.

Capture everything in one flight

At the heart of the drone is a dual-lens 1/1.28-inch sensor capable of shooting 8K 30fps, 5.2K 60fps, or 4K 100fps in full 360°. The entire environment is captured in one take — no missed angles, no gimbal corrections.

Using Fly First, Frame Later, users can reframe in post, create Tiny Planet effects, or track subjects seamlessly. FlowState Stabilization keeps footage stable even in challenging wind.

Portable, compliant, and practical

Despite its cinematic ambitions, the A1 remains travel-ready at just 249g, making it compliant with EU C0-class and other sub-250g drone regulations. It can fly up to 24 minutes, or 39 minutes with the optional high-capacity battery.

A retractable landing gear protects the lower lens during takeoff while keeping the camera’s 360° view fully unobstructed for invisible-drone shots.

Intelligence designed for creativity and safety

The A1 is equipped with creative shortcuts through Sky Genie for one-tap orbit, spiral, and other cinematic moves. Deep Track handles subject framing automatically, and Virtual Cockpit overlays fantasy elements like a flying dragon — with more skins coming soon.

Safety and longevity are built in with user-replaceable lenses and propellers, Return-to-Home, and a smart payload detection system that prevents unsafe modifications. Antigravity Care offers replacement and flyaway protection for added peace of mind.

Award-winning from day one

Even before launch, the A1 has already earned major global recognition. This includes the TIME’s Best Inventions 2025, Red Dot Award: Design Concept 2025, Good Design Award 2025, CES Innovation Awards 2026. It also garnered over 20 media awards at IFA 2025.

Pricing and availability

The Antigravity A1 goes on sale December 4, 2025 in multiple bundles worldwide:

  • Standard Bundle — USD 1,599 / PHP 84,990
  • Explorer Bundle — USD 1,899 / PHP 97,990
  • Infinity Bundle — USD 1,999 / PHP 104,990

All bundles include the A1 drone, Vision Goggles, and Grip controller with varying accessories depending on user needs.

Antigravity says the A1 isn’t just a better drone — it’s a new way to experience flight and storytelling from above.
