Apple reveals "4K HDR" films on iTunes – 4K Apple TV incoming?
It looks like we could be getting 4K HDR films through iTunes.
While Apple hasn't confirmed anything, users have spotted some films being registered as 4K HDR, although the film can only be downloaded in HD.
It certainly syncs with other rumours that speculate that Apple is prepping a 4K Apple TV box.

Forrest Gump score to get first LP release - on chocolate-coloured vinyl
More twenty years after it came out, Alan Silvestri's Forrest Gump is getting a vinyl release.
But this release is not like any other. This vinyl will be chocolate-coloured, echoing the film's famous phrase that "life is like a box of chocolates".
There's only 1500 copies being pressed in the chocolate colour and it'll be out this September.

Reviews
Naim Uniti Atom
If you fail to be excited by Naim's Uniti Atom then there's little hope for you.
It's rare you get a product that looks and sounds as good as the Atom. With class-leading clarity, precise timing and impressive dynamic range, it's an upgrade on the UnitiQute 2.
We can't find anything of note to moan about. This streamer has plenty of substance to go with the style.

Bose SoundLink Revolve
Bose's Revolve is a small speaker but it delivers a huge performance.
It produces a big, solid, punchy sound, so you'll hear it no matter what. However that comes at the expense of detail and articulation.
If you don't mind that, or the £200 price, then the Revolve is a steady option.

Honor 9
The Honor 9 includes features you'd expect from a more expensive phone.
Performance is responsive, the design pleasing and the feature set is excellent. It has its share of problems with an average battery and Android customisations that are fiddly to use at the top of the list.
It's a good phone rather than a great one, fine for those on a budget.
