There's been a pretty big move forward in the rumours surrounding the Apple iPhone 15, with new renders showing the [change in design and the physical port.]( Why does it matter? The move to USB-C will bring Apple in line with the rest of the industry. What's my take? Talk about Apple moving to USB-C has been around for some time - mostly pushed by the EU ruling that all phones need to use the same connector. The aim is to reduce the variations, so fewer cables are needed to power devices - with the potential to have one charger that would charge your phone, laptop, tablet, headphones, e-reader and everything else. But, in the mix, we have a design that changes slightly, for a slightly different profile. And these renders come from Max Weinbach, who has a pretty good reputation when it comes to leaks. There are also [photos circulating]( purporting to show the iPhone 15 with that USB-C in place, although there's no guarantee these are the real deal.  Disney+ to pull back on making new Marvel and Star Wars TV shows APPLE What's happened? Disney is having a [bit of a rethink]( when it comes to its biggest franchises. Why does it matter? Disney boss, Bob Iger, has said that the company needs to be more careful with its expenditure, claiming that it needs to be "better at curating" its content for Disney+ and theatrical releases. What's my take? While the content has been great, expanding the Marvel and Star Wars universes, this has been expensive content to make. Iger says that this is now going to change and that might be something you notice if you're a subscriber to the service. If you signed up because of those releases, like The Mandalorian or Andor, you might find you have less new content to snack on. Streaming services enjoyed a boom over the past few years, but although the competition for customers remains fierce, a cost of living crisis and the fact that people spending are tightening their belts might result in this being one of the changes we all have to accept.  Sømløs S2 robot vacuum cleaner review: Hands-off cleaning POCKET-LINT What's happened? The Sømløs S2 is part of an elite club of premium robot vacuum cleaners that claims to not only offer the convenience of automated cleaning in your home, but also the hassle-free joy of self-cleaning and emptying too. This is a high-end robot vacuum cleaner that comes with a large dock that not only empties dirt and debris and charges the machine, but also cleans and readies the mop for its next session. Our quick verdict The Sømløs S2 is a powerful and multi-capable robot vacuum cleaner that will vacuum and mop, then clean and empty itself too. Without cameras, it's not quite as intelligent as some of the competition when it comes to obstacle avoidance, and mopping skills could be better too. However, for those who want a premium robot vacuum cleaner that you rarely have to interfere with, it's a great option.
