F1 movie: Apple unveils world's first haptic movie trailer for Joseph Kosinski's ‘F1'

The Hindu12-06-2025
Apple has launched a groundbreaking promotional feature for its upcoming racing film F1, introducing the world's first haptic-enabled movie trailer. The immersive trailer, which can be viewed on iPhones running iOS 18.4 via the Apple TV app, gives users a tactile experience of key moments from the film.
The trailer uses the iPhone's Taptic Engine to synchronise vibrations with the on-screen action, allowing viewers to feel events like roaring engines, tire skids, and even subtle moments like the click of a seatbelt or a bouncing ball. It mirrors the multi-sensory effects of 4DX theaters but delivers the experience through a smartphone for the first time.

Starring Brad Pitt as Sonny Hayes, F1 follows a former Formula One driver who is called out of retirement to mentor a rising talent, played by Damson Idris. Directed by Joseph Kosinski, the film is set for theatrical release on June 27 and will later be available on Apple TV.
To access the haptic trailer, users must update their iPhones to iOS 18.4, open the Apple TV app, and select the specially marked F1 trailer. Viewers will feel dynamic feedback throughout the trailer such as acceleration bursts and tension-filled crashes. This marks a first in cinematic promotion, bringing haptic technology that's commonly used in gaming into the world of film.

iPhone 17 Pro leak hints at 8x zoom, pro camera app, and new camera control button ahead of September launch

Just when you thought there was nothing else left to unravel when it comes to the iPhone 17 series, a new leak claims that Apple's top-tier iPhone 17 Pro might come with some major camera upgrades. According to an anonymous tipster via MacRumors, the upcoming Pro models could feature an improved telephoto lens with up to 8x optical zoom, up from the 5x zoom found in the current-gen iPhone 16 Pro models. The leak suggests this lens may have the ability to physically move, enabling smoother zoom transitions across different focal lengths, much like what we see on professional cameras. On top of that, Apple is also said to be introducing a brand-new pro camera app and an extra physical camera button, both aimed at improving the photo and video experience for new camera app, according to the tipster, could be built from the ground up with more advanced tools and controls, possibly competing with third-party apps like Halide and Filmic Pro. It's not clear whether this app will be available to all iPhone models or just the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max, but the idea is to give users more flexibility in both photography and video shooting. Interestingly, there's also speculation that this might end up being a major upgrade to Apple's Final Cut Camera app rather than a completely new interesting change could be the addition of a new Camera Control button on the top edge of the iPhone 17 Pro. This would be in addition to the existing Action button, which Apple placed on the side of the iPhone 16 models. The new button is expected to offer quick access to the camera interface and possibly give users faster control over various settings, such as switching lenses or changing shooting modes. The tipster also mentioned that Apple may launch the iPhone 17 Pro in a new copper-like colour and that the Apple logo might be repositioned to the centre of the back panel. These would be small design changes, but they add up to signal a slightly refreshed look compared to previous models. Separately, rumours also point to a completely redesigned rear camera layout for the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, which is expected to shift from the usual vertical stack to a horizontal for the launch, Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 17 lineup — including the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max — in early September, most likely around the 9th or 10th. The company typically sends out invites a week in advance, so more clarity on the exact date should arrive said, it's important to take these leaks with caution, especially since they come from a source without an established track record. But with the September launch getting closer, we should know soon whether these features will make it to the final version.- Ends

Why you should use a password manager for all your secrets, not just logins

I have espoused the virtue of password managers in many, many columns. Believe it or not, there's actually another benefit: they offer quick access to all your secrets, not just passwords. Airline needs your TSA PreCheck info? Just copy and paste from your manager. School enrollment asks for the kid's medical plan number? Yep, that too. Tax preparer wants your bank details? No problem. The more information you add, the more convenient your password manager becomes. Many apps also let you securely store files, like a copy of your will. Centralizing these details is also a huge help to heirs when you pass. I'll go over your best password manager options, what info to plop in, why this should be a key part of your postdeath plan—and what it means to put all of your most precious eggs in one virtual basket. If you already have a password manager, you can skip to the next section. That is, unless you use Microsoft Authenticator: the company will get rid of stored passwords on Aug. 1. I've covered the basics before, but some points are worth keeps growing. Americans lost $16 billion to identity theft, data breaches and other crimes last year, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. To stay safe, you need a unique password for every account. That means you need a lot of passwords, about 168 on average, according to a 2024 NordPass study. And 255, with work accounts! A password manager creates, remembers and fills them in for you. Apple and Google's free, built-in managers work well within their ecosystems but are mostly limited to logins. Browser autofill handles addresses and credit cards, but that's about it. That's why I recommend third-party password managers instead. They work across platforms. Crucially, they let you save more than just logins, such as passports and driver's licenses. Here are some of my favorite options. 1Password ($36 a year) has the most category types, from rewards cards to software licenses, and you can add custom fields to any entry. Dashlane ($60 a year) can store different IDs, including social security and tax numbers. Bitwarden and Proton Pass offer respectable free tiers, though you need to pay for features such as file attachments or sharing passwords with family. 1Password lets you store a variety of information types, with tailored fields for each. This process takes some work up front. But the investment will pay off as you add to your vault. The next time you need your license plate number, or some other odd bit of info, you can search your manager, click to copy the data to your clipboard and paste. Remember: you're doing double duty. You are also relieving the burden on loved ones who would otherwise have to hunt down your info after you die. Set up emergency access or print out login details for your password manager and store it in a safe place alongside a physical copy of your will. Here's how to get started. Even if your password manager doesn't have 'garage code" or whatever entry type you want, you can still save it. Add a login, create an easily searchable title and input the data in the password field. You can put other relevant data in the notes section. Many password manager plans include several document storage. Store a copy of these files for safekeeping: Receipts for big purchasesPermitsMarriage certificateBirth certificatesYour willProperty deedsVehicle titlesVisasLegal agreementsMilitary service records You might be thinking: is it really safe to have all of your most sensitive data in one place? What if a hacker hacks the password manager?My recommended password managers are built on what's called zero-knowledge architecture. Only your master password can decrypt your vault, and it isn't on company servers—no employee or hacker could get to it. To quickly access your info, use the password manager's browser extension, such as Dashlane's shown here, find the right entry and click to copy the data to your clipboard. This level of security is also what makes a password manager a better place to keep private data, compared with a cloud storage provider. Or worse: data scattered across several unsecure apps. Turn on two-factor authentication for more protection. And beware especially of downloading any free software—potential password-stealing malware—from the it isn't about how many eggs are in the basket, it's about how well you guard it. A long, strong master password is the best way to protect your vault, and everything inside. Write to Nicole Nguyen at
