Blake's Post-'Bachelor In Paradise' Instagram Reveals A Lot About His Experience

Most of Blake Horstmann's Bachelor in Paradise experience seemed far from ideal this season. Within days of arriving in Mexico, he flirted with several women, while two other contestants revealed they hooked up with him within 24 hours of each other at the Stagecoach country music festival earlier in the year. The former Bachelorette runner-up finally left the show in Sept. 9's episode, and Blake's post-Bachelor in Paradise Instagram reveals a lot about his current state of mind.

When Blake returned to the Bachelor franchise at the start of Paradise Season 6, he expressed interest in both Tayshia Adams and Hannah Godwin, and he asked Tayshia out on a date first. Hannah later revealed Blake had visited her in Alabama before filming began, which consequently led to her brief love triangle with Blake and her current Paradise beau Dylan Barbour. Meanwhile, Caelynn Miller-Keyes and Kristina Schulman both revealed they had spent time with Blake at Stagecoach, which took place in April 2019.

At the festival, Blake reportedly hooked up with Kristina, his ex, the night before doing the same with Caelynn, who claimed Blake was then messaging Hannah G. from their shared bed the next morning. Caelynn also said Blake called their hookup as a mistake and he wanted to keep the encounter a secret. She later confronted Blake in a fiery scene that prompted the Bachelorette alum to share text messages from that fateful weekend in real time in attempt to explain his side of the story. (Caelynn, of course, had a response to that as well.)

Once the Stagecoach storm more or less blew over, Blake realized he still had feelings for Kristina, who wasn't so receptive to his romantic vibes. In Sept. 9's episode, she gently turned him down, saying, "I don't think I'll be able to get where I need to get with you ... I literally came to Paradise wanting you to find love. I didn't think you'd be coming my way."

A weepy, blindsided Blake left the beach immediately after Kristina did. On Instagram, he opened up about his Paradise difficulties.

In a lengthy caption, he wrote:

To say Paradise was rough for me is an understatement. I have no one to blame but myself for that. Its not easy putting yourself and all of your mistakes out there for the world to see. No matter the differences all of us had on that beach, I will always have respect for each and every one of you, being brave enough to be yourselves and chase the love we all feel we deserve.

Blake meeting what seemed like every Bachelor woman at Stagecoach eventually became a running gag on the show. Ending his message on an optimistic note, he included several hashtags hinting where people will likely find him when next year's festival rolls around.

I hope that this is not the end of my story and I can look back at this summer and be grateful for the lessons learned and the friends made #bekind #imstillnotgonnastopdancing #imstillgoingtostagecoach

Somewhere, a dozen Bachelor contestant hopefuls are marking their calendars for April 2020.

While it's good to see Blake poking fun at himself, he definitely isn't hiding the internal conflict he's faced this summer. "Never forget that we are all human and not characters on television," he wrote in his Instagram caption.

The Stagecoach publicity team may be forever indebted to Blake's free promotion of their event, but it sounds like he wants to put some of that festival frenzy behind him. Kudos to him for recognizing his mistakes, wanting to improve, and tossing in a laugh for good measure.

Season 6 of Bachelor in Paradise continues at 8 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Sept. 10, on ABC.


What Colors Does The iPhone 11 Come In? You'll Want Them All

At this years Apple Keynote Address, which was held on Sept. 10, 2019 at the Steve Jobs Theater, the company announced its next lineup of smartphones to follow last years iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR. If you have your eye on a new phone, though, youll have to do your research to decide which new hue is right for you. So, what colors does the iPhone 11 come in? And which one will be your new favorite? Apple finally has the answers.

On Sept. 10, Apple announced the release of iPhone 11 with color options in Purple, White, Yellow, Green, Black, and Product Red. The other two new models, the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max come in Midnight Green, Space Gray, Silver, and Gold.

While the iPhone XS and XS Max come in Silver, Space Gray, and Gold, the iPhone XR was revealed with options including Black, White, Yellow, Coral, Blue, and Product Red. So, although the Coral and Blue options are gone, you now have the choices of Purple and Green.

Before the keynote, speculations had made their way around the internet. The Telegraph gestured to the keynote invitations logo, suggesting the multicolored apple could be a hint at new color options. The Japanese Apple website Mac Otakara had said the Coral and Blue options could be replaced with Green and Lavender and they were right. CNET released mock-ups of what these options could look like with an updated camera look in the back, but Apple gave us the goods in person at the Sept. 10 event.

This batch of iPhones looks pretty similar to the last, but the iPhone 11 features an aluminum glass design on front and back, which Apple said is the toughest ever on a smartphone. The iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max, on the other hand, have a stainless steel finish. And, to top it all off, Apple is releasing a new line of colored and clear cases for all three models so that you can show off your new phone.

The phones also include some fun new camera features. For one, the back of the phone now features a dual-camera system, which means new wide and ultra-wide angle lens options and a new portrait lighting effect that help you capture your best quality photos and videos yet. The front of the camera also has a new sensor that allows for wide-angle or slow-motion selfies.

Apple announced that the iPhone 11 will have the fastest processing power of any smartphone yet and one hour longer battery life than the iPhone XR. The iPhones 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max's battery lives are four and five hours longer, respectively, than the XS. Considering the XS had a battery life of around nine hours and 41 minutes, per Tom's Guide, that puts each phone at 14 and 15 hours of battery time.

The iPhone 11 will be available for order starting at $699, the iPhone 11 Pro for $999, and the iPhone 11 Pro Max for $1099, beginning Friday, Sept. 13. They will ship beginning Sept. 20.

So, get ready, Apple fans. We're officially at less than two weeks until you can get that sweet, sweet new tech in your hands. Now, it's up to your to decide which one you want.

8 Disney Traditions To Have With Your Sister That'll Keep You Close

$

0

Disney has always played a special role in my family. My sister and I grew up watching every single animated movie, belting out songs in the car, and going on family vacations to Disney World. We're Disney fanatics who never lost our love for pixie dust. Even though we live long-distance now, we still make it a point to keep some of our Disney traditions alive. If you have a Disney-loving sister as well, you might want to start of your very own Disney traditions to have with your sister.

The reason why traditions are important is they not only give you something to look forward to, but they can also give you a sense of home. Your sister may have always been your number one partner in crime. She's the Woody to your Buzz and the Timon to your Pumbaa. You've gone from days of dressing up in your princess costumes and prancing around the living room to planning epic adventures to all the Disney parks around the world. You know she's your person forever, so why not start some traditions that'll last just as long?

If you don't already do these eight things with your sister, take a cue from my sister and I. These are the Disney-themed things we do together that have kept us super close over the years.

,

1. Always Grab A Mickey-Shaped Treat On The Way Out

At the end of an amazing afternoon spent at Disney with my sister, we stop at the bakery on Main Street for Mickey-shaped treats to take home. My go-to is always a chocolate-covered Rice Krispie Treat. It helps keep the magic of the day going, even if it only lasts the car ride home.

2. Send Each Other Instagram Posts Of Things To Add To Your To-Do List

I'll proudly admit that the good majority of Instagram accounts I follow are related to Disney. There are the foodies who post every new treat offered at the parks, the sites that post about new attractions, and influencers who rock Disney merch in front of Instagram-worthy walls.

Anytime I see something I have to buy or eat, I immediately send to my sister. We quickly add it to our bucket list, so next time we're in the park, we've got our day all mapped out.

3. Watch The Same Disney Movies Whenever You're Together

Everyone likely has a Disney movie they would argue is the greatest movie of all time. With so many classics, it can be difficult to pick just one but you and your sis definitely have a favorite. This is the movie you need to watch over and over again whenever you're having a sister movie night.

4. Post Throwback Disney Pictures On The 'Gram

You and your sis have so many adorable pics of family vacays to Disney, or even Halloween costumes where you dressed up as your favorite Disney characters. These are the throwbacks that Instagram needs to see. Post as many Disney #TBTs as you can find. (I literally have a folder on my phone dedicated solely to this.)

5. Recreate The Same Photo Every Time You're At The Park

Snapping a photo in front of the castle is crucial, but that isn't the only cool photo opp that's available at the parks. Find a place that means something special to you and your sis, take a selfie, and recreate that moment every single time you visit. (Fun fact: My sister actually designed a trash can for Disney World once, and now we make it a point to take a pic with it every time we see one.)

6. See The New Movies Together When They Come Out

Every new Disney movie is a big deal to you and your sister. You've been going to see the latest releases together since you were kids. Either make plans to wait and see them when you're together, or FaceTime each other right after getting out of the movie theatre to discuss.

7. Count Down When You're Driving Up To The Main Entrance

One of my favorite traditions my sister and I still do is count down as soon as we see those arches at the front of Disney World. My whole family would perk up in our seats when we started nearing the entrance. That's when we would all scream, "10, nine, eight..." until we got down to "one." It hyped us up even more for the epic Disney day we were about to experience.

8. Eat At The Same Disney Restaurants Every Time You Visit

There are so many amazing restaurants at Disney to choose from, you could try something new every time you visit. But my sister and I love going back to our favorites. It's become a tradition of ours to grab brunch at Whispering Canyon Cafe at Disney's Wilderness Lodge whenever I'm back in Florida. (Their eggs Benedict is unreal.)

6 ‘Euphoria’ Group Costume Ideas For Your Whole Squad To Wear This Halloween

For some, Halloween is about looking spooky, but everyone who loves pop culture knows the holiday is actually all about celebrating the buzziest moments from the past year. In 2019, no new TV show made a bigger impact than the HBO teen drama Euphoria. The series not only captivated audiences with its shocking themes and no-holds-barred storytelling, but also with its fresh and inventive take on clothing and makeup. This all adds up to the absolutely perfect Halloween costume selection for this year. These Euphoria group costume ideas are sure to make your squad stand out from the crowd.

The best part about getting your group to go as the Euphoria characters this Halloween is that the costumes will work well both when you're all together and when you split off from the pack at a party. Since the show's characters are all connected with each other, your friends can each pick a character to go as and the concept will work no matter who stands next to whom.

Before jumping into the costumes, one of the most important things about dressing up as the Euphoria teens is the eye makeup. One of the most talked-about trends the series has sparked is bold, glittery, colorful eye makeup, so be sure to grab some eyeshadow and replicate the perfect makeup look. And then, of course, you have to choose which character you want to dress up as. Let's go over some of the options:

1. Rue

Rue totally defines schlubby-chic by effortlessly making oversized, dressed-down clothes look totally fashionable. Her favorite piece of clothing is her dad's maroon hoodie, which you can buy for cheap on Amazon.

Hanes Men's Full-Zip EcoSmart Fleece Hoodie
Amazon

Unfortunately, the Gosha Rubchinskiy oversized alien tie-dye tee that Rue wears is sold out (plus, it was selling for a whopping $131, which would obviously be pretty steep for a Halloween costume). But you can get another tie-dye tee featuring aliens without spending a ton of cash on Romwe.

2. Jules

Jules is definitely the most experimental of the characters when it comes to her eclectic style. Unfortunately, though, a lot of the stuff she wears is either super expensive or custom-made, so you will have to get a bit creative.

The purple buckled Opening Ceremony dress Jules wears at McKay's house party is no longer available in that exact style, and the closest alternatives are kind of cost-prohibitive at nearly $200. But don't worry; you can grab a purple mini dress that looks a lot like Jules' dress from Walmart for much cheaper!

The Topshop daisy print tee Jules wears with the dress is also currently sold out, but there is very close match available.

3. Kat

No character has been on more of a style journey than Kat, who began incorporating fetish-wear into her bold outfits to show off her newfound self-confidence. Her most iconic look is no doubt when she first debuts her radical new style at the mall.

You can get a very close replica to Kat's leather harness for just $20 on Amazon.

The sheer red top Kat pairs with the harness is available for even cheaper.

4. Maddy

Maddy is a girl with expensive taste, so that means you might have to drop some coin to truly replicate her most iconic look: the revealing purple outfit she wore to the carnival.

The cutout top that Maddy wore is available for $41.

I.Am.Gia

But those statement, cutout-filled pants that make the outfit Maddy's signature will require you to spend a bit more.

5. Cassie

Maddy was not the only one to rock a memorable outfit at the carnival. Unfortunately, the buckled denim crop top Cassie wore was custom-made for the show, but you can get other denim crop tops online.

SHEIN

PrettyLittleThing has a perfect match for the pleated skirt Cassie wore with the top.

6. Recreate The Characters' Halloween Costumes

On top of Euphoria giving fans tons of fashion inspo with their chic, cutting-edge outfits, the series also featured a Halloween episode in which everyone donned their own costumes. If you are having trouble finding the perfect Euphoria look for your getup, maybe you can try one of theirs!

You can get a near-perfect replica of Kat's latex nun costume for just $45.

Sinful Mama Don't Preach Costume
Dolls Kill

A very close approximation of Jules' angel wings sells for just over $20. All you need to complete her costume is to pair the wings with a white dress.

Plus, who could forget Lexi's Bob Ross costume? The silliest member of your friend group can get the most important element of Lexi's costume for just $20 from Spirit Halloween.

Of course, there are tons of other looks from Euphoria to draw inspiration from this Halloween, but these are just a few ideas to help you get your creative juices flowing, since we all know Halloween costume selection is no joke!

How Long Will The iPhone 11 Pro Max Battery Last? You Won't Need That Charger

We all have that friend who is always borrowing phones to make calls or forgetting a phone charger at home. If thats your phone with the chronic battery problem and youre on the lookout for a replacement, youve come at just the right time. Apples Keynote Address has the latest on this years round of iPhones, including information on how long the iPhone 11 Pro Max's battery will last and it'll have you snapping pics and surfing social media longer than ever.

This years Keynote Address was held on Sept. 10, 2019 at the Steve Jobs Theater, and as always, Apple threw a whole years load of updates at us. The tech giant announced the iPhone 11, which will have a battery life one hour longer than the iPhone XR. Given that the iPhone XR has a battery life of 11 hours and 26 minutes, per Tom's Guide, that's pretty solid.

The other iPhones are even better. The iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max have battery lives four and five hours longer than the XS, respectively. Since the XS had a battery life of nine hours and 41 minutes, that'll put the 11 Pro at nearly 14 hours, and the 11 Pro Max at nearly 15. For reference, this should finally catch the iPhone up to competitors such as the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus. Get ready to surf Instagram all night long, no charging needed.

The iPhone 11 Pro Max isnt too different from the iPhone 11 Pro you can just think of them like last years iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max. The Max is a good option if you prefer a bigger screen at 6.5 inches, compared to 5.8 inches, but both are OLED displays with matte finish stainless steel.

The newest lineup of iPhones primarily feature a range of new dual-camera technologies, such as wide-angle photos, the highest-quality videos yet, and a slow-motion front sensor. They feature the best CPU and GPU processors of any industry smartphone yet, Apple said.

As for color options, you can choose between Midnight Green, Space Gray, Silver, and Gold for the iPhone 11 Pro and the iPhone 11 Pro Max. The iPhone 11 comes in a wider range of shades with front and back aluminum glass: Black, White, Yellow, Coral, Blue, and Product Red. Apple also announced a new line of colored and clear cases for all three models.

You can choose between the iPhone 11s at prices beginning at $699, which is $50 cheaper than its iPhone XR predecessor. The two Pro models will begin at $999 and $1099. If these prices are a bit too steep, you can also consider Apple's monthly payment plans that may ease the transition into your new smartphone.

This may be your chance to start fresh and finally leave the house without worrying about a charger. If this all-day battery life sparks your interest, the iPhones will be available for order beginning Friday, Sept. 13 on the Apple website, and they will be shipped out about a week later.

What Colors Do The iPhone 11 Pro & Pro Max Come In? There's A Brand New Offering

As soon as September rolls around, Apple fans everywhere anticipate the big iPhone announcements for that year. On Sept. 10, 2019, Apple finally gave smartphone fans exactly what they've been waiting for: three new iPhones. At the tech giant's annual keynote address in Cupertino, California, Apple CEO Tim Cook announced the new iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max. With brand new phones in the mix, you might want to know what colors the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max come in.

Previous to the big event on Tuesday, there were rumors that Apple would introduce new colors alongside its trio of smartphones joining the iPhone lineup, per CNET. Hopeful fans excited for more hues were pleasantly surprised when Apple announced the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max would, in fact, be available in four colors, including the rumored dark green that got fans so pumped about the possibility. The four available colors for the new phones are Midnight Green, Space Gray, Silver, and Gold, according to the announcement on Tuesday.

The iPhone 11, on the other hand, has six color options, including Purple, White, Yellow, Green, Black, and Product Red. The iPhone 11 is similar to the XR of the 2018 announcements, coming in at just $699 for a starting price.

Also in the color lineup are the shades that were made available with the iPhone XS and XS Max in 2018: Gold, Space Gray, and Silver. The addition of the Midnight Green to the iPhone Pro and Pro Max lineup marks the introduction of a new, non-metallic color to the high-end iPhone lineup.

Apple isn't new to adding fun colors for its phones, though. The iPhone XR, which now is just $599 (down from $749), was released in White, Black, Blue, Coral, Yellow, and Product RED back in 2018. While that was an exciting release last year, the three new phones introduced during Apple's 2019 Keynote Address are here to make you think about dipping into your checking account to shell out for a new smartphone. Although, if you're in it for just the iPhone 11, that will only cost you $699. The iPhone 11 Pro will set you back $999, and the iPhone 11 Pro Max comes in at the top starting price of $1,099.

Another exciting addition for the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max is the three-lens, rear-facing camera. With a new wide camera, ultra-wide camera, and telephoto camera, users can reach up to four times zoom.

One more fun camera feature is the new slow-motion selfie option, thanks to the addition of slow motion to the front-facing camera. Available on the iPhone 11, 11 Pro, and 11 Pro Max, the new lens on the front facing camera will let you make all the slo-mo vids of your late '90s/early '00s music video dreams.

Seriously, Apple even called the new videos "slofies" during the keynote address, and the new feature was accompanied by a video of a girl having her younger brother gently give her some Beyonc-like flowing hair with the help of a blow dryer. TBH, I can see "slofies" becoming the next Instagram trend, and I am here to get in formation with it.

Now all that's left to do is to pick out which phone and color will best complement my homemade music vids. TBH, an iPhone 11 Pro in Midnight Green seems like it might just be the one.

What Happened To Eddie In 'A Million Little Things' Season 1? It Got Complicated

$

The ABC drama A Million Little Things soon returns for Season 2, shedding light on how a tight-knit group of friends is coping about a year after their best buddy died by suicide. When fans last saw the Boston-based A Million Little Things characters, Delilah was going into labor with her surprise baby, while Eddie, secretly the baby's father, was contemplating coming clean about the paternity of the incoming bundle of joy to his wife Katherine. On top of this baby bombshell, what else happened to Eddie in A Million Little Things Season 1? He's come a long way since the series premiere, but he's not out of the woods yet.

Upon the September 2018 premiere of A Million Little Things, Eddie (David Giuntoli) was struggling in his marriage to Katherine (Grace Park), who was maintaining a busy law career. Fans later learned Eddie was having an affair with Delilah (Stphanie Szostak), the wife of his deceased best friend Jon (Ron Livingston).

Frequent flashbacks eventually revealed Delilah and Eddie had been canoodling when Jon called Eddie right before he died. Eddie had ignored the call, prompting guilt later on when he heard Jon's voicemail advice to "love each other." Eddie feared Jon knew about the affair, and he turned out to be right: A later flashback revealed Jon had caught the unknowing pair in the act when he showed up late to the dinner where Delilah planned to reveal her infidelity.

Although Eddie and Delilah seemingly had Jon's blessing from beyond the grave, they didn't pursue a relationship. Instead, Delilah stuck to the lie that she was unexpectedly pregnant with Jon's baby to avoid complicating Eddie's unraveling marriage and further driving a wedge in their friend group. As Eddie began rebuilding his music career, he and Katherine were amicably taking steps toward their divorce, but by the end of Season 1, old feelings were bubbling between them.

The Season 1 finale closed with Delilah rapidly entering labor. While Regina (Christina Moses) coached her at the hospital, Eddie told Katherine he wanted to move back home with her and try their relationship again. "There's nothing I want more," he said. "But I promise you no more lies. So there's something I need to tell you."

ABC on YouTube

Given how much information the group dug up about Jon's past, the truth about Delilah's baby's father has surprisingly remained in the dark. As the end of the Season 1 finale episode hinted Eddie was about to tell Katherine the truth and actively pursue her again, fans may be in store for fierce tension between Eddie and both women in his life. ABC's synopsis for the Season 2 premiere stays vague, but it appears to confirm the inevitable, saying:

Delilah goes into labor, Eddie feels compelled to tell Katherine the truth about being the babys father. Meanwhile, Gary (James Roday) and Maggie (Allison Miller) struggle with living together post-cancer, and Rome (Romany Malco) and Regina continue to be at odds about having a baby of their own.

Recovering alcoholic Eddie may be getting his life back together, but the arrival of this baby may signify another rough path ahead for him.

Season 2 of A Million Little Things premieres at 9:01 p.m. ET on Thursday, Sept. 26, on ABC.

How Big Are The iPhone 11 Models? You Have Options

On Tuesday, Sept. 10, Apple gave customers a glimpse at what new gadgets to expect when it rolled out its newest lineup at its fall keynote event in Cupertino, California. If you're in the market for a new smartphone, you might be wondering: How big are the iPhone 11 models? Here's what you should know about the three different options, so you can compare and make the best choice for yourself.

On Sept. 10, Apple put months of rumors and speculation to rest when it unveiled its newest generation of iPhones. The iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max boast an updated camera setup with additional rear-facing lenses, a faster A13 bionic chip, new colors, and the iOS 13 operating system. While there are plenty of new changes in the pipeline, a few things will be staying the same, as the new gadgets will boast new 6.1-, 5.8- and 6.5-inch specs for the iPhone 11, iPhone, 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max, respectively, compared to the 5.8- and 6.5-inch displays you can find with the iPhone XS, the XS Max (both of which have now been discontinued), and the 6.1- inch XR.

While the size might be comparable to the phones you're used to, it sounds like Apple's newest generation of iPhones includes many cool updates that will make you want to upgrade. One of the biggest takeaways from the iPhone 11, iPhone, 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max is their enhanced camera quality, thanks to the addition of additional camera lenses (a wide angle and super wide angle camera for the iPhone 11 and an additional telephoto camera for the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max). As a result, users can now take wider screen videos and photos from the same vantage point, edit their videos on their phone, and even take "slowjies," aka selfies in slow motion. In addition to the enhanced camera properties, the phones themselves will be even more energy-efficient than their predecessors and feature better battery life as well as improved performance and processing speeds as a result of their new A13 bionic chips, which is apparently the fastest and most powerful in the industry.

Unfortunately, Apple faithfuls can't get their hands on these sleek new gadgets now, but they will be available for preorder starting on Friday, Sept. 13 and they'll ship out on Sept. 20, Tim Cook told the audience during the keynote. If you do plan to purchase one of the newest generation of iPhones, the 11 will set you back just $699 while the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max are similarly priced to the since-discontinued Phone XS and the XS Max at $999 and $1,099. It appears the 2018 XS and XS Max are no longer available as sold through the Apple Store. Elite Daily reached out to Apple for comment on the apparent discontinuation, but did not hear back at the time of publication.

In addition, the iPhone 8 and the iPhone XR are still available at discounted prices of $499 and $599 if that's something you're interested in. In the meantime, I'd take some time to review the different specs and capabilities that each of these new options boast so that you can pick the best choice for your needs before Sept. 13 comes around.


4 Shows Dropping On Apple TV+ On Nov. 1 2019

If it's the beginning of September, so it must be time for Apple to present to the world the latest iPhone. Though the company has multiple presentations a year, the September one is usually geared towards the upcoming holiday shopping season. But this year, there were other announcements, as Apple TV+ will also arrive in time for the holidays. The new streaming service arrives Nov. 1, 2019, and will feature brand new original series. These shows dropping on Apple TV+ may convince you it's worth signing up.

When the service launches on Nov. 1, Apple will have a handful of high-end prestige TV-style shows that will arrive with it. The most hyped so far is The Morning Show, the Reese Witherspoon-Jennifer Aniston drama set behind the scenes at a broadcast network's morning program, after the male anchor is fired due to sexual misconduct. But that's only the beginning of Apple's offerings when the service launches.

Along with The Morning Show, there will be a piece focused on Emily Dickinson, but not the way you would think. There's See, the post-apocalyptic science fiction series where humans have lost their sight. And there's an alternate history show focusing on the race to the moon, called For All Mankind.

,

1. 'The Morning Show'

Movie Coverage on YouTube

The Morning Show is the series Apple has been pushing the hardest. With two A-list women actors toplining, and the topical subject matter, this is the kind of prestige programming Apple wants viewers to associate with their brand. But Witherspoon says the show doesn't have an agenda. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, she said:

Sometimes the world is so confusing that the only way that you can understand it is through art. We dont take sides in any of it. Its about the humanity of these issues.

2. 'See'

Apple TV on YouTube

See comes in with the sort of premise found in science fiction novels, but rarely on screen. At some point in the near future, a virus will cause all of humanity to go blind. Cities fall apart; humans go back to being a nomad culture. And then, one day, hundreds of years on, a pair of twins are born with their sight fully functioning.

3. 'Dickinson'

Apple TV on YouTube

This series is about Emily Dickinson, the 19th-century poet, but it's not a period piece. Though it's set in 1850, it's more like Clueless when it comes to language. But star Hailee Steinfeld thinks it's perfect for tackling the world-renowned poet: She didnt belong in that time. She had a very modern way of thinking and acting.

4. 'For All Mankind'

Apple TV on YouTube

And finally, a show that asks, what if the Russians won the space race? The show stars Joel Kinnaman as an American astronaut who sees the world change because of the failure to make it to the moon. As he puts it: It feels like this Mad Men world, but where it all keeps expanding."

This series will jump from era to era. This way, viewers will experience the ripple effects throughout history, changing the world into something very different than viewers know today.

Apple TV+ launches Nov. 1, 2019. It will cost $4.99 a month, but the first year is free for those who buy an Apple device.

The iPhone 11 Pro Promo Song Had Me Dancing During The Keynote

Though the unveiling of the iPhone 11 totally stole the spotlight at Apple's Keynote Address this year, I'm totally curious about another important feature of the event that may be less talked about: the incredible music. At the company's Keynote Address on Sept. 10 at Steve Jobs Theater in Cupertino, California, the music accompanying the new phones was just as exciting as the new smartphone lineup's reveal. In case you've had it stuck in your head since you first heard it, you'll want to know that the iPhone 11 Pro promo song appears to be "Get Up" by Terrell Hines, according to the Shazam app. The catchy song is def one you'll want to add to your daily playlist.

During the Apple Keynote, the brand played a song that the Shazam app identified as being by Terrell Hines. It appears to be called "Get Up," but according to Hines' Facebook page, it may be coming on an album that debuts in October, which looks like it might be called St. Mark Road. Elite Daily reached out to Hines' management for further comment on the song's official release, but did not hear back at the time of publication.

As for the phone the song is hyping, that would be the iPhone 11 Pro, which comes in a new Midnight Green color along with Gold, Space Gray, and Silver. The successor for the iPhone XS will be on sale for preorder on Friday, Sept. 13 at 5 a.m. PT, and it will ship out on Sept. 20. The iPhone 11 and 11 Pro Max will also have the same preorder and ship dates. As for pricing, the iPhone 11, 11 Pro, and 11 Pro Max will start at $699, $999, and $1,099, respectively, according to the reveal during the keynote.

Apple has a track record of using awesome tunes to promote their products. One of my favorite commercials is the 2008 promo for Apple's first generation MacBook Air. The ad featured the upbeat folk song "New Soul" by Yael Naim, and it got me singing in the shower. The use of the song not only benefited Apple but also Naim "New Soul" reached No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 after being featured in the commercial.

Another time Apple used an iconic song was when they featured "Shut Up and Let Me Go" by The Ting Tings in their iPod commercial. The 2008 promo was one of the last iterations of the company's silhouette ads. Like "New Soul," "Shut Up and Let Me Go" skyrocketed in popularity after the commercial. Last year, in 2018, Apple slowed it down for the iPhone XS promo song. The company used a jazzy tune called "Nothing Burns Like The Cold" by Snoh Aalegra featuring Vince Staples.

With such popular hits from past commercials, it's not surprising that Apple promos now go hand in hand with good music. With all the new music introduced during this year's keynote promo videos, I'll be dancing to good tunes for days.

Does Apple Have Payment Plans? The iPhone 11 Pro Max Costs A Pretty Penny

This year's iPhones have an exciting range of new features, from wide-angle cameras and 4K high-quality video to a fun, updated range of colors. But, of course, all good things come to an end, and Apple's announcements were punctuated with a reminder of just how much a phone upgrade will cost this year. The newest iPhones cost anywhere from $699 to $1099, which have some hopefuls wondering: Does Apple have payment plans? You're in luck, because these gadgets can get pricey.

At the annual Apple Keynote, held this year on Sept. 10 at the Steve Jobs theater, Apple finally gave us the lowdown on its latest line of iPhones, and they're not cheap. The iPhone 11 Pro will cost upwards of $999. The more expensive iPhone 11 Pro Max will cost $1099, while the cheapest, standard iPhone 11 will begin at $699.

Observers had speculated that prices would be similar to last years, and they were largely within the ballpark at about a minimum price of $749. While that makes the iPhone 11 actually $50 cheaper than its predecessor, its still a pretty hefty price tag, and you may be wondering how you could pay for a new smartphone without burning a giant hole in your wallet this month. Fortunately, Apple offers a payment plan for phones and other tech products that allow you to spread them out over time.

According to its website, the iPhone Upgrade Program is another option to make prices more manageable with AppleCare+ insurance included. For instance, last years iPhones the iPhone X, iPhone X Max, and iPhone XR are listed online with monthly payment options ranging from prices in the $30s to $60s. However, this is probably not appealing if youre not interested in upgrading your phone every year and are just looking to invest in the latest model.

Its also noteworthy that Apple offers its Trade In program, which is good for both your savings and the environment. If you trade in your current iPhone (or a range of other Apple products, too), Apple will not only recycle the device, but it will offer you a price quote that can be used as credit toward your next phone or be saved on an Apple gift card.

This means that the iPhone 11 can cost just $399 with a trade in, or $17 per month. The iPhone 11 Pro would cost $599 with a trade in, or $25 per month, and the iPhone 11 Pro Max $699 with a trade in, or $29 per month. Apple announced it will also keep the iPhone XR and iPhone 8 on the market for $599 and $449 each, respectively.

Similarly to the iPhone XR, the iPhone 11 is the best money-saving option, and you have the added benefit of more color options. The iPhone Pro and iPhone Pro Max come in Midnight Green, Space Gray, Silver, and Gold, while you can pick between an iPhone 11 in Purple, White, Yellow, Green, Black, or Product Red.

The three iPhones will be available for pre-order beginning Friday, Sept. 13, on the Apple website. Depending on your location, Apple will begin shipping the smartphones on Sept. 20. In the meantime, it is definitely worthwhile to get an estimated price quote for your current phone online. Its always good to be prepared and, with a purchase this big, every dollar counts.

Apple released the new iPhone 11, 11 Pro, and 11 Pro Max during its biggest event of the year, and it's causing so much buzz. Fans are wondering about all the details of the new phone, from how much it costs to how it looks. Let's face it: Everything's important when it comes to the iPhone, since the gadget is central to so many people's daily routine. You're probably wondering: Does the iPhone 11 Pro Max come in rose gold? Here is the lowdown on the the new iPhone 11 Pro Max, which is def this year's coolest innovation.

Apple revealed the details for the new iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max during the Sept. 10 keynote address at company headquarters in Cupertino, California. Prior to Tuesday, people were speculating the iPhone 11 lineup would come in similar shades as the 2018 iPhone lineup, which included Silver, Space Gray, and Gold, notably missing a Rose Gold hue. There were also rumors of new Green and Lavender shades, per Tech Radar. During the keynote address, Apple confirmed some of the rumors when the colors for the iPhone 11 were announced: Purple, White, Yellow, Green, Black, and Product RED. Rose Gold, however, was notably absent from the lineup, so you won't be able to get the iPhone 11 in the color. The iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max were unveiled in Midnight Green, Space Gray, Silver, and Gold. The new Midnight Green was showcased in a promotional video during the keynote, and it looked insanely sleek and sophisticated. However, no Rose Gold. Sorry, friends.

The Rose Gold was not available in last year's release of the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max either. On the other hand, Apple's 6.1-inch phone, the iPhone XR, showed off a more colorful palette, with offerings in white, red, yellow, coral, and blue.

Other new details that have people excited about the iPhone 11 lineup include the updated camera. You'll be able to take slow-mo videos using the front-facing camera, which Apple coined Slow-fies in their wacky promotional video for the functionality. The iPhone 11 will also have a battery life that lasts one hour longer than the iPhone XR, which is super helpful for those who bring their iPhone when they're on the go. The iPhone 11 Pro has even more high-quality features there are three camera lenses on the device, and one of them is an ultra-wide lens. According to Apple, it also has the toughest glass in a smartphone, and the battery will last four hours more than the iPhone XS. The iPhone 11 Pro Max will last give hours more than the iPhone XS.

The iPhone 11 starts at $699, the iPhone 11 Pro starts at $999, and the iPhone 11 Pro Max starts at $1,099. You can order pre-order the phone on Sept. 13 at 5 a.m. PDT, and they'll ship a week later on Sept. 20. Act fast when you pre-order the morning of Sept. 13 to make sure you're totally up to date with Apple's latest tech.

As always, the Apple 2019 Keynote Address did not disappoint. With the reveal of the iPhone 11 at Apple's annual fall event, the innovative technology company promises a huge year ahead. If you want to be one of the first Apple fans to get their hands on a shiny new iPhone 11 model, like the iPhone 11, 11 Pro, and 11 Pro Max, don't waste any time. Here's how to preorder the iPhone 11 Pro Max, so you can experience firsthand all the cool new features Apple unveiled.

At the keynote address on Tuesday, Sept. 10, at the Steve Jobs Theater in Cupertino, Apple announced the iPhone 11. The new iPhone 11 comes in three models, the iPhone 11, 11 Pro, and 11 Pro Max. As for the price, the models start at $699, $999, and $1,099, respectively. Fans have been speculating about which shades the iPhone 11 would come in, and Apple finally put an end to the rumor mill by announcing the following colors for the iPhone 11: Purple, White, Yellow, Green, Black, and Product RED. This expanded color line is a change from the three colors that were available for the iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR. The iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max are available in Midnight Green, Space Gray, Silver, and Gold. The new Midnight Green was showcased in a promotional video during the Keynote Address, and it's sophisticated aesthetic was definitely memorable.

You'll want to mark your calendar for Friday, Sept. 13, the day when you can officially preorder all of the iPhone 11 models. And ordering starts early at 5 a.m. PT.

Pre-ordering is easy just head on over to the Apple website on Friday, Sept. 13, and pick out the model you want. The product ships out a week later on Sept. 20 and in no time, you'll be sporting your brand new iPhone 11, 11 Pro, or 11 Pro Max.

The new model also is a major upgrade to existing versions of the iPhone. There's now a dedicated Night mode which will allow you to take better pictures in dark lighting, and it'll kick in automatically when it's dark. The phones also sport longer battery lives, with the iPhone 11 Pro promising four more hours of battery life than the iPhone XS. The new features will undoubtedly make the device much more streamlined and efficient.

Even though there aren't many brand new changes to the overall look of the newest smartphones, the internal upgrades might just be enough for current iPhone owners to think about going for an upgrade. Of course, most current iPhone owners will get the added benefit of the iOS 13 update, when it comes to most phones later this month.

If you want the best of all the upgrades, though, iOS 13 will come standard on the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max, so it's really up to you if you want to drop the cash for one of the newest iPhones. Thankfully, you have a little time to think about it before the preorder starts on Friday, Sept. 13 at 5 a.m. PT with a ship date of Sept. 20.

If you want a lover, a personal assistant, a therapist, and a life coach all in one, than you should probably date a Virgo. Those born between Aug. 23 to Sept. 22 do have a tendency to be a little... well, intense, but is that such a bad thing? Virgos were basically born to give. They want to make you better, and they want to make the world better, but you should know a few things before dating one. I've rounded up some tweets about dating a Virgo that capture all the complexities and idiosyncrasies of this earth sign, and they're hilariously accurate.

As long as you're open to a little (OK, a lot) of unsolicited advice, then a Virgo will help you be your best self. Want a bedroom closet that makes even Marie Kondo envious? Find yourself a Virgo to date, and they'll make it happen. Virgos aren't the easiest to woo, but if you are lucky enough to date one, then you'll have a practical, precise, and punctual partner committed to making your life easier. If you've ever dated a Virgo or if you are one yourself, then these tweets will make so much sense to you.

,

They Know Exactly What They Want And When They Want It

But honestly, they're just trying to make your life easier rather than leaving you guessing.

They Love To Plan Ahead

If anyone is going to schedule a dick appointment with you, it's a Virgo.

They Can't Stand Messes

If you're having a Virgo over to Netflix and chill, make sure your place is tidy or they'll be more compelled to clean up than hook up.

They Even Consider Cleaning To Be A Stress Reliever

Virgos may seem to have it all together, but they get stressed, too they just throw themselves into a new task to hide it.

They Appreciate When You Make An Effort

This sign is about aesthetics, so make sure you brush your teeth twice and floss before your date with a Virgo.

They're A Touch Judgmental

It's only because they see your true potential and want to help you achieve it even if it takes a little tough love.

They're Almost Always Convinced They're Right

Think you know better than a Virgo? LOL. We'll see about that. Don't say they didn't warn you.

They Definitely Won't Admit If They're Wrong

If a Virgo does make a bad judgment call (which is a very rare occasion), be prepared for them to deny it until their dying day.

They Tend To Put Up Walls Between Themselves And Others

It's not that they don't want to let you in it just takes some time before they decide you're trustworthy enough to see their vulnerable side.

They're A Little Tough To Read

How do you know if a Virgo is mad at you? They ignore you. How do you know if a Virgo has a crush on you? They ignore you. How do you know the difference? You don't.

They Remember Literally Everything

They may not be the most affectionate sign, but they will remember every single date you go on, every single present you buy each other, and every last anniversary, no matter how inconsequential.

They're Determined To Make You As Efficient As They Are

Virgos tend to be Marie Kondos at heart. If they think they can help you step up your organization game, they won't hesitate to tell you how.

They Just Want To Make The World A Better Place

Virgos are givers, and any spare time they have is going to be spent improving you, improving your relationship, and probably even improving the world in general.

They're Incredibly Powerful Especially When They Date Each Other

Virgos have the power to change the world.

There's no denying that Virgos are strong as hell, and a relationship with one is sure to change your life, whether you like it or not. Who couldn't use some Virgo energy in their life?

The PSLs have made their triumphant return, the fall beers are flowing, and whether youve accepted it or not, Halloween is fast approaching. That means its time to start brainstorming your and baes coordinating costumes, fam. Because no one wants to scramble to put together a lame last-minute ensemble for a party. Luckily, there are a plethora of couples costumes for Halloween 2019 that are not only easy peasy to assemble, but also cute AF. As in, your Instagram post is bound to rack up the likes, #nofilterneeded.

Theres something especially fun about a costume idea that takes two. Not only is it often easier for others to guess what youre dressed up as when you come as a dynamic duo, but it also serves as a bonding experience. Undoubtedly, you and your boo will get a kick out of looking back at the photos of your joint costume and remembering the process of putting it together.

When it comes down to it, the best couples costumes are the ones that both reflect your unique personalities and interests while referencing the past. Need some ideas? Whether youre hitting up your besties bash or heading to a local bar, here are a few clever and creative couples costumes that are simply timeless.

,

Harry Potter & Hermione

Whether or not you were crossing your fingers that Harry and Hermione would get married and live happily ever after, one things for sure: These two had a friendship unlike any other in the Wizarding World. Fortunately, paying homage to these beloved besties is fairly simple.

Hermione should wear a white button-down, pleated dark skirt, v-neck vest, a tie in the Gryffindor colors (scarlet and gold), and a black robe. Dont forget the dark knee-high socks and Mary Jane or loafer shoes. For Harry, youll need a white button-down, black pants and black shoes, a sweater vest, a striped scarf in the Gryffindor colors, and a pair of round glasses. Bonus points if you give Harry a wand and use makeup to create a lightning-shaped scar on his forehead.

Cruella De Vil & A Dalmatian

Honestly, is there any villain more epic than Cruella de Vil? She drives a baller set of wheels, she rocks fur like no other, and her distinctive half-black, half-white hair is a full #lewk.

Given that the live-action reboot of 101 Dalmatians is in the works, it only makes sense to pay homage to the Disney classic with a couples costume. For Cruella, grab an all-black ensemble, a long spotted faux-fur coat, red gloves, a wig, and a cigarette holder. For the Dalmatian, try adding black polka dots to a white sweatsuit or PJs, and a pair of ears to a hoodie or headband.

Jasmine & Aladdin

Given the release of the live-action adaptation of Disneys Aladdin, theres no better time to channel your inner princess and street urchin.

You can totally purchase couples costumes that are already assembled, but you can also put together a DIY version with just a few items. You just need some harem pants and a shrunken vest for Aladdin, and an aqua blue bra top, sheer skirt, and harem pants with a matching headband for Jasmine. Just dont forget to snap a pic on your magic carpet (a regular ol rug on your living room floor). #DoitfortheGram.

Woody & Jessie

Whats not to love about this cowboy/cowgirl duo? Pay homage to Toy Story 4, which just came out in June, by dressing up as the cutest BFFs in the Roundup Gang.

Both Woody and Jessie need jeans, a belt with a big buckle, and cowboy boots. For Woody, youll also want to round up a vest with a badge, a brown cowboy hat, and a red bandana. For Jessie, add on some cowhide chaps and a red cowboy hat, and be sure to braid your hair.

Mary Poppins & Bert

The nanny with magical powers and the lovable chimney sweep are, without a doubt, the most supercalafragilisticexpialidocious Disney characters in history. So, they also happen to be a no-brainer when it comes to couples Halloween costumes.

Mary Poppins costume requires a button-down blouse, a voluminous navy or black skirt, a red bow tie, a long navy or black coat, oxford booties, a felt hat (ideally with floral accents), white gloves, and naturally, a massive black umbrella. Bert needs a grey or red button-down shirt, a dark charcoal or black vest and matching dress pants, a red scarf, a newsboy cap, and a chimney cleaning brush attached to a handle. You can use black eyeshadow to create the iconic soot marks on Berts face. And #boom you're both practically perfect in every way.

Bonnie & Clyde

Youre partners in crime in real life, so you might as well pay homage to an infamous bank-robbing duo. In a pinch, you can snag a full Bonnie and Clyde costume online, but you can also go the DIY route as well.

For Bonnie, youll need a short-sleeved yellow sweater or button-down blouse, a tweed pencil skirt, a silk patterned scarf around your neck, and a beret. For Clyde, youll need a pinstriped jacket (or vest) with matching dress pants, a white button-down, a tie, and a fedora. You can also have one bring a fake bag of money for the full criminal effect.

Sandy & Danny

This classic costume never fails to trigger some nostalgia after all, come Halloween, many have just kissed their summer lovin goodbye.

You have options with this one, too. You can either choose to do a version with the innocent cheerleader version of Sandy, or the BAMF she turns into at the end of Grease. For the former, you should hunt down some pom-poms, a red skirt, white sneakers, and a sweater that you can add Rydell High to. For the greaser version, youll want to seek out skin-tight black pants, an off-the-shoulder bodysuit, a black leather jacket, and red peep-toe shoes. Danny just requires a white or black T-shirt, black leather jacket, and black jeans (plus, a whole lot of hair product, of course).

Jay Gatsby & Daisy Buchanan

Party like its 1925 with this couples costume, which pays tribute to the classic F. Scott Fitzgerald novel.

To dress up as Gatsby, the elusive man who throws elaborate shindigs to impress Daisy, you simply need a full tux with a bowtie. Channel Daisys flapper vibes with a peach, champagne, or blush colored knee-length shift dress thats either beaded or sequined. Some T-strap pumps, glamorous jewelry, and an art deco headband with a feather or jewel accent will tie it all together.

Feeling inspired? Theres no reason why putting together a killer couples costume should be stressful or break the bank. These foolproof ideas are bound to not only present some phenomenal photo ops but also fully solidify your #couplegoals status.

Will The iPhone XR Price Drop In 2019? The New iPhones Are Taking Over

Now that Apple has rolled out its newest lineup of iPhones at its annual keynote address, the fate of its previous generation of smartphones is up in the air. Considering that the tech giant bid adieu to its iPhone X in 2018 and phased out its last phones with headphone jacks following the rollout of its iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR at its Cupertino event last year, you might be wondering: Will the iPhone XR price drop or will it be discontinued now that the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro are here? Here's what we know.

On Tuesday, Sept. 10, Apple announced the three latest additions to take the smartphone world by storm while revealing that it will be discontinuing its iPhone 7 as well as its iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max. Elite Daily reached out to Apple to confirm the apparent discontinuation of the three models, but did not hear back at the time of publication. However, I checked Apple's website, and it appeared that the iPhone 7, the iPhone XS, and the iPhone XS Max are no longer available to purchase on there.

According to Tim Cook, the new iPhone 11, the iPhone 11 Pro, and the iPhone 11 Pro Max will be available to preorder starting Friday, Sept. 13, and it looks like they'll all be coming with some significant updates over their predecessors. For one, you can expect each to boast a camera with an additional rear-facing lense and a more efficient A13 bionic chip, in addition to iOS 13, which will basically make things run a lot faster and more efficiently.

While it's easy to get caught up in all the new gadgets and updates that are on show at the tech company's annual event, not everyone is ready to spring for a new phone. If you're looking to score some bargains on previous iPhone models, you might be wondering what your options are now that Apple has reportedly discontinued its iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max. Apple has previously discontinued phones older than its iPhone 6S (basically, all smartphones which had a jack for headphones) and its iPhone X due to the fact that the 2017 phone was retailing at the same price point as its XS, XS Max, and XR.

Now that Apple has rolled out its new iPhone 11 for just $699 while its iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max will be retailing for $999 and $1,099, the company's remaining lineup of older phones is taking a pretty big price cut. During the keynote address, Tim Cook confirmed that the company will be selling its its iPhone 8 for $499 and its iPhone XR for $599 (compared to its previous price of $749), so yes, you'll definitely be saving money if you decide to go with a slightly older model.

While you have to wait until Friday, Sept. 13 if you want to purchase one of Apple's newest smartphones, it appears that you can buy both the iPhone XR and iPhone 8 now at their new discounted price, so I'd weigh your options and make some moves if you're in the market for a new phone.

Don't sleep on Virgos. Although these earth signs have a reputation for being a little bit uptight, they're always thinking of others. Their knack for listening, communicating, and understanding what others need definitely comes in handy in the bedroom (pun very much intended). More good news: There are a couple of lucky zodiac signs most sexually compatible with Virgos. And if you're one of the following four signs, you're in for a real treat.

Need an example of Virgo's sex appeal? Look no further than Queen Bey herself. Beyonc demonstrates her sexual confidence in her music, with lyrics like, "Driver roll up the partition, please. I don't need you seeing 'Yonce on her knees. It took 45 minutes to get all dressed up, we ain't even gonna make it to this club." Bow down.

Additionally, Virgos are compassionate and always go the extra mile. In the bedroom, this can mean pulling out all the stops and leaving their partners speechless. When it comes to sex, Virgos always bring their "A" game. They work particularly well with other signs that encourage their spontaneity. And when a Virgo finds their perfect sexual partner, all bets are off.

The following signs are sure to make Virgo weak in the knees.

Libra (Sept. 23 Oct. 22)

Virgos and Libras are opposites that attract. Virgos are pretty regimented, while Libras crave spontaneity. They are so different that they tend to balance each other out. For instance, Libras love to be pampered, while Virgos enjoy showing folks a good time. This dynamic can create a great give-and-take between them in the bedroom.

Cancer (Jun 21 July 22)

Cancers and Virgos are passionate, nurturing signs. They're quite good at developing emotional bonds with others because they're very intuitive. As a result, they both love intimacy because it gives them a chance to build intense, romantic relationships with other people. If a Virgo and a Cancer fall in love, they'll connect on a deep level. Together, they'll embody "making love."

Gemini (May 20 June 21)

Geminis and Virgos are very different, but can agree on one thing: They love sex. They might find one another's personalities frustrating, but that dissonance can foster a heightened sexual tension. Geminis are intrigued by Virgos' pragmatic sensibilities, while Virgos are turned on by Gems' quick wit and sensual energy.

Taurus (April 20 May 19)

Virgos and Taureans are both stubborn signs, and therefore, may not be the best romantic pairing. That being said,sparks can really fly between them in the bedroom as well as on the kitchen counter, in the shower, on top of the laundry machine, and even on the floor. Virgo and Taurus' sexual chemistry is off the charts. Virgos might enjoy pleasing their partners, but when it comes to serving others, Taureans could give them a run for their money.

TBH, anyone could have some fire sex with this earth sign. If you're one of the aforementioned signs, send your Virgo bae a GCal invite for what you plan to do to them later there's a good chance they'll hit "accept."

There is just so much buzz going on about Apple's biggest event of the year, the 2019 Apple Keynote Address. It's not surprising, since the company revealed tons of exciting news during the address. Since Apple fans are unbelievably loyal and knowledgeable about the company's products, social media is definitely the best place to keep up with the latest trending convo on the release of the iPhone 11 and the new iOS 13 operating system. The tweets about the iPhone 11 Pro Max highlight the positive reception of the new product.

During the Apple Keynote Address on Tuesday, Sept. 10, at Steve Jobs Theater in Cupertino, California, iPhone released the newest models of the iPhone: the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max. The latest iPhones come with the coolest new upgrades, like extra battery life and a new A13 chip, and the iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max even have a third camera. There are a few new colors in the mix, too, with Purple for the iPhone 11 and Military Green for the 11 Pro and Pro Max. The new phones have new starting prices, too $699 for the iPhone 11, $999 for the iPhone 11 Pro, and $1,099 for the iPhone 11 Pro Max, respectively.

Naturally, Apple customers are going wild for the new technology. Fans took it to the internet to express their excitement and anticipation of getting their hands on the gadgets, which are available for pre-order on Sept. 13 and start shipping to customers on Sept. 20. Check out these tweets from users and you'll be motivated to get your very own device on Friday.

Of course, some Twitter users couldn't help but poke a little fun at the new pieces of technology. I have to say, the look of the three cameras on the back of the phone is a little much, but after seeing the quality of those pics, I still want one myself.

Even if you don't get in on the new iPhone game, you can still likely enjoy the benefits of the new iOS 13 once it hits most phones in late September. One of the older phones not included in the upgrade is the iPhone 6, but if you have an iPhone 6S or newer (that includes the 7, 8, X, XR, XS, or XS Max), you'll be able to enjoy updates like Dark Mode, new Portrait Lighting controls, and enhanced video editing tools. Of course, all of this will be included on the new iPhone 11, 11 Pro, and 11 Pro Max as well when they ship out with iOS 13 on Sept. 20. I'm glad Apple isn't making us wait so long for the new phones because I need to get my hands on the 11 Pro Max ASAP.

Even though many Apple users will get new updates with iOS 13 once it goes live, it seems like smartphone stans are still hype about the newest additions to Apple's iPhone lineup. TBH, with new colors like the Military Green, I can't really blame them.
