Meta has suddenly launched its new Instagram ‘Edits’ app on the App Store and Google Play. In a bid to compete with TikTok’s CapCut editing software, Edits allows users to more easily edit videos and then share them on Instagram. Earlier this year, CapCut was removed from the App Store in the US as threats of ByteDance’s software being banned began to seep in. As a means to potentially replace CapCut, Meta announced that it was working on a mobile video editing app.

This month, Ubisoft launched Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown on iOS and Android. Porting over the award-winning metroidvania game, I was eager to test it out and see how one of my favourite games from 2024 would fare on iPhone 16. I really set out to see how Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown handled on a portable smartphone, comparing it to the console experience after putting in over 40 hours the year prior. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown was released in early 2024 on January 18th.
