The iPhone 11 goes to Disneyland

THE DAILY CRUNCH
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17 2019 By Anthony Ha

We review the iPhone 11, WeWork's parent company delays its IPO roadshow and Amazon adds a new premium music subscription. Here's your Daily Crunch for September 17, 2019.

1. Review: The iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 do Disneyland after dark

Matthew Panzarino continues his tradition of testing out the latest iPhones at Disneyland. This time, he was particularly interested in how well the iPhone 11's Night Mode works. His verdict: It compares extremely well to other low-light cameras, with exposure and color rendition that's best-in-class.

But if you're planning to upgrade, should you get the Pro, or the regular ol' iPhone 11? Apparently the Pro is really there to address edge cases -- the best video and photo options, a better dark mode experience, a brighter screen.

2. Under pressure, The We Company now only says it expects to go public 'by the end of the year'

A new note from WeWork's parent company all but confirms that it is indeed delaying its IPO roadshow, which had been expected to commence this week.

3. Amazon launches Amazon Music HD with lossless audio streaming

Amazon has a new, high-quality streaming tier of its music service called Amazon Music HD. It's priced at $12.99 per month for Prime members, and you can add it to your existing Amazon Music subscription for an additional $5 each month.

4. Will Smith and Ang Lee are coming to Disrupt SF

They'll be joining us to discuss their upcoming film "Gemini Man," which features "jaw-dropping effects" from Weta Digital. The effects allow Smith to play both an assassin named Henry Brogan and a younger clone who's been sent to kill his older counterpart.

5. Computer scientist Richard Stallman, who defended Jeffrey Epstein, resigns from MIT CSAIL and the Free Software Foundation

Stallman said he has resigned from his position as a visiting scientist at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab after describing a victim of sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein as "entirely willing" in emails sent to a department list.

6. I hope Apple Arcade makes room for weird, cool shit

Apple Arcade seems purpose-built to make room in the market for beautiful, sad, weird, moving, slow, clever and heartfelt.

7. What startup CSOs can learn from three enterprise security experts

How do you keep your startup secure? That's one of the big questions we explored at TC Sessions: Enterprise earlier this month — and if you weren't there, we've got a write-up of the main takeaways. (Extra Crunch membership required.)
