Marvel has seemingly confirmed when Deadpool and Wolverine will arrive on Disney Plus – and unveiled its full TV show line-up for late 2024 and all of 2025.

As reported by numerous outlets including Discussing Film and The Direct, a new Marvel trailer, which leaked online yesterday (October 29) and may officially arrive alongside Agatha All Along's final episode, revealed the comic book giant's entire TV slate for the next 14 months. The teaser also confirms when Deadpool and Wolverine will make its Disney Plus debut: Tuesday, November 12.

The sizzle reel leak comes less than 24 hours after I reported that Marvel was gearing up for a bumper year on Disney Plus in 2025, with up to seven new Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) shows set to land on the entertainment giant's main streaming platform. Well, I was almost right, because one of those TV series – What If...? season 3 – will launch before the end of 2024. It'll make its Disney Plus bow on December 22, but it's unclear if What If...?'s third and final season will release in full on that date, or if new episodes will release daily up like What If...? season 2 did.

As for Marvel's 2025 TV release schedule, here's a quick rundown of when each series will premiere on Disney Plus:

• Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man – January 29
• Daredevil: Born Again – March 4
• Ironheart – June 24
• Eyes of Wakanda – August 6
• Marvel Zombies – October (date TBC)
• Wonder Man – December (date TBC)

Marvel's 2025 TV show line-up explained: Wonder Man, Marvel Zombies, and more

We're still many months away from seeing if these shows will be great enough to join our best Disney Plus shows ranks, but Marvel has given us a taste of what to expect from them in the leaked teaser.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, which has a 3D cel shaded aesthetic, is a non-canon MCU animated series that'll explore Peter Parker's origin story and early days as the titular webslinger. As the footage reveals, it'll introduce us to a number of classic Spider-Man allies and villains from the comics – some of whom, such as Amadeus Cho and Bentley Whittman/The Wingless Wizard, haven't been seen before in a live-action or animated Spider-Man project.

On the Daredevil: Born Again front, the leaked video treated us to 20 seconds of new footage from Matt Murdock's standalone MCU series. The quick cut-style content showed, among other things, Murdock and arch nemesis Wilson Fisk meeting in an undisclosed cafe, as well asJon Bernthal's Frank Castle/The Punisher. Numerous shots of the titular vigilante fighting various goons and more formidable foes, including Bullseye, who some readers will recognize from Daredevil's three-season run on Netflix, were also shown, too.

Meanwhile, 15 seconds of Ironheart footage can be seen in the trailer leak. Following her supporting role in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Riri Williams has returned to her MIT studies and it seems she'll be making a brand-new Iron Man-inspired super suit in her spare time. We also get our first official look at Antony Ramos' The Hood, a magic wielder who'll be the Marvel Phase 6 show's primary antagonist.

Speaking of Black Panther, the next animated series to debut after Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man will be Eyes of Wakanda. A four-part anthology, it comprises a collection of tales throughout Wakanda's history and it appears to have an animation style we've not seen before from a Marvel production.

The Disney subsidiary's final animated project of 2025 will be Marvel Zombies. A spin-off from What If...? season 1 episode 'What If... Zombies!?', this four-part limited series will star Iman Vellani's Kamala Khan/Ms Marvel as she leads Earth's remaining superheroes in a last-ditch attempt to stop this universe's zombie horde – which includes fallen heroes and villains, such as Captain America and Thanos – among its number. Khan will be joined by the likes of Yelena Belova, Shang-Chi, Kate Bishop, and Blade, who's seen wearing Moon Knight's Khonshu costume. With Marvel reportedly shelving its live-action Blade film indefinitely, this is the only Blade-centric content we'll see for a while.

Lastly, Wonder Man, a Marvel Spotlight superhero comedy series co-developed by Shang-Chi director (and rumored Spider-Man 4 filmmaker) Daniel Destin Cretton, might be my most anticipated Marvel TV show outside of Born Again. Starring Yaya Abdul-Mateen II (Aquaman), it'll follow an actor/stuntman named Simon Williams, who auditions to become the lead superhero in a new TV show. Little does he know, though, that he's actually a superpowered individual. Ben Kingsley Trevor Slattery, who played small roles in Iron Man 3 and Shang-Chi, will star alongside Abdul-Mateen II.

With Marvel Phase 5 films Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts, plus Phase 6's first movie The Fantastic Four: First Steps, 2025 is going to be a packed year for Marvel. Indeed, 2021 was the last time that the comic titan released nine new productions in a calendar year – let's hope we don't all have superhero fatigue by the time December 2025 rolls around, eh?

The OnePlus 13 is about to launch, with tomorrow (October 31) being the big day. This initial launch will probably just be for China, but it does mean we’re only a day away from knowing all the specs of this phone – and we have a very good idea of the specs ahead of time thanks to a new leak.

We say ‘leak’, but this near-complete specs list was actually shared by TENAA (via GSMArena). That’s a Chinese certification agency, so information it holds on phones should generally be accurate and official.

According to TENAA, the OnePlus 13 has a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, a choice of 12GB, 16GB, or 24GB of RAM, and either 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage. The phone is also said to have a 6,000mAh battery with 100W wired and 50W wireless charging, and a 6.82-inch 1440 x 3168 screen with a 120Hz refresh rate.

The camera setup is reported to comprise a 50MP main snapper, a 50MP ultrawide, a 50MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom, and a 32MP front-facing camera. The phone is said to have an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, measure 162 x 76.5 x 8.5mm and weigh 213g, making it slightly shorter, wider, thinner, and lighter than the 164.3 x 75.8 x 9.2mm and 220g OnePlus 12.

While there’s a lot here, there isn’t much in the way of surprises, as OnePlus itself has actually confirmed most of the OnePlus 13’s camera specs. The company also previously revealed some OnePlus 13 screen details, and most of the other specs here have been previously leaked.

So while there’s nothing especially new in this leak, it does seem very likely that these details are accurate – even the unconfirmed ones, since TENAA itself will be working off official information.

If details are indeed accurate, the OnePlus 13 could be quite an upgrade over the OnePlus 12, with a bigger battery, more power, and new cameras. We should find out for sure on October 31, although if you’re hoping to buy the phone and you don’t live in China, you might be waiting until early 2025 to get your hands on it based on past form.

October is almost over, but XIaomi is planning to sneak not one, but two new wearable hardware releases out before Halloween.

The company is only targeting China with the dynamic duo so far, but it's quite likely the new models, the Smart Band 9 Pro and the Xiaomi Watch S4, will come to other markets in the coming weeks. That's according to a Chinese piece of marketing from Xiaomi, spotted by NotebookCheck.

If you've been reading this section of TechRadar you'll know that there have been a few leaks in recent weeks, and it appears the Apple Watch SE rival we spotted a fortnight ago could be one of the products getting a debut this week.

We've also seen leaks of an 'Active' variant of the Smart Band 9, which seemingly shrinks it down a little and will be an ideal option for anyone looking for a fantastic budget smartwatch.

Why is this exciting?

In many ways, it's that low price of admission that makes what Xiaomi's doing worth keeping an eye on.

The base Smart Band 9 earned a four-star rating in our review, where we praised its "smooth user interface, reliable health tracking, and a bright, bold display" for just $60 / £34.99 / AU$79.99.

The Watch S4 could be a standout, too, with suggestions it'll look closer to the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic with a classic-looking silver bezel. The S4 predecessor's 'swappable' bezel design is also included here for added customization.

For the past three years, the rise of IoT, cloud computing, and automation has made manufacturing the most cyberattacked industry. So, what can manufacturers do to become more secure against cyberattacks and avoid further financial loss and damage to their reputation? Cyber resilience requires manufacturers to focus on protecting interconnected OT and IT by controlling data access, network segmentation, and constant monitoring.

With it being the most cyberattacked industry and hacking occurring every 39 seconds, it’s no surprise that high-profile cyberattacks are a regular occurrence in the manufacturing industry. In 2022 and 2023, major car manufacturer Toyota was the center of cyberattacks, with one attack leaving 14 factories shut for 24 hours due to a virus infecting a file server. In the time the factories were shut they lost out on 13,000 vehicles being manufactured – highlighting the importance of cybersecurity to all companies no matter their size.

A company effort is required for cybersecurity

A common misconception among many organizations is that security is solely an IT problem, but it impacts customers and employees in plants around the world. Make UK research found that production stoppages were the most common result of a cyberattack (65%), with reputational damage ranking second (43%). What’s more, new customers now want reassurance on details of the cybersecurity in place before signing contracts. So how can manufacturers become more cyber resilient?

Manufacturing businesses can no longer delegate cybersecurity solely to their Security Operations Centre (SOC) teams. Rather, accountability for security should rest with top management across the organization with measures being introduced at every operational level.

1. It all starts by identifying the area’s most vulnerable to cyber attacks

The first step to improve cybersecurity measures begins with an assessment of the current level of digital readiness and an identification of areas for improvement. But knowing how to spread cybersecurity investment can be a challenge. As a top priority, manufacturers need to secure the boundary between IT and OT, and this involves safeguarding critical assets and preventing unauthorized access between systems. 

Manufacturers can prioritize cybersecurity efforts by quantifying risks and assessing the impact on operations in case of outages. Without this step, manufacturing companies will accumulate several security systems that don’t meet their needs and can lead to inefficiencies and potential security risks.

Cut down on response times by planning ahead

Next up is the crucial planning stages. It’s important to have a business continuity plan to ensure continuity during critical IT incidences. This will enable essential functions to continue for a limited time and help manufacturers manage supply chain disruption more effectively. A structured disaster recovery plan, understood by every employee, should follow to establish plans for swift responses to cybersecurity incidents and disruptive events, minimizing operational downtime.

Once manufacturers understand where the cyber weaknesses are, it’s time to put the defenses into action.

2. Data protection is key to keep your businesses operations and strategies safe

Manufacturing companies possess invaluable data that optimizes operations and drives innovation but without proper management and security, this data poses a significant security risk. In 2023, the global average cost of a data breach totaled USD 4.45 million, a 15% increase over 3 years.

Each piece of information, whether about vendors, partners, material quality, stakeholders, or finances can paint a comprehensive picture of a company's operations, strategies, and vulnerabilities. Financial data coupled up with stakeholder information for instance, could expose vulnerabilities in financial systems or potential points of leverage for competitors. This is where effective data governance policies and procedures such as clear guidelines on data sharing and access, along with strong encryption, can prevent data from falling into the wrong hands.

Data audits can assess the sensitivity and criticality of each dataset, and evaluate existing security measures and controls. Machine learning and AI technologies can help here by identifying pattern anomalies and potential data threats, enabling proactive risk management and threat detection.

3. Get ahead now, don’t wait for the next legislation to come into effect

Cybersecurity is not only a way to protect manufacturing operations as it safeguards a company’s brand perception. Manufacturers can reinforce customer trust by staying up-to-date on the latest cybersecurity certifications and regulations as it signals to the market that the company prioritizes security.

The Network and Information Security Directive (NIS2) is the next legislation set to impact manufacturing organizations that operate in the EU. The Directive aims to build on previous regulations by implementing more robust cybersecurity and resilience standards, as well as more stringent reporting measures in the event of a security incident – but are manufacturers ready to comply?

Failure to prepare will leave supply chains vulnerable

Shockingly, only three-quarters of organizations across the UK, France, and Germany have yet to complete preparations ahead of the NIS2 implementation date in October 2024. When failure to comply with NIS2 can lead to fines of up to €10m ($10.5m), or 2% of an organization's global annual revenue, it’s important that manufacturers assess how well existing cyber measures will comply with the upcoming legislation. 

As NIS2 aims to address the security of supply chains, companies will need to manage the cybersecurity risks associated with suppliers and ensure that appropriate security measures are in place throughout the supply chain. This presents an opportunity for companies to strengthen supply chains and build resilient relationships with trusted suppliers.

4. Access management prevents infection spreading

The connectivity between OT and IT environments allows employees to work across interfaces but it also creates new risks for workstations. An infected work terminal can become a stepping stone to the production environment through lateral movement. This is why manufacturers need to control access to operational technology and monitor network interfaces. 

Access management can help manufacturers introduce new authorization measures, such as multi-factor authentication, that ensure employees only access what they need, when they need it, and from approved locations.

The rise of hybrid workers calls for improved security measures

With more people working remotely and on their personal devices, it’s also important to consider the security implications of non-compliant devices. This is where stronger access controls and authentication methods can keep sensitive data and systems safe from potential threats.

5. Adopt a security-first culture

According to IBM’s X-Force Threat Intelligence Index report, embedded scripts in OneNote files, malicious links in PDFs, and executables disguised as document files are the most popular methods used by threat actors. All signs indicate that cyber threats are more likely to come through a company’s first line of defense – their employees. So how can manufacturers create a human firewall? 

Cybersecurity measures are only effective if employees understand best practices. This is where comprehensive training programs can help prepare employees with the knowledge and skills to adapt and excel with more secure workflows.

Don’t make life harder for employees

As with training programs, employees will only carry out proper cybersecurity practices if they are able to do so with ease. Robust access management processes supported by efficient tools can reduce delays and frustration for employees while helping manufacturers maintain security standards. Single sign-on for instance, which consolidates access to various systems under one account, improves security and adheres to zero-trust practices without sacrificing user convenience.

A new secure era for manufacturing is on the horizon

Manufacturers cannot get side tracked by new production pressures as additional cybersecurity investment will be key to unlocking increased production. 

One weak link could allow a cyber attack to enter the factory and attack their systems with catastrophic effect. Manufactures must act now to increase their cybersecurity measures and prevent the next attack before it’s too late.

Canon has announced four new lenses for its mirrorless cameras, three of which are touted 'hybrid', meaning that they are designed for video and still creators. They are the RF 24mm F1.4L VCM, RF 50mm F1.4L VCM and the RF 70-200mm F2.8L IS USM Z.

The two pro-grade primes and zoom are made for Canon's full-frame cameras and join two recently announced lenses of the same kind, the RF 35mm F1.4L VCM and RF 24-105mm F2.8L USM Z – the latter being quietly launched alongside the RF 200-800mm monster wildlife lens – bringing Canon's range of hybrid lenses to five in all.

In addition to the hybrid lenses, two of which are the long-awaited 24mm and 50mm F1.4 primes that finally get the treatment for mirrorless, Canon also unveiled a new stereoscopic lens for spatial video – the RF-S 7.8mm F4 STM DUAL for APS-C – which is currently only compatible with the EOS R7. Those four new lenses increase the number of Canon's RF system lenses to 52 in all – that's a super-impressive achievement in six short years of the RF-mount.

The RF 70-200mm F2.8L IS USM Z lens costs £3,449.99 (we'll update this article with US and Australia pricing shortly) and is available in white or black from November 14. Meanwhile, the sales start date for the RF 24mm F1.4L VCM and RF 50mm F1.4L VCM lenses is December with a specific date TBC – they're priced at £1,679.99 and £1,539.99 respectively. The RF-S 7.8mm F4 STM DUAL comes in at £519.99 and will go on sale some point in November.

(Image credit: Canon) A new dawn for Canon's professional lenses?

Canon seems set on video and still creators if its latest lenses are anything to go by. It says its RF mount "reflects the changing needs of the professional as the demand for a lens without compromise drives them to step into both worlds", although we don't know if this is the type of lens design we can expect going forward for its professional mirrorless cameras.

The RF 70-200mm F2.8 IS USM Z will sit alongside the existing RF 70-200mm F2.8L IS USM as a pricier alternative for hybrid users, adding a smooth aperture ring, 11-blade aperture, internal zoom, and minimal focus breathing. It's compatible with 1.4x and 2x teleconverters and comes in white (with a thermal barrier) or black – the latter could prove popular with filmmakers who need to be discreet on set.

And like the RF 24-105mm F2.8L USM Z, which is virtually the same size and weight being a little over 1kg, it is compatible with the same Power Zoom adapter for smooth and precise video zooming. Together, the two lenses cover off focal lengths from 24mm to 200mm.

Just like the new 70-200mm, the new RF 24mm F1.4 L VCM and RF 50mm F1.4 L VCM lenses are practically the same size and weight, and sit as a trio with the existing RF 35mm F1.4 L VCM. They also offer a video-friendly design with aperture ring and minimal focus breathing. However, these are entirely new for the RF mount, finally realizing the extremely popular 24mm and 50mm F1.4 primes for Canon's DSLRs in Canon's RF-mount for mirrorless cameras.

Given Canon's research, which says that 65% of professional photographers are now shooting video as some part of their work, and the changing needs of professional photographers, hybrid seems like a fair bet going forward. This trio of lenses could represent a new dawn for Canon's lens design, and we're all for it, even if the price of these lenses is expensive even by Canon standards.

Apple has long offered workshops and lessons in retail stores around the globe, from how to make the most of your iPhone to a bonafide summer camp – ‘Apple Camp’ – for kids, and as you might expect, they’ve cooked up an offering for Apple Intelligence.

Beginning Wednesday, October 30, 2024, at Apple Stores across the United States, there will be new bit-sized 15-minute drop-in sessions focused on Apple Intelligence. Both the features that shipped this week, iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1, and a look ahead at forthcoming features like the contextually aware Siri, Genomji, and Image Playground. These new Apple Intelligence sessions join the more formal 'Today at Apple' workshops and other drop-in sessions.

So whether you’re confused about Apple Intelligence, unsure of where to begin, or have a specific question about how to use writing tools or clean up in photos, an Apple Store is a place to visit.

Unlike other workshops or ‘Today at Apple’ events, there is no pre-registration for these Apple Intelligence drop-in sessions. At larger stores with a proper video wall, like The Grove in LA or Fifth Avenue in New York City, you might find that Apple retail employees will use the theater with a teaser graphic to tee it up. At smaller locations, you might just congregate around a table to go through the 15-minute or so presentation.

I got a special preview of the Apple Intelligence-focused workshop, and it feels a bit like a choose-your-own-adventure. The Apple specialist will walk you through key features like Writing Tools or Clean Up in Photos and tease out questions to get a sense of what might be the most helpful for the group attending.

If you have an iPhone, you can even walk through the Apple Intelligence features in real time. Demo devices will also be available if you’re tempted to upgrade but want to try it first.

Presenting Apple Intelligence in the drop-in Today at Apple format makes a ton of sense. It lets you go hands-on with many of the new Apple Intelligence features but doesn't overwhelm you. Additionally, you can ask questions and get walkthroughs. If you don’t happen to walk in when one is going on, you can always ask an Apple retail employee for one-to-one assistance.

You can also read our iPhone 16 review to get a sense of the Apple Intelligence experience on that device. However, Genmoji, Image Playground, and a ChatGPT integration for Siri should arrive in December 2024 with iOS 18.2.
