The new Halo TV show manages to look incredibly cheap and expensive at the same time, will release on March 24

A Halo live-action movie has been in the works since 2007 and after years of languishing in production hell, we’ve finally got a trailer. The new show is being developed at Paramount Plus, home of the excellent Yellowstone. We actually got a bit of sneak-peek at the show back during the Game Awards but we’ve now got a full-fledged trailer that shows off some of the story and what fans can expect. The Halo TV show stars Pablo Schreiber as Master Chief and we’ve got a bunch of riff-raff that no one cares about. The show will hit the streaming service on March 24, 2022. 

The new Halo trailer just hit the internet

Judging from the trailer, it seems that the showrunners have not followed the game canon and will be telling a story that is separate from the main Halo games. While that sounds well and good, we are more concerned about the show pushing The Message, like every other modern TV show. Also, the sets and some of the effects look incredibly cheap, like it was filmed at a CW set but some of it looks excellent. For what it’s worth, this reminds us of The Witcher on Netflix, which is a travesty of epic proportions. You can check out the trailer below to confirm our suspicions. 

We also get a good look at Cortana and the Arbiter. While the Arbiter does look accurate to the game, Cortana is anything but. To be fair, 343 Studios kind of destroyed the franchise so it’s fitting that the show will be using more designs from their games. Oh well, you can check out the trailer below and judge it for yourselves. As far as we are concerned, this looks to be dead on arrival.

Apple iMac Pro could make a comeback alongside iPhone SE 5G, and Mac Mini during 2022 Spring Event

According to the latest Mark Gurman’s newsletter, Apple is likely to re-release the iMac Pro during its upcoming Spring 2022 event. Introduced in 2017 as a workstation-grade computer, Apple discontinued the iMac Pro last year. Also, as everyone knows, Cupertino is slowly but steadily shifting its entire range of devices on powerful homemade Apple silicon, it's probably the best time for the discontinued iMac Pro to make a triumphant return. The newsletter alleges that the Apple iMac Pro will likely have a bigger screen size than 24-inch. It may also feature a mini-LED ProMotion 120Hz display. 

Apart from that, Apple currently sells two iMac products - a 24-inch M1 powered version and a bigger 27-inch model still using an Intel 10th Gen processor lineup. Another recent report also alleged that the 27-inch iMac is also likely to get the M1 silicon treatment. If the rumours from Ross Young, a display industry consultant are true. The newer Apple 27-inch iMac could feature a mini-LED ProMotion display with 120Hz high refresh rate support. 

Apple could launch the iMac Pro and the 27-inch iMac separately, equipping each of them with some combination of M1 Pro and M1 Pro Mac chip or Cupertino can release a single iMac and discontinue the 27-inch iMac altogether. Personally, I think the former event has a higher possibility. 

Apple 27-inch iMac Pro And Other Probable Spring 2022 Event Announcements

If speculations are anything to go by then the upcoming Apple 2022 Sprint event will feature a lot of new products. In addition to the above-mentioned iMac products, Apple will more than likely also launch the iPhone SE 5G, which is the current-gen iPhone SE but 5G enabled, more powerful and equipped with better photography capabilities.

Similarly, Apple could also introduce a “Mac Mini Pro” introducing its latest M1 Pro and M1 Pro Max chips to the ultra-portable desktop computer. Last year also Apple introduced a bunch of new items like the AirTags, Apple TV 4K (2nd Gen), new iPhone 12 colour options and the iPad Pro during its Spring 2021 event held in April. With the pandemic in full force, expect the Apple Spring Event 2022 timeline to be similar.
