For those hoping that the last moments of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes would deliver a reality-bending twist, you might be slightly disappointed. For everyone else who is just looking forward to another installment that would continue with the same heartfelt sci-fi character drama that made the last three films solid, then there’s good news. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is a surprisingly sweet epic, with almost zero plot holes, other than, perhaps, a stubborn refusal to answer the biggest question everyone might have.

If you want to know why things are the way they are in this world, Kingdom is not here to hold your paw. Instead, it continues the same thought experiment that the 2014 sequel Dawn of the Planet of the Apes began: What if you made a sci-fi movie that was mostly not about humans? On that level, as a standalone movie, Kingdom succeeds. But as a franchise builder? As part of the Apes franchise? Well, let’s just say there’s a little bit of monkey business to discuss.

Not too long ago, smartphones had more personality. An iPhone with a home button looked distinct from a BlackBerry with a keyboard; an HTC might have used metal instead of the plastic in a Motorola; Samsung phones flaunted their curved glass edges while OnePlus devices touted pop-selfie cameras.

You used to be able to identify what phone everyone used just because they all had so much character. Nowadays, phones mostly all look the same. With the exception of phones that fold or flip, they’re turning into iPhone clones.

The last easy way to distinguish phones in the wild is by their rear camera setup. How many lenses does a phone have? Do they sit on a platter or a bar? Are the lenses vertically or horizontally aligned?

When I visited Google’s highly secured Pixel CMF (Colors, Materials, and Finish) and Industrial Design lab last month to talk with the head of Pixel cameras, Isaac Reynolds, I also took a little detour to chat with Claude Zellweger, Director of Industrial Design (aka the guy in charge of designing new Pixel hardware).
