If you’re looking for a way to pass the time but none of your current mobile titles appeal to you, go to the Epic Games Store and download Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II. Both are free on the Epic Games Store mobile app until March 20, and once you download them, they’re yours forever.
Unfortunately, this only applies to Android users — although if you live in the EU, you can also get these free on iOS. Both titles are examples of BioWare at its finest. These early-Xbox era RPGs offer dozens of hours of playtime, and these aren’t flimsy mobile ports — each is the full-fledged game.
The stories of the games are set roughly 4,000 years before the events of the main Star Wars films and let you immerse yourself in the world of the Jedi. Don’t worry about controls; both games are well-suited for mobile play, and they still hold up two decades later.

Mobile gaming is growing increasingly popular as time goes on, and Epic Games has been targeting the mobile market for months. The company already released multiple other games like Cultist Simulator, Machinarium, Rocket League Sideswipe, and many more.
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is due to get a full remake for the PlayStation 5, although the exact date of its release is as unknown as the mysteries of the Force. Even so, the original games are still a ton of fun, and since both are free, you have nothing to lose by downloading them for a day when you feel the urge to swing a Lightsaber.

I won’t be buying an iPhone 16e for anyone in my family, here’s why
Apple’s iPhone 16e is a strange duck. When one sits down and considers the specs, it’s hard to figure out where it truly fits into Apple’s lineup.
It’s apparent from the name that Apple wants you to see it as the new junior member of the iPhone 16 lineup. That’s certainly fair, and it’s arguably about time that the iPhone family got a third tier. After all, Apple’s chief rivals like Google and Samsung have had their A-series and FE-series phones for years.

It’s official: Samsung confirms the existence of the Galaxy A56, A36, and A26
Rumors have swirled about Samsung’s unreleased Galaxy A56, A36, and A26 handsets, but the company has yet to confirm their existence. That changed today when the three devices were listed on the Chilean Samsung service website. The website is aimed at customers who are out of warranty but need repairs, listing the price for different models.
Since none of these handsets are released yet, the price is simply listed as “not available.” However, it does give us the model numbers.

The iPhone 17 Air might have a larger screen than we thought
The iPhone 17 Air has been the subject of no small number of different rumors and leaks, and now the latest one suggests its screen might be up to 6.7 inches in size rather than the expected 6.6 inches. The information comes from tipster Jon Prosser on the Recycle Bin podcast.
This is far from the first rumor we’ve heard about the screen size. Last year, Ross Young initially suggested a 6.55-inch display — that would be 6.6 rounded up — but estimates have ping-ponged since then. Few Apple devices have had as many conflicting rumors as the iPhone 17, so take this with more than a grain of salt.
