If you're looking forward to the iPhone 16 series, you might want to decide what model to get as soon as possible after the launch event wraps up.

For the Pro and Pro Max, Apple will increase the display size to 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches, respectively. These iPhones will be powered by the A19 and A19 Pro chips, and the ultra-wide lens should get a 48MP sensor. Among the changes, the iPhone 16 Pro model could add a periscope lens, and most of the new models are expected to have longer battery life.

For the Ultra model, the new features depend on the functionality Apple plans to add to the Apple Watch Series 10, such as a new processor and new sensors. The design should remain the same. For the new iteration of the Apple Watch SE, Apple is expected to add a bigger display, switch the aluminum finish to plastic, and add improved sensors. AirPods 4 Image source: Christian de Looper for BGR Apple released the AirPods 3 in October 2022. An update is expected in late 2024, around September or October, per multiple reports. In addition to the H2 chip and improved battery life, these wireless earbuds could add hearing-aid-like features, such as Conversation Boost and Live Listen. Bloomberg reports that Apple is targeting the hearing aid market. Although these features aren’t guaranteed, these are some of the likely additions coming to AirPods 4. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman expects Apple to announce two AirPods 4 models. Both would move to USB-C from Lightning. The entry-level version would look similar to AirPods 3, while the pricier model would have a non-replaceable ear tip for ANC. The higher-end model would get an updated charging case with speakers for Find My alerts. Here’s everything we know about AirPods 4, AirPods Max 2, and more iOS 18 release date Image source: José Adorno for BGR Last but not least, Apple should announce the release date of iOS 18 during the iPhone 16 event.

Three bronze shields and a ceremonial bronze helmet, dedicated to Haldi, the chief god of the Urartians, were recently discovered during excavations at the historical Ayanis Castle in Van province, eastern Türkiye. Dated to 2,700 years ago, the shields and helmet were found at a depth of 6 to 7 meters (20-23 feet) beneath the floor of a room, protected by the collapse of the mudbrick walls caused by the ancient earthquake that devastated the castle. The placement allowed for a good state of preservation, albeit suffering minor fractures.

This recipe for Crock Pot Chicken and Gravy is a family favorite. Chicken, gravy mix, cream of chicken, sour cream and seasoning. Deliciously easy! AN EASY FAMILY-FAVORITE CROCK POT RECIPE This slow cooker meal is one of my favorites because it is one of those meals where you pretty much just pop all the ingredients in the crock pot, put the lid on, set it and go. I’ve been making this for well over 30 years and it is one that I always come back to when I am stumped on what to make for dinner. It’s also one of those meals my whole family likes and it doesn’t take a lot of ingredients. This is definitely up there in favorites along with my Crock Pot Pork Chops and Gravy! FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: What do I serve with Crock Pot Chicken and Gravy? My favorite way to serve this is over rice but we really like it with my Million Dollar Mashed Potatoes or some Honey Glazed Sweet Potatoes and some Butter Swim Biscuits. Either way, it is scrumptious! For a real delicious twist, we had a reader who shared they made this and served over thick and fluffy waffles to make like a Chicken and Waffles meal- talk about a DELICIOUS idea! What if I don’t like sour cream? Sour cream adds a great creaminess to this so I definitely recommend adding it in! Thick, plain Greek yogurt or some softened cream cheese can be substituted for the sour cream if it’s not something you care for. You can even use heavy cream just keep in mind heavy cream isn’t as thick as sour cream so the gravy may not be as thick as you’d like but it will still taste amazing! What else can I add to this? This is a simple dish as it is, but I think it would be tasty with some frozen veggies added in. I would think adding sliced mushrooms or bacon pieces would also be yummy. This is a very forgiving recipe so you can definitely play around with it. Can I cook Crock Pot Chicken and Gravy on high? You can but I do want to say that I would prefer to cook the chicken on low and slow since it helps the chicken get nice and tender and it will be super easy to shred! If you absolutely must cook it on high, you can do it for 3-4 hours. Can I double this recipe? As long as it fits in your crock pot, I don’t see why you can’t double this recipe! Can I use frozen chicken breasts? Yes, I have had many readers commented that they used frozen chicken, just be sure to check on the internal temp and make sure it’s cooked all the way. Chicken should reach 165F internally to be considered safe to eat. Also, frozen chicken tends to release some extra liquid, so the gravy may be a little watery and will need to be thickened. Just whisk together 3 Tablespoons cornstarch with 3 Tablespoons of water and pour into crock pot and turn the heat on high and it should thicken up some. Can I make this using a different cooking method? I’ve had readers ask about using an Instant Pot, in the oven, or on the stove and I personally haven’t tested any of those other methods. A reader who made it on the stove said that “I just made this recipe on stovetop and used medium high heat. I seared the chicken first. It came out moist and tender. The gravy did not burn on the bottom of the pan at all.” So, it sounds like using the stovetop method is viable. Using an Instant Pot was also mentioned by a reader, she said she made it in 10 minutes. But since I haven’t tested this yet myself, I can’t verify this or give you any other suggestions. I would also try to add a little water when making it in the Instant Pot so it will come up to pressure. I have not tried this in the oven yet but if you do, please comment below on how it went for you! How to store leftovers? Any leftovers should be transferred to an airtight container and kept in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can freeze leftovers in the freezer for up to 3 months. The texture may change over time once thawed and reheated though because of the gravy. INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE) chicken gravy mix– if you have a low sodium or no sodium version, you can use it. If you only have the canned gravy, I’ve had readers use that instead, although I haven’t tried it myself. You just have to watch the salt because when you make substitutions, you might unintentionally make this more salty than you want. cream of chicken soup– grab a can of cream of chicken soup, or make your own Homemade Cream of Chicken Soup. If you only have Cream of Mushroom soup, go ahead and use that if you’re in a pinch and don’t have what it needs to make your own Cream of Chicken. water– you could use no sodium chicken stock or chicken broth if desired. I really suggest sticking to a no sodium version as there is already a decent amount of salt in the gravy mix. boneless skinless chicken breasts– boneless chicken thighs could also be used or chicken tenderloins. garlic powder, salt and black pepper – you can use whatever seasoning mix you prefer. Lemon pepper, blackened chicken seasoning and cajun seasoning also work great! sour cream– plain Greek yogurt could be substituted or even some heavy cream. HOW TO MAKE CROCK POT CHICKEN AND GRAVY Season chicken breasts with garlic powder, black pepper and just a tad bit of salt on both sides. Note: the chicken gravy and cream of chicken soup already have salt in them so don’t go overboard on seasoning with salt (about a teaspoon should work.) In your slow cooker, whisk together the gravy packets, cream of chicken soup, and water. I just whisk until it is mostly smooth. Add the seasoned chicken breasts. Be sure to get them covered in gravy. Cover and cook on low for about 6-8 hours. Once cooked, break chicken up into chunks using a fork. Stir in sour cream. Serve over rice, mashed potatoes or noodles. CRAVING MORE RECIPES?

The ancient map offers a glimpse of how the Babylonians viewed the world thousands of years ago.

Matt LeBlanc was recently spotted out and about in Los Angeles last Friday as he made for a car showroom just on the fringe of the city in Van Nuys. The sitcom star, who played Joey Tribbiani in Friends, now looks unrecognizable and different from the trim, adorable man he was once known as. Matt opted for a casual look featuring a pair of jeans underneath a black V-neck shirt and a baseball hat. He also had on dark sneakers as he strutted about the area on this rare sighting. Matt looked chubbier with a lot more gray hair during this rare time out, which was his first known time in public after his co-star Matthew Perry’s death. Remembering Matthew Perry Youtube video screenshot Following Perry’s death last October, Matt, who played best friend to Chandler Bing on Friends, took to Instagram with a touching tribute that read, “Matthew. It is with a heavy heart I say goodbye. The times we had together are honestly among the favorite times of my life,” adding that their work relationship and friendship were an honor of a lifetime. RELATED: Matt LeBlanc Mourns ‘Friends’ Co-Star Matthew Perry With Emotional Tribute In usual bestie fashion, Matt joked about never getting the $20 he lent Perry back as he concluded his statement. “I will always smile when I think of you and I’ll never forget you. Never. Spread your wings and fly brother you’re finally free. Much love,” he added alongside a 2004 photo from the set and others featuring their characters Bing and Joey hugging. Youtube video screenshot Life after ‘Friends’ After Friends ended in 2004, alongside the cancellation of his spinoff Joey after two seasons, Matt took a six-year-long hiatus from the acting scenes and returned as a fictional version of himself on Episodes. His appearance earned him a Golden Globe for Best Actor in a television series, musical, or comedy, and multiple Primetime Emmy nods. Everett He also starred in a few more productions and TV shows, including Man With A Plan, which wrapped up in 2020. Years later, Matt’s appearance raised eyebrows among fans on social media, who were concerned about his new weight gain, health, and hair loss.
