Given how far smartphones have come, it was only a matter of time before directors started getting creative with them. That's part of the hook behind Unsane, a psychological thriller shot entirely on an iPhone 7 Plus.

Samsung has finally unveiled the Note 8, successor to the notoriously-explodable Note 7.
