July is yet another stacked month looking at everything new on Hulu, and although that means more titles must be removed to make way for its new additions, unlike other platforms, Hulu tends to only remove a small handful of its lesser-known movies, which is one of the reasons why it's still up there as one of the best streaming services.
Hulu removed only 15 movies in June, but has increased that slightly next month to 17 films. Though these movies aren't as popular as other titles on the platform, there are a few hidden gems for you to get through before they go, especially if you're a fan of horrors and thrillers.
For another consecutive month at least, the best Hulu movies remain untouched, which is a nice surprise for movie buffs like me. Let's hope Hulu sticks to this pattern when considering which movies to remove next.

- Photos of an iPhone 17 Pro dummy unit show a more polished design than earlier leaks
- They provide a close look at the rumored new camera bar design
- It's a design that now seems very likely to feature
At this point, we’ve seen quite a few leaked renders and dummy units of the iPhone 17 Pro, most of which show off a new look for the camera bar – one that a lot of people haven’t been impressed by. But a new iPhone 17 Pro dummy unit might change some minds.
Leaker Majin Bu has shared photos of what's purported to be an iPhone 17 Pro dummy unit, and while the design looks broadly the same as in previous leaks, it looks much more like a finished phone than in most earlier glimpses.
The iPhone 17 Pro is shown in a black color, with a glossy camera panel and a more matte finish on the rest of the rear, and that contrast certainly looks appealing to our eyes. The camera block also doesn’t look like it sticks out quite as much here as in some earlier leaks, though it’s undeniably large.

A likely leakNow, as with any leak, we’d take this with a pinch of salt, especially as Majin Bu has a mixed track record. But the phone here looks to us much more like something Apple would actually release than the uglier interpretations of this design we’ve seen in the past.
So, we’d say there’s a high chance this is somewhat accurate. Certainly, it seems very likely that Apple will equip the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max with a large camera block in broadly this shape, since most leaks are in agreement on that front.
We should find out exactly how these phones will look in September, as that’s the month Apple typically uses to unveil new iPhones. In any case, we’re now a lot more positive about this rumored design change than we were before.

- It will spend $4 billion to triple the size of its US rural delivery network
- Over 4,000 smaller cities, towns, and rural communities will be covered by the end of 2025
Amazon has announced further plans to expand its fast Prime delivery services across more rural parts of the US.
The ecommerce giant says the move will mean thousands of smaller cities, towns, and rural communities will be able to shop a wide range of popular items, and get them delivered, within hours.
However the expansion, set to complete by the end of the year will come too late for Amazon Prime Day 2025, which starts in just a few days.
Amazon Prime rural expansionThe expansion will see Same-Day and Next-Day Delivery services coming to customers in more than 4,000 smaller US cities, towns, and rural communities by the end of 2025.
Amazon says this will expand the reach to "tens of million" of customers, and will be transforming daily life for rural customers", who often have limited product choices due to living further away from stores, as well as facing limited delivery options when shopping online.
The company notes it is also widening the amount of essential everyday products available for Same-Day Delivery, covering household goods, cleaning supplies, vitamins and medications, and food.
There's no change to Prime's pricing - members will still need to spend over $25 at checkout to get access to unlimited free Same-Day Delivery.
“Everybody loves fast delivery. So, whether you live in Monmouth, Iowa or in downtown Los Angeles, now you're going to have the same fantastic Amazon customer experience: the ability to get the wide variety of items you need to keep your household running every day, delivered the same or next day,” said Doug Herrington, CEO of Worldwide Amazon Stores.
The news comes shortly after Amazon revealed plans to spend $4 billion by the end of 2026 to expand its delivery network across rural areas of the US.
This will see it add over 200 additional delivery stations to its network, claiming to support more than 100,000 full- and part-time jobs both on the road and in warehouses.
This will include Amazon's own network as well as schemes like its Delivery Service Partner program, Amazon Flex, and Hub Delivery, which enables small businesses and members of the community to offer their support.
With the expansion, Amazon hopes to improve delivery speeds by up to 50% in rural areas.

- United Airlines is rolling out a small, but key update that might just help you make your connection
- ConnectionSaver will now give you turn-by-turn directions to make your connecting flight at United's hubs
- It will also show relevant information in real-time in the app
Let’s be real, having to catch a connecting flight isn't the easiest, especially if the time between your first flight and the second becomes crazy tight as a result of a delay. It can be a very high-stress moment, but now United Airlines is trying to make it a little less stressful.
We’ve already seen United adopt Live Activities on the iPhone to make it easy to view key information without opening the app, and the airline has mapped many airports for easy navigation, as well as rolled out some surprisingly helpful features.
So now in time for peak summer travel season, United is updating its ConnectionSaver technology for those connecting within one of its hubs – Newark, NJ, Chicago, IL, Denver, CO, Houston, TX, Los Angeles, CA, San Francisco, CA, Washington, DC, or Guam – to the effect that you’ll see flight status in real-time, tips, and a prominent notice if United’s ConnectionSaver is activated.
With this, using AI and United’s teams, they can hold the flight at the gate for a bit longer – and provide you with a countdown clock – without delaying the arrival to help you make the flight.
(Image credit: United Airlines)Even better, though, United will also inform your in-flight crew if that’s the case and also provide turn-by-turn navigation directions. This way, you don’t have to scramble off the aircraft and run out of the gate, not knowing if you need to go left or right. In a shared video previewed by TechRadar, the app will provide turn-by-turn directions and even inform you if you need to take an escalator to a tunnel or hop on a tram to reach the gate.
Speaking to TechRadar, United’s Chief Customer Officer, David Kinzelman, told us that they’ve mapped all their facilities, and “we feel really good about the maps that we have and the times and the distances” to provide accurate real-time navigation.
I’m particularly excited about the real-time navigation paired with ConnectionSaver, as if you're lucky enough to have a stop through a hub with the first flight arriving late, these two features together could help you actually make the connection. That will need to be tested, of course, and you’ll need to be saved with ‘ConnectionSaver’. If the latter doesn’t come through, or if you get to the gate a bit too late, you can rebook via the United Airlines app and access customer service from there as well.
This update is rolling out now, and ConnectionSaver has already been live. If you’re keen to give it a try or at least access the turn-by-turn navigation, be sure to update the United Airlines app on your iPhone or Android device.
And if you’re a fan of the Live Activity on the iPhone, Kinzelman told us that they're exploring integrating this update into that experience and that “we will at some point link the two”.
The other big technology trend for United Airlines thus far in 2025 has been the start of its rollout of Starlink-powered Wi-Fi for gate-to-gate connectivity at no cost for members of its MileagePlus rewards program. It’s already on several United Express regional jets, and the airline says it will be on the entire fleet by the end of the year, with the process of installing it on its larger mainline jets to begin by the end of the year.

Some brilliant movies have landed on streaming platforms this year but many come with a catch. They’re only available to rent or they disappear from one service just as they pop up on another, which makes them harder to recommend depending on which service you’re subscribed to or where you live.
But if you have a subscription to one of the best streaming services, there are many you can just hit play on, whenever you want and wherever you are. These are known as originals. The movies made by the platforms themselves. They can be hit or miss, but 2025 has quietly delivered a handful of gems so far – just look at our rankings of the best Netflix movies and best Disney+ movies for an idea.
From dreamy animation and gripping crime dramas to skin-crawling body horror and breathtaking documentaries, this list spans genres and moods. All of these picks are available right now on Netflix, Disney+ and Hulu in the US, UK and Australia. No cinema trips or rental fees necessary. Just excellent films ready to stream.
1. Control FreakWhere to watch: Disney+ (AU, UK), Hulu (US)
Release date: 2025
Rotten Tomatoes score: 64%
Length: 104 minutes
Director: Shal Ngo
Main cast: Kelly Marie Tran, Miles Robbins, Toan Le, Kiều Chinh
Age rating: Not rated (AU, UK), R (US)
This skin-crawling Hulu original (which you can also watch on Disney+ in Australia and the UK) is a very strange, slow-burn horror with a standout central performance from Kelly Marie Tran (who most people will recognize from Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi).
Control Freak follows Valerie “Val” Nguyen (played by Tran), a successful motivational speaker whose life begins to unravel when she develops an unbearable itch on the back of her head. But what starts as a small inconvenience spirals into grotesque body horror, vivid hallucinations and a descent into her family’s haunted past. This is a dark story with a folklore horror-esque vibe that weaves together themes of generational trauma, cultural expectations and the supernatural.
It’s a little messy in places – the pacing drags and some of the characters feel underdeveloped – but Tran is magnetic throughout with a lot of intensity and vulnerability. I also found the sound design to be especially effective, making some scenes physically uncomfortable in the best way. It’s not the best horror film you’ll ever watch but it has enough tension and originality to make it well worth your time. Especially if you’re in the mood for something weird, thoughtful and a bit gross.
2. Lost in StarlightWhere to watch: Netflix (AU, UK, US)
Release date: 2025
Rotten Tomatoes score: 88%
Length: 96 minutes
Director: Han Ji-Won
Main cast: Kim Tae-Ri, Hong Kyung, Kang Goo-Han, Ahn Yeongmi
Age rating: PG
Lost in Starlight is a charming, animated Netflix original that I'd recommend as the perfect lazy Sunday watch. It’s part sci‑fi romance, part dream-like adventure. It’s set in a near‑future, neon‑lit Seoul and follows astronaut‑in‑training Nan‑Young, whose mother vanished on a mission to Mars 20 years earlier. She meets Jay, a former musician turned repairman, and their worlds collide when Jay fixes Nan‑Young’s old record player, sparking a star‑crossed connection that’s cute and, at times, a little sickly sweet.
Visually, Lost in Starlight is really stunning. Its animation is rich with soft, vibrant colors that shift to match emotional beats, from Seoul’s bustling streets to the vastness of space. The voice performances also feel warm and genuine, capturing the characters’ messy emotions.
At its heart, Lost in Starlight explores how love can survive across millions of miles. So if you're in the mood for a heartfelt, beautifully animated tale about love and space-spanning emotions, then it'll hit all the right notes.
3. RevelationsWhere to watch: Netflix (AU, UK, US)
Release date: 2025
Rotten Tomatoes score: 68%
Length: 100 minutes
Director: Yeon Sang-Ho
Main cast: Ryu Jun-yeol, Shin Hyun-been, Shin Min-jae
Age rating: Not rated (AU, UK), R (US)
Revelations is a dark, psychological thriller from director Yeon Sang‑ho, probably most famous for zombie action movie Train to Busan. The story follows Pastor Sung Min‑chan, who becomes fixated on the idea that ex-convict Kwon Yang‑rae is involved in the disappearance of a young girl from his church. At the same time, Detective Lee Yeon‑hee is haunted by visions of her dead sister.
What begins as a slow-burn mystery spirals into a frantic exploration of guilt, faith and who gets the right to exact vengeance. The lines between justice and obsession blur and Revelations forces you to sit with uncomfortable questions, like what happens when belief overrides reason? And who gets to decide who’s guilty?
With strong performances and a tense atmosphere, Revelations is more than just a whodunit. It feels like a deeper look at moral ambiguity and the darkness we all carry. If you're drawn to slow-building, emotionally charged thrillers that challenge your perspective, then Revelations is well worth watching.
4. Ocean With David AttenboroughWhere to watch: Disney+ (AU, UK, US)
Release date: 2025
Rotten Tomatoes score: 100%
Length: 95 minutes
Director: Toby Nowlan, Colin Butfield, Keith Scholey
Main cast: David Attenborough
Age rating: PG
Ocean with David Attenborough is a breathtaking feature-length documentary movie. And at 99, Sir David has never sounded more urgent or passionate about his mission.
Made by National Geographic and available on Disney Plus, the film takes us from vibrant coral reefs and kelp forests to the exposed seabeds devastated by industrial bottom trawling. Against this backdrop, Attenborough reflects on his lifetime of ocean discoveries and makes a heartfelt plea for better marine conservation.
Cinematographically, it's stunning. Expect sweeping underwater scenes that capture life in the ocean with incredible beauty, while sequences that expose destructive fishing techniques are heartbreakingly real.
If you want a beautifully-shot, emotionally charged documentary that marvels at the natural world and doesn't hold back from confronting our role in its decline, this is a powerful, must-watch film.
5. HavocWhere to watch: Netflix (AU, UK, US)
Release date: 2025
Rotten Tomatoes score: 63%
Length: 107 minutes
Director: Gareth Evans
Main cast: Tom Hardy, Jessie Mei Li, Justin Cornwell, Quelin Sepulveda
Age rating: 18 (AU, UK), R (US)
Havoc is a grimy crime story from Gareth Evans, the director behind The Raid. It stars Tom Hardy as Walker, a morally dubious cop in a gritty, unnamed US city.
It begins with a drug deal that goes wrong and ends up involving the mayor’s estranged son in a deadly web of corruption, Walker begins a mission through gang-ridden streets to put things right. Which, as you can imagine, is the perfect fuel for Evans’ trademark violence.
Hardy anchors the chaos here with a brooding, intense and weathered presence – which we all know he’s very good at. The film’s late-night urban landscape adds a lot of atmosphere, pairing neon-lit rain-soaked alleyways with explosive and brutally choreographed fight scenes.
No, you’re not going to find the most intricate story here that you'll be thinking much about after the credits roll. But if you're craving relentless action, atmospheric grit and don’t mind a thin-ish plot in favor of stylish carnage, then it’ll get your adrenaline pumping.

- Researchers say these can overcome the limitations faced by GPUs
- Cerebras and Tesla already use these huge chips, with special cooling systems to manage heat
Engineers at the University of California Riverside are exploring a new approach to artificial intelligence hardware that could tackle both performance and sustainability.
In a peer-reviewed paper, published in the journal Device, the team investigated the potential of wafer-scale accelerators - giant computer chips that operate on entire silicon wafers rather than the small chips used in today’s GPUs.
“Wafer-scale technology represents a major leap forward,” said Mihri Ozkan, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at UCR and lead author of the paper. “It enables AI models with trillions of parameters to run faster and more efficiently than traditional systems.”
Like monorailsThese chips, like Cerebras’ Wafer-Scale Engine 3 (WSE-3), which we’ve covered previously, contain up to 4 trillion transistors and 900,000 AI-focused cores on a single unit. Another wafer-scale processor, Tesla’s Dojo D1, houses 1.25 trillion transistors and close to 9,000 cores per module.
The processors remove the delays and energy losses common in systems where data travels between multiple chips.
“By keeping everything on one wafer, you avoid the delays and power losses from chip-to-chip communication,” Ozkan said.
Traditional GPUs are still important due to their lower cost and modularity, but as AI models grow in size and complexity, the chips begin to encounter performance and energy barriers.
“AI computing isn’t just about speed anymore,” Ozkan explained. “It’s about designing systems that can move massive amounts of data without overheating or consuming excessive electricity.”
Wafer-scale systems have important environmental benefits too. Cerebras’ WSE-3, for example, can perform up to 125 quadrillion operations per second, while using far less energy than GPU setups.
“Think of GPUs as busy highways - effective, but traffic jams waste energy,” Ozkan said. “Wafer-scale engines are more like monorails: direct, efficient, and less polluting.”
One major challenge still remains however - the age-old issue of heat. Wafer-scale chips can consume up to 10,000 watts of power, nearly all of which turns into heat, requiring advanced cooling systems to prevent overheating and maintain performance.
Cerebras uses a glycol-based cooling loop built into the chip, while Tesla has a liquid system that spreads coolant evenly over the chip’s surface.
