Welcome to this morning's edition of "First To Know," a series in which we keep you in the know on what's happening in the digital world.

Today, we're looking at three stories from the tech world you may have missed. In HTC's latest ad, Robert Downey Jr. plays the role of a "subversive thinking" consultant. The trailer will accompany banner ads targeted at expanding HTC's visibility across North America.

The new iPhone, perhaps called the iPhone 5S, will be released Sept. 10 alongside rumored lower-cost iPhones. And in entertainment, the first of eight Breaking Bad final episodes premiered on Sunday. Fans who didn't catch it live turned used apps to block spoilers.
