Apple TV+ just released the first trailer for Silo, an upcoming a drama series based on a bestselling trilogy of dystopian novels.
In the series, a few thousand people are left on earth hiding in a mile-deep silo. But what if everything they’ve ever been told about the outside world is a lie?
Apple’s recently launched M2 Mac mini has dropped to its lowest price yet. You can get the entry-level 2023 Mac mini for $549, saving a sweet $50.
A similar discount is also available on the 512GB configuration of the M2 Mac mini.
Even a small desk can’t keep you from having a powerful computer setup — if you get the right gear and not too much of it. All it takes is a great laptop — like a MacBook Pro or MacBook Air — a vertical laptop stand, a not-gargantuan display and a minimal amount of other gear, as shown in today’s featured setup.
Oh, and consider a monitor arm rather than a stand. That helps keep the external screen out of the way.
Apple TV+ correctly referred to its hit psycho-drama Severance as a “cultural phenomenon” Sunday when it pointed out the show nabbed Best Drama and Best New Series at the Writers Guild Awards. It’s the only show to win two major categories this year.
The iPhone notch is about to disappear. A video allegedly featuring the screen panels for the upcoming iPhone 15 series leaked out showing the cutout that’s been a prominent part of Apple handsets since 2017 will soon be a thing of the past.
The new plan: Dynamic Island for everyone.

Apple heavily pushes iMessage as the best messaging app on iPhone. However, WhatsApp reigns as the world’s most popular messaging service, with more than 2 billion daily users.
What makes WhatsApp so popular? Should you ditch iMessage and switch to WhatsApp for a superior chatting experience? Find out in this comparison.
Apple might launch an upgraded iMac in the second half of 2023. The machine is currently in an advanced development stage, according to the latest report.
While the upcoming iMac will retain the same 24-inch display as the current model, Apple reportedly will make some internal layout changes.
Apple’s 15-inch MacBook Air and new Mac Pro could launch later than initially believed. The machines are reportedly on track to launch between late spring and summer.
This hints at the possibility of the new Macs debuting at this year’s Worldwide Developers Conference.

The comedy series Shrinking continues its streak of being among the most popular shows on any streaming service. It made the top list for all of February, and continues to hold on to its audience.
And the recently released neo-noir thriller Sharper is also proving to be popular.
Both are available now to Apple TV+ subscribers.
Sp!ng challenges players to maneuver through a vertical maze while collecting gems. It’s easy to learn — you play with a single finger. The game can be exciting or relaxing, depending on how you play.
This offering from SMG Studio is one of my favorites on Apple Arcade. Here are six reasons why I think you’ll like it, too.
★★★★☆
Bad weather, bad omens and bad timing collide on this week’s installment of Apple TV+ thriller Servant.
Sean and Julian attempt a Hail Mary to wrest control of the Turner house away from evil nanny Leanne. And Dorothy’s about to realize there are worse things than being loved too much.
The episode, entitled “Tunnels,” is a sharply directed half-hour of the horror/mystery series, which is the best show on Apple TV+ — and indeed one of the finest things on TV, full stop. It points the way to darker things coming in Servant’s final two episodes.
With spring right around the corner, it might be time to take a much-needed look at your garden. Believe it or not, your plants could get a big boost from the stuff you typically toss in the trash.
Featured at CES 2023, Reencle’s composter that turns food waste into fertilizer presents an innovative alternative. It lets you mix mindfulness toward the environment with results you’ll see in your plants and soil. And through March 5, during our Tech Innovations Seen at CES sale, you can get this high-tech composter for only $479 (regularly $699).
★★★★☆
In the explosive second episode of Apple TV+ thriller Liaison, Richard, Albert and Alison find common ground over a crash, while Gabriel flits around London trying to recapture the missing Syrian hacker he lost.
The French government is being kneecapped by secrets and hidden ambitions, while the British haven’t a clue what’s happening or why. The gripping Stephen Hopkins-directed series continues to make for a pleasant (if upsetting) watch.
Apple is reportedly close to adding a new color option to a couple of models in the iPhone 14 series. The latest iOS handset in a yellow casing might be out this spring. No other changes are expected.
It’s not unprecedented: New green options were added to the iPhone 13 Pro models in 2022, months after the products had reached the market.
Choose your cat and their feline friend then wander through a Japanese “matsuri” festival playing mini games in Kimono Cats. Intended for children, it’s both charming and easy to play.
The game debuted Friday on Apple Arcade, and there are versions for a wide variety of Apple computers.
★★★★☆
Apple TV+ crime drama Truth Be Told takes a stroll down memory lane this week as Eva remembers her years in the life of sex trafficking, giving her a potential tool to bring a network of bad people to justice.
Meanwhile, Markus is at his wit’s end trying to help Trini reintegrate into her life while looking in vain for justice. Leander and Poppy both have favors to ask of Lee Hackman. And the walls are starting to close in on Andrew Finney and his donors.
★☆☆☆☆
Everyone’s falling in love this week on grief-riddled Apple TV+ series Dear Edward — but nobody’s happy about it.
Shay and Edward have their 90th falling out, this one over Mahira and Shay’s deadbeat dad. Lacey and John keep having a bad time, while Dee Dee and Zoe need to have a chat about priorities and the future. Kojo and Adrianna are at a stalemate (where they’ve been for the last three episodes), and Steve and Amanda have a lot left to talk about (and not much time left to do it).
The episode, entitled “Folklore,” is a predictably predictable outing for this dreary affair.
With all the computer setups showcased on social media, it takes something special to earn the description “dream setup.” Today’s featured Mac Studio Ultra and M2 Max MacBook Pro setup, which hails from Australia, could be a contender.
Why? Well, when you combine two of Apple’s newest and most powerful computers with a Studio Display and put them in a beautifully laid out workstation with great cable management and premium audio, you’ve got a real ripsnorter (to put it like an Aussie might).
Apple’s excellent AirPods 2 earbuds are available for $99 on Amazon. That’s a massive 35% discount from their $159 MSRP.
While not perfect, it is hard to beat the value the AirPods 2 provide at their discounted price.
“March Madness” can have more than one meaning. It refers to big college basketball tournament, sure, but it’s also your chance to save big on Microsoft software at CdkeySales.com in its March Madness Sale. You can find remarkably great deals on Windows, Office and more from this trusted software activation keys provider.
★★☆☆☆
Apple TV+ comedy Shrinking does the walk of shame this week. Troubled therapist Jimmy made a mess of things last week at Brian and Charlie’s engagement party, so he thinks he must make amends.
However, everyone’s got their own worries. Paul is hosting his daughter, who’s got her own ideas about his disease. And Alice and Sean are navigating a bad moment that happened in a moment of weakness.
It’s business as usual on the show where most problems are not problems at all.
