The company regularly updates its trade-in prices for older devices as they depreciate in value over time.

The limited-time offer has been running since June 22, 2022.

This year’s AirPods Pro refresh is unlikely to pack health features like heart rate or body temperature monitoring.

Apple is testing both features internally, which “could arrive one day.” But that day is not coming this year.

Both the regular Apple Watch Series 8 and the rumored rugged variant aimed at hardcore athletes should feature the new sensor.

From Irish folklore to ’60s New York, from culture clashes to meteors, here is a list of the very best films on Apple TV+ so far.

Physical needs a Hail Mary in the worst way.

Apple TV+’s lunar headache For All Mankind is headed to Mars for real this time. Three competing spaceships strive to make it to the red planet first to win a huge cash prize.

NASA holds some tricks up its sleeve to beat the wilier competition, but you can’t count out the Russians just yet. They’re always willing to do something stupid to make headlines. A mostly fine episode ends on a nice little cliffhanger to boot.

New Apple TV+ comedy  Loot goes into damage-control mode this week, as a theme park that Molly owns undergoes a public disaster and the billionaire must take stock of her post-divorce holdings.
