Way, way back in April of last year we heard that Respawn Entertainment and EA had aspirations to bring its ridiculously popular battle royale game, Apex Legends, to mobile platforms at some point in the future. And, after a lengthy wait, we finally know when the game's going to launch. And it's soon!
There are a few different family-friendly shows available to watch on Apple TV+ right now, but the company isn't slowing down. There's the obvious stable of content the streaming service can offer thanks to the Peanuts franchise, for instance. And now, for kids who love to watch talking animals, there's the upcoming Lovely Little Farm, too.
Apple has sent out another firmware update for the latest iterations of its truly wireless headphones. As is pretty typical with these kinds of updates, Apple doesn't go out of its way to outline what --if anything-- is new in the update. And that remains the case with this one, too.
As profitable a company as Apple is, folks in charge can't rest on their laurels. Changes need to happen; a constant evolution over time. Which is why changes both big and small are always on the horizon, like restructuring a particular team to refocus its attention moving forward.
By themselves, the AirTag item tracking accessory seems like a pretty stable device. It does what it's supposed to do pretty well, after all. But the feature that is directly associated with it, Apple's Find My network, seems to be going through a rough growth spurt as of late.
Typically speaking, Apple isn't the highest payout when it comes to offering trade-in values. But, they aren't the worst, either. And of course, trade-in values will continue to vary on a semi-regular basis, just as we're seeing recently.

But for fans of the speakers, it looks like Sonos is ready to jump into the voice assistant market in the very near future.
Are you in the market for a brand new Thunderbolt 4 cable? How about one that measures in at 3 meters in length? Well then, Apple just added an option for you.
The European Commission is currently moving forward with an antitrust case against Apple's mobile wallet. The focus is primarily the fact that Apple locks down the Near-Field Communication (NFC) chip inside eligible iPhone models, which prevents third-party companies from accessing it. Therefore the only tap-to-pay option on an iPhone is Apple Pay, which is obviously not something companies that aren't Apple enjoy that much.
Sometimes, maybe even inevitably, everything feels eventual. At one point in time, Apple's 30% fee for its App Store felt like a standard thing, like that's just how it's supposed to be.

While it's not guaranteed, it's usually a safe bet that, at some point after a new product's launch, Apple will start offering refurbished models to help would-be customers save some money.
