SharePlay, features baked into platforms like iOS and macOS, allow users to jump into shared experiences, like watching movies and TV shows together. It supports first-party apps like Apple TV, of course, but the good news is it also supports third-party content, too. And now one more option has joined the list.

Second-generation AirPods can now get manual firmware updates from Apple Stores
Updating firmware versions on AirPods models is pretty straightforward, insofar that it's basically out of the user's hands. Apple issues updates and the headphones will update on their own in due time. However, for folks who might want to --or need to-- get their wireless headphones updated, a manual option is available.
You can restore an Apple Watch with an iPhone thanks to iOS 15.4 and watchOS 8.5
Earlier today, Apple released updates for iOS, watchOS, and the company's other platforms. There are some standout features mixed in, including using Face ID while wearing a mask (and unlocking your phone without needing an Apple Watch), the arrival of Universal Control, and much more. And there's even a nice little bonus, too.
Apple starts selling refurbished iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro
The iPhone 13 series has been out for a bit now. And Apple even refreshed the lineup with some green colorways that aren't too shabby to look at. But, if you're more in the market for a slightly older, and refurbished model, Apple may have just the options for you.
Apple is reportedly still working on OLED iPad Pro models
One of the new devices that the rumor mill suggested we'd see at Apple's "Peek Performance" event earlier this month was a new iPad Pro. Unfortunately, that did not come to pass. Which means we're still waiting for Apple to refresh the 12.9- and 11-inch iPad Pro models at some point in the near future.

Just before the end of 2021, Apple TV+ announced that it had landing the streaming rights to a brand new four-part documentary series called They Call Me Magic. It'll focus on the life and times of the basketball legend Earvin "Magic" Johnson. And it's set to premiere in April.
Are you buying one of the new green iPhones?
Apple has a habit of staggering colors for its devices, especially the iPhone. The company has a few, or maybe even a bit more than a few depending on the model, different choices at launch, and oftentimes at least one of those colors is a pretty hot commodity right out of the gate. But then, months later, we're suddenly introduced to a new color that's not too bad, either! And maybe even your favorite color! But, six months in and you probably already have the iPhone that just got a color refresh.
Apple is reportedly not working on a new, larger-screen iMac after all
Apple unveiled some new hardware earlier this week at its "Peek Performance" event. And while there were rumors that we'd see the new "M2" processor at the event, along with maybe a new MacBook Pro and/or new MacBook Air, that turned out not to be the case. So, of course, we turn to the future, where rumors are still swirling that future hardware could arrive with those specs.

Apple is reportedly working on a ‘Mac Studio’ to bridge the gap between a Mac Pro and Mac mini
Apple has its tried and true products, like the iPhone, iPad, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro. But there's still room for the company to expand a bit. Even if it is just a bridge between two existing product lines.
Apple said to be working on Studio Display with 7K resolution and Apple silicon
Before the end of 2019, Apple launched the Pro Display XDR. It's a high-end standalone screen that's designed for professionals. And, as such, it's also equipped with a pretty high price tag. But, since then, the company has gone relatively quiet on a successor. That may change soon.
