UPDATE: This feature is apparently only a US-thing for the time being… Coincidentally or not, Apple has just made some back-end changes to the iTunes Store cloud as the new iOS 4.3.3 firmware updated for Apple TV went live a couple of minutes ago. As you can see from the above screenshot, it’s now possible to re-download purchased television shows in iTunes through the Purchased tab in the iTunes Store section of the iTunes desktop app....

Now, Wired is out with a closer look at how Apple’s spending on personal security for Cook compares to other Silicon Valley CEO. Intel spent a whopping $1.2 million to protect its former CEO Brian Krzanich in 2017. Most notably, however, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg cost the company $7....

Engadget got a statement from Apple regarding the latest SMS iOS flaw that affects iPhone users: Interesting statement from Apple that seems to throw the blame for the SMS vulnerability over to the SMS protocol.

When I switched up to an M1 Pro MacBook Pro, I knew a whole bunch of things would change. One of those was that it was the end of the line of being able to run the x86 Windows on the Mac. Yeah, I’m one of those people who run Windows on their Macs. Get over it. Review: Apple supercharges its flagship laptop This lack of support for x86 initially got me more than a bit worried....

We told you earlier this week that Microsoft published a new support document to address the “continuous loop” exchange bug on iOS devices running iOS 6.1. The company recommended a number of workarounds, such as blocking or throttling users on iOS 6.1 devices, while it worked with Apple to find a permanent fix.

Just as we thought Apple’s long-running ebooks suit might finally be settled, the out-of-court agreement has been thrown into doubt. The judge required to approve the settlement terms has expressed concern that they may be unfair to consumers, reports Business Insider.

To speed things up, lawyers on both sides agreed what would happen for each of the three possible outcomes of the appeal....

The iMac Pro comes in Space Gray coloring with accompanying Space Gray accessories, and while some had hoped those accessories would be sold separately, Apple has since informed us that won’t be the case… Many users have long called on Apple to make its wireless accessories available in additional colors and the company finally did that today, but it’ll cost you....

WhatsApp shared criticism for Apple’s new app privacy label requirement today, saying they are unfair for two reasons. Now Apple has addressed arguably the biggest issue raised by detailing what it will be doing with privacy disclosures for its own apps. The first issue that Facebook-owned WhatsApp shared with Axios about Apple’s app privacy labels is that it didn’t seem to apply to the company’s own apps that are preinstalled with iOS....

Apple can’t catch a break on Android. When Apple released its first app on Google’s platform last month called Move to iOS, Android fans were quick to negatively rate the app that only existed to help people switch from Android to iPhone.

Now Apple has its second Android app on the Google Play Store called Beats Pill+....
