When Apple TV+ announced its upcoming French crime thriller "The Hunt" (originally titled "Traqués"), it looked like another promising addition to their growing international content library.

Let's break down what's actually worth your attention this Black Friday Week.

Here's a deal that has me doing a double-take on Apple TV+ pricing. The streaming service just slashed its monthly rate to $5.99 for new and returning subscribers (Tom's Guide), which represents a substantial 54% discount from the current $12.99 monthly rate (ZDNET). What makes this particularly compelling is that this promotional pricing essentially takes Apple TV+ back to what users were paying three years ago, before the service underwent multiple price increases that brought it to its...

Apple's iPhone Air experiment is unraveling before our eyes. What started as an ambitious push into ultra-thin smartphone design now looks like one of the company's biggest product missteps in recent memory. According to TipRanks, Apple has removed the next-generation iPhone Air from the schedule, while the original device continues performing significantly below expectations across global markets.

Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) feature was supposed to be a privacy win for users. When it launched in April 2021, the tech world watched as Apple introduced a simple pop-up asking users whether they wanted apps to track their activity across other apps and websites. Sounds straightforward enough, right? But here's where things get interesting—European regulators aren't buying Apple's privacy-first narrative. They're seeing something far more strategic: a carefully orchestrated system...

The single-sensor approach earned the iPhone Air a...

Google just pulled off something remarkable—and risky. Their newest Android devices can now seamlessly share files with iPhones through a direct connection to Apple's AirDrop protocol, according to tech-ish.

The implementation uses Rust programming language for enhanced security and currently works exclusively on Pixel 10 devices, as reported by PC Mag....
