Based on an upcoming novel by Bonnie Garmus, the series is set in the early 1960s and follows Elizabeth (Larson).

Here’s some of what’s coming to Apple TV + in 2021

Apple TV + is a bit different than most other streaming services on the market. While platforms like Netflix, Disney +, and Crave reveal full lists of what's coming to their services each month, Apple generally only makes release date announcements on a case-by-case basis. As a result, this can make it a bit difficult to keep up with when a show or movie hits Apple TV +, especially when the service's content deployment is slower than many of its peers. Given all that, we decided to take a look at what do know will be coming to Apple TV + throughout 2021 and round it up accordingly. The upcoming Apple TV + content list is especially worth noting if you're someone who has a one-year trial of the service through the purchase of an Apple device, as the tech giant now extends its free p...

This time around, the tech giant is allowing spoilers to stay on the platform until July 2021, and 9to5Mac notes that even paying subscribers will be reimbursed for two months of credits. This is the second time Apple has extended the trial of the service. This probably means that anyone who got a free trial of Apple TV + when the service launched last year will still have access to the service for the launch of For all mankind Season 2 and the Tom Holland movie Cherry. Until now, no one in the MobileSyrup Apple TV subscription was extended last February, but 9to5Mac reports that Apple will send emails over the next several weeks notifying ...

Apple is reportedly working on a gaming-focused Apple TV with a new, faster remote processor

When the fourth-generation Apple TV was first released in 2015, Apple emphasized its gaming capabilities. While those ambitions never materialized, the new rumors courtesy of From Bloomberg Mark Gurman, Often Reliable indicate that Apple is not done with the gaming space yet. According to Gurman, a new Apple TV will launch in 2021 that focuses on video games and includes an updated remote control and a new processor. Given how frustrating the Siri Remote can be at times, hopefully this new controller ditches the concept of touch navigation entirely. The touch controls are great, but you really can't beat the physical controls in the context of a set-top box remote. In the past, Bloomberg has stated that Apple is developing a new ...

Another Apple TV remote with physical buttons is on the way

It's no secret that the Siri Remote on Apple TV can often be frustrating. Sure, if you've been using one for several months, it's possible to master it.

The remote connects to Apple TV via Bluetooth Low Energy or Infrared, includes a microphone for Siri commands, and works as a universal remote for televisions and audio devices.
