Published by skeptic

Apple today announced that this Saturday’s Major League Soccer match between the LA Galaxy and Houston Dynamo FC will be captured entirely with the iPhone 17 Pro. Apple said this will mark the first time an iPhone will be used to capture the entirety of a major professional live sporting event broadcast, rather than studio cameras, so the iPhone 17 Pro will make sports history this weekend. “iPhone 17 Pro will capture live footage throughout the match, including team warmups on the pitch, player introductions, in-net goal angles, and the atmosphere inside the stadium,” said Apple. “With cameras positioned throughout the venue, the broadcast will deliver the pristine video quality fans expect, alongside dynamic new perspectives that bring viewers closer to the action, made possible by the small form factor of iPhone.” Apple TV subscribers will be able to stream the match live on Saturday, May 23 at 7:30 p.m. Pacific Time.

Apple TV Series ‘The Savant’ Set for July Premiere After Delay

Published by skeptic

Apple is finally planning to release The Savant, an Apple TV series that it delayed following the assassination of Charlie Kirk. The Savant is set to air in July 2026, according to Variety. The ‌Apple TV‌ show was supposed to come out on Friday, September 26, 2025, but Apple decided not to release it due to the topic and the political climate.

They’ve been incredible collaborators and I deeply respect their team. That said, I wanted to reach out and let you know that we’re not aligned on the decision to pause the release of The Savant.

Published by skeptic

Apple today shared a trailer for Widow’s Bay, a mysterious new “genre-bending” horror-comedy series set to premiere on Apple TV on Wednesday, April 29. Widow’s Bay is described as a “quaint island town 40 miles off the coast of New England,” but apparently “something lurks beneath the surface.” Matthew Rhys stars as Mayor Tom Loftis, who is trying to revive the struggling community. “There’s no Wi-Fi, spotty cellular reception and he must contend with superstitious locals who believe their island is cursed,” Apple explains. “Loftis is determined to build a better future for his teenage son and turn the island into a tourist destination,” adds Apple. “Miraculously, he succeeds: tourists are finally coming. Unfortunately, the locals were right. After decades of calm, the old stories that seemed too ludicrous to be true, start happening again.” Apple says Widow’s Bay blends genuine horror with character-driven comedy. The first three episodes in the 10-episode season are set to premiere on Apple TV on Wednesday, April 29, and one additional episode will come out every Wednesday through June …
