Costco is a wholesale retailer, offering up large quantities of items at discounted prices. It's also a members-only shop, which means you (or someone you know) has to have a membership to have access to the discounted goods. So, if you meet the requirements and you're on the hunt for some discounted Apple services, Costco might have you covered.
Remember before the Apple Watch Series 7 was announced, and the rumor mill was telling us Apple was going to introduce a brand new design? With a flat display? Well, that didn't turn out to be the case. But maybe this year is the year it happens.

It might be hard to believe, but one of Apple's original series for Apple TV+ is still alive and kicking. That's right, Carpool Karaoke is still doing its thing, putting celebrities in vehicles and having them sing along to popular songs. And apparently we're right on the cusp of the fifth season premiere!
Apple has been using the Lightning port for so long on its iPhone lineup that it just feels standard at this point. However, that doesn't mean it's not time to move on.
