This Week in Apple: I hate sand

Some hit shows return, Apple pays some big bucks, and next week will be huge.
Turn on, tune in
While some bad things are going on in the media world, at least the shows are still good. In fact, that show you like is coming back.
“Ted Lasso season 4 just got a big release timing update”
Actress Hannah Waddingham let it slip that the new season comes in August, so clear your calendar, lock the doors and, I dunno, bake those cookies he made in season one or something, what am I, your event coordinator?
Don’t like that show? OK. OK. Instead of sports fiction, what about science fiction? Apple’s hit show “For All Mankind” returns next month to convince you all over again that space is nothing but silence and death and you should never, ever, ever go there.
It’s a fun show.
So fun that it’s getting its own spinoff!…
