In announcing ticket sales for this year's live episode going live today, Gruber has revealed that Apple declined his invitation for executives to appear on this year's episode, for the first time in the decade of this tradition.
As it faces increasing legal pressure in the United States, Apple today shared the results of a commissioned study that delves into the success of the App Store ecosystem and the money that it's earned developers large and small through digital and physical purchases.
A month after the holy-fucking-shit finale of Season 2, the star and the director of “Severance” sit down for what I can only assume is one of the last stops on their impressive, six-month global press tour. It’s starting to look more like a victory lap. When I interviewed both of them in December before the premiere, Scott and Stiller were focused on rallying those who watched Season 1 to tune back in for Season 2. Now, the show is bigger than either of them could have imagined: What started as a niche sci-fi hit with awards and critical acclaim has become a cultural juggernaut. Terms like “innie” and “outie” have permeated office vocabulary. Its characters and their cubicles took over Grand Central Station — and the internet — for two days. And its theme song was performed for some 50,000 people at Coachella.
“For me, it’s when the organ player at Madison Square Garden plays it during Knicks games,” says Stiller. “Like I’ve died and gone to heaven.”
Amidst the strain of tariffs, Apple CEO Tim Cook announced Thursday the launch of a new 7,083-piece iPhone kit.
I sure hope Apple is relooking at all its traditions, and will be breaking all 'rules' this WWDC. (And it's not just that Apple is thin-skinned.)
