Apple TV is great for more than just cord cutters. You can do all sorts of cool things, right on your TV!

The Apple TV is a great place to watch content, whether it’s your favorite movies, top TV shows, or a helpful YouTube channel. And while video content is still the focus of the Apple TV, there are other excellent apps on the platform, too, that help extend its usefulness beyond content, from getting the weather forecast to checking out nearby houses or apartments available for rent.

The addition of channels, which allow you to subscribe to services without having to navigate between apps, as well as easier navigation have really taken the TV app experience to the next level.

They have just unveiled the latest addition to their product lineup: the rugged and modern Marqui Crossbody, which is a minimalist bag that merges practicality with high fashion.

Dbrand says its Apple Card skins feature ”unrivaled precision.”
You can mix and match the different Apple Card skins to fit your style.
The Apple Card, now available to all Apple users, features a clean, minimalistic design — an aesthetic present in most Apple products. But beware, because the aluminum can easily get damaged if you aren’t careful.

To help preserve the pristine look of Apple Card, Dbrand has unveiled skins specially made for Apple’s latest product.

According to Dbrand, the Apple Card skins feature ”unrivaled precision:”

We even measured the embossed Apple logo so that we could sell Apple Card skins with logo cutouts — otherwise nobody will k…

Installing the tvOS 13 beta is more complex than an iOS or macOS beta, but it’s also for developers only.

Just like with iOS and macOS, Apple makes beta versions of tvOS available for developers to test. But unlike the betas for other systems, installing it on the Apple TV (4th generation) or Apple TV 4K is more complicated than a simple download and go. If you’re a developer and you’re having trouble getting the tvOS beta installed, here’s what you need to do.

Unlike Apple’s other operating systems, you can’t back up your Apple TV; as such, Apple offers two options for updating tvOS: over the air, which just updates the system; and via USB-C, which restores the device to its factory settings.

Apple occasionally offers updates to iOS, watchOS, tvOS, and macOS as closed developer previews or public betas for iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Mac (sadly, no public beta for the Apple Watch). While the betas contain new features, they also contain pre-release bugs that can prevent the no…
