From major returning series like Slow Horses and The Morning Show to compelling new shows like Pluribus, and several high-profile movies, there’s a lot coming. Plus, Apple likely has releases planned it hasn’t yet announced. But as of now, here’s everything new coming to Apple TV+ this fall.

Apple is on the cusp of its major launch season, with new hardware coming in nearly every product category. But rumors indicate there will be one glaring omission from these fall launches: the Mac.

Running the latest iOS 26 developer beta or public beta? You’re probably looking at the version of iOS 26 that will be released in September.

Elon Musk has surprisingly made good on one of his promises. Earlier this month, Musk accused Apple of rigging the App Store rankings and threatened to sue the company for this “unequivocal antitrust violation.”

“Apple is behaving in a manner that makes it impossible for any AI company besides OpenAI to reach #1 in the App Store,” Musk posted at the time.

In a Texas court on Monday, Musk’s xAI officially filed a lawsuit against Apple and OpenAI, accusing the two companies of colluding to prevent competition in the AI industry.
