At Apple’s fall announcement event, the company revealed that in late 2020 it will be releasing the Apple Fitness+ service, which combines the health-tracking features of the Apple Watch with custom workout lessons that are viewable on an iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV. This new subscription will cost $9.99 per month or $79.99 per year. Joining the ranks of iCloud storage, Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, and Apple News+, Apple Fitness+ is the sixth of Apple’s active services. With this critical mass of services, it only made sense for Apple to bundle them into one monthly service bundle, which the tech giant is calling Apple One.

During the WWDC 2020 keynote event, Apple announced that it will be transitioning to its own ARM-based silicon processors in future builds of Mac computers. If you aren’t a developer, this announcement might not have had much gravity. The thirty minutes Apple dedicated to this part of the announcement did little to explain why users should care about the transition, but this historic shift will change the way Mac software will work for the foreseeable future. While the shift will be gradual, Apple said it will release its first silicon-powered Macs by the end of the year. So why should we, as Mac users, care about this change? What will it mean for us moving forward?

Last September, Apple launched Apple Arcade, an innovative new service that gives you access to a growing selection of high-quality iOS games for a fixed monthly fee of $4.99 per month. It now includes over a hundred games with the subscription. I don’t consider myself much of a gamer, but I was a passenger on a long car ride with lots of time to kill and decided to check it out. I’ve since used it extensively and will share the good and the bad of Apple Arcade with you here.
