Press Release article 6 of 15, Source: Apple, 424 words August 21: Apple TVs beloved sports comedy Stick, starring and executive produced by Owen Wilson, swings back into season two on Wednesday, November 4 Today, Apple TV revealed a first look at the second season of its beloved sports comedy Stick, starring and executive produced by Owen Wilson and created by Jason Keller, which will expand its cast to include Emmy Award nominee and Golden Globe winner Rhea Seehorn (Pluribus) in a supporting role. Also starring Peter Dager, Marc Maron, Mariana Trevino, Lilli Kay, Judy Greer and Timothy Olyphant, Stick returns for its second season on Apple TV on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, with two episodes, followed by one episode weekly until December 30, 2026. Stick is a heartfelt, feel-good comedy about a found family and their relationships set within the world of golf as it has never been shown before. In season one, Wilson stars as Pryce Cahill, an over-the-hill, ex-pro golfer whose career was derailed prematurely 20 years ago. After the collapse of his marriage and getting fired from his job at an Indiana sporting goods store, Pryce hedges his bets, and future, entirely on a troubled 17-year-old golf phenom named Santi (Dager). In season two, Santi takes the next step in his pursuit of professional golf, only to discover how quickly the game changes when talent becomes expectation. As Santi chases his dream, Pryce finds himself wondering what might still be possible for him. Urged on by his former rival Clark Ross (Olyphant), Pryce does something nobody expects: he bets on himself, launching an improbable comeback in hopes of becoming the oldest golfer ever to win a major. But the road back proves far harder than he imagined. And the closer Pryce gets to the golfer he once was, the more he is forced to confront why he never fulfilled the promise everyone once saw in him. With brilliant new coach Amanda (Seehorn) and trusted caddie Mitts (Maron) in his corner, Pryce sets out to prove to the golf world and, more importantly, to himself that maybe he really was as good as everyone always said he was. In addition to Seehorn, season two also welcomes John Higgins, Billy Zane, Rex Linn, Sasha Alexander and Missi Pyle, and features return guest appearances from legendary broadcasters Jim Nantz and Trevor Immelman, Good Goods Matt Scharff and golf enthusiast Dan Rapaport.

Press Release article 8 of 15, Source: Apple, 305 words August 19: Apple announces changes for apps in the European Union Apple today announced changes to its business terms for apps in the European Union, following close collaboration with the European Commission. These changes resolve Apples disagreements with the Commission over business terms and alternative distribution. They also reduce complexity by moving every developer that distributes apps in the EU to a single set of business terms. Developers can sign the new terms today, and changes will go into effect on October 1. Unified Business Terms for Developers That Distribute Apps in the EU Under this new model, Apple will charge a commission on the sale of digital goods and services. The Core Technology Fee, a per-install fee for developers that achieve extraordinary scale, will be replaced by the Core Technology Commission, a simple 5 percent commission on digital transactions in apps distributed outside the App Store. The new terms also eliminate the initial acquisition fee and store services fee. In addition, Apple is adjusting commission rates across the App Store, alternative app payments, and alternatively distributed apps. Each of these commissions reflects the many ways Apple creates value for developers apps, whether they use the App Store and/or Apple In-App Purchase. Under the new terms: For App Store apps using Apple In-App Purchase, the commission will be 26 percent. For the vast majority of developers, including those in the App Store Small Business Program, Mini Apps Partner Program, or Video Partner Program, and for auto-renewing subscriptions after their first year, it will be 15 percent. For App Store apps using alternative payment processing, the commission will be 20 percent. Developers in the programs mentioned above will pay a reduced rate of 10 percent. For App Store apps that link out of the app to complete purchases, the commission will be 15 percent.

These updates create new options for developers to distribute apps on alternative app marketplaces and to process app payments for digital goods and services outside of Apple In-App Purchase. Across these changes, Apple has worked to reduce the new privacy and security risks they create to provide users in Brazil the best and safest experience possible.

Apple has worked with the Brazilian regulator to introduce protections from these new threats including important safeguards for younger users. These protections include Notarization for iOS apps, an authorization process for app marketplaces, and requirements that help protect children from inappropriate content and scams. While these safeguards do not eliminate the new risks, they are essential to Apples work to ensure iOS remains the best, most secure mobile platform available in Brazil. Apple will continue to engage with regulators on strengthening protections for iOS users. Developers can learn about the new capabilities on the Apple Developer Support page and can integrate them into their apps beginning today as part of iOS 26.5. New Options for Developers to Distribute Apps on iOS in Brazil The App Store where every app is reviewed to meet a high bar for privacy and security remains the best place for iOS users in Brazil to discover and download the apps they love. This includes App Store features that protect users against fraud and scams and empower parents to help ensure their kids have age-appropriate experiences. Under the agreement with CADE, developers will also have the option to distribute iOS apps in Brazil using alternative app marketplaces other than the App Store.
