Year: 2021

Apple TV+ ‘Its the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown’ to air on PBS on October 24, 2021

Like last year, "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" will stream exclusively on Apple TV+, but the Peanuts gang will still return to network TV for one night.

In 2020, Apple obtained the rights to the "Peanuts" franchise, meaning that the easiest way to watch your favorite Charlie Brown specials is to tune in via Apple TV+.

However, if you don't have an active Apple TV+ subscription, Twitter user @ItsPeeebs reminds us that Apple TV+ isn't the only way you can hang out with the Peanuts gang this fall. You can still kick back with this classic Halloween movie by tuning into your local PBS station.

 Apple Watch to be available Friday, October 8th, 2021

Apple Watch Series 7 features a larger and more advanced display, enhanced durability, faster charging, new aluminum case colors, and watchOS 8.

Apple today announced Apple Watch Series 7, featuring the largest and most advanced Apple Watch display ever — and a reengineered Always-On Retina display with significantly more screen area and thinner borders — will be available to order beginning Friday, October 8, at 5 a.m. PDT and available in stores starting Friday, October 15.

The design of Apple Watch Series 7 is refined with softer, more rounded corners, and the display has a unique refractive edge that makes full-screen watch faces and apps appear to seamlessly connect with the curvature of the case. At just 1.7 mm thin, the narrower borders of Apple Watch Series 7 maximize the screen area of the display while minimally changing the dimensions of the watch itself. Apple Watch Series 7 also features a user interface optimized for the larger display, a new QWERTY keyboard, plus two unique watch faces — Contour and Modular Duo — designed specifically for the new device. Users benefit from the same all-day 18-hour battery life,1 now complemented by 33 percent faster charging.

Available in 41mm and 45mm sizes, Apple Watch Series 7 is the most durable Apple Watch ever, with a stronger, more crack-resistant front crystal. It is the first Apple Watch to have an IP6X certification for resistance to dust, and maintains a WR50 water resistance rating.2
