The days are getting shorter, the Thanksgiving leftovers are dwindling, and we still aren’t able to buy AirPods, but one of these days we will be. Until then, we have a holiday potpourri of topics for you.
First up? Calendar spam, calendar spam, doing the things a calendar can. Then a video that will crash your iPhone (and no, it’s not worth it), a new streaming service from AT&T, and the Apple Store doing right by customers with wonky iPhone 6s batteries or dead SSDs. Later, could Apple really make iPhones in America? And what’s the best way to make Twitter less awful?
