Since I can’t cover everything, I like to offer a daily round-up of must-read articles from some other great websites. To wit:

° From AppleInsider: Apple and Google delisted almost 600,000 apps combined from their respective app stores, amidst a wide crackdown by Apple on abandoned applications.

° From MacRumors: AppleCare+ with theft and loss coverage is now available in three additional countries, including France, Italy, and Spain.

° From 9to5Mac: AAPL investors need to see inside the company’s “$70 billion black box,” say analysts – a reference to Apple lumping together all its Services revenue into one figure, despite the fact that it effectively covers ten different businesses with the company.

° From The Mac Observer: Rumors indicate that Apple TV+ is looking to develop content in Brazil, potentially the first content in Brazilian Portuguese for Apple.

° From the New York Daily News: A robbery victim in New York City found his stolen motorbike using Apple’s AirTags — but was then beaten up by the thieves.

° From MacVoices Live! On the new episode, Chuck Joiner, Mark Fuccio, Dave Ginsburg, Warren Sklar, Jeff Gamet, Jim Rea, and Brittany Smith finish their in-depth discussion of tech and travel. (Part 2)
