Apple this week began teasing some kind of upcoming Apple TV+ surprise that's set to happen on January 4 and January 5, telling customers to "stay tuned" and "save the date" in social media posts.

January 4 and January 5 fall on a weekend, and the "see for yourself" wording does seem to suggest that a free watching period could be a possibility.
It’s the time of year when many of us are thinking about goals and resolutions for the year ahead. The latest video from Apple points to Apple Watch as the device that can help you ‘quit quitting’ on your goals.
Customers in Japan can get an Apple gift card when shopping at Apple from January 2 to January 5, and as a bonus, the first 50,000 people to purchase an iPhone 15, iPhone 14, or iPhone SE will get an exclusive Year of the Snake AirTag.

But privacy experts caution that there is little transparency about the technologies being deployed, and their proliferation could lead to data breaches and greater levels of surveillance.
Just a few more days, and I am conflicted, internally, on how to end my yearly theme. I think I will call it a success because, in my mind, I have quite a good idea what I want to for the rest of my life. More importantly, I have discovered what I don't want to do.
