While the Logitech MX Master 3 is a terrific mouse for the Mac, reports claiming that Apple CEO Tim Cook prefers that mouse over the Magic Mouse are false.
The Wall Street Journal last month published an interview with Cook, in which he said he uses every Apple product every day. Soon after, The Verge's Wes Davis attempted to replicate using every Apple product in a single day. During that...

Between around 2009 and 2011, it was repeatedly rumored that Apple would be releasing a TV, but that obviously never happened.
Now, a decade-and-a-half later, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman says the idea is back on the table.
In his Power On newsletter today, Gurman briefly mentioned that Apple has been "evaluating" the "idea of making an Apple-branded TV set." He did not provide any further...
Have had 3 Samsung TVs and they’ve been outstanding. Will buy another when the time comes. Wish I needed one now, these are good deals.
They are indeed great TVs... except...
They are incredibly chatty on the network and will download ads 24 hours a day, whether they are on or off. It is something to behold, actually (the amount of network traffic they generate). My Samsung TV gets to access my Wi-Fi only when I need to update it. Otherwise, it is sitting in the corner off the network and I use Apple TV device to stream stuff on it.
BTW if you do use Apple TV device to stream to a Samsung TV, do use the built-in Apple TV color calibration (it will require your iPhone too) as the TV is not really very color precise by default.
