I disagree. The early announcements allow consumers to know Apple has something coming so that we can decide whether to buy a third party product or wait for Apple.  As for ill will, your site regularly uses the blogs, reviewers, prognosticators, and nay-sayers as fodder for articles when their doom & gloom outlook proves unfounded.  If Apple believed the clamor had any material impact on product sales at launch, I’m sure they would stop.  Until then, I’m guessing they’ll keep doing what they do, following what so many of your site’s articles boil down to - ignore the distractions. 

You also get 3% cash back if you are in Apple’s iPhone upgrade program and use your Apple Card for your monthly installment payment. 

You have to manually update the payment method, though, as the ‘Make Default at Apple’ feature doesn’t reach Citizen One’s system. 

The tvOS app has always been incredibly buggy, particularly with their Live TV.  The stream regularly crashes when one time slot ends and the next begins.   Audio will start from one show and continue in the background even as you switch to another.  It’s the only app I regularly force close and relaunch.
