Has anyone heard if it will be approved/released in Australia?

I am sure I am not alone, but I would probably watch more Netflix programming if they played nice. I am rarely tempted to drop out of the Apple TV app to go to Netflix anymore. Would have canceled a long time ago if other members of my household didn't watch more than I.

I was in the same boat as you for a while with other members of my houshold watching Netflix more than me. But I finally got too fed up with Netflix and cancelled it anyway. The rest of the family didn't miss it as much as they thought they would. They have more than enough content to watch on other services and are now appreciating the overall higher quality of content compared to Netflix. There were a few decent shows on Netflix, but it was getting harder to find amongst all the junk.

This is really bad reporting. When the series first started, they based it on a 3 book series, and they said UP FRONT that Book 1 would be season 1 & 2, and then Books 2 & 3 which each be one season each, for a total of four seasons. It's not ending early, or being cancelled, and the cast and crew are not being stopped from wrapping up the story. It's being renewed exactly like the plan was form the very beginning.

Well said. Apple Insider has had some very odd reporting related to Apple TV+ over the years. Usually related to reviews for shows though. But this one is very odd. The conclusions reached don't match up with the facts at all. It's like they wanted to write an article about shows being cancelled early and pushed ahead with it even though the scenario for Silo is the complete opposite. Apple confirms they are committing to producing the full series through to the end and Apple Insider tries to spin it the opposite way...

The SE wasn't updated and yet it was still showing as available for pre-order on the Apple store. Was there a change in price or refresh of the band options or something? Not sure why it would show as a pre-order if nothing has changed...

Apple Arcade has been a hit with my family and based on these comments from Apple it has achieved what it set out to do. They are not trying to compete with Steam or Game Pass and that makes sense. Apple Arcade is really it's own thing and while it won't be for everyone I certainly appreciate it. I would be happy to pay for it just for Sneaky Sasquatch alone. But there are many other games my kids enjoy on there too. Not having to worry about inappropriate ads or in app purchases is more than worth the few dollars a month it costs.
