Apple becoming more open about product placements in TV shows
In at least a couple of episodes of ABC's The Middle, Frankie is seen using a non-Apple laptop with an overlay of what appears to be OS X.
The gray laptop was from an episode in March 2013 while the black one (HP?) was from October 2015.
Another episode of The Middle back in 2012 ("Hecking it Up") basically served as a commercial for a Volkswagen as the Heck family gushed over the borrowed use of their neighbor's Passat.

Shuttering Toys 'R' Us stores in United States put Apple products on clearance
My smaller town of 80,000 is 120 miles from the nearest Apple store. Walmart and Target have low-end electronics. Best Buy has become somewhat of a showroom for online retailers who sell cheaper and/or without sales tax. Most of my purchases have been diverted to Apple.com, Amazon.com, and BHPhotoVideo.com.
With RadioShack gone, I can no longer jaunt across town for the occasional $0.50 capacitor, diode, or resistor. I have to order 99 more than I need, pay 20x the value of the component in shipping charges, and wait a day or two for the order to arrive.
The first time I ever stepped foot in Kmart was when they closed. I left empty-handed because the "clearance" prices were too high.
I stopped buying tools and appliances at Sears years ago when they started outsourcing and the quality went way down. -
