Althought Star Wars: The Force Awakens is the movie on everyone’s mind at the moment, it’s only one of several entries into the Star Wars film canon we’ll see in the coming years. There will be two more sequels directly following the original trilogy and a set of anthology films focusing on characters and events outside of the main story.

I’ve shown you a wide range of iPhone cases that span all shapes, sizes and price points. I also showed you my favorite iPhone 6 case, which is a sleek metal bumper that is now just $13 on Amazon. While inexpensive iPhone cases are great, there are also some options out there that are surprisingly pricey — can they really be worth the expense?

Apple’s plan to roll out a TV subscription service has reportedly been pushed back, yet again. According to Bloomberg, Apple is still planning to roll out a revamped Apple TV this fall but will wait until 2016 at the earliest before announcing its intriguing and long-rumored TV subscription service.
