2022 Apple TV 4K Now Available on Apple’s Refurbished Store
In the U.S., the refurbished models are discounted by $20 compared to brand new, with the 64GB model with Wi-Fi priced at $109 and the 128GB model with Wi-Fi and Ethernet priced at $129. The refurbished third-generation Apple TV 4K comes with the Siri Remote with a USB-C port, power cord, and documentation inside a new plain white box.
Apple says all of its refurbished products are functionally tested, inspected, and cleaned, and they are eligible for AppleCare+ coverage.
The third-generation Apple TV 4K features the A15 Bionic chip, HDR10+ support, a thinner and lighter design, increased RAM, and more. Note that this Apple TV model ships without a USB-C charging cable in the box for the Siri Remote, except in Brazil, so you will need to purchase a cable separately if you do not have one.

Apple Claims App Store Security Features Prevented Over $2 Billion in Fraudulent Transactions in 2022
Close to 3.9 million stolen credit cards were prevented from being used to make fraudulent purchases within apps, and 714,000 accounts were banned from transacting again, which is how Apple ended up at the $2 billion figure.
Apple says that it also rejected almost 1.7 million app submissions for apps that did not meet App Store standards for “privacy, security, and content.” Of those 1.7 million apps, 400,000 were rejected for privacy violations, 153,000 were rejected for spam, copying an existing app, or misleading users, and 29,000 were rejected for including hidden or undocumented features.
428,000 developer accounts were terminated for potentially fraudulent activity, and 105 million fraudulent developer account creations were blocked. Apple also deactivated 282 million fraudulent customer accounts and blocked another 198 million before they were created.
Fewer fraudulent developer accounts were terminated in 2022 than 2021 because of “new methods and protocols” that Apple implemented to make fraudulent account creation more difficult. Apple claims that it protected users from “nearly 57,000” apps sourced from “illegitimate storefronts” that distribute harmful software. Over 147 million fraudulent ratings and reviews were blocked from the App Store, preventing customers from being tricked by reviews left by bot accounts.
Apple’s App Store security figures come as it is facing pressure to allow iPhone and iPad customers to install apps outside of the App Store through “sideloading” or alternate app marketplaces. The European Union has already passed legislation forcing Apple to allow apps to be installed outside of the App Store, functionality that the company is expected to implement in Europe as soon as iOS 17.
The United States is working on similar legislation to allow customers to bypass the App Store, and Apple says such mandates would “undermine the privacy and security protections” that iPhone users have come to rely on and would allow “malware, scams, and data-exploitation to proliferate.”

Apple’s 2022 iPad is back on sale for $399
If you missed the chance to buy Apple’s 2022 iPad when it was $50 off earlier this month, now you have another opportunity to purchase the tablet at a discount. For the time being, Amazon is offering the device at a starting price of $399. That’s a return to the iPad’s best-ever price.
The sale includes all color, storage and networking variants of the 10.9-inch tablet. Colorway options include pink, blue, silver and yellow, and you can order the device with either 64GB or 256GB of storage. Apple also offers an LTE variant that features cellular connectivity. With the $50 discount, you’ll pay $549 for either the 256GB WiFi model or the 64GB LTE model. The top-spec variant is currently $699.
Engadget awarded the 10th-generation iPad a score of 85 when it reviewed the device last fall. The tablet features a refreshed design reminiscent of the iPad Pro and iPad Air. Apple removed the Home button found on the previous model, replacing it with an edge-facing Touch ID button that doubles as a sleep button. The company also outfitted the tablet with its A14 Bionic chipset and repositioned the front-facing camera so that it has a landscape orientation, making the tablet better suited for video calls. Note that the 2022 iPad is not a great choice if you’re an artist as it doesn’t support the second-generation Apple Pencil. With the redesign also came a more expensive price tag, something Amazon’s discount helps address.
