The 5 most important details we just learned about Apple’s long-rumored push into TV

The Apple TV app is something those with an iPhone or an iPad can already have, but Apple intends its TV service to extend far beyond its hardware.

To that end, Apple plans to put the Apple TV app on Samsung smart TVs starting this spring, and it’s scheduled to arrive on Amazon’s Fire TV, LG TVs, Roku-powered TVs, Sony TVs, and Vizio TVs “in the future.”

That’s a major move for Apple and a concession to the much larger world of TV owners who don’t have Apple’s set-top box, the Apple TV.

Of course, if you own an iPhone, an iPad, or an Apple TV, you’ll simply receive an update this May that will add Apple TV Channels. TV Plus isn’t expected to arrive until the fall, also as part of the Apple TV app.

The Walking Dead finale recap: A flicker of hope predicts big things ahead

The storm is here. The Kingdom is barren as snow begins to fall on the once thriving settlement. The fair is over, but the promised trade didn’t bring what many hoped. Their pipes still burst, the rot still spread, and this home, this beacon for so many who sought shelter from the cold apocalyptic wasteland, became untenable. So now, the King and Queen, still carrying the grief of losing their son, must now carry their people to Hilltop as a harsh blizzard descends upon them and the Whisperers still lurk in their periphery. But, once the storm passes and their friends on the hill open up their gates, it all seems like a blip on the timeline. We’re left with both hope and a promise of much bigger things to come. In the final moments before the credits roll, that radio Eugene, Rosita, and Gabriel have been tinkering with since the time jump, their initial mission that first put everyone on the warpath with the Whisperers, finally fulfilled its purpose. When the blizzard came, the power
