Ohio may be home to the Cleveland Browns, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Cleveland Indians, but for once, the a different part of the state is getting ready to give a warm “welcome home” greeting to a consistent winner.

Apple is currently constructing a new retail store in Dayton that should be opening its doors sometime before the year is out. The new Dayton location for this Apple store would be the state’s seventh total. Other Ohio cities where Apple stores reside include Woodmere, Akron, Cincinnati, Columbus and Westlake.

This is part of a larger overall effort to expand on Apple’s part, which includes plans to open 30 brand new retail stores this year alone, according to a document filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. However, only 10 of the new Apple Store locations that are slated to open these year will be donning U.S.-based addresses.

Though an exact grand opening date for the Dayton Apple Store is currently unknown, we’re willing to bet that its doors will open just in time for the kickoff of the 2014 holiday shopping season.

Speaking of kickoffs, at the very least, Dayton-based Browns fans will have somewhere new to hang out this coming winter once the team’s season concludes in October. (Zing!)

Apple has a chance to fix its worst product next year

Apple updated all of its Mac desktops in 2024, but left the worst part untouched: the accessories. In particular, we're talking about the infamous Magic Mouse. The mouse has been dunked on for years at this point, often pointed to as an example of the worst of Apple's design ethos. Despite all the positive changes to Macs over the past few years, the Magic Mouse has remained stagnant.

A new report, however, indicates that the Mac accessories will undergo a major change in early 2024. The Magic Keyboard, Magic Trackpad, and Magic Mouse will reportedly all be moving to USB-C to match the latest iPhone, after having previously used the Apple-exclusive Lightning connection. This seems like an obvious change that probably should have happened earlier. In fact, it was even rumored to happen in time for the launch of the M3 iMac -- but it didn't.

Shopping at Apple this holiday season? You should know this

If you splash out on an Apple product during the upcoming holiday season -- whether it’s an iPhone, iPad, Mac, smartwatch, earbuds, or some other item -- then it’s important to know the terms and conditions in the event that you want to return it.

For most of the year, Apple offers a refund if you return an unwanted item within two weeks of buying it. But during the hectic holiday season when we might be away or busy with friends and family, it usually extends the period to make the returns process more convenient.
