The biggest free ad-supported streaming service is now available on Apple Vision Pro. Tubi — the Fox-owned service that has more than 250,000 movies and TV episodes, and more than 250 live channels — can now be loaded onto Apple’s VR platform. It’s still free, and it still has ads, of course. And the inclusion on Apple Vision Pro brings the number of platforms Tubi supports to just shy of three dozen.

You can watch Tubi on Apple Vision Pro in the U.S., Australia, and Canada.

“Our mission is to ensure all people have access to all the world’s stories,” Mike Bidgoli, chief product and technology officer at Tubi, said in a press release. “We want to be wherever our viewers want us to be and deliver delight and personalized content to them in every touchpoint. That’s why we’re launching on Apple Vision Pro and remain focused on developing engaging experiences across the 30+ devices we support.”

Tubi is a bit of a hybrid in the FAST space, combining on-demand movies and series with dozens of linear channels. (And we can help with the best things to watch on Tubi.) Tubi says it has nearly 80 million monthly active users and hit a record high of 2% of total TV viewing time, according to Nielsen Gauge.

Apple Vision Pro is a $3,500 AR/VR headset that in addition to the countries named above also is available in France, Germany, and the U.K. Watching media on Apple Vision Pro essentially puts a huge screen right in front of your eyes, and it’s widely considered (by those who actually have Apple Vision Pro, anyway) to be an incredible way to watch anything. So long as you can afford it.

The iPhone 18 Pro could see a major design change
A person holding the Apple iPhone 16e showing the screen.

If the iPhone 18 release schedule wasn't enough of a shift, it looks like the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max models could switch to under-screen Face ID and have only a small camera in the top-left corner of the screen. The news comes from Digital Chat Station on Weibo, a leaker with an inside hook into Apple's supply chain.

"Well, I checked with the Apple supply chain a few days ago. The iPhone 18/18 Pro Max is indeed testing 3D faces under the screen, with a single HIAA hole; the iPhone 8/18 Air is a regular 2+1 hole," they write (as translated by Google.)

New music service promises better lossless audio than Apple, Amazon, and Tidal
Pure Audio Streaming service.

These days, with the ongoing exception of Spotify, most of the best music streaming services let you stream in lossless audio, which can deliver the equivalent of CD quality (or better) music to your phone, tablet, or wireless speakers. However, a new entrant in the streaming landscape called Pure Audio Streaming, thinks it can attract an audience of audiophiles by taking lossless further, with 5.1 surround sound, and multichannel 3D sound at up to 192kHz. Originally slated to launch in 2024, the company now says the service will debut on July 25.

Pure Audio Streaming is the brainchild of Stefan Bock, the founder of Germany-based mastering studios, MSM-Studios. But perhaps more relevantly, Bock is also the founder and developer of the Pure Audio Blu-ray disc format, which lets artists present their albums in a wide variety of formats (both lossy and lossless) on a single disc that can be played on any standard Blu-ray player. According to a Pure Audio Streaming press release, "The service delivers hardware-optimized playback for high-end AV systems and exclusive high-resolution content, positioning itself as the ultimate streaming solution for discerning audio enthusiasts."
