During the period from October to December 2024, the company achieved an unprecedented peak in sales, breaking previous records. The introduction of the iPhone 16 models contributed significantly to this success, generating $69.1 billion USD in sales alone, despite a minor dip compared to the $69.7 billion USD in sales during the previous period ending in December 2023. In a meeting with investors, CEO Tim Cook highlighted that Apple had set a new record for iPhone users who opted to upgrade their devices. He stated, “We’ve never seen such a high number of upgraders before. The user base also reached an all-time high during this period. If you compare the 16 to the 15, which was launched in September, you’ll find that over two quarters from September to the end of the December fiscal quarter, the 16 outperformed the 15. This suggests that there are strong incentives for users to upgrade.

I’ve grown even more appreciative of my newly subscribed Apple TV+ service, having watched “Severance” in Season 2. This exceptional sci-fi series, which follows employees whose personal and work memories are compartmentalized, is one of my favorites. What I adore about it is the clever choice of songs that beautifully resonate with the show’s underlying themes. A song from a renowned rock band’s catalog that particularly caught my attention underscores these thematic elements.

The iconic Air Jordan 11 “Legend Blue” is making a comeback, but with a twist! This time, it’s available in MCS and TD cleated versions. Originally known as the “Columbia” colorway, this popular design was first introduced in 1996 during the NBA All-Star Game, where it was worn by Michael Jordan. The shoe’s color scheme reflects Jordan’s roots at the University of North Carolina, with a white leather upper accented by soft blue details such as the tongue branding and Jumpman logo on the heel. The cleats are set on a semi-translucent outsole. After a retro release during Holiday 2024, the “Columba” is back, but this time as cleated versions designed for high-performance athletes in baseball and football.
