In April, a federal judge demanded that Apple begin allowing web links, cease restricting how links are formatted, and enable developers to offer external payment options without giving the company a cut of their revenue. Apple promptly appealed and requested that the order be put on hold until the legal proceedings were finished.

Apple on Wednesday failed to persuade a U.S. appeals court to pause key parts of a federal judge's order requiring the iPhone maker to immediately open its lucrative App Store to more competition.

Apple Inc. lost its request to pause a court order requiring it to let App Store developers steer users to the web to purchase in-app items without paying a commission.

If you crossed “Ted Lasso” with Woody Harrelson’s 1996 movie “Kingpin,” swapped in Owen Wilson and made the sport golf, you would probably get something like “Stick,” the 10-episode Apple TV+ comedy about a washed-up pro golfer trying to heal his psychic wounds by helping a teen prodigy live up to his potential.

Titled Stick, the Apple TV+ series stars Wilson as Pryce Cahill, a washed-up professional golfer who takes up coaching a young prodigy. Think Ted Lasso meets Happy Gilmore, with a whole lot of Wilson.
