    Verizon is bundling Netflix with AMC Plus now, too.

    The new bundle comes with Netflix’s ad-free Premium plan and AMC Plus for a price of $25.99 / month (saving you $5.99 if you were to subscribe to both services separately). It’s only available to Verizon customers who combine “select” home internet and select 5G mobile plans now through March 31st.

    Verizon started offering a $10 / month Netflix and Max bundle last year, furthering its bet on becoming a streaming middleman.

    Apple is fighting to get “Reality Composer” trademarked.

    In a lawsuit filed in a Virginia federal court, Apple pushed back on the US Patent and Trademark Office’s decision to reject its trademarks for its Vision Pro developer tools, “Reality Composer” and “Reality Converter.”

    Apple argues that the two names won’t be confused with the “Reality Control” and “Reality Engine” products owned by Zero Density, the Turkish company that challenged the marks.
