    The App Store verification prompt in iOS 17.4 is just a bug.

    Earlier today, iSoftware Updates (via MacRumors), spotted a new prompt in the iOS 17.4 beta 4 that asks EU users to “verify the information before installing” an app on the App Store. However, Apple spokesperson Peter Ajemian tells The Verge the feature is just a bug, and it will be disabled before iOS 17.4 rolls out.

    Update February 23rd, 3:16PMET: Noted that this notification is a bug.

    The Harry Potter TV series is a couple more years away.

    Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav said during an earnings call that the studio is “aiming” to release its upcoming Harry Potter TV show on Max in 2026. The company first announced the show last year, saying it will be a “decade-long series produced with the same epic craft, love and care this global franchise is known for.”

    Streamers love a good bundle.

    During Warner Bros. Discovery’s earnings call on Friday, CEO David Zaslav said bundling streaming services “just makes an awful lot of sense.” He also hinted at Max becoming a distributor of streaming channels, like Roku or Amazon:

    These channel stores morphed into places that just provide a simpler and easier and less anxious experience for people to find the content that they want... I‘ve always advocated that we should do it ourselves, and so we’re looking to do that domestically, we’re looking to do it outside the US.

    Zaslav adds that WBD’s upcoming sports venture with ESPN and Fox “is trying to meet that very need.”
