One of the trends I saw on social media in the lead-up to the new year was a pledge by people to be "better" in 2021. To be more kind, more thoughtful, more patient, and more forgiving. Basically, taking the negative energy 2020 gave us and...

Last year I thought Apple Arcade was going to introduce a new frontier for mobile gaming. That might still be true, but there hasn't been much evidence to support the claim. Yes, the service has seen some amazing titles on it, but all the d...
