On Apple TV: Disney+
Disney's paid streaming service has been available since the start of the year in France and on iOS, as well as on tvOS.

The best games according to Apple
On iPhone:Genshin Impact
An award-winning adventure game, with top-notch production, quality graphics and music, not to mention the well-thought-out combat system and extremely well-crafted game world. A real pearl.
On iPad:Legends of Runeterra
New title from Riot Games, the studio behind League of Legends. It is a card and strategy game, taking advantage of LoL champions and new heroes from the Runeterra universe.
Sur Mac: Disc Elysium
Award-winning adventure role-playing game. It is a title for adults, quite dark and deep, but considered the best release of the year of its kind by the specialized press.
On Apple TV:Dandara Trials of Fear
New update for the famous Dandara game, with new worlds to discover by controlling this character capable of jumping from floor to ceiling at full speed. The base game was excellent, this Trials of Fear edition is even better.
Sur Apple Arcade : Sneaky Sasquatch
Special survival game, in which the player plays a cryptic monster equivalent to Bigfoot and haunting the forests in American legends. The goal is to find something to eat from hikers and other carefree campers, without getting caught.
And the trend of the year
The Cupertino company also, in its report, mentioned the few trends observed on the App Store in recent months and welcomed notable initiatives. She highlights, for example, the fact that several developers have signed applications to facilitate mutual aid between users, whether to support causes, such asShine, or otherwise to improve the distance education experience, thanks toExplain Everything Whiteboard, or even keep in touch with loved ones, withCaribou.
Also the Californian giant congratulates the Niantic studios for their successful bet concerningPokémon Goand the paradigm shift that the game had to incorporate, initially designed to be experienced outside the home. Whereas this year, we have never left our homes so little.
Finally, Apple ends its file by highlighting the applicationShareTheMealwhich allows us to support charitable works by being closer to those who receive the aid sent.
