"Apple gives another extended free period of TV+ with new product purchases, even if you already had a trial" |
0 |
| - The pick went through a little more revision after round 2 ended.
- Apple extended the existing free period for TV+, which does not count
- Myke notes that, since this extension was announced via press release before the event, a differently-worded pick may have been ambiguous based on the rules at the time, so an explicit rule about the scoring window is added.
