It's December 2, 2021. On this day in 1991, Apple released the 1.0 version of QuickTime, its own multimedia extension to play color video. Hard to imagine where we'd be without it.  ⏰ Today's Big Stories... in 30 Seconds Today We Watched, Read, and Listened to (so you don't have to): 498 articles, 11 podcasts, 14 press releases, 376 tweets, and 19 YouTube videos 1. Samsung Adds the A13 5G to Its Budget Phone Lineup Samsung has introduced the new A13 5G phone to its budget-friendly A-series. The phone takes some of the Galaxy series' most popular features, like a triple-lens camera, and makes them more accessible. Sound like the perfect phone to upgrade to? It launches on Friday for $249.99. 2. The iPhone 6 Plus Will Soon Be Considered Vintage Apple is adding 2014's iPhone 6 Plus to its vintage products list on December 31, as it has been more than five years since the company stopped selling it. The phone joins a variety of other Apple products like the fourth-gen iPod shuffle and iPad touch, the iPhone 5, and more. Not a bad group, if you ask us. 3. Twitch Introduces New Tools to Combat Ban Evasions Twitch has rolled out new tools to flag potential accounts that are evading bans. According to the platform, the new tools should make it easier for streamers and moderators to catch and deal with new accounts from previously banned users. We like it, Twitch. Get 'em outta there! 🦑 Go Deeper Ever wonder why no one seems to steal anything from Apple Stores? According to Charlie Sorrel, it comes down to a combination of good security and the fact that display products won't work if they leave the store. Whoa. 🎱 By the Numbers Down by a couple million  Data: TwitchTracker A lot of people stream on Twitch, but the number of active streamers has been on the decline this year. Are more streamers taking breaks? Are they moving to YouTube? We're not entirely sure, but we hope it has little to do with people harassing them in their own chats.  🔥 Today's Hot Deal
