                      Apple Celebrates Black History Month

   Josh Centers

   In a [1]commitment to Black History Month, Apple is set to launch a
   wave of exhibitions across a wide away of its properties: the App
   Store, Apple Music, Apple Maps, Apple TV, Apple News, Apple Books,
   Apple Podcasts, Apple Fitness+, Shot on iPhone, and even Today at
   Apple.

   Perhaps most interesting, Apple is introducing the 'Black Unity
   collection,' which consists of a special edition Apple Watch Series 6
   ($399'$499), a Black Unity Sport Band ($49), and a special
   African-themed watch face (see '[2]watchOS 7.3, iOS 14.4, iPadOS 14.4,
   and tvOS 14.4 Address Serious Security Exploit,' 26 January 2021).
   Apple says in its press release that proceeds from these products will
   go to support six global nonprofits that focus on equality and civil
   rights.
