apple-rumors-cyber-attacks-2016-aaplWatch: The Apple (AAPL) Watch Sport is now available for purchase at Walmart (WMT), reports MacRumors. The Watch Sport is available for purchase at select stores operated by the retailer and via its website. The versions available are the 38mm and 42mm models and they come in Space Grey and Silver. The price for the Watch ranges from $349 to $399 and there are also accessories for sale. The retailer offers free shipping on online orders over $50 and in-store pickup for free.

Apps: Apps in the App Store now show when they have an Apple TV version, 9to5Mac notes. These apps can be identified because they have the label “SF.UniversalAppleTV” attached to them. This label is new and is still being rolled out. This means that all apps with TV versions may not list as such in their descriptions. The label will likely be updated in the future to just plainly say Apple TV, much like the label for Watch apps.

Security: Apple may face tough hackers in 2016, reports AppleInsider. According to a security firm Symantec, it’s likely that the tech company will start seeing more cyber attacks against its devices. The security firm claims that an increase in cyber attacks on iOS devices this year is what leads it to this conclusion. However, the firm also noted that attacks against AAPL devices this year were low when compared to devices offered by its rivals.
