Elsewhere, Apple will be highlighting black voices throughout February. A Black History Month hub in the App Store will spotlight black-owned businesses, developers, entertainment apps, gaming apps and social justice apps. It will also include stories from black developers emphasizing the importance of representation in games and applications.

Apple Music will focus on black musicians throughout the month with playlists, original videos and essays from black musicians, writers, directors and influencers.

In the Apple TV app, the Essential Stories theme will focus on the “multidimensionality of the Black family and its representation on screen”. It will bring attention to a selection of TV shows and movies that touch on topics like parenthood and select queer families, while also highlighting some of the most memorable TV families.

Apple News will feature organized topic groups that focus on stories about the issue of race in America and audio articles who recognize the black experience. Apple will also honor Black History Month through podcasts, Fitness + and the latest Shot on iPhone campaign, as well as Today at Apple virtual sessions and tutorials that showcase ways to use creativity to effect change.
