Welcome to 95 Mac Daily for Monday, August 18th, 2025. I'm your host, Chance Miller. We are

sponsored this week by Backblaze. Leading off today, Amazon is rolling out an update that brings

better integration with Apple's wallet app. One of Amazon's greatest strengths is the convenience

of making and receiving purchases.

The company has also gradually made the experience of returning those purchases easier, too.

For example, you often don't need to provide packaging or labels for your returns,

but can instead bring the product to a drop-off location, and they'll send it back on your behalf.

For iPhone users, Amazon has made another improvement to that returns process.

When you're managing a return in the Amazon app, you'll see a new option to add the

return label to the Apple Wallet app on your iPhone.

So instead of having to awkwardly navigate to the return screen in the Amazon app,

you can now save that label to the wallet app for easier access. Having the Amazon return code

inside, the wallet app is nice because it shows all the details you'll need, ensures you can

pull up the code at just the right time, and perhaps most notably, it means you don't need

a cellular connection

to load the return code. And not to mention in iOS 26, Apple is upgrading the Apple Wallet

order tracking feature. Powered by Apple Intelligence, it can now automatically pull order

information from your email inbox and save it directly in the wallet app. This means you'll be able to track orders for any retailer right inside wallet,

including your Amazon purchases.

Next up today, we've talked before about Apple's interest in acquiring the streaming rights for Sunday night baseball.

According to a new report from The Athletic, Apple is pressing ahead with those efforts.

A report says that Apple and NBC slash Peacock appear to be the final two contenders for the Sunday night baseball package and a separate package of first round playoff games.
