Richmond for some extra time. It&#8217;s out with the old and in with the new(ish) for season 4 of Ted Lasso, and while we thought we&#8217;d seen our last goal back in 2023, it seems Apple&#8217;s love of the beautiful game was too much of a lure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Jason Sudeikis plays the titular Ted Lasso, leading the pack as the Kansas City soccer coach who takes a very different career turn that lands him in the UK.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">While Apple&#8217;s team of TV shows continues to grow with the likes of Severance and Pluribus, its latest star signing brings a familiar face back to the streaming service. The first trailer for Ted Lasso is here, and although we&#8217;re already doing laps of the pitch in excitement ahead of its August 5 release, others have branded it as little more than one giant iPhone ad.<\/p>\n<h2>Is Ted Lasso season 4 pushing the iPhone?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Like the changing of the seasons, Apple&#8217;s annual rollout of the iPhone is a guarantee since Steve Jobs unveiled the OG iPhone back in 2007. The iPhone might not need much marketing, but cleverly, Ted Lasso is promoting them right under our noses. A September 2021 video from the Wall Street Journal noted that in one 29-minute episode of Ted Lasso, there were a whopping 36 shots of Apple products.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">This conversation has resurfaced with the release of the season 4 trailer, reminding us that Apple apparently loses $1 billion a year on Apple TV. Over on X, Anish Moonka says that Ted Lasso isn&#8217;t exactly a cheap show, especially as Sudeikis has seen his pay jump from $300,000 an episode in season 1 to a reported $1 million in season 4.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Apple TV&#8217;s 45 million paying subscribers are a drop in the ocean when compared to Netflix&#8217;s 325 million, while the fact that it has less than 1% of all US streaming time means there should be questions about why the service continues.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Still, with Apple making $143.8 billion in revenue and $42 billion in profit in the last three months of 2025, the whole loss of&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uniladtech.com\/streaming\/ted-lasso-season-four-most-expensive-iphone-ad-ever-113875-20260429\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple&#8217;s &#8216;most expensive iPhone ad ever&#8217; hits screens soon with Ted Lasso season 4 https:\/\/www.uniladtech.com\/streaming\/ted-lasso-season-four-most-expensive-iphone-ad-ever-113875-20260429&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":237027,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/resizer.ladbiblegroup.com\/ogimage\/v3\/assets\/bltb5d92757ac1ee045\/bltb1fc786c276e6963\/69f1f84e87801d75237d114b\/Jason_Sudeikis_in_Ted_Lasso_season_4.jpg?crop=1200,675,x0,y0","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[120],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-237026","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-iphone"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/237026"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=237026"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/237026\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":237028,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/237026\/revisions\/237028"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/237027"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=237026"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=237026"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=237026"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
