Can you buy Severance's Lumon Terminal Pro from Apple?
ALBAWABA - Apple took the internet by storm after launching the "Lumon Terminal Pro" on its official website to celebrate the success of Ben Stiller's hit series, "Severance", which was recently greenlit for a third season. Fans of both the renowned company and the show were quick to notice the product alongside other MacBook products, but were met with a film to watch instead of a "buy" button. It turns out, Apple unexpectedly used its official website to celebrate Severance's success by showcasing behind-the-scenes snippets of how the show was edited using its products. (Apple) Collectors who were excited about potentially owning the "Lumon Terminal Pro" will be disappointed to learn that the product was solely revealed for promotional purposes and isn't available to purchase at the time of reporting. On the contrary, several individuals shared that a company called "Signature Plastics" created a keycap set inspired by the vintage-styled computer. Take into account that the full keycap set will cost you around $200. The "Lumon Terminal Pro" is modeled after the computers used by the show's "innies" during their working hours. Apple TV's Severance is highly regarded by cinephiles across the globe for its creative usage of cinematography, interesting plotline, and excellent writing/ directing. In a recent podcast with Conan O'Brien, Ben Stiller expressed how he didn't expect the series to pick up and become this popular among people. He added further that they started filming the show during the COVID lockdown, making it that much harder to film. Nonetheless, the show has earned success and is regarded by many as one of the best pieces of entertainment of the present time. Severance currently sits at a respectable 8.7/10 on IMDB and 96% on Rotten Tomatoes.

The Lumon Terminal Pro computer pops up on Apple's website
The Lumon Terminal Pro -- the computer used in Apple TV's hit series "Severance" -- has appeared on Apple's retail website. When shopping you'll see the new device, adorned with a red "New" label, when you click to view the available Mac computers Apple has for sale from the top-level navigation. But sorry, "Severance" fans: The Lumon terminal computer isn't actually for sale. Instead, its appearance on the retail website serves as an advertisement for Apple's streaming service, Apple TV+, which is available as a free three-month trial with any purchase of a Mac computer. The streaming offering is a part of Apple's growing services business, which grew by 4% in the most recent quarter to reach $26.34 billion, helping push Apple's gross margin to the highest on record. Given its pop culture appeal, the Cupertino-based tech giant has been heavily marketing "Severance," now Apple's most-watched TV series ever, with a number of official tie-ins, including free e-books on Apple Books, a "Severance" podcast with Ben Stiller and Adam Scott, a LinkedIn profile for Lumon Industries (the fictional company in the show), a "Severance"-themed playlist, an NYC pop-up, and more. On Wednesday, the company also showcased how one of the show's editors, Geoffrey Richman, uses an iMac, Mac mini, and MacBook Pro to work on the series, whether on location, at home, or on the go. Alongside the Lumon Terminal Pro listing, there's a link to a short film offering a behind-the-scenes look at his editing process. Explore the online world of Apple TV's 'Severance'
