Some people have never used a cassette tape to listen to music, my kids being among them. This week Dave takes a little side route into one of his thoughts on listening to cassettes. We have spent a lot of time talking about things that Apple has done wrong this past year in regards to AI and Siri, so this week we change things up and talk about the things we love about Apple and what they have done right.

I'm heading off to Miami this weekend to see the Formula 1 Grand Prix and take a tour of the pit lane. Dave tells us about his Formula 1 experience and his trip to Texas. We also talk about the rumored deal between Apple and Google to have Apple use Gemini in Apple Intelligence—this is probably the best news ever for Apple's AI efforts. If you haven't tried Gemini yet, you should—it's incredible. Apple is being forced to allow developers to get payment for their apps from outside the App Store, which means Apple doesn't get its 30% cut.

Dave has a few questions for our listeners about the difference in inexpensive dash cams compared to the more expensive models. Apple dropped the "Available Now" tagline from its Apple Intelligence page because... well, it's not available. A new survey suggests that people would be willing to pay up to $10 a month for Apple Intelligence.

Kind of a special episode this week—it's Dave's birthday! This week Dave and I talk about Apple's abrupt changes to its marketing for Apple Intelligence, effectively downplaying the nonexistent technology. We also look at a story describing the internal turmoil of Siri and how badly Apple exectives mismanaged the entire AI revolution.

The iPhone is as popular as ever among teens, according to a new study. That's important because as they grow up, they are the ones that will be buying new phones. With new tariffs expected to be imposed, Apple is flying planeloads of iPhones into the U.S. to ward off any immediate price increases. Apple Maps is now available as a web page on the iPhone, but is it necessary.

Apr 4, 2025

Dave spent a week in Ireland and gives us the highlight of his trip, including a really cool time spent with some big birds. Apple celebrated its 49th birthday this week—it's had to believe that the company (and me) are that old. WWDC is happening on June 9, 2025 the company announced, so get ready.

Just when you think it couldn't get any worse, Siri strikes again. Ask Siri, "what month is it?" on your iPhone and you get the reply, "Sorry, I don't understand." Apple's Siri executive held a meeting about the technology and was pretty brutal about the failings Apple has had until now. Oh yeah, Apple Intelligence is delayed, again.

It seems I may have been right after all—Apple is far behind in AI and now other people are realizing it too. Gruber wrote a scathing piece on Apple and its failed promises about Apple Intelligence. Apple unvieled an immersive concert experience featuring Metallica for its Vision Pro users, and Apple has officially delayed the release of the next generation Siri.

Mar 7, 2025

It was a big week for Apple with all kinds of new hardware announcements to fit every lifestyle and budget. We had a new iPad and a couple of models of the iPad Air; new MacBook Air M4; and the fastest Mac ever, the new Mac Studio.

The iPhone 16e was announced a little while ago so Dave and I take some time to look at the features of the new device and wonder if it fills the needs of its target market. Dave gives us a tip about giving visitors to your house a QR code to join the WiFi instead of sharing or telling everyone the password. Alexa+, Amazon's digital assistant is nearly complete and ready for primetime.

Feb 21, 2025

There is a lot to talk about this week. I suppose the biggest news is the announcement of the iPhone 16e, a new model of the budget iPhone from Apple. While it may be less expensive than other models in the lineup, it has some impressive specs, including Apple's first cellular modem.

Feb 14, 2025

Dave and I have been running into an issue that we both have when we move a Mac Finder window around the screen. Someone out there knows the answer to why this is happening. The Apple TV is now available on Android, so we discuss if that will increase subscriptions to the service. Apple is launching another health study, one of the areas that the company has excelled i n recent years. The iPhone SE update appears to be right around the corner.

Feb 7, 2025

Dave has been working on the best solution to keep his phone silent but still not miss any important calls. He thinks he has it worked out. Apple released a new app called Invites that is pretty cool. As the name implies, it lets you create invites with shared photo albums and Apple Music Playlists. It may be ten years too late, but still cool. We revisit a favorite topic this time of year, Apple's iconic Super Bowl ads and how things have changed in recent years.

Dave got a new piece of ancient technology that he tells us about—a printer. Google explains why its changing the names of some pretty well known geographical places in North America, and we talk some about AI and Apple's new person they hope will be able to wrangle this beast together.

With the upcoming release of iOS 18.3, Apple Intelligence can no longer be considered a beta, but sadly it still sucks really bad. Apple is rumored to be working on a new product to replace the HomePod and will include a screen and Apple Intelligence. Speaking of Siri, Dave and I ask it some simple questions that it gets wrong.

Jan 17, 2025

Did you know that your iPhone has a laundry tag decoder built-in? Me neither, but Dave found it and shows us how it works. With the new season of Severance here, Apple did one of the most remarkable campaigns to a TV show ever. We often talk about security and scammers on this show, but it has hit a new level of sophistication and it is truly scary.

Dave and I start out this week by taking a minute to talk about the devastating fires in California.

We also talk about Apple's statement on Siri privacy and the company's misleading Apple Intelligence ads.

Dec 13, 2024

Dave is having a problem with his HomePod not recognizing his voice all of a sudden. Apple released iOS 18.2 adding more Apple Intelligence features that aren't really that good. Voice Memos also received an update with some features that are really good, escpaically for musicians.

Have you noticed on your Apple Watch that Live Activities have taken over your screen. I noticed this a while ago, but couldn't figure out what was happening, but Dave knows and tells us how to stop it from happening. Intel removed its CEO and is looking for a replacement—it's not going to be an easy task to turn that company around. How is it that a man named David Mayer can break ChatGPT—Dave has the answer.

Apple has released its list of the most popular podcasts of 2024Dave and I go over the highlights from the different categories. Apple One is a bundle of Apple serives that you pay for monthly. Dave thinks that Apple is missing one service that they, and consumers, could benefit from. Be careful this holiday season, iPhone thieves are tracking deliveries of the device.

Apple has slowed production of the Vision Pro device due to slow sales according to reports released this week. Development of the next generation device has been suspended while the company looks at producing a lower cost version. Rumors of an Apple Hub, or HomePad, are gaining more steam, and BlueSky is back in the social networking circle.

We also look at the numbers from the company's fourth quarter fiscal results and how each product category did in the quarter. Finally, Dave looks at some of the new Apple Intelligence ads Apple just released.

As expected, Apple released a lot of new Mac models this week. iMacs, Mac minis and MacBook Pros were all refreshed with the M4 chips in additional to other changes. Just when you think I’m home, I show up in an expected location to record this week’s podcast.

Apple said on Thursday that next week will be big for the Mac. We expect new M4 Macs to be released, but we're not quite sure which models will be upgraded. A number of people were invited to LA for a hands-on experience, but we'll have to wait for more details. Apple executives are disputing the fact they are behind in AI, which seems silly considering how far they are behind in AI. Apple released the next beta of iOS which includes Genmoji and ChatGPT integration.
