My wife got me a pair of Meta Ray Ban sunglasses this week. I haven't had a lot of time to work with them , but I talk about my first impressions. Amazon Web Services went down this week and it took some of the biggest tech companies along with it. So much money and expertise all taken out because of one simple mistake. Apple's recently released products are availble for pickup now and there doesn't seem to be shortages of anything. Apple has been moving into live sports over the past couple of years with MLS and MLB, but now Apple has it's biggest one ever--F1. They will get the rights to F1 in the U.S. starting next year.

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.
