Apple rolled out its AI strategy at WWDC this month. Dave and I take a look at that, as well as, a look at what Siri will be able to do, and what it won't do at launch. There are rumors of a new M4 MacBook Pro, which makes sense since Apple just released an iPad with the same chip. The requirements for Apple's new AI strategy calls for an iPhone 15 Pro, which leaves a lot of older iPhone users out in the cold.

It is a big week for women's basketball as college star Caitlin Clark went No. 1 in the WNBA draft. As incredible as her college career was, some fans are outraged at her salary.
