Episode 285: Apple TV+ ad, HomePod, and Apple Headset

Apple recently released a new ad with actor Timothée Chalamet promoting Apple TV+ shows and movies. It is one of the best ads I've seen from Apple in a long time because it gives you a look at all of the great content Apple has, but it's also funny and engaging. That's a hard thing to do in an advertisement. Dave and I also talk about new rumors for Apple's headset and talk about some earlier reviews of the new HomePod.

Episode 282: AirTags, AI Audio, and the cloud

AirTags once again saved someone's luggage from disappearing as a woman tracked her bag traveling around town for a couple of days before making a discovery that is troubling to say the least. Apple unvelied a new AI audio book narrator, which on the surface sounds like a great idea, however, there is an entire industry dedicated to the spoken word—what happens to them?

Apple is rumored to be working on a search engine to rival Google. While competition is good, it seems like a steep hill for Apple to climb because its search isn't exactly very good. Apple was bidding for the NFL Sunday Ticket, but pulled out of the bidding at the last minute, which saw the NFL package go to rival YouTube. Have you ever thought about getting a foldable phone? Dave and I talk about whether or not Apple should, or would, make such a device. Zocdoc : NOW is the time to prioritize ...
