553: The Apple Monument

We break down Apple's failure in U.S. District Court and what it means for the future of Apple's policies, corporate culture, corporate executives, and bottom line. Also (awkward!) we discuss Apple's quarterly financial results.

Apple tiptoes a line between the U.S., China, and India, while Europe hits back with a big fine. Is the solution to the iPad's high-end malaise... the Mac menu bar? And for Google, no thermostat is forever.

Myke Hurley returns to the show to discuss eight weeks of fatherhood and fatherly advice, everything he's missed, and modern baby technology. Plus we wonder about Vision Pro rumors and Jason offers academic apologies and e-reader follow-up.

After nearly 500 episodes away, Scott McNulty returns to the podcast to discuss the resilience of babies, dysfunction at Apple, the future of the Vision Pro, and (of course) ebooks and e-readers.

David Smith joins Jason to discuss how Apple will respond to U.S. tariffs, AI Apple health rumors, the release of iOS 18.4, and Jason's stressful family trip to the Apple Store.

Dan Moren joins Jason to discuss folding iPhones, long individual takes in TV shows, new OS features, and what WWDC 2025 might really bring.

Stephen Hackett joins Jason to discuss A.I. fallout, EU moves to expand device interoperability, Jason's recent shootout of TV streaming boxes, and more.

John Siracusa joins Jason to discuss Apple interface redesigns, Apple's ongoing AI disasters, the management challenges of Siri, and Jason's reviews of the new MacBook Air and Mac Studio.

It's been a quiet week, so John Gruber briefly joins Jason to discuss Apple's AI delay, new Macs, new iPads, and the future of Apple regulation worldwide.

Jason and Myke figure out which five Apple products should be depicted on a (hypothetical) monument to the history of the influential tech company.
