581: A Very Dented Can

Apple's new operating systems have arrived and we've got thoughts about iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS Tahoe, and more. We also catch up on what we've learned since last week's Apple Event.

From the iPhone Air to the iPhone 17 models, from AirPods Pro 3 to the new Apple Watches, we break down all the announcements from the September Apple Media Event!

Jason and Myke preview what will happen at next week's Apple event. What form might a thinner iPhone Air take? Will the AirPods Pro come roaring back? Is the Apple Watch Ultra in store for an upgrade? To the winner goes the glory.

After an era of stability, Apple may be about to mix things up with the iPhone, including a bunch of new models and even a change to the traditional fall roll-out cycle. And we end the Summer of Fun with a summery Ask Upgrade!

We imagine how Apple would tier list its own products, and discuss what kind of personality might work for a tabletop "robot" from Apple.

Blind ranking bad Apple products, hope for a cheaper MacBook, the perils of Siri automation, and apparently Tim Cook took a trip to Washington D.C. for some sort of meeting?

What's that jingling sound? It might be the cash in Apple's pockets after its record financial quarter. Also: Apple responds to the DoJ, and Tim Cook gives an AI pep talk.

It's Public Beta season and we've got thoughts about the good and bad in macOS Tahoe. Then Jason forces Myke to listen to some sounds of the summer, but probably not the ones you're thinking of.

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.
