The guys score their picks regarding Apple's "It's Glowtime" event.

It's Glowtime! Apple's annual iPhone keynote is September 9, so Federico, Myke, and Stephen peered into a crystal ball and have returned with a range of predictions for the event.

Federico tried an iPhone screen protector, Stephen remembered some dates, and Myke interrupted the first St. Jude read of the year. Lastly, Apple has an upcoming event, so the guys take some time to reevaluate the Bill of Rickies.

It's a busy week on the show. The guys cover some iPhone rumors, changes at Apple Podcasts, the announcement of Monument Valley 3, and iOS 18's final days in beta, all before discussing the idea of the "Apple cult" starting to fade.

This week, Google unveiled the Pixel 9 line, Apple turned its eye toward Patreon, and many anniversaries arrived.

Federico is back from the beach and has some concerns about changes in iOS 18. Myke isn't too broken up about the SuperDrive's demise, and Stephen is still working hard on Performa Month. Also, Mozilla may be in trouble.

Myke has started a gate, Stephen has launched a new series, and John returns with questions about betas. The guys also share their early impressions of Apple Intelligence.

This week, the guys celebrate the release of a new HomePod mini and the Public Betas, then talk about the new versions of UTM, Delta, and Overcast.

John Voorhees joins Stephen and Myke to discuss the origins of Bluetooth, Phil Schiller's new/old job, and the possibilities of a new HomePod. Then, they play a BRAND NEW game from the creators of The Rickies, The Annies, the Jeremies, and others.

Federico and Myke discuss MacStories’ open letter on AI, explore their feelings on how AI could impact the future of creativity, and delve into the idea of "Context, Consent, and Control."
