588: DO NOT Put an AirTag on a Lobster

Clawdbot has a new (worse) name, AirTags got an update, Camo served Apple with a lawsuit, and Sebastiaan de With has a new job. This week, the guys talk about all of these stories and more.

Myke and Ticci dig into Mark Gurman’s report on Siri in the ’27 OS releases, check their vibes for Apple and AI for the year, and talk about the “Personal Super Intelligent” lobster known as Clawdbot.

The two chairmen (and Myke) regroup to discuss beige accessories and Apple Creator Studio, including its icons. They then dig into what Apple could achieve by moving Siri onto Google’s foundation models.

The guys grade their predictions made way back in January 2025, then make new ones for 2026.

The usual guys give out some new and prestigious awards, score their past competitions, and put pride on the line to predict what will happen in 2026.

The year is coming to an end, and to celebrate, Federico, Stephen, and Myke score each month with the only unit of measurement that matters: the Ticci Scale.

This week, the guys catch up on more Apple leadership changes and talk about music streaming services before the alarm goes off for another round of The Quizzies.

Big shifts are underway at Apple. Myke, Federico, and Stephen talk through to the exits of Alan Dye and John Giannandrea ... and what might happen next. Later, they deal with some follow up and consider how to define the modern iPhone.

Federico and Myke discuss the rumours of a 'Snow Leopard year' for iOS 27, why they think Sam Altman and Jony Ive might benefit from saying less, and share a few things they’re thankful for in the world of technology.

The guys check in on their Apple Intelligence use, Myke reviews a new accessory, Federico tries a new Google product, and Stephen is hiring.
