638: I Stared Directly into the M6

Apple's slow move toward a fitness band makes us wonder if the company has lost its ability to execute quickly. Also, it's time for a MacBook Neo check-in, and Myke questions Jason's Apple Watch use.

The new products are here! Jason reviews the M6 Mac mini, and then Jason and Myke both talk about their hands-on experiences with the iPhone 18 Pro and Apple Watch series 12. This is apparently just the beginning of a busy season!

The 27 OS releases have dropped. Jason has a review of macOS Golden Gate and Myke acts as the ambassador for Siri AI. And we've also got more reactions to just what makes the iPhone Duo so interesting.

We break down Apple's September 9 event, including the foldable iPhone Duo, the non-foldable iPhone 18 Pro, the surprising new Apple Watches that double as AI wearables, and the event debut of John Ternus as Apple's CEO. And who won the draft?!

It's time for another Apple event draft! But before we predict what Apple will introduce next week, we need to send off the Tim Cook Era and discuss a somewhat surprising announcement of new chips and new Macs!

The EU gives up and settles with Apple, John Ternus's new home strategy starts to come into focus, and people at Apple just love the folding iPhone.

Oops! All segments! This week we've got Snell Talk (tea), Upstream (Apple TV), Lawyer Up (regulations), Rumor Roundup (new iPhones), The Betails (final betas?), and Ask Upgrade!

After a visit to Jason's backyard, we discuss OpenAI's response to Apple's lawsuit, the future of Apple's wearable line, the return of "Ted Lasso," and some starters for Spider-Man.

Dan Moren joins the Upgrade program to discuss the new Apple Upgrade program, along with Apple's financial results, the approach of Apple's new home strategy, and the perfect phone for iPhone 13 mini fans.

It's a Summer of Fun takeover! Jason asks Myke about the state of his current workflows, and we both highlight our current Macs and current favorite Mac utilities.
