532: I Am Foreign Exchange Headwinds

Jason's gotten his hands on the M4 MacBook Pros, the M4 iMac, and a visionOS widescreen Mac display. (And we're both considering Mac mini purchases.) Plus: Apple's issues with new products, and the threat of huge EU fines.

Scoring our very weird draft, The new Mac mini and MacBook Pro announcements, Apple's latest financial results, our reactions to Image Playground and Genmoji betas, and pondering the actual job of a CEO.

We kick off a busy week by analyzing the new M4 iMac, the arrival of two different waves of Apple Intelligence, and Jason's review of the iPad mini, but we'll have to wait a week to score our draft because there's more yet to come!

This week we recommend some TV shows, differentiate between types of vaporware, and break down the new iPad mini and Amazon Kindles. Then, Myke and Jason try to predict exactly what Apple might announce later this month.

What AirPods Adaptive mode is for, Apple's first immersive narrative film, tricky executive retention efforts, the Vision products roadmap, Apple TV+ goes to Amazon channels, and the trouble with iPhone 16 Camera Control.

We discuss how Apple is so influential that even its simplest moves can make or break companies and industries. Also: Apple plans a big Halloween week, and there's an immersive thriller coming to Vision Pro.

Jason and Myke break down Meta's preview of its Orion AR glasses project and what it says (or doesn't say) about the future of Apple's Vision product line. Also: An Apple Intelligence timeline, Masimo board intrigue, and a million-dollar celebration.

Jason and Myke share their first thoughts about the iPhone 16 Pro and Apple Watch Series 10, live and in person!

All of Apple's new operating systems are here, and we discuss our favorite new features--and acknowledge the elephant waiting in the wings. We also spend a little time celebrating the tenth birthday of both Upgrade and Six Colors.

From the iPhone 16 to the Apple Watch Series 10 to the AirPods 4 to the _other_ AirPods 4, and with the release of Apple Intelligence hanging over it all, we break down the announcements from the September Apple Event.
