633: iPhone Tippy-Top

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.

While OpenAI readies a familar-sounding smart speaker, Jason and Myke break down the public betas for macOS, iOS, and watchOS, including Siri AI and new Photos features.

Inside Apple's OpenAI lawsuit: How do trade secrets conflict with expert knowlege, was there a concerted effort to steal secret documents to kickstart OpenAI hardware, and how does Apple's own vulnerability inform the whole situation?

Apple seeks RAM in all the wrong places, Jason has two tangents about FileMaker, and we deal with a large load of somewhat puzzling rumors and legal cases.
