593: John Ternus Was Deployed Tactically

Stephen and Federico have MacBook Neos *(MacBooks Neo?)* and share their impressions as Myke restrains himself from making a purchase. The guys explore the new set of emoji coming with iOS 26.4 via a round of The Jeremies, and try to enjoy Apple at 50.

Apple has released an avalanche of new and updated products, and the guys come up for air to judge their predictions.

Apple is hosting a mysterious media experience next week, and in anticipation of new products, Stephen, Myke, and Federico make predictions about what is coming.

The guys look ahead to Apple's March 4 event, talk through iOS 26.4 Beta 1, and ponder a world where Apple makes an AI-powered pendant.

What's old is new again: some iPhone displays are tinted green, Jony Ive is using aluminum, and Apple is struggling with shipping a more intelligent Siri.

This week, the guys discuss emo AI chatbots and Xcode 26.3, and Stephen tests Myke and Federico to determine which one is a true man of the people.

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.
