2899 reasons Apple made a touchscreen Mac
On this week's show, Stephen and Daniel discuss Apple in all its current messy glory. The company has just released a spate of products, from the mature and dependable iPhone 18 Pro to the troubled iPhone Duo to the interesting and unproven HomeView to the ultra-expensive MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display (say that 10 times fast). What do they all have in common? They're not directly dependent on Apple becoming an AI company to succeed. The guys discuss the parallels and differences to Apple in the 90s and today, and where they need to go from here.Also on the show: Alphabet's Q3 was a bit of a mixed bag, but it provides further proof that Google's self-disruption with AI Mode and AI Overviews is not going to resolve itself anytime soon.Show notes and links:Google had a very good, very bad Q3I’ve used the Pixel 11 Pro XL and iPhone 18 Pro Max, and Apple’s ecosystem isn’t enough anymore Hosted on Acast.
