Episode 385: Formula 1, Gemini, and Apple's 30% 05/02/2025

Episode 385: Formula 1, Gemini, and Apple's 30% I'm heading off to Miami this weekend to see the Formula 1 Grand Prix and take a tour of the pit lane. Dave tells us about his Formula 1 experience and his trip to Texas. We also talk about the rumored deal between Apple and Google to have Apple use Gemini in Apple Intelligence—this is probably the best news ever for Apple's AI efforts. If you haven't tried Gemini yet, you should—it's incredible. Apple is being forced to allow developers to get payment for their apps from outside the App Store, which means Apple doesn't get its 30% cut.

Episode 384: Available Now and paying for Apple intelligence 04/25/2025

Episode 384: Available Now and paying for Apple intelligence Dave has a few questions for our listeners about the difference in inexpensive dash cams compared to the more expensive models.

Episode 382: Teens, iPhones on planes, and Maps 04/11/2025

Episode 382: Teens, iPhones on planes, and Maps The iPhone is as popular as ever among teens, according to a new study. That's important because as they grow up, they are the ones that will be buying new phones. With new tariffs expected to be imposed, Apple is flying planeloads of iPhones into the U.S. to ward off any immediate price increases. Apple Maps is now available as a web page on the iPhone, but is it necessary.

Episode 380: Apple Intelligence blunder and Siri is wrong (again) 03/21/2025

Episode 380: Apple Intelligence blunder and Siri is wrong (again) Just when you think it couldn't get any worse, Siri strikes again. Ask Siri, "what month is it?" on your iPhone and you get the reply, "Sorry, I don't understand." Apple's Siri executive held a meeting about the technology and was pretty brutal about the failings Apple has had until now. Oh yeah, Apple Intelligence is delayed, again.

Episode 379: Apple's pathetic AI, Metallica, new Siri delayed 03/14/2025

Episode 379: Apple's pathetic AI, Metallica, new Siri delayed It seems I may have been right after all—Apple is far behind in AI and now other people are realizing it too. Gruber wrote a scathing piece on Apple and its failed promises about Apple Intelligence. Apple unvieled an immersive concert experience featuring Metallica for its Vision Pro users, and Apple has officially delayed the release of the next generation Siri.

Episode 377: Is iPhone 16e worth it?, WiFi QR code, and Alexa+ The iPhone 16e was announced a little while ago so Dave and I take some time to look at the features of the new device and wonder if it fills the needs of its target market. Dave gives us a tip about giving visitors to your house a QR code to join the WiFi instead of sharing or telling everyone the password.

Episode 376: iPhone 16e, Spotify, Hot Corners There is a lot to talk about this week. I suppose the biggest news is the announcement of the iPhone 16e, a new model of the budget iPhone from Apple. While it may be less expensive than other models in the lineup, it has some impressive specs, including Apple's first cellular modem. : LinkedIn Jobs helps you find the candidates you want to talk to, faster.

375: Mac window, Apple TV, Apple health study, and iPhone SE Dave and I have been running into an issue that we both have when we move a Mac Finder window around the screen. Someone out there knows the answer to why this is happening. The Apple TV is now available on Android, so we discuss if that will increase subscriptions to the service. Apple is launching another health study, one of the areas that the company has excelled i n recent years. The iPhone SE update appears to be right around the corner.

Episode 374: Silent Mode, Apple Invites app, and Super Bowl Ads Dave has been working on the best solution to keep his phone silent but still not miss any important calls. He thinks he has it worked out. Apple released a new app called Invites that is pretty cool. As the name implies, it lets you create invites with shared photo albums and Apple Music Playlists. It may be ten years too late, but still cool. We revisit a favorite topic this time of year, Apple's iconic Super Bowl ads and how things have changed in recent years.
