In an article for Bloomberg, Mark Gurman makes the case for an Apple Watch reboot. He’s certainly not wrong, the Apple Watch has been stagnant for years now. Some keen people have found a new URL in the updated code pointing to a new subdomain genai.apple.com. Nothing happens when you click on it, but I’m sure after WWDC, we’ll get to see exactly what it’s for. People have been stealing iPhones since they first came out, but in London, the thieves are also starting to text threats to family members.

Dave just bought his first e-bike so we talk about how the technology and the prices have changed over the past couple of years. WWDC is coming up next week and it is going to be an exciting time. Of course, the biggest news is that Gemini will now be incorporated into all of Apple’s operating systems. We also talk about the privacy issues and what Apple is going to do to avoid sharing customer information with Google.

It was a big week for Apple at WWDC with the relaunch of Apple Intelligence and the long promised revamped Siri. Unfortunately for those in the EU, many of the new AI features shown at WWDC will not be available in Europe due to the laws the EU has implemented. Apple also spent some time previewing its new child protection features, which will roll out in iOS 27. Dave takes a look at some of the newest features in iOS and iPadOS.

Dave finally got Siri AI in the new beta of iPadOS. He gives us some examples of the great, good, and things that need to be worked on and his overall opinion so far of how Siri is working. We also talk about Apple Intelligence and how it works across apps. Dave gives us a good show this week!

Tim Cook announced pretty significant price increases to Apple’s hardware line this week. The increases came because of component shortages that have been happening for the past few months. Apple is moving its Hide My Email feature to its own subdomain, which means that businesses can block all attempts to sign-up for a service by blocking the new subdomain. Seems odd Apple would do this. Dave and I also chat about AI and what could happen with Apple Music.

On this week’s show we talk about the passing of Om Malik, a wonderful man and a friend to many. Dave has some thoughts on the impact of the recent price hikes for Apple hardware and whta it could mean for future products. We still don’t know what willhappen if you replace Siri with Claude in iOS 27, so I asked Claude his understanding. Not as good as I had hoped. There is a Hide My Email bug in Apple software was alerted about last year that allows people to see your real icloud.com email address, but Apple has yet to fix it. For a company that preachers on how important privacy and security is, you would think they’d be all over this. Maybe they’ll get to it next year.

Dave recently bought an M5 MacBook Air before the price hikes took effect. That gives him three MacBook Airs and he talks about the differences he’s found. Dave also has the most recent OS betas installed on several of his devices and we discuss his experiences so far. Everyone knows how expensive it is to live in San Francisco, but things have take a crazy turn in the city that is changing the housing market.

OpenAI is planning to release a new hardware device that will be a movable, screenless speaker built as an AI companion. OpenAI is also fending off a lawsuit from Apple accusing former employees, who now work for OpenAI, of stealing Apple’s trade secrets. AI is also revamping Apple’s plans for how it’s going to release its next set of chips for its devices. AI is demanding more power for every generation of chips. New York has become the first state to impose an AI Data Center ban, citing enormous power usage as one reason.
