About
Benjamin and Chance talk about the crazy leak by Apple depicting the new AirPods with cameras in a video demo, the changes in iOS 27 beta 6, their latest experiences with Siri AI, whether iPhone 18 Pro will fit iPhone 17 Pro cases, and perhaps some final resolution in the Apple vs EU App Store commission battle.
And in Happy Hour Plus, Benjamin talks about some of the leaks for the upcoming HomePod with a screen. Subscribe at 9to5mac.com/join.
