March Apple event week kicks off with iPhone 17e and M4 iPad Air

9to5Mac Happy Hour

About

Benjamin and Chance discuss the just-announced iPhone 17e and M4 iPad Air, as Apple begins its week of product launches. As well as bit of speculation about what is to come on Tuesday and Wednesday, the duo also respond to a report about the dysfunctional nature of Apple’s cloud infrastructure division, and look forward to the start of F1 on Apple TV this weekend.
