The Dalrymple Report

I've had my iPhone Duo for almost a week now, so Dave and I spend some time taking about my thoughts using the device, some of great features, and generally my thoughts on Apple's new product. We also look at Mark Gurman's story about CEO John Ternus having a talk with Craig Federighi about the company being so far behind in AI.

One of the most popular Macs Apple has released lately is the MacBook Neo and a new version is coming. There is a feature on the Apple Watch that I never knew existed until speaking with Dave on the show and it looks like it'll be something I like. IT's time for the Samsung mocking to begin. They have released ads mocking the iPhone Duo and the cracked displays. It's just like them to jump on something like this, it's happened before. It doesn't seem to have dampened the enthusiasm for the Duo.

We've entire shows based on new product releases for most of this fall—this week is no different. This week Apple released its touch MacBook Pro 14-inch and 16-inch computers. They also released two non-touch MacBook PRos, also 14-inch and 16-inch models. In addition, the company updated its iMac, and it's only non-Mac hardware piece, the iPad mini.

Dave and I are back after a few weeks vacation and there is a lot to talk about. Apple released a slew of new products from the HomeView to products for the home including cameras and doorbells. We also got some help from a listener on how to fix the annoying "can't set a timer on the Apple Watch" error I was getting all the time. Thanks Matt!

It's an interesting show as we look at a few strange topics, including how AI is shutting down some refrigerators. We also talked about Muse, Meta's AI tool that we really haven't talked about before. It's coming onto the scene very fast, and Meta may have some products that could change things significantly. Dave fills us in on Apple's "prepare to ship" feature for the iPhone 18 Pro Max.
