The Dalrymple Report

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.

One of the amazing things about the new iPhone 18 Pro is that they have a little bit of water in them. That helps cool the A20 chip when it gets hot. The iPhone Duo is amazing device and it will be very popular on preorder day. However, there are certain things the Duo's cameras can't do that the Pros can. Dave and I take a look at those to see if any of them are deal breakers. We continue our talk about iOS 27 with some of the good and the bad.
