The Dalrymple Report

If you're any kind of a musician, singer, or anyone else that could be onstage, Dave has a story for you! And a question about the story that was harder to answer than I thought it would be. We talk about the new AirPods Pro With AI Cameras that are apparently in the "advanced testing stages." Do you use Visual Intelligence? We ask ourselves that question too.

Perhaps one of the best Apple Intelligence decisions I've ever heard, the company announced this week that users will be able to swap Apple's AI model to a rival's to control the new AI system. That means you could use Claude or Gemini or another company that wants to have theirs available. Dave and I also talk about Apple's decision to show advertising on Maps. A disappointing choice for a company that ridiculed Google for its advertising efforts to customers and saying Apple doesn't treat its customers like the product.

Have you ever wanted to reset your keyboard dictionary? Dave shows you how, but it's a bit scary to press the buttons. We also look at the pipeline of products that John Ternus will be released under his tenure as CEO. Many of the products, we've already heard about but they couldn't be released because the software wasn't ready. Others are new categories. There are reports that Apple has given up on the Vision Pro after a lukewarm response.
