Show notes

This week is really the M1 Ultra Mac Studio of podcasts, as Guy English and James Thomson join Dan and Lex to talk about the latest Mac is, literally, bananas.

Rumor has it a new Mac mini may be on the way, according to the firmware in the Apple Studio Display.

Firmware which, it should be noted, couldn’t be updated for a little while because Apple briefly forgot the Studio Display was a product they were actively selling.

Also, Apple accidentally leaked information about an unreleased power adapter.

Apple employees are now back in the office, and definitely all thrilled to be there.

Elon Musk will not join Twitter’s board after all.

Lex’s car of the future.
