Apple's MacBook Neo is selling much better than the company thought, which has caused a delimena it must now work through. IT would seem from the rumors that the foldable iPhone is a thing, but what should Apple name such a product? The Apple Stores are not the experience they used to be and Apple is closing a few of the retail stores.

Apple has finally updated the AirPods Pro Max, but the update didn't bring a lot of new features, it basically brought the headphones on pair with the AirPods Pro. Dave and I talk about AI and whether Apple chose to stay out of the spending spree or if it was caught unprepared for one of the biggest tech changes in a long time. Do you know what could be in the figs you love to eat? Me neither, but Dave tells us.
