Rumors continue to go back and forth on whether the iPhone Fold will launch on time, plus there is now a question on if AirPods will get cameras at all. This and more on the AppleInsider Podcast.
Apple is placing an iPhone 17 Pro Max in a time capsule, and presumably when it is opened in 250 years, there will have been a lighter and cheaper Apple Vision Pro. However, rumors suggest Apple might me more focused on AI and glasses instead.
Those glasses might have cameras in them, and that could be a problem if regulators start pushing back against wearable cameras. At the least, rumors suggest that AirPods won't actually get cameras after all.
Back in the present, Siri AI might be good after all. Your hosts discuss how Siri has evolved into its new role as an AI-powered assistant. There is some good, some bad, but the overall judgment is that things have improved.
The show wraps up with some discussion around Apple's services. A specific iCloud+ plan is needed for AI analysis of HomeKit Secure Video, and Apple TV is now upgrading TV shows to 4K for free.
BONUS: Subscribe via Patreon or Apple Podcasts to hear AppleInsider+, the extended edition. This time, the discussion returns to physical versus digital ownership in a world slowly shifting to more digital.
