iOS 27 bill splitting, new hardware waiting on new Siri, final WWDC expectations

About this episode

Benjamin and Chance discuss iOS 27 rumors, new hardware, and final expectations for WWDC.

Benjamin and Chance talk about the late-breaking iOS 27 rumors, including a new bill splitting feature for the Wallet app, as well as give their final expectations for next week’s WWDC announcements. Apple fixes Mayo’s iPhone Air battery glitch, and new Apple TV and HomePod models are apparently in the final testing stage. Also, code references reignite ideas about new cheaper (or free) tiers of Apple Music. And in Happy Hour Plus , on the eve of iOS 27, we give our 1 year retrospective on how iOS 26 has fared in the wild. Subscribe at 9to5mac.com/join .
