New Pride wallpapers, $599 Mac mini goes away, Apple earnings call tidbits

About this episode

The hosts discuss new Pride wallpapers, the discontinuation of the $599 Mac mini, and insights from Apple's earnings call.

Benjamin and Chance give their opinions on the new Pride wallpaper and watch band lineup for 2026, as well as talk about a new watch face supposedly coming with watchOS 27. Also, in our seemingly-recurring segment on Mac desktop supply constraints, Apple stopped selling the $599 Mac mini altogether this week. Also, the company shares some curious tidbits about its future strategy in its first quarterly earnings call to feature incoming CEO John Ternus. And in Happy Hour Plus , Apple loves to talk about the customer satisfaction numbers for its products, but we give our personal takes on how the product lines stack up.
