About this episode

The hosts discuss the installation and performance of iOS 27 beta, Siri AI limitations, MDM issues, client offboarding improvements, and business challenges.

The hosts discuss Jerry installing iOS 27 beta on an iPhone 15 Pro Max and watch, reporting strong stability, snappy performance, and minor reported edge-case crashes, while noting Siri AI requires newer hardware due to RAM constraints and that others find the new Siri improved. Joe shares a fresh issue deploying an MDM configuration profile to disable Siri: users still received "unable to use Siri" prompts because "Listen for 'Hey Siri'" could remain enabled, requiring removing the profile, turning it off locally, and reapplying; Apple Intelligence also wasn't fully disabled. Sam describes improving client offboarding by building a monday.com form that feeds Zendesk tickets, and the group compares running lean teams, using subcontractors and Foundation as pay-as-you-go helpdesk support (including an optional branded phone line). They also cover business uncertainty, tax-law changes affecting S-corps, and handling time-consuming "I've been hacked" client calls. 00:00 Show Kickoff Banter 00:35 iOS 27 Beta First Impressions 01:42 Installing Live and Siri AI Limits 04:40 MDM Glitch Disabling Siri 07:52 Advising Clients on Apple AI 10:16 Offboarding Workflow in Monday 12:25 Solo…
