The Dalrymple Report

Tim Cook announced pretty significant price increases to Apple's hardware line this week. The increases came because of component shortages that have been happening for the past few months. Apple is moving its Hide My Email feature to its own subdomain, which means that businesses can block all attempts to sign-up for a service by blocking the new subdomain. Seems odd Apple would do this. Dave and I also chat about AI and what could happen with Apple Music.

It was a big week for Apple at WWDC with the relaunch of Apple Intelligence and the long promised revamped Siri. Unfortunately for those in the EU, many of the new AI features shown at WWDC will not be available in Europe due to the laws the EU has implemented. Apple spent some time previewing its new child protection features, which will roll out in iOS 27. Dave takes a look at some of the newest features in iOS and iPadOS.

In an article for Bloomberg, Mark Gurman makes the case for an Apple Watch reboot. He's certainly not wrong, the Apple Watch has been stagnant for years now. Some keen people have found a new URL in the updated code pointing to a new subdomain genai.apple.com. Nothing happens when you click on it, but I'm sure after WWDC, we'll get to see exactly what it's for. People have been stealing iPhones since they first came out, but in London, the thieves are also starting to text threats to family members.

If you're any kind of a musician, singer, or anyone else that could be onstage, Dave has a story for you! And a question about the story that was harder to answer than I thought it would be. We talk about the new AirPods Pro With AI Cameras that are apparently in the "advanced testing stages." Do you use Visual Intelligence? We ask ourselves that question too.

Ring had an amazing ad during the Super Bowl that will use its camera network to help find lost dogs. Sounds great, but Dave has a warning about the new service. The Olympics started and Dave and I have been watching all kinds of different sports. It looks like some of the best features of Siri have once again slipped and will not be introduced when Apple said they would. Brought to you by: CleanMyMac: Get Tidy Today!

We all know Siri can be frustrating, but Dave has a story about shoveling snow and trying to use Siri at the same time that had me laughing. I probably should feel bad about it, but it was just too good. More news from Mark Gurman this week on Apple's plans to run their AI efforts using Google's Gemini.

Dave has been taking a CPR course, probably something we all should know how to do, and he tells us a few things he's learned. Apple this week expanded their services business by offering a new Creator Bundle for a monthly subscription. Dave also got the key for his car on his phone and watch, but the experience may not be what you expect it was. Brought to you by: CleanMyMac: Get Tidy Today!
