Overall I enjoy the podcast and appreciate the information. You did miss when calling for AI regulation. AI is international and regulations would only apply to the US, if the US decided to regulate. And as EU regulators prove, regulators often do not have a deep understanding of technology when they try to do that. Any US regulation would be ignored and other country’s AI would likely dominate. I believe if we had regulated the internet at its start we would barely have AOL or Yahoo. We can’t k... more
William G is really cool, 5 stars 😅. No really, great podcast I always enjoy listening
This is a great tech podcast. I feel that Wes is fair and honest in his opinions and really spot on! William and Wes are both informative and I learn something each week.
I have listened to the show for 5 years and always listen as soon as a new episode is posted. As a UK listener, I appreciate the US / UK views which really add to the show for me. The video version is great, although Wesley’s LED light is kind of strange. I hate ads on TV shows, but strangely, I generally like your sponsor ads. Keep up the good work
Genuinely good info and conversations. I listen every Friday on my breaks at Apple. Although we learn so much from the company, it’s nice to hear other perspectives and other insights on things I may not have encountered. I did laugh out loud when you read the other review about William’s audio when he pronounces “s”. Depending on where I’m listening (the car is the worst!) it can slice through the ear. However, those AirPod Pros are marvelous and I have not experienced that anymore….I choose on... more

Two longtime hosts deliver in-depth, opinionated discussions on Apple-focused news, rumors, and ecosystem dynamics, often pairing technical analysis with practical tips for users and developers. Episodes routinely cover product cadence, AI features, pricing, financing, and regulatory angles, with lively banter and strong viewpoints that appeal to listeners who want context beyond headlines. A standout trait is the balance between speculative rumors and concrete hardware/software updates, plus occasional deep dives into OS features and services, all delivered in a conversational, accessible style that rewards regular listening.
