Five years of Apple Silicon, and ten years of Apple Watch on the AppleInsider Podcast
While we'll never stop looking ahead to what's coming, and never stop looking at what's going on right now, it's also time to look back at how much Apple Silicon and the Apple Watch have meant to us all.
Craig Federighi revealing how Apple Silicon MacBook Pro just switches on the instant you open the lid
It's unbelievable that we've had Apple Silicon for half a decade -- or the Apple Watch for a whole decade. Both were so strongly rumored for so long before they were announced, and both have become enormous successes since. It would be hard to go back to the pre-Apple Silicon days now, and you wouldn't rush to give up your Apple Watch either.
This week has also seen developers accusing Apple of using bug reports to train AI, though, and there's also plenty to say about what's been happening with Apple Intelligence. Plus Apple is being sued -- again -- and this time the reasons for it are a lesson for us all about protecting our iPhones and our data.
Subscribe via Patreon or Apple Podcasts to hear AppleInsider+, the extended edition. This time, when or perhaps how often do we buy technology with the ambition to use it for something new -- and then it just stays in a drawer, forgotten about entirely.
