The MacVoices Live! panel examine Apple's quarterly earnings, the continuing importance of Services revenue, and what John Ternus' presence on Apple's earnings call may indicate about Apple's future leadership transition. Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Eric Bolden, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Marty Jencius, and Jeff Gamet discuss the Apple Vision Pro and the newest wave of “Vision Pro is doomed” commentary. They argue that Vision Pro should be viewed as an early-stage platform product that still needs more time, more content, more developer support, and a larger installed base before its long-term value can be fairly judged.

The MacVoices Live! panel examine Apple's quarterly earnings, the continuing importance of Services revenue, and what John Ternus' presence on Apple's earnings call may indicate about Apple's future leadership transition. Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Eric Bolden, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Marty Jencius, and Jeff Gamet discuss the Apple Vision Pro and the newest wave of "Vision Pro is doomed" commentary. They argue that Vision Pro should be viewed as an early-stage platform product that still needs more time, more content, more developer support, and a larger installed base before its long-term value can be fairly judged.

Jeff Carlson discusses the pros and cons of third-party iPhone photography accessories, from grips and cages to ND filters and lenses. While these tools can enhance control, ergonomics, and video quality, they often add complexity that detracts from the iPhone's simplicity. He also highlights new iPhone features, including improved selfie cameras, AirPods as shutter triggers and microphones, and practical shooting tips that expand creative possibilities. Details on all this and more can be found in his new Take Control of iPhone Photography. (Part 3) CleanMyMac from MacPaw. Get Tidy Today!

En este episodio del iSenaCode Live, analizamos algunas de las noticias tecnológicas más interesantes del momento y lo que significan para el futuro del ecosistema Apple y la inteligencia artificial.Comenzamos hablando de los siete nuevos productos que Apple ha lanzado recientemente y las primeras impresiones que están dejando en la industria. También comentamos el impacto del nuevo MacBook Neo, que según algunos ejecutivos del sector PC está causando auténtico “shock” por su propuesta, aunque también analizamos las críticas sobre la velocidad de su SSD frente a los MacBook Pro.Entramos después en uno de los rumores más intrigantes del momento: el iPhone plegable. Comentamos por qué Apple habría rechazado un diseño tipo concha y las filtraciones que apuntan a un iPhone Fold con multitarea al estilo iPad, algo que podría cambiar completamente la forma en la que usamos el iPhone.También repasamos novedades del ecosistema Sonos, con nuevos altavoces compatibles con AirPlay 2, y debatimos sobre cómo encajan en un setup Apple moderno.En la parte de inteligencia artificial, analizamos varias noticias importantes: el nuevo GPT-5.4 y su avance hacia agentes autónomos, la sorprendente demanda de Anthropic contra el Departamento de Defensa, y las polémicas sobre las gafas de IA de Meta y el tratamiento de datos sensibles.“La mejor forma de predecir el futuro es construirlo.” — Alan Kay
