This is the daily Tech and Business Report. Today, KCBS Radio anchor Holly Quan spoke with Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Apple's new line of iPhones may be a signal of what's to come...but not in a way many people had been thinking.
Marty covers the Space Black color rumor and internal chip bump for the next Apple Vision Pro as reported by Zac Hall at 9to5Mac, relaying Mark Gurman's Bloomberg preview ahead of Apple's September 9 event. Primary SourceApple Vision Pro could soon have a whole new look — Zac Hall, 9to5Mac (Sept 5, 2025)https://9to5mac.com/2025/09/05/apple-vision-pro-2-space-black/ What the reporting says· Apple has tested Space Black as a color option for the next Vision Pro.· Expect a chip upgrade from M2 to a newer generation (M4 or possibly M5) to headline internal changes.· External design shifts may be modest—think Apple Watch Ultra → Ultra 2—though a single head‑strap has also been rumored for comfort.· Apple is exploring a cheaper/lighter headset and even smart glasses over the next two years (per Bloomberg's preview referenced by 9to5Mac). Why this matters· Color as a visible “tell”: a Space Black finish could be the easiest way to spot the new model if most changes are internal.· Performance bump: newer silicon should improve latency, video encode/decode, and multitasking headroom for spatial apps.· Comfort cues: if Apple moves to a single strap, setup friction could drop and long-session stability could improve. What to watch for at/after Sept 9· Any explicit mention of new Vision Pro colorways or retail images that show Space Black hardware.· Release notes or developer guidance hinting at higher default rendering targets or new media pipelines tied to newer chips.· Pricing moves: color alone won't move the $3,499 needle; look for hints about a lower-cost model later on. Quick takeaways· If the look matters to you, waiting for official confirmation could make sense.· If you prefer value, keep an eye on first‑gen promotions/refurbs once the refresh lands.· Expect incremental hardware this round; bigger shifts may come with a lighter/cheaper model or eventual smart glasses.Follow the live stream at YouTube.com/@VisionProfiles on Monday nights at 9 PM EST or catch the video later on Youtube or audio on any pod catcher service Email: ThePodTalkNetwork@gmail.comWebsite: ThePodTalk.Net

Sam Altman is preparing to co-found a new company funded by OpenAI that will go up against Elon Musk's Neuralink, The Financial Post reported. The startup, called Merge Labs, will use AI for its brain-computer interface and compete directly with Neuralink, along with other nascent companies in the field like Precision Neuroscience and Synchron. In other news, Apple is still hard at work on becoming a relevant player in AI. The latest missive from Mark Gurman at Bloomberg suggests that Apple is shifting its artificial intelligence goals to center on new device segments. Sources reportedly told the publication that Apple has a slate of new smart home products in the works that could help pivot its lagging AI strategy; and Amazon is expanding its same-day grocery delivery service with the addition of perishable food items in over 1,000 US cities. Shoppers can now add fresh grocery items like produce, dairy, meat, seafood and frozen foods to their orders. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Apple avait fait sensation en juin dernier en dévoilant Apple Intelligence, sa grande offensive dans l'intelligence artificielle. Une annonce forte, mais avec un grand absent : aucun chatbot maison. La firme de Cupertino semblait vouloir laisser cette tâche à ChatGPT, discrètement intégré à Siri pour répondre aux requêtes générales. À l'époque, Apple jugeait l'intérêt du public limité pour ce genre d'outil, et certains de ses propres ingénieurs en IA se montraient sceptiques.Mais les lignes ont bougé. Face au succès grandissant de ChatGPT, Claude ou encore Gemini, Apple semble revoir sa copie. Selon les révélations du journaliste spécialisé Mark Gurman, un projet d'envergure serait en cours dans les coulisses. Son nom : Answers, Knowledge and Information, ou AKI. L'objectif ? Développer un chatbot capable d'explorer le web et de fournir des réponses précises, à la manière de ses concurrents. Le chantier est mené par Robby Walker, un vétéran de Siri, et pourrait aboutir à une nouvelle application autonome, mais aussi à des intégrations profondes dans Siri, Spotlight et Safari. Apple recrute d'ailleurs activement des spécialistes en recherche algorithmique. Et un possible rachat stratégique dans le secteur de l'IA ne serait pas à exclure dans les mois à venir.Ce virage n'est pas seulement technologique, il est aussi stratégique. Apple reste très dépendante de Google, qui lui verse chaque année près de 20 milliards de dollars pour rester le moteur de recherche par défaut. Mais si la justice américaine impose une renégociation de cet accord, c'est toute une part de croissance qui pourrait vaciller. En clair, développer son propre moteur IA, c'est pour Apple une question de souveraineté. Cela permettrait non seulement de maîtriser sa chaîne de recherche, mais aussi de renforcer ses engagements en matière de confidentialité. Dans un marché de la recherche bousculé par l'IA générative, attendre n'est plus une option. Reste à savoir si la pomme parviendra à rattraper son léger retard… et à imposer sa propre voix intelligente. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we discuss Apple's roadmap for new Vision headsets and smart glasses over the next few years. At the end of June, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo leaked an extensive roadmap of the company's plans for its Vision and smart glasses product lines until the end of the decade. Most recently, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman provided some clarifications about the new Vision Pro that is expected to launch this year. With the information from these two highly reliable sources, we're now expecting Apple to launch five new Vision or smart glasses products by the end of 2028. We discuss our thoughts on each of these devices, how they're likely to fit into Apple's lineup, and how customers may respond. In light of Samsung's announcement of the ultra thin Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 this week, we also touch on Apple's foldable iPhone plans.
On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we take a rumor report card-style look back at some of the biggest rumors surrounding WWDC 2025, what was predicted correctly, and what missed the mark. Subscribe to The MacRumors Show YouTube channel for more videos One of the more surprising claims ahead of WWDC 2025 was the idea that iOS 26 would bring Stage Manager to iPhoneswith a USB-C port. No such feature was announced. The idea may have stemmed from broader expectations about Apple bringing pro features to more devices—but this prediction turned out to be entirely off-base. Another rumor that didn't pan out involved the long-rumored homeOS platform. A wave of trademark filings hinted Apple might introduce a new smart home operating system. Although the filings were real and still might relate to future products, nothing resembling homeOS or a new smart home hub was mentioned at WWDC 2025. It's a good reminder that trademark activity doesn't always align with event timelines. A few reports landed somewhere in the middle. Jon Prosser's Front Page Tech videos were largely accurate—he correctly revealed many of the iOS 26 Liquid Design changes, such as the floating tab bar and a broader translucent interface. However, his claim that app icons would become circular wasn't correct. Similarly, @MajinBuOfficial made an accurate call about iPadOS 26 adopting a Mac-like menu bar at the top of the screen—a change that did appear. But the leaker's suggestion that this menu bar would only show up when using a Magic Keyboard didn't turn out to be true. Some reports, such as 9to5Mac's predictions that the Messages app would gain pollsand a full-screen album artwork mode for music on the Lock Screen, were also correct. Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman's reporting ahead of WWDC 2025 was comprehensive and overwhelmingly accurate. He revealed the new naming convention for iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS 26, as well as major design changes like the Liquid Glass aesthetic. He also nailed reports on Mac-like enhancements to iPadOS, expanded Phone and Messages features, and the arrival of new stock apps like Games and Preview on iOS 26. Even advanced capabilities like live translation of calls and texts were part of his pre-event reporting. In hindsight, WWDC 2025 was a good year for Apple rumors, especially from reputable sources. But it was also a reminder that not every prediction—no matter how well-sourced—makes it onto Apple's keynote stage. Take control of your finances with Copilot Money.

Apple’s AI ambitions hit a major speed bump at WWDC this year. From last-minute delays on Siri features to Mark Gurman’s revelations about internal alarm bells, this episode takes you behind the scenes of Apple’s AI crisis. We’ll break down how Craig Federighi’s hands-on testing exposed critical flaws and why Apple’s lean investment strategy may have backfired. The conversation reveals how internal decisions, such as delaying AI feature rollouts by a full year, signaled a broader leadership disconnect within the company. Federighi’s own tests showed a startling disparity between what was promised and what was actually working. That gap in execution has placed Apple behind rivals like Google and OpenAI. What role does Tim Cook play in this? As the CEO, his direction - or lack thereof - has now come under scrutiny. The podcast unpacks how executive decisions from the top have rippled across departments, affecting everything from product timelines to public trust. Apple's frugal approach, while often seen as financially prudent, may have hindered critical innovation. We also dive into what Apple’s AI roadmap must look like to stay competitive. From launching a working Siri upgrade to developing a true chatbot under the internal codename "Knowledge," Apple needs a foundational reboot in how it views and builds AI experiences. Failure to act swiftly could result in a loss of consumer and developer confidence. Whether you’re a tech enthusiast, Apple watcher, or concerned investor, this episode sheds light on the high-stakes decisions shaping Apple’s future in AI. With clear takeaways and expert insights, it’s your best guide to understanding how Apple can, and must, course-correct.Support the show: http://youtube.com/gearlive/joinSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
OpenAI's Sam Altman drops o3-Pro & sees “The Gentle Singularity”, Ilya Sutskever prepares for super intelligence & Mark Zuckerberg is spending MEGA bucks on AI talent. WHAT GIVES? All of the major AI companies are not only preparing for AGI but for true “super intelligence” which is on the way, at least according to *them*. What does that mean for us? And how do we exactly prepare for it? Also, Apple's WWDC is a big AI letdown, Eleven Labs' new V3 model is AMAZING, Midjourney got sued and, oh yeah, those weird 1X Robotics androids are back and running through grassy fields.

On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we talk through Apple's plan to introduce a complete overhaul of the design and naming system for its operating systems at its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). Despite the ongoing focus in the industry on generative artificial intelligence, Apple is reportedly planning to debut a complete visual redesign of its platforms as "the highlight of the show" at WWDC. The updated design language includes translucent interface elements and menus that echo the visual style of visionOS. While the new design was rumored for iOS 19, iPadOS 19, and macOS 16, it is now expected to extend to tvOS 19 and watchOS 12 too. The changes mark the most comprehensive cross-platform visual update since the introduction of iOS 7 in 2013. Apple is also apparently shifting its software versioning system from sequential numbers to a year-based format, similar to how car manufacturers label vehicle model years. Instead of releasing iOS 19 and macOS 16, Apple will debut iOS 26and macOS 26, along with iPadOS 26, tvOS 26, watchOS 26, and visionOS 26. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports that this change is intended to reduce confusion for users and developers by aligning version numbers across platforms and matching them to the upcoming calendar year. In addition to these design and branding changes, Apple is said to be developing a new standalone gaming app that will be introduced at WWDC. The app is intended to replace Game Center and will offer a unified platform for launching games, tracking achievements, social features, viewing leaderboards, and accessing editorial content. The app is purportedly designed to support both Apple Arcade titles and third-party games currently distributed through the App Store. On macOS, the app will also be able to detect and organize games installed outside the Mac App Store. The gaming app represents Apple's most overt emphasis on gaming infrastructure since the launch of Apple Arcade in 2019. While Apple has historically treated Game Center as a background service rather than a user-facing platform, this new app appears to be aimed at making game discovery and engagement more prominent across devices.
¿iOS 26? ¿En serio, Apple? Mark Gurman acaba de revelar que Apple planea saltar directamente a iOS 26, abandonando la numeración tradicional por un sistema basado en años. Pero, ¿es esto realmente revolucionario o simplemente el próximo capítulo en 48 años de cambios constantes de naming? En este episodio hacemos un recorrido exhaustivo por la historia completa del naming de Apple, desde el Apple I de 1976 hasta el presente. Descubrirás por qué Apple III fue un fracaso que cambió todo, cómo System Software se convirtió en Mac OS por culpa de los clones, por qué se quedaron sin nombres de felinos, y las verdaderas razones detrás de cada cambio de estrategia. Analizamos también el caos del naming del hardware: Power Macintosh, iMac, PowerBook, MacBook, y por supuesto, la montaña rusa numerológica del iPhone que nos llevó del iPhone 8 al iPhone X saltándose el 9, para luego volver a los números con el 11, 12, 13... hasta llegar al actual iPhone 16e. ¿Es iOS 26 una evolución natural o simplemente otro experimento más en la larga historia de inconsistencias de Apple? Te damos todos los datos históricos para que seas tú quien saque las conclusiones.

In the second episode of Bloomberg BusinessWeek’s new podcast Everybody’s Business, Max Chafkin and Stacey Vanek Smith talk market turmoil. The stock market has been on a wild ride ever since the Trump Administration put sweeping tariffs in place, but it was trouble in the bond market that seemed to get the President’s attention and inspire the White House to hit pause on the tariffs. Tracy Alloway of the Odd Lots podcast joins to help explain. And what does a big, global company like Apple do in a protectionist world? Mark Gurman, Bloomberg’s Chief Correspondent covering consumer technology, explains why the tariff announcement has hit Apple’s stock especially hard and how much you can expect the price of your iPhone to rise. Finally, have scientists unearthed an ancient howl? Stacey is blown away while Max is (unsurprisingly) skeptical.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
