¿Está Apple volviendo a sus raíces? En este video analizamos el terremoto interno que está sacudiendo Cupertino a inicios de 2026. La reciente incorporación de Sebastiaan de With (el genio detrás de la app Halide) al equipo de Human Interface es solo la punta del iceberg de un cambio mucho más profundo. Tras la salida de Alan Dye hacia Meta y el ascenso de Stephen Lemay —un veterano de la era de Steve Jobs conocido internamente como "Margaret"—, Apple parece decidida a abandonar la complejidad visual para recuperar la simplicidad funcional que la hizo legendaria. El Fichaje Estrella: Por qué la llegada de Sebastiaan de With es vital para el futuro de la fotografía y la interfaz pro en el iPhone. La Vieja Guardia al Poder: Quién es Stephen Lemay y por qué su liderazgo emociona a los puristas del diseño de Apple. El Factor John Ternus: Analizamos cómo el jefe de hardware ha tomado el control total del diseño de software y hardware, consolidándose como el heredero indiscutible de Tim Cook para el puesto de CEO. Adiós al Liquid Glass: ¿Es este el fin de las interfaces confusas? ¿Veremos una nueva época dorada del diseño o es solo una estrategia de sucesión? ¡Déjanos tu opinión en los comentarios! #Apple2026 #JohnTernus #SebastiaanDeWith #AppleDesign #SteveJobsLegacy #TechNews #iPhoneUI #AppleCEO #Innovacion #Cupertino https://seoxan.es/crear_pedido_hosting Codigo Cupon "APPLE" PATROCINADO POR SEOXAN Optimización SEO profesional para tu negocio https://seoxan.es https://uptime.urtix.es PARTICIPA EN DIRECTO Deja tu opinión en los comentarios, haz preguntas y sé parte de la charla más importante sobre el futuro del iPad y del ecosistema Apple. ¡Tu voz cuenta! ¿TE GUSTÓ EL EPISODIO? ✨ Dale LIKE SUSCRÍBETE y activa la campanita para no perderte nada COMENTA COMPARTE con tus amigos applelianos SÍGUENOS EN TODAS NUESTRAS PLATAFORMAS: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Applelianos Telegram: https://t.me/+Jm8IE4n3xtI2Zjdk X (Twitter): https://x.com/ApplelianosPod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/applelianos Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/39QoPbO

Happy Thursday, you pop culture junkies.  This week, the world feels heavy. Brooke opens the show by acknowledging the heartache coming out of Minneapolis and sets the stage for why, right now, we all need a brief, necessary escape. We're taking a deep breath and diving into the distractions that are keeping us afloat.   In this episode: • The Beckham Saga Continues: We are back on the Beckham beat. Brooke breaks down the incredible memes surrounding Victoria Beckham dancing at her son's wedding. Is Posh Spice the relatable icon we didn't know we needed? • The Dr Pepper Miracle: We discuss the power of TikTok and the creator who created a viral jingle that became a national ad campaign. Proof that posting your drafts actually pays off. • The Drama & The Random: A quick touch on the Blake Lively / Taylor Swift chatter, followed by a chaotic roundup of things living in Brooke's brain: exploding trees, Mamdani, Heated Rivalry, and yes... Lego Crocs. • Harry's House in NYC: Harry Styles is doing 30 nights in New York City. We process the logistics, the stamina, and the absolute hysteria. • A Final Word: Shame on you, Tim Cook. Just... shame.   This week's newsletter: https://popculturemondays.com/2026/01/26/%F0%9F%92%94-in-minneapolis/ The Daily episode on Pretti shooting: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0Y7GCHmt2SkaLptlDav51N?si=0TRwj94zSJee8kjencOZag  

Apple's (AAPL) "bar is high because Tim Cook put it up there" for earnings, says Marley Kayden. She explains how Apple is setting the stage for its report after the close on Thursday for a widely-expected beat. While the company's iPhone ecosystem remains a hot topic, Marley adds that the AI focus stays strong with Apple expected to integrate Alphabet's (GOOGL) Google Gemini next month.

Don Nesbitt talks about how Apple (AAPL) faces a critical earnings test as investors weigh the growth of its high-margin services segment against the hardware dominance of the iPhone. While Western Digital (WDC) and other suppliers benefit from data center demand, Apple must navigate these input costs alongside a complex regulatory environment. The discussion also focuses on the company's competitive standing against Huawei in China and the potential impact of tariffs on the bottom line. Don examines how the relationship between CEO Tim Cook and the Trump administration might mitigate trade headwinds in the U.S. market.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

The future may not be knowable, but it is inventable—and it belongs to those who dare to imagine what's possible.”Managing Directors: 5 dudes (3 stanford; 3 harvard)Founder Vinod Khosla: “I agree with @EthanChoi7. Macho ICE vigilantes running amuck empowered by a conscious-less administration. The video was sickening to watch and the storytelling without facts or with invented fictitious facts by authorities almost unimaginable in a civilized society. ICE personnel must have ice water running thru their veins to treat other human beings this way. There is politics but humanity should transcend that”Target's incoming CEO Michael Fiddelke in a video message sent to employees (January 26, 2026): “Right now, as someone who is raising a family here in the Twin Cities and as a leader of this hometown company I want to acknowledge where we are. The violence and loss of life in our community is incredibly painful. I know it's weighing heavily on many of you across the country, as it is with me. What's happening affects us not just as a company but as people, as neighbors, friends and family members.”A company spokesman declined to comment. Still nothing official on website.Lloyd Vogel, CEO Garage Grown Gear: said he felt compelled to condemn the shootings in a LinkedIn post because he lives and works in the Twin Cities. "My primary rationale was to show solidarity with my community," he told Business Insider. "It's also just bad for business when people are afraid to leave their homes.""There's so much fear in Minnesota right now," he said. "It would just be cowardice to not have a perspective on this."JPMorgan Chase CEO and Chair Jamie Dimon 1/22/26 Davos): ″I don't like what I'm seeing, five grown men beating up a little old lady. So I think we should calm down a little bit on the internal anger about immigration… We need these people. They work in our hospitals and hotels and restaurants and agriculture, and they're good people.… They should be treated that way.”On Saturday evening (1/24/2026), top technology executives gathered in Washington to attend a screening of “Melania,” a documentary produced by Amazon about the first lady, Melania Trump. Black-tie event: guests were handed monogrammed buckets of popcorn, framed screening tickets for their trophy shelves, and a limited-edition copy of Trump's 2024 book of the same title as her documentary, “Melania.“Among them was Andy Jassy, the chief executive of Amazon; Tim Cook, the chief executive of Apple; and Lisa Su, the chief executive of chip maker AMD.Also: Eric Yuan – CEO, Zoom; Lynn Martin – President, New York Stock Exchange; General Electric CEO Larry CulpApple CEO Tim Cook says it's 'time for de-escalation' in MinneapolisCook came under fire for appearing at The White House just hours after federal immigration authorities killed Alex Pretti, a veterans' nurse, in Minnesota“This is a time for de-escalation,” Cook wrote to Apple staff. “I believe America is strongest when we live up to our highest ideals, when we treat everyone with dignity and respect no matter who they are or where they're from, and when we embrace our shared humanity.”Cook said he “had a good conversation with the president this week where I shared my views, and I appreciate his openness to engaging on issues that matter to us all." Apple's Cook says he's ‘heartbroken' by Minneapolis events and has spoken with TrumpOpen AI CEO Sam Altman (1/27/26): I love the US and its values of democracy and freedom and will be supportive of the country however I can; OpenAI will too. But part of loving the country is the American duty to push back against overreach. What's happening with ICE is going too far. There is a big difference between deporting violent criminals and what's happening now, and we need to get the distinction right. President Trump is a very strong leader, and I hope he will rise to this moment and unite the country. I am encouraged by the last few hours of response and hope to see trust rebuilt with transparent investigations. As a company, we aim to stick to our convictions and not get blown around by changing fashions too much. We didn't become super woke when that was popular, we didn't start talking about masculine corporate energy when that was popular, and we are not going to make a lot of performative statements now about safety or politics or anything else. But we are going to continue to try to figure out how to actually do the right thing as best as we can, engage with leaders and push for our values, and speak up clearly about it as needed.James Dyett, Global Business at OpenAI: “There is far more outrage from tech leaders over a wealth tax than masked ICE agents terrorizing communities and executing civilians in the streets. Tells you what you need to know about the values of our industry.”Angel Investor Jason Calacanis: Once again, I will remind everyone that our leaders are failing us. True leadership would be to calm this situation down by telling these non-peaceful protestors to stay home while recalling these inadequately-trained agents.”Jeff Dean, Chief Scientist, Google DeepMind & Google Research. Gemini Lead: “This is absolutely shameful. Agents of a federal agency unnecessarily escalating, and then executing a defenseless citizen whose offense appears to be using his cell phone camera. Every person regardless of political affiliation should be denouncing this.”Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, senior associate dean for leadership studies at the Yale School of Management: "CEOs are feeling the community pressure." He said that reactions that convey sorrow and don't mention Trump or ICE are likely to be perceived as an unwelcome challenge to the White House's immigration agenda. "That is not what the Trump administration wanted," he said.Business Roundtable CEO Joshua Bolten asked to comment on the chaos in Minneapolis: replied with a statement endorsing the Minnesota Chamber's call for "cooperation between state, local, and federal authorities to immediately de-escalate the situation in Minneapolis."Robert Pasin, CEO of toy company Radio Flyer: recently shared an email on LinkedIn that he sent to his employees that was critical of the shootings in Minneapolis: "I am deeply concerned about the current state of our democracy, and the continued actions we are seeing from President Trump and his administration that are intended to undermine democratic institutions, the rule of law, and the norms that hold our country together."Dario Amodei, CEO Anthropic: called the events in Minnesota a “horror” on Monday. An Anthropic spokeswoman said the company did not have contracts with ICE.ICEout.tech statement from January 24, 2026: "We condemn the Border Patrol's killing of Alex Pretti and the violent surge of federal agents across our cities. The wanton brutality we've seen from ICE and CBP has removed any credibility that these actions are about immigration enforcement. Their goal is terror, cruelty, and suppression of dissent. This must end. Tech professionals are speaking up against this brutality, and we call on all our colleagues who share our values to use their voice. We know our industry leaders have leverage: in October, they persuaded Trump to call off a planned ICE surge in San Francisco, and big tech CEOs are in the White House tonight. Now they need to go further, and join us in demanding ICE out of all of our cities." 811: 508 names; 19 one name with title, 284 role onlyReid Hoffman says business leaders are wrong to stay silent about the Trump administrationThe LinkedIn cofounder and tech investor said in an episode of the "Rapid Response" podcast published Tuesday that he rejects the idea that executives can simply wait out political turbulence: "The theory that if you just keep your mouth shut, the storm will blow over and it won't be a problem — you should be disabused of that theory now," Hoffman said.Palantir Defends Work With ICE to Staff Following Killing of Alex Pretti: Leadership defended its work as in part improving “ICE's operational effectiveness.”

Clairo by El Michels AffairSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jeff Bezos's Amazon MGM Studios is due to release its feature-length documentary about Melania Trump, directed by Brett Ratner, a formerly exiled film-maker who was accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women. The documentary was screened at a promotional event inside the White House, attended by what the Hollywood Reporter describes as ‘70 assorted VIPs', including Amazon's Andy Jassy, Apple's Tim Cook and the former boxer Mike Tyson. Bezos bought the rights to the film for $40m (£30m) and spent a further $35m on a global marketing push – but so far, ticket sales are reportedly ‘soft' as it prepares to screen in more than 100 UK cinemas.

Way Too Little, Far Too Late: Power, Blood, and Corporate Cowardice | The Karel Show Now they want investigations. Now they want resignations. Now — after the damage is done. As Bovino is reportedly pushed back to the border and toward a quiet retirement, Republicans are suddenly calling for accountability and privately urging Kristi Noem to step down. Why the sudden concern? Because they smell blood in the water ahead of the midterms — and they're trying to save themselves. It won't work. They waited too long. Two people are dead. The videos are clear. And no one has been prosecuted for what appear to be killings carried out under the direction — and encouragement — of an out-of-control President and his inner circle. This isn't politics. It's responsibility — and it's being dodged in real time. Then there's Apple. I've been an Apple user since the Lisa. I literally have an Apple tattoo. But watching Tim Cook hand Trump a trophy — and then attend a Melania movie premiere at the White House — raises a serious question: does Apple's leadership still understand its own users, values, or audience? Because right now, it looks like moral surrender dressed up as neutrality. Plus: • Alex Honnold climbs a skyscraper without a rope • Netflix pays for it — and profits from it • Should this kind of extreme risk be encouraged, monetized, and broadcast? This episode asks a simple question that applies to politics, corporations, and media alike: When accountability finally arrives, why is it always too little — and far too late? The Karel Show is live Monday–Thursday at 10:30am PST, streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart, Spreaker, and more — and simulcast on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for January 26, 2026. 0:30 Why is Minneapolis ground zero for violent ICE protests—and who’s really behind the chaos? We dig into the disturbing pattern surrounding immigration enforcement in Minnesota, questioning why ICE operations there are met with coordinated resistance, political cover, and organized activism. From elected officials aiding protesters, to claims of Signal chats, doxxing of ICE agents, and staged protest infrastructure, we explore whether this is spontaneous outrage or something far more deliberate. We also examine the tragic death of an ICU nurse, the role of misinformation, and the dangerous line between lawful protest and outright anarchy—raising serious questions about accountability, the rule of law, and whether the Department of Justice is failing to act as chaos escalates. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. Over the weekend, a protestor in Minnesota was shot and killed while struggling with ICE officers. Democrats are threatening another government shutdown this week. Long time Democrat Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton has decided to not run for reelection to Congress. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 We unpack the latest example of our “outrage culture” as Apple CEO Tim Cook faces backlash for attending a private White House screening of a Melania Trump documentary. We explore why a simple appearance at a first lady’s event has sparked controversy, questioning whether the public is punishing respect for the office itself rather than political affiliation. From comparisons to similar events with Jill Biden and Michelle Obama, to the dangers of social media mobs dictating every decision by powerful figures, the conversation delves into how this culture of coercion threatens leadership, freedom of association, and the ability to navigate public life without fear of constant vilification. 16:00 What do you do when your liberal friends start posting things online that just aren’t true? American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle the growing frustration many conservatives feel watching social media melt down over politics, protests, and ICE enforcement. From viral misinformation and “MAGA silence” bait posts to claims of engineered chaos in Minneapolis, the conversation dives into how outrage culture, mainstream media narratives, and online activism are fueling division. The American Mamas share why they often choose to scroll instead of engage, how disinformation spreads through friend groups, and why social media has become less about truth and more about manufacturing conflict. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 We react to a Florida anesthesiologist who publicly declared he would refuse to treat Trump supporters, sparking outrage over ethics, morality, and the Hippocratic oath. We break down why targeting patients based on politics is not only cruel but morally depraved, and why the trust society places in doctors makes this behavior especially dangerous. From the obligation to treat all patients, even violent offenders, to historical examples of professionalism in medicine, we explore the chilling consequences when political bias overrides care—and why the Florida Attorney General is now stepping in. 26:00 We respond to a listener email claiming ICE is “hunting” hardworking immigrants, sparking a deep dive into immigration, the rule of law, and the American Dream. We break down why enforcing immigration laws is about protecting trust and fairness, not targeting hardworking people, and why legal compliance matters from the first step onward. The conversation also challenges common claims about white privilege, explores the history of immigrant contributions, and emphasizes the importance of due process, responsibility, and respecting the laws that make America prosperous. 32:00 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We dive into a landmark legal battle in California, where a 19-year-old claims platforms like Meta, TikTok, and YouTube fueled a youth mental health crisis through addictive design features. We question whether social media companies should be held responsible for users’ depression or suicidal thoughts—or if personal responsibility still matters in a free society. Using humorous comparisons to chocolate, alcohol, and TV, the conversation explores the fine line between business design, human choice, and accountability in the age of endless scrolling. 36:00 A new poll reveals a surprising bipartisan consensus: Americans overwhelmingly believe securing access to foreign oil and energy is crucial for the U.S. economy. We break down the numbers—69% of Americans across party lines agree on the importance of energy security—and explore why energy independence is synonymous with economic independence. From protecting jobs to reducing reliance on foreign powers, the conversation highlights how access to reliable oil isn’t just about fuel—it’s about controlling America’s future. 39:30 We take on the heated debate over Second Amendment rights and federal law enforcement after the fatal shooting of ICU nurse Alex Pretti by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis. We examine how Democrats are using language to argue that the Second Amendment doesn’t protect firearm carry at protests, even as official narratives clash with video evidence and eyewitness accounts about what really happened that day. 41:30 And we finish off today's show with not one but two love stories that unfolded on the set of Stranger Things. Follow us: americangroundradio.com Facebook: facebook.com / AmericanGroundRadio Instagram: instagram.com/americangroundradioSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Trump administration's version of the Stasi murdered Alex Pretti in cold blood because he was exercising his First Amendment right to peacefully assemble and his Second Amendment right to carry a licensed firearm. But in MAGA land, those rights only apply to the people on their side, not all Americans. The few Republicans who are starting to feel queasy about menacing agents running around our cities should also recognize that they are complicit in the killings of Pretti and Renee Good because they funded them. As for the Dems, they should be considering maximalist demands—like ending the occupation of the Twin Cities—since the serial liars in the administration are acting like they're above the law. Plus, Tim Cook and the other CEOs who helped fund the golden ballroom or showed up to the “Melania” screening Saturday night are also complicitBill Kristol joins Tim Miller.show notes Subscribe to "Bulwark Takes" for breaking news and weekend coverage Monday's "Morning Shots" For a limited time, save up to $300 on the Tovala smart oven when you order meals 6+ times, by visiting Tovala.com/BULWARK and using code BULWARK.

Analizamos en profundidad los rumores en torno a "Campus", el nombre en clave de un nuevo proyecto de inteligencia artificial de Apple que apunta a una evolución mayor de Siri. Explicamos que, a diferencia de las mejoras esperadas para esta primavera, este desarrollo buscaría transformar al asistente en un chatbot más avanzado al estilo de ChatGPT, posiblemente apoyándose en la infraestructura de Google y con un lanzamiento estimado para iOS 27 o finales de 2026. Debatimos sobre la estrategia de mantener dos versiones de la asistente y la posibilidad de que esta nueva herramienta llegue inicialmente como una aplicación independiente.También examinamos las filtraciones de The Information sobre un posible dispositivo corporal de Apple, descrito como un pin o accesorio similar a la propuesta de Humane, y mostramos nuestro escepticismo sobre su viabilidad comercial frente a las gafas inteligentes o el propio iPhone. En el ámbito corporativo, comentamos los movimientos internos que sugieren el inicio de la sucesión de Tim Cook, destacando el ascenso de responsabilidades de John Ternus y teorizando sobre una transición tranquila, quizás mediante un modelo de co-liderazgo, de cara al 50 aniversario de la compañía.Por último, abordamos los cambios polémicos en la App Store, criticando la decisión de difuminar la distinción visual de los resultados patrocinados y analizando cómo la programación asistida por IA está saturando la tienda con miles de nuevas aplicaciones. Cerramos el episodio repasando el cambio de socio bancario para la Apple Card, que pasará de Goldman Sachs a Chase, las complejidades de este mercado financiero en Estados Unidos y las recientes nominaciones a los Oscar obtenidas por las producciones de Apple TV+.

Patrick McGee, the Financial Times San Francisco correspondent, covers Apple and the U.S. technology industry. His book, Apple in China: The Capture of the World's Greatest Company is a brilliant read. In this podcast he explains how Apple became deeply tied to China's factories, workers and politics and why that relationship still defines the company today. He also discusses the roles of Steve Jobs, Jony Ive, Tim Cook and others in shaping Apple's culture while revealing how design, operations and manufacturing came together to create some of the most influential products of our time.

The latest In Touch With iOS with Dave is joined by Jill McKinley,Jeff Gamet, Eric Bolden, Marty Jencius, Guy Serle. The discussion spans the latest Vision Pro beta updates and immersive NBA experiences to rumors of new M5 MacBook Pros and significant leadership shifts at Apple. The team also tackles critical security news, including a major data breach at a manufacturing partner and new anti-phishing features from 1Password.

The episode covers a wide range of topics from hardware shortages and software betas to major security breaches and executive transitions. The panel discusses the recent Vision Pro beta releases, noting that while the updates are relatively minor, they significantly improve connectivity with game controllers. Looking ahead, Apple Arcade is set to launch a "Retrocade" on February 5th, bringing 3D immersive versions of classics like Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and Asteroids to the headset. The team also reviews the recent immersive Lakers NBA game, sharing mixed feelings about the audio quality and app stability, but ultimately expressing excitement for the future of sports in VR. Current MacBook Pro stock is reportedly thinning, with wait times stretching into March. This has fueled speculation about an imminent release of M5 Pro and M5 Max models. The panel debates whether users should upgrade now or wait for the rumored M6, while also considering how NVIDIA's priority at TSMC for AI chips might be impacting Apple's supply chain. The discussion takes a serious turn regarding a massive 1TB data breach at Apple manufacturing partner Luxshare. The stolen data allegedly includes confidential product designs and engineering documents from 2019 through 2025, raising concerns about reverse engineering and hardware vulnerabilities. On the software side, 1Password has introduced a new anti-phishing feature that warns users when they attempt to paste passwords into suspicious websites. The panel also revisits Walmart's continued refusal to accept Apple Pay, noting that the retailer prefers its own "Walmart Pay" system to maintain control over customer purchase data. Apple TV+ continues to gain momentum with six Academy Award nominations for the film F1. The panel also previews upcoming content, including the March 27th premiere of For All Mankind Season 5, and discusses other popular series like Starfleet Academy and Monarch. A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to reports that John Ternus is being groomed as the next Apple CEO. Ternus has recently taken over management of the design teams, a move seen as a way to expose him to broader business operations before Tim Cook eventually retires. While some panelists express anxiety over a post-Cook era, others highlight Apple's history of strong succession planning.

Welcome back to the digital wasteland, fellow survivors. We kick things off in the FOLLOW UP by marking a year since the LA Fires—hello, PTSD—alongside a 4th Strokiversary and three years of sobriety, all while wondering why America is currently obsessed with shooting its own civilians in the face.In the IN THE NEWS segment, Wired is finally teaching us how to protest safely in the age of surveillance, and the EFF is cheering on the hackers fighting ICE's Nazi-adjacent tracking tactics. Meanwhile, Meta is harvesting your AI chats for targeted ads, Disney is paying $10 million for spying on kids, and Grok has spent the holidays generating nonconsensual child abuse material—a problem Elon Musk won't have to legally reckon with until the Take It Down Act hits in May. Instagram's Adam Mosseri has basically surrendered to the AI "slop", suggesting we fingerprint "real" media because the fake stuff has already won the war.As we continue the descent, OpenAI is launching a ChatGPT Health portal despite their "loser energy" and compute limits, while Character.AI and Google are quietly settling lawsuits for bots that encouraged teen suicide. Polymarket gamblers are learning that "decentralized" juries will fist you over the definition of an "invasion" just as fast as a bank. Uber showed off a new Lucid-based robotaxi, but we're pumping the brakes on the safety hype given that autonomous vehicles are five times more likely to crash at dusk. To wrap up the news, Tim Cook took home $74 million last year, which is a lot of "systematic philanthropy" he could be doing right now instead of just writing checks to his own ego.In MEDIA CANDY, we're suffering through the Stranger Things wrap-up and a John McTiernan holiday marathon, though the real highlight is MTV Rewind's tribute to music videos. We've got Traitors, The Pitt, and even a John Candy doc on the list, while APPS & DOODADS brings us the DJI Osmo 8, Victrola's turntable-vibrating speakers. At least California's DROP tool lets you purge your data from 500 brokers at once.Finally, we go to THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE to hear Dave Bittner rant about holiday tech support, health insurance gouging, and Dave Filoni taking the Star Wars reins. We close out with a look at ILM's 50th, the deepfake porn cesspool formerly known as Twitter, and a birthday toast to the Starman himself, David Bowie.Sponsors:CleanMyMac - Get Tidy Today!

In the December 2025 edition of Apple Crunch, hosts Thomas Domville (AnonyMouse) and John Gassman wrap up the year with a wide-ranging discussion covering AppleVis community awards, Apple's own App Store recognitions, major Apple hardware and business news, and an accessibility-focused app pick to close out the month.The episode begins with a deep dive into the AppleVis Golden Apples Awards for 2025. Thomas explains the nomination criteria and selection process before announcing this year's winners. PixieBot takes top honors as Best App of the Year, praised for its rapid adoption of new AI models and especially its standout video description capabilities. Adventure of Faith earns Best Game of the Year for its fully accessible RPG design and highly engaged developers, while the PixieBot developer is recognized as Best Developer of the Year for consistent community involvement and innovation. The prestigious David Goodwin Lifetime Achievement Award goes to Aira, recognizing its long-standing global impact in providing visual assistance to blind and low-vision users. Runner-ups across categories, including Ally, InnerSearch AI, Art of Fauna, Land of Livia, and Weather Gods, are also discussed in detail.From there, the conversation shifts to Apple's own 2025 App Store Awards, focusing on the Cultural Impact category. Art of Fauna and Be My Eyes are highlighted as winners, with discussion around why Apple may have chosen to spotlight these apps as examples of accessibility, inclusion, and broader social awareness.The second half of the show turns to Apple news and rumors. Thomas and John examine troubling reports about the iPhone Air, including its dramatic 47 percent resale value drop within ten weeks and what that says about consumer demand and pricing strategy. They also revisit ongoing rumors surrounding the iPhone Fold, expressing skepticism about its rumored $2,400 price point and questioning whether it risks becoming another niche, luxury product. The Vision Pro receives similar scrutiny, with discussion of sharply reduced marketing, low unit sales, and signs that Apple may already be shifting focus away from the headset.This leads into a broader conversation about Apple's leadership, including rumors that Tim Cook may step down. While acknowledging his many successes—particularly Apple silicon—the hosts debate whether recent missteps in AI, hardware pricing, and product strategy signal that Apple may be ready for a new era.The episode concludes with AnonyMouse's App Pick for December 2025: Mona 7 for Mastodon. Thomas discusses Mona's long history as a highly accessible social networking client, the mixed community reaction to its move to a subscription model, and why it remains a strong option despite controversy.Hosted ByThomas Domville (AnonyMouse) John GassmanCrunchy TopicsGolden Apples Spotlight — Celebrating Accessibility Excellence Apple's Cultural Impact Awards Apple News Bytes and Rumors Leadership Shift — Is Tim Cook Nearing the Exit AnonyMouse App Pick of the MonthResourcesGolden Apples Spotlight — Celebrating Accessibility ExcellenceAppleVis Announces Winners of the 2025 Golden Apple Awards https://applevis.com/blog/applevis-announces-winners-2025-golden-apple-awards…
