Benjamin and Chance discuss why Apple is so eager to ditch Qualcomm and use its own modems in the iPhone, why satellite is the natural progression for the Apple Watch Ultra, and get excited about rumors that the upcoming OLED MacBook Pro will swap the notch for a punch-hole display. Apple is also rumored to be partnering with Sony to bring VR controller support to the Vision Pro.
And in Happy Hour Plus, iOS 18.2 offers a bunch of cool non-AI features worth highlighting as Apple's latest operating system updates finally reach the public. Follow 9to5mac.com/join.
