This week Dean returns to join Alan, Steve, and Karl as they hack their way through the week’s Apple and tech-related news. Well, hold on to your hats, folks, because Apple just dropped a jaw-dropping surprise! Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro are making their grand entrance to some iPads. Cha-ching! Apple's latest earnings rolled in, and guess what? They didn't stink as much as some naysayers predicted. In other news, keyboard maestro Brydge is bowing out. Apple Music Live is back in action, with Ed Sheeran strumming the first chords (groan, but hey, it's something). Uh-oh, Severance is in trouble again, so Alan's collywobbles will be staying a bit longer. Meanwhile, an iPhone takes a casual 14,000-foot nosedive and survives (cue applause), but still can't handle a two-foot one. And finally, you could be just a few clicks away from snagging that long-abandoned Twitter handle you've been eyeing. Fingers crossed! All this, and slightly more, on this week’s episode.
