10 years of Apple Watch, Siri leadership shakeup, DMA fines

1 hour 1 minute

Benjamin and Chance reflect on the history of the Apple Watch on its ten year anniversary. Also, the EU slaps Apple with its first ever fines under the DMA. Rockwell is said to already be making waves with big Siri leadership changes, and Chance appreciates the flexibility of modern Photographic Styles.
