The show starts with a few followups from recent shows, a handful of regulatory and legal stories, and some Apple HR and acquisition news, before diving into an unusually eventful month for Apple services and original content. The first of the four main stories is a rare editorial critiquing Apple's responses to recent events, and the remaining main stories are regular news stories, specifically, the new Creator Studio subscription bundle, Apple's AI deal with Google, and Apple's Q1 2026 earnings call. The show wraps up with a quick look at a few smaller Apple-related stories that made the news in January 2026.
