Mac OS Ken: Live

Addressing a couple of financial notes today, and taking a couple of questions (and throwing one back).

Apple invites folks to "One More" event. Apple Silicon seems a certainty, but will there be other stuff? Also - as Apple Services hit other hardware, and as other services hit Apple hardware, are we still seeing a halo effect, or are those days behind?

I find myself irked by some of the reaction to Apple's fourth-quarter earnings. Can Apple One and my return to Apple Arcade help me relax? There may be venting in today's Mac OS Ken: Live.

A surprise beat from Apple, with records records everywhere (iPhone not included). Today, we hit some of the comments from Apple CEO Tim Cook, Apple CFO Luca Maestri, and questions for each from analysts on the Q4FY2020 call.

The Financial Times says Apple is working on an in-house Google alternative. But what about all that money?!? Is there any reason Apple can't have its own search solution AND Google's placement dollars? Plus - moves on ad tracking from France. The moves - not the ad-tracking.

Signs keep pointing to new Macs coming soon. We'll look at a few of those, and consider what we might get when we get it. Plus, corrections! Because who doesn't like to say when they're wrong?

With Apple's fourth-quarter earnings coming this week, we'll take a quick look at what we might hear. Plus - Ken gets called out for something he said last Friday, which was about nine-weeks ago.

No more "free" headphones! No more "free" chargers! We got "free" LiDAR, though. Considering the freebies. Plus, we'll try to track down my lost watch band and hit some feedback from you!

Stores close for COVID, one closes for good, another catches fire, and several shrink. Lots to hit in Apple retail. Plus, a HomePod mini headline that won't leave my head, and a little bit of Feedback.

When the next iPhone says "5G," what does it mean exactly? Considering 5G messaging, today. Plus - Charlie Brown and Ted Lasso rope in The Motley Fool. What winning looks like for Apple TV+.
