The more things change, the more they stay the same. Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Eric Bolden, Marty Jencius, Web Bixby, Jeff Gamet, and Jim Rea discuss the return of Apple to advertising on X and why it makes sense. TikTok is back in the App Store which may or may not make sense depending on the interpretation of the law. As a bit of a jump on spring cleaning, the panel also looks at ways to manage your subscriptions to save a little money, and wraps by celebrating a special anniversary for a panel member.
