Our Main Dive: Apple continues to be one of the driving forces in technology. But over a decade into the iPhone, and with an aging Macbook lineup, does Apple still have the mojo it needs to innovate? Bottom Line: Apple's innovations are increasingly incremental, but that's not too surprising given the maturity of the core markets in which it plays. But that doesn't mean we let them off the hook - they need to step it up. Our Fast Five: BMW's in-car #AI assistant; The risk of regulation and monopoly status for the tech/social industry; Lyft's new scooter service; and the person, and the North Korean team, behind the 2014 Sony hack. Our Tech Bites segment takes a look at the lack of government action on the Equifax data breach - a year in and while there was a lot of talk on how to encourage better protection of user data we're still struggling to actually get anything done. No GDPR-like policies, no mechanism to ensure user privacy, and no long-term vision. Does this open an opportunity for states, like California, to forge their own policies? And our Crystal Ball takes a look at the next technology and inflection point for consumer & business adoption.
